“I know that for my life to stay on the path — to stay doing what my Father desires of me — I must put feet to it. But it also requires me to be intentional, purposefully intentional. Not just doing whatever, but actually thinking about what I do and what I will do each day. This is a daily commitment. Amen.

How many of you know that you can slip, that you can drift from things you once did — until one day, you realize you’re not doing them anymore — and you never even noticed it? Until you start being intentional in your life. You make plans, you structure your days. If you don’t, things will disappear — things that mean a lot to you. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll end up just doing whatever and letting your life unravel. Amen.

The Father gives us freedom, and He gives us hands and feet to use for Him and for His glory. He doesn’t force us into action; He plants desires in our hearts. With those desires comes our obedience to Him and His call on our lives. Amen. He doesn’t force Himself on us or take away our free will. He wants us to come freely — to live freely for Him. Not out of duty but out of love. And when we love Him, we will desire to please Him.

My heart today is that as I walk this pathway, I would grow ever closer to the Father. Amen — that I would change, expand, shine ever brighter for Him. That I would intentionally plan to please Him, to make a difference in this life—not just live it for myself, but live it wholeheartedly for Jesus. Amen — placing Him first above all else. For in the end, I want to stand before Him and hear, “Well done, my good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord.” (Matthew 25:23) Amen!

You see, all of us can be saved — but salvation is more than a ticket in hand. It’s doing the will of God, being the best version of ourselves, steadfast, unwavering. Always abounding in His work. (1 Corinthians 15:58) I have failed many times — more than I can count — but I don’t want to keep failing and falling. Especially when those falls are mine alone. James 4:17 says, “to know what is right and to do it not is sin.” And sin is sin in God’s eyes, no matter how small. Sometimes we abuse God’s grace or live so self-centered we never pause to pray, and or just to simply listen. Amen.

So I pray we all help ourselves by being intentional in everything — in what we do, in what we say, in how we live. Bow before our Father, prostrate, saying, “Here I am, Lord — use me, Amen!” Then we rise up and we go. Amen!”

“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 ❤️
