Reminded of a Mother's Love - Week of May 12, 2019

Romans 8:38-39 King James Version (KJV)

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Dear Friends,
When I consider the words in Romans 8:38-39 I am reminded of a mother's love.  The love of a mother is a child's first introduction to God.  The womb our first home.  Sanctuary. Sustenance. Security.  I am reminded of a mother's love.  As such I am convinced that nothing can separate us from the strength of that love.  A loving mother will go to great depths and extend her reach beyond her comfort zone to aid her children.
I am reminded of the sacrifices of my own mother.  There were times when she did not eat so we could.  She worked hard to afford us the opportunities to pursue our dreams. I am convinced and I am thoroughly persuaded that nothing could separate my mother's love from her children.  Though she is absent from the body and present with the Lord she lives on in the hearts of her children and grandchildren. Yes, I am reminded of a mother's love.
In my heart today I am reminded of a mother's love as I think of women who have lost children to sickness or violence and are grieving today.  Let us remember them in our prayers. As one whom his mother comforts, the Lord will comfort them is our prayer. (see Isaiah 66:13)
God bless you today and may you be reminded always of a mother's love.
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...

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...
