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...

Standing Appointments With God

Diamonds,  we may set aside a day or time to take a break from life's daily activities, but we can not take a break from meeting with God in our daily prayer and meditation times in the Word. If you desire for your steps to be ordered by God, how? If you decided to miss your daily appointment with Him? I promise you, if you keep God first and make Him a priority, or treating His relationship with you as valuable and important than anything else going on our itenerary--watch the many different ways God will move on your behalf. Watch the added grace He deposits in carrying out that long laundry list of tasks. He is so faithful, that those very tasks we worry about completing at the expense of missing our appointment with Him, He grants more grace in time in order to get them accomplished only because WE DIDN'T TAKE A DAY OFF FROM MEETING UP WITH HIM! Again, there are alot of things we can afford to put off,  take time away from but the most beneficial we must cherish and kee...

Looking the Part can be so far off!!

Diamonds, many people are looking the part, but they are falling apart and their hearts are far off . The truth can also be said of ourselves if we are not honest with who we are and how we are living apart from how we look on the outside but God sees the heart. God has a way of distinguishing the real from the fake. Try the spirit by the Spirit the Bible says.(1 John 4:1-5) The Bible also says that you may those who are His by their fruit. (Matthew 7:15-23) We can't get oranges from an apple tree or lemons from a grape vine. It is the same way with those that may look the part but they have no love for their neighbors. They don't trust in the Word of God. In fact, they live contrary to the Word. And for anyone that does not confess Jesus as Lord, they do not, will not, cannot without the presence of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:3) The Holy Spirit seals every believer, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possess...
