Love power

Doing good, helping out, lending a hand, giving away...anyone can do it. Many do. Many don't. The difference? A natural response of the love infused heart is to show love. Not for show, for the flow.

Love makes it work

Your "it" will work to affect eternity "if" empowered by the love of God, Flowing to you, through you. Got love?

Love words

The most powerful commander of language and master communicator can wield words like an expert martial arts competitor with swords, with skill and precision, always on target to accomplish the goal. Yet, words powered by love, a God-empowered love, will change the trajectory of a life. God-breathed words, spoken from a heart of love, bring life.  Love outloud today, speak the truth of God's Word, from a heart overflowing with His love. Start a love revolution with love words.

Love in action

Praise and thank God for what He is doing, has done, and will do in your life. That's the heart of worship. After soaking yourself in His presence, allow your heart to be turned to using what God has done for you, to be a help to someone else. This isn't complicated. Today, use what you have to help someone else.  It could be a warm smile or a plate of warm food, an ear willing to listen, arms willing to hold or hands ready to open, lift, or fold in prayer...living loved includes allowing the lavish love God has poured on you, to flow through you, to someone else. Be a blessing. Thank God for His many gifts, ask Him how you can use what you have to help one person, today. Let's start a love revolution!

“Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the merciful Father, the God from whom all help comes! He helps us in all our troubles, so that we are able to help others who have all kinds of troubles, using the same help that we ourselves have received from God.”

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 GNT

Revolution

It's time for radical action. Let's start a love revolution right now. Show love.

“My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.”  1 John 3:18 GNT

Love

Love is an action word. Don't just say you love, take time to show your love. This world needs to see love in action!

Invite

Jesus can walk thru walls, appear anywhere, anytime.  Yet, He stands outside the door and waits for an invitation to come in...He doesn't just walk in, He knocks. He is waiting to enter your heart, your life, your circumstances...answer the knock on the door.  Invite Him in.

Called to be Free

Called. The phone rings. Your number was chosen, selected, on purpose dialed. The call is for you. You answer.  You received a call. That's pretty simple. Being called by God is just as easy to understand. He knows your number, after all, He assigned it. He calls you. All to often we miss the call by overcomplicating the process with special ringtones, buzzers, and flashers (you know, only certain ones get called...).  He calls you...to be free. He calls you to love. He calls you to serve out of love. Answer His call!

Exercise

The benefits of physical activity are proven. We know we need to get moving and feel better when we do so.  Even the promises of less stiffness, more flexibilty and strength, weight loss or weight maintaining fail to keep us motivated. We know we should but ... (you know your reasons). These physical bodies are only good for this world., These are the only bodies we get, so caring for the physical temple is important. Spiritual exercise is important, as well. We ned to fill up the spirit with times soaking in God's presence in His word, in worship, and in action.  The spiritual exercise benefits you now and later! Eternal benefits lasting forever. Now that's a reason to exercise!

Nothing

Some days are harder than others. Yesterday was one of those days. The reality of certain situations  overwhemed me, no amount of positive thinking could lift my spirit. Sadness crept in. Tears formed. But NOTHING can take my joy, quiet comfort from my Heavenly Father. NOTHING can separate me from Him.

Wherever

Everywhere. Anywhere. Wherever. God is there. Not later, afterwhile, in a few, but right now. He is with you right now, where you are. With God, in the moment...that's power and peace...and all the reason you need to stand strong and walk in confidence.

Protection

Protection comes in many forms.  Man has created a safety sealed, air-bagged, safety locked, video and alarm protected environment from home to vehicle to workplace and school.  Metal detectors scan us, video cameras watch us, concealed weapons arm us, electronic devices connect us, gps systems will locate us, the military-law enforcement-homeland security, FBI stand guard. Protected.  While all the manmade devices and plans are good, in a way...nothing makes me feel more secure than feathers, His wings.

Fruit inspector

Can you imagine having the job of a fruit inspector?  Standing at a conveyor belt, as fruit flys by, keenly watching for blemishes, bruises, or other imperfections and then pulling out and discarding the fruit that fails inspection.  I am so glad our Heavenly Father doesn't discard us when our fruit fails to pass inspection.  However, our fruit is an indication of whose we are.  Inspect your own fruit...from the Spirit of God?

Good thoughts

Half full, half empty. You get to choose! Consider thinking on things in the positive, find the good, see the best...think good thoughts.

Today

Today. Made by the Lord and reason to rejoice!  Be glad! My mind is already full with thoughts of this day...first day back to school! It is tempting to allow worries and concerns to drown out the excitement and joy of a new day, the only opportunity we get to live this day! I am reminded of my favorite verse...I choose to be glad and rejoice!

Strength

Early this summer, I thought my heart was failing. To think the all important blood pumping organ might be in distress is cause for concern.  Thankfully, my heart is strong. We depend on the organs of our body to function in order to keep us alive! While I am deeply thankful for the good report but more important is the strength that comes from my Heavenly Father.  I can make every effort to strengthen this "old" body, eat the right foods, exercise, manage stress...but this flesh will wear out. His strength, never will.  God is my strength!

Confidence

Confidence doesn't come easy in the mind of one who seeks to please others, which would be almost anyone, me included.  Several years of experiences  have taught me that if I depend on me, My degree of success is limited.  However, if my confidence comes from faith in what God can do, confidence soars. Today, I am confident, in Him!
