"Be joyful in hope and patient in affliction..."

While walking to get a taxi this morning God gives me a word and it was this "Be joyful in hope and patient in affliction" this sentence was literally ringing in my ear. I didn't understand it and then when I get to work my husband sent me a message that is basically a notice he received from his boss and it wasn't a good one. As I went about my work this words kept coming back to me and I typed up the words in the search thingy on Google and low and behold that words is from a scripture in the Bible, it is Romans 12:12 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." I needed to read the last part "faithful in prayer"

I want to to encourage you with this word this morning "be joyful in hope" who is our hope? it is Jesus, "be patient in affliction", do not ask God to remove your trial or your tribulation ask him to strengthen you in the midst of it, "be faithful, stay constant in prayer" keep on praying even if you don't know what to say just say "Lord you know my heart, take control". Nehemiah 8:10 "The JOY of the Lord is my strength" I am meditating on this verse for the week and I tell you it has been my source of strength.

I can choose to be angry and I can choose to be miserable today, but it will not change our situation so instead I will praise God for this obstacle and I will put my trust in Him for I know God is faithful and He deserve the glory and the honor and I will lift my hands in worship and I will bless His holy name, because He is great and mighty and He will deliver us form this trial in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen!!

I choose today to put my trust in God and I will bless the ones who does harm to me and my family I choose to distance myself from them but I will keep on praying for them.

God opens doors that no man can shut and He closes doors that no man can open and instead of seeing your closed door as an ending see it as a new beginning for God to do greater things in and through your life!

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of your today as you rest in His love and peace and in His Joy! In Jesus name, Amen!!

In His Love

Thought for the day...

When someone shares something with you in confidence don't go jumping on their issues' band wagon, don't make their issue yours, respect their issue in the way it is presented to you don't go making up your own stories because in the end the person who shared with you has made peace with it and you who has now made it your issue is just showing that you are not that "mature" to deal with the information given, examine your own heart and deal with your issue accordingly. We are all different and we deal with things differently and work through things differently so let us respect the differences, doesn't make my way right and your way wrong. It is what it is

I THANK YOU...

Today I have this IMMENSE gratitude towards people whom I have known for a season and whom have now either removed themselves from my life with ill intentions or whom has accepted my way of ending our season. I must say I never thought that some friendship doors that I had to close were laying so heavily on my heart and it was holding me back. I do feel FREE and I am moving forward at a pace that is surprising me, ALL GLORY TO GOD! I have such gratitude towards those people who have moved on for whatever reason and I am so filled with JOY this morning that my soul cannot contain it and I want to speak a blessing over each person whom I have had the honor of knowing but who has now moved on, I pray a blessing of GREAT things to come in your life and I PRAY THAT GOD WILL SHOW YOU MIGHTY THINGS AND THAT YOU WILL STAY CLOSE TO JESUS, IN JESUS NAME,MAY YOU LATTER BE GREATER THAN YOUR FORMER, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN! Just a small ENCOURAGEMENT for those out there who is still holding onto to...

No one is always busy...

Such truth in this picture. I saw this picture message on a page I follow on Facebook and it made me think and reflect and I shared it on my page but I didn't elaborate at the time because I was still filled with negative emotions. Then this morning a friend of mine shared it on her page and these are my thoughts about this and I am referring to friendships/relationships with family and just relationships in general. So please allow me to express myself.. What is most difficult to comprehend is that we allow people to have so much space in our lives and they give so little of their time to us...It hurts immensely when you know how committed you are to certain friendships/relationships and you get absolutely the bare minimum and that fact is what is making me walk away from many. Zainonesha had this to say about it " So true...then one has to settle with lame excuses as if our lives are depending on it. Be Honest I would say" Yes I understand that we are all in dif...
