GYM- God Your Mine

                                Biblical scripture on Exercise

                      http://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-Physical-Exercise/



Do you know that all of us human beings are made up of mind , body and soul.  What a profound thought to ponder, spending time thinking about 3 components that create life or existence, maybe even just survival.  What make a man/women successful ?  Have you ever truly considered the Gym that you have built in.  The God your mine, Gym that everyone is born with.

We are born innocent and are lead astray by programming of others, self doubts, failures, and false belief systems.  Have you ever looked at someone and they seem as peaceful as a calm sea, nothing can move them and they are not shaken by circumstances in life, there appearance is fit, there mind is clear, there bank account is plentiful and the words they speak are kind and soft, compassionate and they rarely have anger.

Chances are they exercise there mind in the word of God, in truth and purity, there faith is so strong that nothing can move them, they believe in things unseen and they know that nothing can separate them from the love of the Father, The God of the universe, who created everything.

I want that kind of unshaken, faith, that when things look bleak , I do not have to worry, or fret. I want the promises that God has laid out in scripture to those who believe and live according to his will.  So many people question - What is Gods will for my life, it is written down in the bible.  He gives us instructions for all things.

Being of carnal mind, we want to see the results, we want to touch the evidence , we want to hear the voice, rarely is it audio, we want to have the fruits with out the work.  

When one can turn his mind to the throne and focus on the good will and Christ and the reason God sent his only Son, to end the anger and to set man free from his sinful nature, that is when true transformation will come, do not be confused, it will not be easy, you must be willing to die to the flesh daily. Trusting that being aligned to His will , is going to be a proven way of quality living. Everything under the sun is for your taking, Good will, Good health, Good living, but first we have to set aside the things in the world that we want. We have to exercise the GYM , The God your mine and I turn it all over to you.  The Lord renews strength daily, and some days all we can do is rest in him and know that we are going to rise up again, Even Jesus slept and they all doubted he could preform miracles, but He did and in His perfect timing not ours.  We want what we want and we want it NOW.

I am a single women on a journey with God, a journey to build my Temple for him, and OH boy , I fall short, however he already knows that. That is not an excuse and I do not TRUMP the grace card.  I work daily to die to self, easy never, Worth it of course, He wants me to be faithful so that He can bless me and give me the desires of my heart.  Everything else comes after I find my faith in him.

How many times have we said, OK this time, I got to do this, or maybe tomorrow, God wants it all and He wants it Now. Tomorrow is today. Take my will and guide me . It is spiritual in nature, and that in turn brings change in the physical being and the mental status that one walks in.   To be positive in God is to be loving in nature , forgiving, the one we need to love the most and forgive the most is SELF. Put aside your past, your failure, because if you are born again, you are a new creature . He changes everything when you let Him direct your paths, He will place your feet on the correct path. We must die to self, that means everything must change.

I am writing from personal experience and yes I have my struggles, however, I rise up again, and always count on Him to lift me up. Experience has taught me that its a personal relationship with Jesus Christ the Son of God. 

Let's start with building or house, or temple, or minds on solid truths, solid foundations, so that when life shows up we do not crumble, but reach for His promises. Proclaim His truths, speak them out loud, and the walk in faith. The combination is a Heart affair, nothing more, nothing less. We all can be living in Peace and serenity.  Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Start talking good self talk,  tell your self your beautiful and that you love yourself and that God makes no Junk, that whatever your facing between His power and your desire , you have a inheritance not only here on earth but as it is in heaven.

My prayer for whom ever may read this is that you realize your a treasure, He knows the hairs on your head, and He knows what your heart desires, Speak loving kind things. Exercise your spiritual mind, and your carnal mind will change, your first thoughts will be on Him and His promise for life, not yours, or plans are not his plans, Thank God.

What ever you need, physical, mental, spiritual, financial, He wants you to petition Him and proclaim His promise, He already knows it He knows everything. He wants it to flow out of your mouth, out of the overflow of your heart, He wants to hear that you believe He said it and it is true.

