Beloved —
People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy. (from Proverbs)
When last I wrote I used the word “shame” not as a “put down ” but as an indication that I recognized a missed opportunity to trust my Lord instead of myself. Which caused me to quickly confess my sin and get back on the right path. I pray for you to desire to trust the Lord God Almighty rather than yourself.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
. . . And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself . . . But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. (from Galatians)
The desire of my heart is to listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His guidance in all that I do, say, think or feel. My thought life is my greatest source of shame daily. I pray for you to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit and follow His guidance because he IS Almighty God!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (from Galaians)
You are the HEM and I am the temple. When I take my hand away from yours to look back or to try to control my future you patiently, mercifully, graciously wait until I learn that my happiness doesn’t lie within myself. Contentment is choosing Jesus Christ to live in me rather than having my own way. I pray for you to desire to want the Lord to be the HEM and you to be his temple.
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips. Reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (from Psalms and Proverbs)
I was born with foot-in-mouth syndrome; fortunately the Lord God Almighty has the cure. I have learned that if I study the Word, keep silent and listen for his leading I can keep my feet on the ground. I pray for you to desire to be led by the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
Luv Ya!
Beloved–
“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. (from Luke)
Pray for those who are abusive to you, that’s crazy! I tried it! It didn’t work! Then I looked in the mirror; there I stood nails and hammer in hand ready to use … yet my sin forgiven! Down on my knees, tears flowing praising my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray for you to know the love of the Lord God Almighty who loves you dearly.
Luv Ya!
