Matters of the heart. This is what Holy Spirit has been speaking to me about a lot these days.

Last week in the blog post Guard Your Heart, we talked about the importance of not allowing the seeds that the enemy plants to grow into weeds in our hearts. These seeds were planted to rob us of our joy and peace that is ours through Christ. They were also planted to stifle all of our God-given gifts and talents that were placed in us to share with the world and to stop the beauty that resides on the inside of us from being manifested on the outside.

This morning as I was pondering, I heard ever so softly the question, “what is the condition of your lens?”

I often say the manner in which we view others and respond to situations is largely dependent upon the condition of the lens that we are viewing it through. That lens is our heart.

True Identity: Remember Who You Are

The world will try to dictate who we should be, what our ideas should be, and what our beliefs should be. But, by reading His word, we are reminded of who we truly are. And, once we grasp that, when we look in the mirror we will see a reflection of our Heavenly Father. We will see the Christ in us.

No Greater Love

As Good Friday and Easter approach, I often reflect upon the meaning of the holidays. Every time I ponder the true meaning of the cross, I am in total awe, and often speechless.

How could someone love me so much that He would leave a Holy place, enter a sinful world, and willingly take my place on the cross?

No greater love exists!

The Wonder of God's Love

Hello Beautiful!! I have something very special to share with you today.

You are on God's mind, and He wants to remind you of His love for you.

But first, please ask yourself, how do I view God? How does God view me? Take a few minutes to ponder that and write it down if you must.

Some look at Him as being this great, big being, sitting in a chair...looking down at us, waiting for us to make a mistake so that He can chastise and punish us.

Some view him as being this celestial Santa Claus, believing that everything we ask for He will or should give it to us.

Although He is a God of judgement and certainly chastens those He loves (Hebrews 12:6), and the bible tells us that we have not because we ask not (although the concepts concerning this scripture have been misinterpreted by many to fit personal desires), these are just portions of His character.

God's motive for creating you, protecting you, caring for you, and sending His son Jesus for you is simply because of this...

HE LOVES YOU.

Sitting at His Feet

When I first got married, I lived in Beaufort, SC. The ministry that we are a part of is in Hanahan, SC (in the greater Charleston area). So, if you are from this area, you have gathered that we lived about 1 and 1/2 hours away from our church.

But that did not stop us from being faithful to the ministry.