This may sound complicated, but really it is simple, Jesus, taught in parables pictures and simplicity, He was not a complicated man, just a Faithful Sinless Son of a God who created everything.  What does it take to surrender it all. Throw your hands up and say here I am take my will and my life show me how to live, then walk , walk and talk, like your mean it, time will prevail and Jesus will never fail.

Please be blessed

Yo-Yo

 

Have you ever felt like a Y0-YO

Your up, your down, your been tossed around, Others have hurt you , you have hurt others.  Have you ever just felt like a Yo-Yo ?
 
Life is a series of events , good , bad and indifferent !  We all know the yoyo affect on our lives and in the life of our friends.
 
Always making new resolutions and promises to self and to others and following through until the going gets tough, then we quit and find ourselves wondering if we can ever accomplish our goals.
 
There is a solution to your up and down roller coaster life,  a ever lasting resolve to find your "Y"
 
Finding your why in life will open the door, to your what, where, who you are and what you are here for. Finding your why is that spark that will create a desire to push forward like you have never pushed before.
 
How do you find our why, our motivation to want to be the best we can be daily, and consistently ?
 
The answer was written well over 2000 years ago.  Every question you and I have for life, is written down in a book a basic instruction before leaving earth, because face it we are all going to face death one day and wonder what could have been different, when we start questioning the why of our own personal life, we open the door for something much larger than yourself to come in and start working in every area of our make up, the spiritual , the physical, the mental and the supernatural part of us that we all have the ability to tap into , we must seek out the answers through prayer, honest appraisal of who we are, what we have become, how we have gotten to that place and what we want to do to change it.  
 
A complete psychic change has to occur in order for someone to change from the inside out.
 
Many will cry out, but you don't understand I try, I pray and yet I remain stuck , stuck in the same old patterns and nothing changes.  Well, yes this may be true , so many times we think we are giving it 100% when really what we are doing is mixing our own ingredients with some biblical principals because we are afraid of letting go and the unknown .  
The YO_YO is actually comfortable and we know the pain of staying the same,  it is the pain of change that we fear.  Fear means to forget everything and run. OR Face everything and recover.
 
If you are like me and you are tired of being stung along by your own yo yo mentality the good news is you can change .
 
Here are the steps we take in order to change, First we need to admit the need for change, know one ever wants to admit complete defeat.  However admission is powerful and it opens the doors for this power to take over. That power is a loving God as he expresses himself to you and in the things around you, people , places, and things, God can be seen in it all, You must look.
 
After we admit this profound need to change, we start to examine or ways and look at our life, we forgive those who have harmed us and we ask for forgiveness to those we have harmed.
 
We make a list of assets and liabilities , we are neither all bad or all good. We write everything we think about, holding nothing back. The things that have been done to us and the things we have done to others, the reason we live in a yo yo mentality is because we always make resolution to change, but then run from the pain involved of emptying the emotional baggage we carry with us daily, staying stuck in a cycle, of up and down. 
 
We can find a constant flow of peace and serenity if we are willing to be uncomfortable for a undetermined amount of time, Cut that string to your yo yo mentality and live in abundance of the God things that God has for you ! 
    
Here is an example : Abraham looked squarely at the facts yet did not waver in his view of the future. So many times we either do not face the reality of the situation we are in and go into a blind optimism, or we get so caught up in our current situation that we become a pessimist. But God has the power to deliver us and Abraham stands as a witness on how to believe God in the midst of our life situations.
 
If you do not know the story of Abraham, I strongly suggest you learn about it from the bible, and let your faith build.
Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. – Romans 4:19-21

Many promises await you, if you are willing to take a deep honest appraisal of your life, change is possible over time when you put your trust in a Loving God , who stretched out his arms for you and said " It is Finished" .  Every single battle that you and I face, has a solution.  The bible tells us to let your YES be YES and your NO be NO. That is how we cut the cord from the yo-yo lifestyle and start living in harmony of His will for our life. Easy Never, however it is a process of constant communication with your creator.  Diligent obedience to die daily to your wants, your flesh, your human desires.  As Humans, starting in the Garden we are automatically programed to sin. It is our nature.  Jesus came so that we may have life.  Learn who you are, and what makes you tick, what is your motive, what is your motivation and find out your WHY?

