Are You Drying Up And Thirsty?

I always try to be aware of windows to my soul in my everyday life. Every time I have driven up to my favorite Chick-Fil-a I have noticed lately the scarcity of petunias blooms on one side of the parking lot while on the other side there is a huge colorful abundance of petunias! What a contrast between the very same petunias that were planted in the spring. Whatever caused that vast difference I would often ponder? Perhaps a lack of water? They were both planted at the same time in the same soil with the same amount of sunshine.

Wow! What a picture of a dry thirsty soul trying to survive spiritually without the watering of the Word. Have you ever felt that you had been planted in the True Vine but when the heat of trials dried up your roots you just wilted with your life bearing sparse beauty for the Kingdom? I know I’ve been there. I write about that experience and my victory in my book “DEVELOPING A SECRET HISTORY WITH GOD”. 

That sparse photo is a picture of my spiritual life a few years ago when deep emotional wounds and serious illnesses almost took me out BUT after publishing my story of victory over those battles, God has taken me in the last few years to London, France, Italy, Russia and India to bloom abundantly again for His Kingdom.

May my story encourage your life to bloom abundantly in the garden of your destiny!

John 7:37 If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

John 6:63 The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

As you know I always love to wear fashionable hats but this hat is not one you wiIl see me wear too often, although it is fun! The English poet, William Cowper coined it better when he wrote “Variety’s the very spice of life, That gives it all its flavour.’

A heart of integrity

integrity

Dear Child,

A heart of integrity will lead you to a life of righteousness. Let your ‘nay’ be ‘nay’ and your ‘yea’ be ‘yea’. Do not be doubled minded.

A heart of integrity will lead you to trust yourself and you will have peace within.

A heart of integrity will not act in haste because you know your heart will hold you accountable.

A heart of integrity will have a conscience clear before God and man, and will thus hear My voice clearly.

                                                        Thus saith Papa

Proverbs 11:3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them:

Psalm 15:1- 4 A psalm of David. LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, WHO KEEPS HIS OATH EVEN WHEN IT HURTS.

Whatever the nature of the contract, when the word of a Christian has been given, the promise must be honored. Because God keeps His word we have salvation; He is true to His pledge. The Gibeonites craftily deceived Joshua, and he made peace with them before discovering their plot (Joshua 9:19). Nevertheless, God insisted that the terms of the covenant be honored, and generations later withheld rain because King Saul went back on that undertaking. God will not permit us to carelessly destroy a covenant. He who insisted that Joshua should spare the Gideonites, and later that King David should avenge the wrong done to them, expects us to be true to our word, even if it be to our own disadvantage

Integrity means “a quality or state of being complete or undivided”

When our lips say “yes” in haste, yet our hearts are saying “no” we have become a divided person! To have a heart of integrity we must say what we mean and mean what we say!

Challenge: Always count the cost before making any promise, because God will hold us accountable to keep our word whether it was made wisely or unwisely, whether it will be to our advantage or disadvantage. 

Will Your Life Glorify Him Today?

Dear Child,

Shine! Shine! That I may be glorified on earth as I am in heaven. May your love for Me be your motivation to obey Me and thus honor Me in your life, body, soul and spirit.

You honor Me when you reverence My word,

You reverence My word when you are obedient,

When you obey My word your light will shine,

When your light shines I am glorified.

PRIDE makes you susceptible to deception whereas HUMILITY is your protection against deception.
