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

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