The last point that I would like to share with you, is personal responsibility , we can't save our face and our reputation at the same time. You must get honest about all things , everything that you have ever done, or have had done to you, placing these things into there proper perspective will allow you to move forward In the healing light of God, and will allow you to find peace that passes all understanding. You will know longer feel like a yo yo up and down, and pushed around in a world of hurting people. Hurt people hurt people, Jesus saves. He conforms the hurting heart and repairs the broken and places them on Holy land. Set apart from the world, we are in the world but not of the world.  When we are willing to do the work, take one step and God will take two. 

Pray often : Dear God, I don't know what you want from me, but I am willing to learn if you show me.  I am tired of living in the yo yo and I want to live in you, safe, steady, constant, Joy, peace, love, understanding.  I know that your real, and I believe that you died for me.  I RECEIVE what you have to offer me and I am willing to do the work.  I am throwing in the towel of surrender and praising your loving name for the work that you are doing in and through me. When I am weak you are strong, your words never come back void.  If you prayed this prayer and you believe that he Is Alpha and Omega, then start walking and talking and acting like you believe, HE will do the rest. Open your hands and say YES Lord, here I am . I am signed , sealed and delivered in you. I am set apart and Holy.  Amen !

Write down your resentments
Share them with a friend or a pastor, or an accountability partner.
Release the shame and the pain of your past, forgive those who have harmed you.
Be kind and loving in all your affairs, take an honest appraisal of your life, WHY are you where you are, how did you get to this place.
Completely surrender and march forward to the prize.

Please be encouraged by this blog, this is a non- fail formula for those who work it. Work it your worth it.

Open Your Treasure Chest

                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 
For wherever your treasure is there will also be the desire or your heart !
 
Remembering back when I was a little girl, my parents would always take us to a pizza parlor in Chicago . We enjoyed a meal and when it was time to go they had a toy treasure chest, I was always so excited to reach in and pull out my treasure. I would play with the toys for a day or two and then they would break.
 
 
I loved playing with all my toys and having a good time with friends, we played and we played hard ! We had clubs and dress up days, backward sock days and sports were a must, softball, swimming you name it, Kick the can, tents made out of blankets hung over a clothes line. We all had things we treasured to do and loved doing.
 
Growing up and turning into an adult, I learned that things outside of myself would make me feel good and that I would not have to deal with emotions and feelings, I could hide behind things, behind sports, behind music, behind friendships that did not require honesty or integrity, almost like being a feather in the wind, blowing with the winds of change and never thinking to much about the consequences. Playing and being busy even as a child allowed me to hide from the great dysfunction that was surrounded in my home. The fighting and arguing that went on was horrible.
 
I remember seeing and hearing things that a little girl never should have experienced. I was constantly reaching for things in the world to take away the pain and the hurt from the things going on in our family life , I loved roller skating and every Friday night you could find me at Fireside roller rink, skating till I could not skate any longer.  I always wanted to be a part of a team a yearning for stability and organization in the life of a young girl that had none.
In school my academics were average until I reached high school and my parents divorced .
Once again another part of my life fell apart, even though the relationship they had was destructive and hateful , it was better to be in a broken home than to be in a split home. I ended up being a pawn between my parents.
 
