Daily scripture and thoughts


                         


Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.  (John 14:23 -24 ESV)

Dears Ones

How do you show people in life you love them? As children you show love by obedience. As " teenagers" by following and submitting to your parents, as adults by living out in your life the things your parents taught you. 

As believers in Christ , our Father expects no different. Here out of Jesus' mouth -He shares how our love is to manifest. We are to love Christ in our deeds as well as our words.  When we share with others that we are Believers they have an expectation of behavior and also an expectation of how we are to speak. We sin when we go against not only the expectation because we make a mockery of God but also the very fact that we do not live by His Word.

When our actions do not manifest His Word and we live by our flesh justifying the sin with excuses and lies- we sin. 

As we are revealed truth we are expected to live by it. We can dismiss, justify, pretend that we are not sinning but some day when you stand before the throne of God you will have no more time for excuses. 

If anyone loves me he will keep my word-- 

Lord I love you and desire to keep your Word in my life, It leaves me in a place where I have no friends, and leaves in a place that those who say they love me turn away-- but my love for you supersedes anything in this world. I know that one day Father you will shine your face upon me with such regard and love - that is what I seek.

I praise you and may your Word manifest from me in Word and deed! To your glory!

In Jesus name

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...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
