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

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