Many things happened between the age of 13 and 21 before I had my first and only born child. A child that would end up going through his own difficulties because of choices made by a family he was born into.
I am wondering all this time who " Treasures " me ! Well My Daddy did, and he was the best man I ever knew in my life , yet at the early age of 21 Daddy died from a heart attack very quickly and I know longer had my protector my hero, my treasure, I was lost alone and scared, and now I had a 10month old baby as well , that I treasured.
Things got worse before they got better, I ended allowing my Mother and Step Father care for my son as I became lost in the world, lost in a distorted view of life and what life was about. Again I sought my hearts desires, and treasures in things and in man. Ending up experiencing things that a Young women had NO business experiencing , doing, or being involved in.  I searched for everything to find love, to find someone or something that would treasure me. A safe place .  I never found one, not for to long anyway, everything always ended in hurt, pain and negative consequences, the road traveled was long and painful.
Now all this time I had a concept of a God, however he was a God of Circumstance not a God of  omnipotent power, but I rescue God, one that would save me from trouble and give me another chance, during those times of seeking Him He would do for me, just about what I was willing to do for my self, Yet I know he kept me safe through the days of my insanity and he protected me in the trenches of my pain.
The journey was long and a hard won process, over and over again, I would start to re-build my life and re-commit - THIS TIME I got this, I will conform and change. NEVER happened for very long on my own power, I would rebuild and the flow of emotions would kick in, and life would become difficult and feelings would overwhelm me and low and behold , I was back , in the old ways of my human nature.
Years and years this pattern went on, till one day I woke up and I was 41 years old, tired, alone , spiritual broken. I learned how to pray years ago, and I believed years ago that something was watching over me and had me covered, I decided to start the Journey for the rest of my life, again, it did not just come because I made that decision, there was work to do and lots of it, restructuring of my heart, mind, body and soul. EVERYTHING HAD TO CHANGE. 
I made a move 1000 miles away to change, well, when I got there, guess who was there? Yep that is right ME- looking at me, now what ? Well , I moved to the bible belt of south Carolina, and met many people that, as a weekly part of life attended Church, and although I been in church on and off again, my whole life, it was different, I saw something they had that I wanted. I kept coming back. I started reading, the bible, I started praying, and although I continued in my ways for awhile longer. Finally one day in May of 2012 all my life experience's caught up with each other and I was standing on a road, called McRae St, In Camden South Carolina, completely Broken , the walking dead. I could not face another breath, I could not take another step, the only way out was down, down on both knees , crying out to this power above, take me, show me, I need you, I cant do it know more. I had to let go every treasure here on earth that I ever counted on, that allowed me to not feel the pain of life, I was running and I ran hard for over 40 years. Nothing ever work, until that day that I fell to the ground, It was a feeling of opening a Treasure Chest and inside was all good things, things that would love me, have faith in me, hold me, comfort me, I found Jesus that day, when I opened up that chest. Really what I did was release all the garbage I been caring for years, thinking in my own strength I could live a life and be happy, Not true with finding him , I would never be where I am at today.
Today I have a treasure chest of hope, love, patience, kindness, tolerance, peace, faith, endurance, integrity, I have found a Treasure that you can not reach out and physically touch, yet through nature and other people and the depths of the ocean, the blowing of the leaves, the running of the animals, you can see He is real and a living treasure, A God , who was , who is and who always will be.
I have written this today, because when I woke up, I was convinced that someone needs to know that know matter what you have done, know matter where you have been, that there is a Treasure box available at your feet, a spiritual tool kit, filled with lovely  and pure things for YOU. It is all YOURS. It is not free, you have paid your dues, to Open this box, A treasure chest of hope and light is waiting for you. Build with it, from what you find inside when you open it. YOU ARE THE TREASURE, release the locks and bondage that hold you down, A loyal and faithful Loving GOD awaits you. He will wash your sins away and cleanse you white as snow.
 
Nothing you can do or say will chase Him away, He has always been in your life, He is the Head of your life and if you let him in, He will guide you and deliver you !
Come to the well and drink from His living water and you will never thirst again.
If you have read this and you do not know Jesus.
Pray with me this simple prayer of salvation
 
Dear Lord
I know I am a sinner and have strayed from the calling you had for me, lord forgive me and please I open my heart to you today, I know now Lord that you sent your son Jesus for me, so that I may live, I believe that He died and rose again, so that I may be forgiven, I want to serve you and my fellow man, I want to walk in the light of your love, I want to treasure you Lord as you have always treasured me your child. Thank you Lord for doing for me , what I never could do for myself, I am your child and you are my Father. Thank you.
 
