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

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

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...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
