The Shining Example



"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."  - Luke 6:27-28

Dear Friends,

Have you ever walked into a room and it seems as though you were engulfed by negativity and animosity.  I have.  It is not a very good feeling.  Early on I would pray and I encountered such situations, "Lord just help me through.  Let me make it to my seat."  I have learned not to wait until I enter the room to start praying.  I pray at the start of the day for the strength and courage to face whatever the Lord has planned for me.  I go into the room smiling and even if I am shaking inside, I walk the faith walk with confidence in the One I serve.  Smiling, I am speaking and praying for any enemies I may encounter.  It doesn't matter if I know who they are or not.  God knows.  It's my desire to do good.  It's my purpose to bless those who curse me.  It is my privilege to pray for those who mistreat me.  I have a Shining Example to look up to.  The Lord Jesus Christ is The Shining Example.

in Christ

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.

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...
