Diamonds,
I woke up this morning thinking on the goodness of God where even after I've fallen and ashamed of what sin that was hidden in my heart yet rose to the surface, I was able to come boldly before the throne of God's grace and obtain mercy in my time of need.  I didn't have to wallow in my sin or harbor, and or harden my heart, but to come before Him and ask for forgiveness.  I want to be more and more like Jesus and it seems the more I try to draw closer, there are blemishes that come up that concealer won't cover up because no matter how we may try to mask the blemish, God can see what's going on underneath the foundation.

Peter, one of Jesus's disciples loved Him and it was evident because God the Father revealed to Him who Jesus the Christ was yet, Jesus knew that in the face of opposition that Peter would fail Him.  In fact, Peter denied Jesus three times.  The one whom Jesus declared, "upon this rock (Peter) I will build my church," would fail Him but Jesus restored Him and I believe He should Him mercy because in building the church even with Christ as the Chief Cornerstone is a process--not a perfect process but a process that involves imperfect people.

Unity does not just happen but something the church must constantly work towards and it's going to take for every participant to do their part because mistakes/errors will be made; therefore, when the opportunity presents itself, we ought to be merciful and forgiving toward one another.  That important part for the believer, is that forgiveness is always available.  If you love truth then continue to come to the light when your deeds, sins and character is less than Christlike.  When what has been revealed in you is less than Christlike, confess it and ask God forgiveness.  Those who love darkness won't but as a woman of faith, through Christ, you can bounce back and begin again!  #thankGod4Jesus

I heard it said once that people don't evangelize because they are too concerned about their finances. Instead of concerning ourselves with our finances, we need to make our trust in God a priority. Outside of God we will never have enough or be satisfied: therefore, we ought to totally rely upon the strength of God who is our Source and promised that we would not go without lack nor seed begging for bread. I've tried God at His word. There was a time I needed $500 and God laid me on the heart of someone and said, "God laid you on my heart to be a blessing to." The "things" we spend time worrying about that would potentially take our minds off of doing the work of God, God is already working that situation out for you. You just have to trust Him and continue in the work while you wait for Him to fulfill that which He promised. Now, if you haven't accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior then these promises do not apply to you but are available because Jes...

Diamonds, Starting over can be a very humbling experience but one you should not resist. Its all apart of the process for God to make all things new in our lives. Being afforded the opportunity to have a fresh new start, or afforded the opportunity to blossom in a new pot of dirt speaks to both the grace and the goodness of God. Regardless of whatever your yesterday dictatated to you, the moment God allowed you to start over should keep your focus foward. You can't drive and arrive at your destination looking backwards. Besides, that chapter is over. Finished! Where God is leading you is full of promise and the production of fruit that will last. Get ready for your later days to be greater because you are no longer your past! Walk in the confidence of God knowing He will never lead you where He is not and  He has your best interest in mind! Be Blessed & know since you have a reason to shine (because God resides on the inside of you) let your light shine so that others may...

Taking It Lying Down!

Diamonds, What do you do when your being mistreated? Insults being hurled at you? People talking about you? Lie on you? Mistreat you all the while they tell you that they love you, are for you, and smile in your face; thinking of new ways to manipulate you in order to further use you to their benefit with no plans of giving you credit.  But God is awesome in that He will open your eyes to their evil and diabolical schemes toward you; it may appear that you are passively resisting but in the spirit, you are actively praying unto God regarding the situation. You are asking and inviting God into the situation; He is the One who is with you and will go to bat for you all while it may appear that you are taking things lying down .  There is no need to make it public because God has a way of making spectacles out of devils or the devils that some allow to control them. He did just that when His Son died on the cross at Calvary. He did not come down , all the while it app...