 
Congratulations you are NEW. The old you has just died. CELEBRATE your life will never be the same, Find a Church , Get a friend to talk to and open up, get rid of the weight and garbage that has filled your spirit and held you down, YOUR BONDAGE free, what you do from this moment on will never be the same, the spirit has come and will teach you. Allow this to happen, You will find your treasures in heaven and not in this world.
 
Thank you for reading .
Be blessed.
Welcome home to the family of believers , who believe in you.
May God restore you and show you mad love, We can love because he first loved us.
 
Now Go and be blessed , walk in faith and live in courage, a strength and treasure never found in things and people, he is your Friend.

Turning Points

Awaken

Have you ever struggled with despair and discouragement?

Then suddenly like a wave emotions start to overwhelm you and consume your soul!

We have all been in a place that was dark and lonely.  Unable to see Jesus,  you have been fighting temptation.  Hundreds of distractions , fears, desires, ambitions, hurts, and stress can turn our heads and keep us from seeing Him.

Maybe you have been self-focused and self absorbed only to have God Graciously lead someone into your life who needs serving and caring .

Moments like those are turning points , powerful spiritual encounters where God opens spiritual eyes to see the glory of Jesus.  " We are in the presence of a victorious King !"
A king of the universe- even more , because of the Gospel- His Victories our OURS !

GOD can AWAKEN us, HE shines His light into our hearts to open our eyes to the supremacy of Christ Jesus.
When we encounter the risen Christ, we are assured of His love and commissioned for His kingdom

* Consider what in your life might be distracting you from knowing the presence of God in your life ?
* If God's presence is know when we put our hope in the gospel, what can WE do today to help us trust Jesus and believe the gospel promise?

2 Corinthians 4:6

King James Version
 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

C.S Lewis stated
" The scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited."

Walking in faith and trusting that God who sent his only Son to redeem all of us is a concept that is hard to understand.  When we study and let the words dwell richly within us , we are able to walk lighter, love often and live in righteousness doing the will of the Father, putting down selfishness and managing our time for the Lord.

He takes a broken and battered women the Samaritan women and forgives her, everything changed for her, because he believed and cared less what others thought of her belief, she ran to tell them all the truth.

We are all thirsty, for more. More is found in Him . He will satisfy your thirst and create a new heart with you , a Heart that endures great tribulation and adversity.  Yet because of who he is , and not Who we are, We are given the strength to Over come and march forward serving Him and others, The others are all the people God places on your path. Strangers, family, co-workers, everyone.  Everyone who we cross paths with was for a purpose, for a season, or for a reason.  When we are able to see with our spiritual eyes and listen with our spiritual ears, we will be able to approve what is His will, and discard , remove, bury, and destroy, because of our faith, all the things and darts that come to de-rail and destroy the path that He has you on.

Prayer for the Day:

Dear Lord, Glorious and gracious Father in Heaven, shine your loving light down on us, Correct us Lord, Where there is hatred, bring peace, where this is discontent, bring contentment, Lord, show us How to live and love like you. Lord bring Glory into our lives.  Show us your marvelous works and wonders, Teach us to open our eyes. Allow us to love one another as you love us, Forgive us our trespasses as we learn to forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.  Show us how to parch in the palm of your hand,  show us how to believe and trust that you are the alpha and the omega, that everything starts and ends with you and we are the disciples in-between that you will send to show the world love and grace. Shower us with wisdom, sharpen our minds and actions, for Your Glory, From Glory to Glory, bring us to your well so that we can drink and never thirst again, But be complete in you. Thank you glorious and beautiful Lord.  It is you who lives in me, setting my eyes on High, and my ears on Truth, only in truth and spirit can We serve and love you... Keep us safe from the devils snare and allow us to walk the path, It is in your loving name that we pray, Amen.


