All of Me





" Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment."
     - St. Matthew 22:36-38
Dear Friends,

 A lawyer is posing the question to Jesus in the scripture text, tempting Him. Jesus, the Living Word issued a response. We are commanded to love the Lord with all of our being, encompassing our heart, our mind and our very soul.  When I think of the Lord and meditate on His goodness my mind is enabled to manifest love for the One who gave me life and sustains my life.  As I reflect with sincere introspection on the myriad of ways in which the Lord has blessed and continues to bless me, my heart is filled with reverence and love for the Lord who gave His life that I might have everlasting life.  When my  heart and mind are synchronized something spectacular happens. There is an "overflow" within me that I cannot explain.  It is the stirring of the Holy Spirit that empowers me to recognize the love the Lord has instilled. Hallelujah!  My soul loves Jesus!

 It is a privilege.  It is a gift to love the Lord with all of our heart, with all of our soul and with all of our mind.  It is miraculous.  It is marvelous. It is required...all of me.

 in Christ,

 Sis. Stephanie

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
