Books and Cover

 

Colossians 3:23

 

“And whatsoever ye do, do itheartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”

I love books. 

Reading is my passion. 

One of my fondest memories is when my father took me to get a library card. 

A book covered in polka dots was the first I checked out. 

I don’t remember anything about the story but I will never forget the cover. 

Needless to say I did, contrary to popular advice, judge the book by its cover. 

So it is in life. 

The cover, the first impression often determines the continuation of an encounter. 

Sometimes it’s a look. 

At other times it a tone or sound of one’s voice. 

There are times when a smile or empathetic look gets another’s attention. 

There is a scripture that says “we live our lives as a tale that is told.”

I pray that my “cover” is pleasing to the Lord. 

Let the content of my life reflect the love of Christ. 

This is my prayer. 

God bless.🌸✨ 

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. 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...
