Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart--Psalms 37:4

If we put God first in our lives, We will soon begin to see our lives being more blessed than we could have ever imagined or dreamed.

He has a heart that cares about all that concerns us, down to the tiniest fiber of who we are. If we change our heart, the actions and the fruit that our lives bear, will change also.

One of the books I'm reading is called the Godsend--How to create heaven in your life. In it, the author states; As man's faith increases, his problems decrease and his blessings increase.

Let's delight in the Lord and watch Him take what man sees as impossibilites, and bring them to life.

God bless,

Pamyla

Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man -- Colossians 4:6

We should always think before we speak to others, especially in situations where tension and confusion fills the air.

The way we speak to the mechanic working on our car, or the slow customer in front of us in line, could brighten our dampen a day in a split second.

More and more people are struggling with one or more issues in their lives. The way we answer, or speak to another, could encourage them to keep going, or convince them to give up.

We never know what is going on in someone's life. Let's all work on seasoning our speech. The bible teaches that we should treat others the way we want to be treated!

God bless,

Pamyla

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?--Matt 7:3

We all need to be careful in judgement of others. Why judge our co worker, for keeping a messy desk/office space, when we jump out of beds at home without making it up,and climb back into it at bedtime?

When we judge others, we are not treating them fairly. Those who have faced deep oppression head on are careful not to judge others.

The bible says that we will be judged by the same measure we use to judge others. God's word is the same yesterday, today and forever.

God bless,

As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.--Galatians 1:9

The 'Secret' to a blessed life is in the word of God. His word, the bible, is our sword of truth. Become 'enlightened' God's way.

The same blessings and miracles He has bestowed upon others, he will do for you. We do not have to purchase special 'miracle cloths', send in any certain amount of money, or jump through hoops to get a blessing.

Look to God for answers. Pick up the bible, call on Him, and He will answer you.

God bless,

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.--II Timothy 1:7

The news although not always nice or pleasant is something that we need to keep abreast of.

Yes, horrible things happen all around us, but we should not become fearful nor allow those things to steal our joy and keep us confined, bound and living a life filled with fear.

God is faithful and he promised to never leave nor forsake us. We can live with the power of His spirit, in love and in truth. Trust Him to show you the way to freedom.

God bless,

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you--I Thessolonians 5:18

Life has it's own ups and downs that will come our way no matter who we are, where we are from, what we do or don't have.

Life is life period, and it is bigger than we are!

We all face challenges, and there are thing that come our way which are intended to make up doubt God, give up hope, and feel like we only have enough strength to lie down and die.

Thank Him and praise His name for all of the times He showed up and worked things out, even those things that threatened our very lives. He is worthy!

God bless,

But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand--Isaiah 64:8

God is the author and finisher of our faith. Even as we confess these truths, we give little thought to the times inbetween. We all have tests and trials, fallacies and flaws.

We have all done or said things that we would like to take back. Thankfully God is forgiving of any and all things. All we have to do is ask.

We are all cracked pots, the Master Potter has us in His hands and lovingly molds and shapes us as we spin on the wheel of life.

Thank you Lord for your lovingkindness

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Many times we worry about how we will pay our bills, where the next meal is coming from, if we will marry, and on and on.

We serve a loving God, He knows our needs and has promised to never leave nor forsake us. We can take Him at His word.

Whenever worry tries to overtake us about the matters of life, let's take a look-see outside. We are more than the beasts of the fields.

Whether it is a squirrel in a tree, a bird of the air, or an ant that crawls over the ground, they know that their needs will be provided for.

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret
Ephesians 5:12

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret

Take your time--don't read the bible too fast you will miss more than you get out of it.

Be careful of how you speak about and also what you take in about others. Gossip is not nice, cute or pretty and it destroys reputations and lives. It is not until after you have been on the receiving end that you truly understand its ill effects.


Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be our friend...lol..remember that song? Those who gossip about others, most assuredly are gossiping about you!

God bless,

Pamyla

for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart—I Samuel 16:7b

God loves each of us we were all created in His image. If we were to walk past a field of yellow flowers notice one that was much taller, and of differing colors, would we not still see it as being beautiful? The fact that it stands out in the crowd alone makes us take notice.

If we continue to look at the differences in each other as being strange or unacceptable, we will soon find ourselves creating a world where only those who have surgical procedures to look like carbon copies of eachother are the norm. God made each of us distinctly beautiful and like no other.

There are those who have Heterochromia, Vitiligo, Albinism or huge skin burns. What a person looks like should never have a bearing on our perception or acceptance of them. It is what's on the inside that makes us who we are.

When I was a teen, I saw an episode of The Twililght Zone called, “In the eye of the beholder”. In it everyone underwent plastic surgery to look like everyone else. What we call beautiful was seen as horrific and even terrifying. This is a great satirical view on how we are today.

Let's pray to be more accepting of others in our day to day lives. We never know what friend we may find in the person sitting right next to us!

God bless,
Pamyla

The image above is of yellow flowers and one purple and white one which stands much taller than the rest. Although it is different, it is no less beautiful than the others.
