Daily Scripture and Thoughts


And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Matthew 22:37-39 ESV)

Love The Lord with all heart, soul and mind- who does that? Who truly loves the Lord with all their heart, soul, and mind?? Doing that would mean- you have taken self out of the way. You have submitted yourself an your flesh and have forsaken fleshly desires. 
To love The Lord your God in this manner- He is your everything. He is your all in all- In that he enables you to to love your neighbor. See we can not love your neighbor, can not love the brethren, we can not love others as ourselves unless we understand and love The Lord as He has commanded in this verse. So if we do not have the first part down. We will not and can not have the second part down.

If we can not love our parents- whether they have wronged us or not then we do not love The Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind. 

Dear Ones- loving is a commandment... we do not have an option whether to love or not. And we can not pick and choose those we want to love and those we will not love based on decisions they have made for or against us. WE HAVE TO LOVE- 
Is there someone in your life that The Lord has placed before you to love and forgive and you have not doing that?? You have made no effort because the enemy has convinced you dont have to? I plead with you to submit your heart today and Love The Lord as you have been called and in turn Love others as you have been called.

Love is a decision we each must make-- and sometimes Loving someone hurts.

Solo para la gloria de Dios

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
