The Valentine card that changed Destiny

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 years!

That Valentine day was 51 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!

Give Yourself a Big Hug

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

What is the Purpose of Prayer?

February 5, 2015 by Leave a Comment

I have often wondered why I needed to pray for something when according to the Word, He already knows before I ask, “be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him” (Matthew 6:8). Then I realized that I need to pray in order that I might be changed. Our prayer time is more about changing and maturing us than having our needs met.

This Book and accompanying Study Guide will revolutionize your quiet time with God. Available now at Amazon/ Barnes & Noble/ Walmart/Kindle Nook / Ibooks/ Lulu/ Rhema Publications/ Cl France or a bookstore near you.

Spring Cleaning Your Spiritual Closet

February 2, 2015 by 1 Comment

Unknown

Dear Father,

Help me that I may only be clothed with integrity and never in subtle pretense!

Show me, Papa, signs of danger least I fall!

Dear Child,

It is in relationships and your dealings and responses to others, you will see the signs, as the Holy Spirit, illuminates that which is not of My spirit, but of the flesh!

In our time alone you behold Me!

BUT

In your time with others you behold yourself!

It is in your interactions with others that you see clearly what you have learned while in My presence.

It is in interaction with others that your growth is tested

In My presence you stand naked

BUT

In the presence of others you may be clothed with “pretense”.

Do not fool yourself or try to fool others, be real, grow up and wear the character of integrity and authenticity.

Declutter your spiritual wardrobe that there may be room for the clothing of humility, grace, integrity and authenticity.

These are royal robes!

Moths and time cannot deteriorate these garments, but rather time matures them to shine even brighter!

Thus saith Papa

Rev 16:15  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us. 

Acts 27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

Spring cleaning your closet is not something someone else can do for you. Only you can make the decision on what to throw.

Only you know what is important to you. It’s a place to examine your lifestyle and threw away what is a waste, cluttering your life and robbing you of freedom.

Likewise in the spiritual realm it is something you must do alone. Only you can decide what to throw overboard. Only you know what is causing you to sink and pulling you down.

CHALLENGE: As the Lord shines His light into the hidden corners of our spiritual closets, let us do some spiritual spring cleaning by withdrawing and discarding our subtle masks, that we may be found clothed in the transparent “royal robes” that befit a saint.
