Never Met Expectations - Letter From The King

Image
Dear Child, I know you are hurting. It is hard when you know you have blown it, especially when those you love let you know that you could have responded better. Feeling like a failure, you ponder what is the use of trying, giving or living. You hear understanding, love and acceptance when you kneel before Me, but as soon as you get up and try to move on, people in your life are all too ready to correct you and tell you how much you missed the goal in your Christian walk. You will never be able to be an example of Christ-like perfection. Even in total reliance on Me or more honestly, in casual reliance on Me, the very best you have to offer must be bathed in the covering of My grace. I know you. When I look to you, I see the righteousness of Christ, not all of your shortcomings and failures. I see who you are in Christ and all the wonder I created you to be. Most people don't know how to see others with such great love. Never see yourself through the eyes of others. See

Baby in the Manger, Baby in the Womb

Jesus was a baby placed in the manger after he was born, but His life started in Mary's womb. Most of us know His story, It is the Christmas story!  The Angel visited Mary nine months prior to Jesus's birth. Jesus was placed within her womb. He, being the seed of God, His only begotten son, was like an infant growing in his mother. Jesus was Father God's ONLY begotten son; God took the form of human flesh. Think about the Bible story, did Mary ever question whether the child growing in her womb was an actual baby? Did she and Joseph think about Jesus before He was born as a non-person? At what point from conception was Mary carrying the living God in her womb? Did his human life begin the moment he was birthed and placed in the manger? Or was He a living human being at conception? At what point did Jesus become human? Jesus is God. He is the creator, He was present in the beginning of time on earth. God is spirit and truth. But when Jesus entered Mary's wom

Well Done! A Letter From The King

Dear Child, I don't judge the way the world does. I look into the heart of each and see who is truly surrendered to live their life under My Lordship. Some will choose to live life selfishly doing what they want, seeking to satisfy their desires or to be "big" in the eyes of others. Dear Child, I want you to live to the fullest. When you live sacrificially, giving your will to Me, you join Me in kingdom work. Trust Me,  I will produce the increase. You might not be able to see the growth produced in the hearts of others as you serve Me, but in trusting Me, leave the effect of your obedience to Me. I will produce the increase as you walk in faith with Me. Never allow the world's judgment to cloud your obedience remembering that people can't see what I can see, and often they don't know what I have told you. Listen for My voice. I will guide you through life. You are not in a competition for My love or approval, so don't compare your part in ki

I AM says it all

God calls Himself, "I Am." How simple! How vague! How bold! Jesus Came into the World as a Man so that We could know God personally! We all have times in life that we feel alone, unloved, small, even unnecessary. But interestingly, God never once sees us this way. I wish that everyone in the entire world could just once see themselves through God's own eyes. As He looks at you He says, "I cherish you! You are valuable and have a purpose I have given you. In your future is hope." Um, you taking to me? The thought waves must have crossed, something cause an interference. I am sure He couldn't be speaking to me...  God persists, "Yes, you! I love you! I know about it all, and even still after all the missteps, after all the things you have done, I want you... to know Me. I want you to  have a relationship with Me, to seek Me, to let Me give to you." ***** How many times a day does God have this kind of exchange with a person?  D

Life In The Dash

I sometimes wish I didn't have to be concerned about big issues like the world!   Our country - liberty - abortion - illiterate - deception - corruption - hurting people - war - abuse... But once God has opened your eyes and then moves upon you to learn, act, speak, or write, you have a responsibility. To whom much that has been given much is required. My Beautiful Niece - Emily is a Missionary in Bolivia! Life would be easier if I was a bobble head. And had cotton candy for a brain. But, I would miss out on touching so man y on the soul/spirit level, and on growing with God as the sculptor of my soul. I know God created me to write, and knowing this brings great fulfillment in my soul when I am able to do what I was created to do by God.  I write about what God shows me and lays on my heart. I may never be understood ... that is OK. I may never fully understand myself. Who in their right mind wants to take on mind boggle issues/ to stand in the gap/ to enter spiri

Save Yourself!

Image
Recently, I had someone write to me in deep concern. They were afraid that I had fallen entrapped to the toxic teachings of Religion and dogma, and by doing so I was going from  one prison (a childhood of domestic violence to a rigid faith in a God teaching religion).  She warned me, "Save yourself!"  So as I usually do, I took the time to respond to her sincere concern for my wellbeing. And while writing her back I became filled with love--overwhelmed by God and very thankful for the relationship with Him that I so am blessed to have. He is everything to me, and fills all of the needs I have in life. I only wish others knew Him, not for what they think He is, but for who He really is: a holy, just, giving, loving, protective, approachable, healing Person. So I am sharing my response to her with you, below: A Relationship - In Love - God and Me I so do see the reality that I was a victim of domestic violence in many of the worst ways possible, short of being not

Letters From The King - Competition

Image
Dear Child, So much of life in the world is a competition. You need to be careful how you approach competitions, since they are judged by other people. I don't want you to be a people-pleaser. I do want you to live your life to please Me. Being a winner in My eyes can take the pressure off of worrying about what others say and how they judge. Don't get Me wrong; competition can be good for many reasons. It helps you to understand that you will be rewarded in heaven for the work you do for Me on earth. Do you remember the parable of the talents in Scripture? Each person was given a different amount of money and the owner returned to see how each used their talents, an amount equal to a yearly wage. The one given five talents invested it wisely and earned five more. The one given two also invested it wisely and earned two more. But the one give one talent was afraid of losing his portion so he buried it. In life you each have a portion entrusted to you by Me. The way you