Please be blessed

Hold him to the engagement

 
 
 
 
 

                                            Proverbs 3

1    My son, do not forget my teaching,
                                                                                                   
    but keep my commands in your heart,
for they will prolong your life many years
    and bring you peace and prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
    bind them around your neck,
    write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
    in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
    and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
    and he will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
    fear the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body
    and nourishment to your bones.
Honor the Lord with your wealth,
    with the first fruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
    and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
    and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
    as a father the son he delights in.
13 Blessed are those who find wisdom,
    those who gain understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver
    and yields better returns than gold.
15 She is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
    in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are pleasant ways,
    and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her;
    those who hold her fast will be blessed.
19 By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations,
    by understanding he set the heavens in place;
20 by his knowledge the watery depths were divided,
    and the clouds let drop the dew.
21 My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
    preserve sound judgment and discretion;
22 they will be life for you,
    an ornament to grace your neck.
23 Then you will go on your way in safety,
    and your foot will not stumble.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Have no fear of sudden disaster
    or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,
26 for the Lord will be at your side
    and will keep your foot from being snared.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
    when it is in your power to act.
28 Do not say to your neighbor,
    “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”—
    when you already have it with you.
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
    who lives trustfully near you.
30 Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
    when they have done you no harm.
31 Do not envy the violent
    or choose any of their ways.
32 For the Lord detests the perverse
    but takes the upright into his confidence.
33 The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked,
    but he blesses the home of the righteous.
34 He mocks proud mockers
    but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.
35 The wise inherit honor,
    but fools get only shame .
 

God wants to give you as much as you can handle so that you can marvel at his works.

 
Have you ever felt like your walking alone ?
 
Do you have self-hatred and frustration ?
 
Do you know that you have Value ?
 

God wants to prosper you making you valuable to his word and his kingdom .

 
Do you feel as if your activities are useless and to no avail ?  Have you a trail of broken dreams and desires behind you ?
Let me tell you that you belong and that Christ wants you to find your Identity in Him .
 
We are all broken, leaving behind us strings of broken cords, Every single life is a response to his Grace, even in that broken state, " Repent " He loves you.
 
Proverbs 3 is a Good place to find refuge if your struggling with any area of your life.
 
HOLD HIM TO THE ENGAGEMENT !
 
He desires your full commitment !
 
 
                  
 
He is not a God of Later- But a God of the Here and NOW !
 
 
 
 
 

 

GOD IS A POWERFUL AND FAITHFUL GOD .
 He has a sound and truthful teaching that can be applied to daily life , walking and talking with him.
Listen to his voice and you will slow down that fast paced, struggle that was not yours to struggle with in the first place. The battle is already won. You are the Victor because he died for you .
 
 
His spirit Flows Through you, Learn his character and the only way to learn his character is to be still and silent, no distraction, no noise, Just you and Him, speak to Him, ask him to show himself to you?
Those who seek shall find and those who find shall prosper !
 

Matthew 6:20

New International Version (NIV)
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
 
The rat race that we all run is nothing more than a distraction, and a way to keep us from his calling. YOU were called for more, You are unique and have something to offer .
YOU ARE NOT WORTHLESS
YOU ARE NOT EMPTY
YOU ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT FLOWING THROUGH YOU
engrave it on your heart.
 
We are a society whose identity is lost and found in the world. Transformation is a hard task to achieve but with GOD it is possible. Are you caught ? Caught in the snare and the trap, the lie and the constant current of life, The way out is simple, Pray, then act like you prayed.  Be willing to change and follow simple direction.  JESUS teaches in parables and pictures, mysterious ways and wonders and signs. NEVER think that something is not of him when everything points to it.
 
The people you have in your life RIGHT NOW, Those are the gifts and the people GOD is USING to restore you , to teach you, to enhance your kingdom work, DON"T SHUN the people he has given you.
 
Do not fall in love with things, However do Fall deeply in love with God, His Son, and the people you have today in your life.
 
They are your ministry .
 
GOD ATTRIBUTES VALUE TO YOU
 
When others see you, show them the " VALUE IN CHRIST JESUS "
Finish what you start, be faithful and be of good charity.
 
Help others, help the helpless.
 
Love the unlovable and show them the way..
 
My Prayer is that in reading this you have been touched, knowing that your identity is not in the world and its things, but in HIM and his grace. Your life is a response to his Grace.
 
How to you wear the Robe of Grace..
