Proverbs 27:2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth;a stranger, and not thine own lips. 

How true that self praise is no recommendation. Anything with SELF in it is of our old nature. The new man should not be chasing after praise or honor but rather genuine praise or honor should follow after him like a shadow.

Rather we should be following after and “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God”Hebrews 12:2

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 6-8

A HALF truth is a WHOLE lie!

Proverbs 24:28 Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause;

and deceive not with thy lips

Psalm 50:19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

Psalm 120:2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Recording a Spiritual Legacy

February 7, 2018 by Leave a Comment

As I record my quiet time with God I remember the Chinese proverb which states that “the palest ink lasts longer than the strongest memory”. These journals not only remind me of God’s directions, promises and warnings but they are also leaving a legacy of my spiritual journey for my children and an inspiration to others who may read them.
You can read many parts of these journals in “Developing a Secret History with God” to inspire you to invest time alone with God and build your faith to hear His voice as He quickens words to your heart that you may record them as a legacy for your family.

Give Yourself a Big Hug

February 6, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Dear Child,

All My creation was created for a purpose and to work in harmony and peace on the earth. You were also created to live in harmony and peace, that is why My word tells you, to live at peace with all men where possible. 

But most of all, live in harmony with your own being. May your body, soul and spirit be in harmony, that you might know peace! Be led by the spirit and you will know peace! When you have this harmony and peace in your own being, it will be easier to live at peace and in harmony with others. 

You cannot love others if you do not love yourself, 

You cannot have peace with others if you are not at peace with yourself.

You cannot forgive others if you can’t forgive yourself.

Be led by the spirit and you will like yourself and have peace and harmony within.

Where there is LOVE I am there!

Where there is PEACE I am there!

Where there is HARMONY I am there!

Where LOVE, PEACE and HARMONY are displayed, My presence is displayed.

Prepare your heart as a sanctuary by filling it with LOVE, PEACE and HARMONY.

Are you living at peace and harmony with yourself? And loving and accepting yourself, body, soul and spirit, as I love you? As love, peace and harmony are displayed in your life My presence will be displayed in your life.

                                                  Thus saith Papa.

If I live as a person of inner integrity, (doing that which I know to be right even when nobody is looking), I will be undivided as a person and have a sanctuary of love, peace and harmony within. But if I choose to ignore and silence my conscience, I could shipwreck my life, and have nothing within except strife, stress and bitterness. 

1Timothy 1: 9 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

1John 3:21  Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

CHALLENGE: –     Forgive yourself as He has forgiven you

                             Love yourself as He loves you

                             Let the peace of God rule in your heart

                             Live in harmony with your whole being

The Valentine card that changed Destiny

February 6, 2018 by Leave a Comment

A young 19 year old girl while serving in the Women’s Royal Air Force in England and based at R.A.F. Hereford, which was the School of Catering for the Royal Air Force, met her destiny. With a base of 7000 men and only 200 women she was never shy of a date but as yet had not met her Mr. Right. Every 6 weeks there would be a new class of potential chefs brought in for training. At a fall dance on the base she won a twisting contest and met one of those trainees who not only won the same contest for the guys but also won her heart. From that night they saw each other most evenings for the next few weeks until his training was over and he had to return to his base on the other side of England.

This is where our story takes a turn as she waits to meet her Knight in Shining Armor at the canteen on the base to say goodbye as he is leaving Hereford the next day. Much to her embarrassment he doesn’t show and stands her up for all their friends to see.They try to console her but her anger overcomes her hurt.

The next morning at breakfast she had to sit in a different dining room as she was permanent staff and he had to sit in the trainee’s dining room. He sees her as she gets up to leave but doesn’t have the courage to face the tearful hurt in her eyes. He lets her walk away to a life without him as he boards the bus to take him hundreds of miles away.

But as Providence would have it, it was Valentine weekend, and to her chagrin she had already mailed him a Valentine card which of course she could not retrieve. When he receives her card back at his base he decides to take the risk to write and try to explain. His excuse for standing her up was that he didn’t want to have to say goodbye. Now who would ever buy that reasoning? Well she did and they have been married now for fifty two years!

That Valentine day was 55 years ago and John and I are still thanking God every February 14th. for His providence in our lives through the card that saved the day and our destiny in each other’s lives.

Psalm 78:41 Don’t limit the Holy One of Israel

CHALLENGE: Never underestimate the Providence of God in your life!
