'My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy .....'


Isaiah 60 Amplified Bible (AMP)
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favor, pleasure, and goodwill I have had mercy, love, and pity for you.

As I read this I must tell you that for a very, very long time I felt as though my God had forgotten all about me.  I was praying but it felt as though my prayers were hitting a bronze dome not allowing my prayers to get through to the Lord.  I then started to look at my life with a microscope and investigate what was wrong and how I could rectify my situation.  

 Not that I have the power to do anything but I started eliminating all the things I felt was sinful in the sight of God.  I started making amends and asking for forgiveness and coming clean before God and man.

It has taken a couple of years to bring me to the place I find myself.  You don’t have any idea how difficult and embracing many of the things are to be asking for forgiveness and repentance of these things.  When I read this verse and realized that God has been looking out for me.  Yes I sinned and finally came to my senses, God is faithful and was standing behind me watching and waiting.  I kept at it until things started changing.  I am pleased to tell you that I believe God has mercy, love and pity for me and you.   

Come clean with what you know is wrong, repent from it and take up the cross again.  Jesus died on the cross for you and me, let us not give up now, life is so short.

Take care, in the Love of Jesus I greet you.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
