“Erik and I were talking last night before bed and I was saying to him honey thank you for loving me through it all..the good the bad and the ugly..Amen..and of course he says honey your not bad or ugly..lol..Amen..but joking around of course..but this morning I am thinking of this..and thinking back even as child..and at how much you go through to how much you’ve been through..and at how that God our Father simply comes to you and pursues you in life..right where you are..smack dap in the middle of whatever and wherever you are in life..He comes along and gets a hold of you and your life..Amen..it is simply amazing to me..at how we don’t come for the Lord..but He comes to us and draws us..because the scripture says that no man comes to the Father except through Him..(John 14:6)..and at how that God demonstarted His own love for us..that even though we were sinners He chose to die for us..(Romans 5:8)..Praise the Lord!”

“But the thing about it all is this..when I think of the goodness of God and at how He truly loves us so much..I can’t even fathom it because we’ve never known love like this before in life..so for our carnal minds its hard for us to wrap our minds around it..Amen..because my husband has seen me at my very best and at my worst..and through all the struggles and problems and drama and sickness..and growing..and everything in between he has loved me and been kind to me regardless of how I am or what I was going through..he simply helped me to get through it..Amen..that is love..but think about the Lord..and at how much He knows of you and I..everything..Amen..every attitude..every sin..every secret sin..every thought..every gesture..every lie that you’ve told..all of the disobeidence..all of the gossip..all of the hating on of others..all of the jealousy..everything..but as well He knows all of the good that you are..Amen..not just the bad..or the ugly..so He I think as the word says looks at our hearts..(1 Samuel 16:7)..and there is where He sees the true us..Amen..and even through all of that..He never throws us away..He never turns us away..He nevers stops loving us ever so much..because He is love..(1 John 4:8)..Amen!”

“But maybe you feel that you’ve done too much..or gone to far..or simply just will never get this serving Jesus thing down so to speak..well, I have come to encourage you this morning that none of us will ever get it completely right this side of heaven..for we all are still in these earthly vessels..Amen..and God knows us and our frame that we are merely made from the dust..(Genesis 2:7)..Amen..but as well the bible says that a righteous man may fall down seven times but he will rise again..(Proverbs 24:16)..Amen..so if you’ve failed..and if you’ve messed up..in which case we do and its not as much as we are just choosing to..but if you have then ask the Lord for forgiveness and get up dust yourself off and move on into this brand new day that He has given..for the word says His mercies are new every morning..(Lamentations 3:22-23)..for Gods love is unfailing the bible says it is priceless..and that we take refuge in the shadow of His wings..(Pslams 36:7)..so know that we should never willfully just sin and do bad things..the bible says God forbid..(Romans 6:1-2)..but if we do and we will..then just know that God still love us..through the good..the bad and the ugly..He remains faithful to us always and forever..for He cannot deny Himself..(2 Timothy 2:13)..and I don’t know about you all but that gives me so much hope..and joy and happiness..and more than anything peace and love..knowing that the Creator of the Universe knows my name..calls me friend..calls me daughter..and loves me through it all..just as He does you..what a blessing and what a tremendous gift that we all have been given..so above all never forget that you my friends are loved through it all..Hallelujah!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
