Surely Goodness and Mercy and Unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life,And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.Psalm 23:6 Amplified Sometimes in difficulty as children of the Most High God, we may forget just how much we are loved and how nothing comes into our lives without our Father’s permission; we live in the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of God lives within us. We also may turn…
“I am my Beloved’s, and my Beloved is mine, He who feeds his flock among the lilies.”Song of Solomon 6:3 (Amplified) Happy Valentine’s Day! On Monday, we celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Day of Sweethearts. Some of us have sweethearts, those who love and adore us, and others may not. I want to encourage all of you because we are the Valentines of the Eternal Lover of our Souls, the King of Heaven and Earth, Jesus Christ! When we gave our hearts to Jesus…
As I am growing older each day, one thing is for sure; I will leave this earth behind and go home to live with my Father, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit forever! Just the thought of going home excites me! My Father is constantly revealing Himself to me in some wondrous ways, so I know Heaven is going to be AWESOME! One of my sweet sisters-in-Christ, who is facing the end of her mortality, asked me, “Tresca, what do you think…
Previously we talked about what home may be like when we leave this earth. No one knows for sure the full scope of what we will experience when we get home, but we do know the earth is just an APPETIZER preparing us for our FULL COURSE MEAL! A term used in the Weymouth New Testament translation of the Bible is “foretaste.” The dictionary defines the word as: Sample or suggestion of something that lies ahead….
As I sat on the lanai (in Florida, it is a screened-in porch) with my Papa, Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit, this song came to my heart. It is called “Shepherd of My Soul” from Hosanna Integrity music. The Lanai SHEPHERD OF MY SOUL Shepherd of my soul, I give You full control Wherever You may lead, I will follow I have made the choice to listen for Your voice Wherever You may lead, I will go. Be it…
In our last blog, we reflected on the song “Shepherd of My Soul.” The blog’s premise was on the journey the Lord Jesus I took as I learned to give Him FULL CONTROL of my Life. Through many victories and failures, He has proved to me He is trustworthy (worth trusting with all of me). Jesus has been MY… in so many wondrous ways but today, I want to focus on Jesus, MY Good Shepherd. John 10:11-15 of the…
The name of the Lord is a strong tower.The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil]. Proverbs 18:10 AMP Over the past three years, as the Lord has been healing and restoring my mind, will, and emotions, I have made an incredible discovery; I am finally safe. Due to years of sexual abuse, trauma, fears, restlessness, and religious pursuits, the Lord has become MY SAFE PLACE in my soul! He has always been my SAFE PLACE in…
As I was reflecting on all the beautiful things my Lord is to me, I came up with just a few of them: The Lord is My Savior The Lord is My Redeemer The Lord is My Good Shepherd The Lord is My Safe Place The Lord is My Healer The Lord is My Friend The Lord is My Peace The Lord is My Joy The Lord is My Beloved The Lord is My Protector The Lord is…
You have heard the question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” We think of how kind they are, the beautiful things they do, or the many people’s lives they touch. Somehow, we believe, ‘Only good things should happen to good people.’ I am not sure why we have come to this conclusion because our Lord Jesus Christ told us, “In this world, you will have tribulation.” Tribulation is defined as ‘pressing pressure, anything that burdens the spirit, affliction, any situation which…
From our previous blog, Trials and Tribulations Part 1, we discovered that because Adam opened the door to Master Sin, Sin has wreaked havoc in the world around us. Jesus told us, In the world, you will have tribulations and to be of good cheer because I have overcome the world. John 16:33, Jesus said to be of “good cheer” not because of trials but because He overcame them ALL for us. Our brother, James, had a remarkably similar response to…
