A Servant's Heart

Diamonds, I prayed asking the Lord to give me a servant's heart and how else did I think this request would manifest itself? The Lord will place you in situations to serve others and I will be honest, when He did today, I didnt possess anything resembling the heart of a servant. I complained. I thought of what other personal things I wanted and had to do but being a servant means going out of your way for others in need. People are in so much need and the needs can be met if servants of God are willing to humble themselves and make themselves available.

In what ways is God calling you to serve but you are too busy to lend a helping hand? In what ways can you make yourself available for someone that needs a ride to the grocery store, laundry mat, or the doctor's office without pay? Not to mention, before dropping them off home, offering them something to eat or extending yourself alittle further by asking the simple question, " Is there anything else I can do for you?"

We tell people God loves them. We tell them that love is an action word. Well, today my friends, I thank God for the opportunity for me to be His hands and His feet!

I pray when the opportunity avails itself for you to be a blessing, you will accept the invitation to serve. Most importantly, when you do, serve as you are serving unto God and not man. Don't look for a reward from them but Him who has called you.

Love you all and in every way you can, be a blessing to someone!

Good Night!

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

The Strength of God

"The Strength of God" Thank you Lord for the strength we have in You. Thank you God for the strength from day to day. We can rely on caffeine but eventually it runs out, we can rely on vegetables and vitamins to give us strength but my God, the strength we receive from You when we are weak nothing can n'er compare. The strength that comes from You can enable us to love when we are hated on, forgive when people mistreat us, show mercy even when it wasn't reciprocated, give even when we are down to our last dime, have joy in the face of sorrow, long-suffer with others that the world says we ought to give up on--the way you long-suffered with us. You give us the strength through faith to persevere and see what the end is going to be. You strengthen us for the journey when our knees start to shake and they feel like they are about to give out until we begin to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen us, to hold us up, to fill us up, to strengthen us for the journey. ...

Praise God!

Diamonds, Praise God for the open doors to the hearts ready to accept Jesus as Lord! Praise God for every opportunity for the door to be knocked on that will lead to surrender and a saving grace covering all guilt, and shame from our pasts. Praise God for The Door which is Jesus Christ who is the way, the truth,  and the life! Praise God for the possibilities and opportunities that are married with a new life in Christ!! Thank You Lord for every open door!!!
