Lord we give you praise for all that you are glory to the Lord!
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching one another in wisdom!
So grateful to be a child of God!
Churchmouse, Amen
It’s John 1:12-13 correct?
❤️
Hey Tracy, I don’t think that is too weird, we actually were supposed to stay in pairs if we walked anywhere other than where we were serving the food. And one guy did say there had been some violence lately in that park. You just never know these days, and can’t be too trusting like we used to sadly. It was nice that my husband was with us!
I pray for all the division as well.
There is so much division going on in our country right now. I pray that we would be the light that shines, peace, love and compassion. ❤️
Hallelujah, yes Churchmouse, my heart’s desire is to be still and know, to recognise His whisper as I miss it so many times. Be blessed everyone x
Yes, may the Word richly dwell amongst us believers, resulting in unity. The Word becomes deeply rooted the more we read it. The more we read it, the more we know God’s will. And all Christians should want to be right there, smack dab in the center of His will. Regardless of the loud voices rising up around us, the deep roots of the Word keep us firmly grounded in Truth. Truth’s whisper is more powerful than the shrillest shout. Be still and know that He is God.
“Let the Word of Christ dwell richly among you” (Colossians 3:16). May the peace of Christ rule in our hearts (v. 15). Let all that we do come from here- roots to tree to fruit. Care for the root system. The unseen grows visible to the seen. What is in our heart flows out. Notice and take care so that all that grows and flows brings glory and goodness in the eyes of God. Light brings sight. Jesus brings salvation. He is the true Light Who brings sight to the blind, saving us from a life of darkness. Salt and light, enabling us to “taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalm 34:8). We who received Him bear witness to the Light (John 1:16-18). We are seen, He knows us, and His Light shines through us into the world. We are His lights shining in the darkness. Selah. Maranatha. Amen.
Amen.❤️ Thank you Lord for your Word which is the plumb line for our daily living. Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend across the pond. (Great to see you dear Tina)
RHONDA J – It is awesome what you are doing. I don’t know if you saw my comment yesterday. Transients that are addicts probably having some mental health issues make me nervous. Not proud of that, just a fact. I’m praying I will know how to be salt to the world.
Lord fill us with your Holy Spirit.
Good Morning She’s!
Yesterday my prayer was to make a real connection with some of the homeless people as we serve them food and give out clothing. So I walked around, asked names, and listened. There was one young lady there, beautiful, Jerrica, that my friend prayed for and we talked with, learning a little more of her story. She has a young boy and a toddler girl that live in foster families because she had a major drug problem and prostitution. But she said she knows God is working in her life and she is trying hard to stay away from those ways. But she is sleeping in the park where it is a struggle. It’s so hard to find a way out of that situation when you don’t have lots of strong help and specific steps to really make the transformation. She sang us some verses of a Christian song and it was so beautiful, (she has an amazing voice!) that she said she sings at night sometimes when she needs to be close to God. Please pray for her.
Some other names I would love for you to pray for are Agnus and Taylor.
It’s hard not to have an air of self-righteousness as we pass by homeless people maybe begging on the corner, or asleep on a sidewalk. We often ignore or look down on them with disdain or sadness. But none of us want to give out money to be spent on drugs, so we don’t know how to help. I pray God leads us to know the answer.
We saw how prayer made a difference yesterday with the ruling! Thank you heavenly Father that the abortion law was revoked! That was a huge moving of our God speaking! Now let’s be more intentional and available to those mothers in need! And share the love of Jesus!
Glad I found you on fb @ Michelle Patire! Anyone else want to connect? I am under Rhonda Johnson in Fort Myers.
Have a great wkd!
Amen
Amen
Such timely verses for the state of our nation. May they know we are Christians by our love.
Thank You, Lord for the gift of the Bible. Thank You that You have given us a way to know You and Your purpose for us in this world.
Praying for those in this world who do not have access to this gift. Make a way, Lord for Your truth to be revealed to them.
Did you read the surrounding verses? So good!
Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Praying through the requests and missing some of the “regular” sisters.
Praying especially for the new moms and older “moms”, I echo others comments that it does get better and confirm the awesome work the Lord is doing through moms of all kinds when these children hear and see Jesus through you. Not a mom myself but have helped raising some of the grands in the family, thinking at times that some things would never end, like the sleepless nights.
They do end and I wish I had cherished that time just a little more. Trying to remember to cherish each age as they grow up.
May it be so!
Happy Saturday dear hearts wrapped in love,hugs and prayers..❤
