John 14:27

New International Version (NIV)

²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

There is an unshakable  peace that dwells in those that trust God. It is a peace where no matter the circumstances, a person’s heart is secure because their hope and trust is in God.

My prayer for us today:

“Allow our hearts to rest and abide in the Greatness of who You are, God. May our feet be surely footed on the Power and Majesty of your name.”

Love, your servant,

Rev. Marcia Davis

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

¹⁶ Rejoice always, ¹⁷ pray without ceasing, ¹⁸ in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

The season of Thanksgiving is upon us.  We have become accustomed to having a meal with friends and family, getting full and relaxing, while others gear up to prepare for the shopping frenzy called ..Black Friday.

Is this TRULY what being Thankful is all about?

I challenge us all to make every day, every minute and every hour a reason to say, “Thank You”.

We aren’t saying, “Thank You” because we have acquired material things. We say, “Thank You” because we have breath in our bodies, a beat in our heart, and hope for another day.

Most of us have more than enough. Find a way, every day, to be a blessing to someone else.

I love you and I give Thanks for you.

Rev. Marcia Davis

Love is a healer.

We have heard the scripture passage in 1St Corinthians 13 that  Love is patient and love is kind. So many times we attribute that passage to  married couples or how we should live our lives toward others. All of those things are completely true and correct.

However, the person who misses out the most on that passage of scripture is US as individuals. We are so busy loving everyone else that we forget to love OURSELVES.

As we are coming up on this holiday season and almost at the start of a new year. I want to personally challenge you to love yourself.

No, it’s not selfish…

No, it’s not rude….

Take time to be Gentle with yourself.

Make time to show yourself some Tender Loving Care.

From my heart to yours,

Rev. Marcia Davis

In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Proverbs 3:6.

Trusting, someone or something,  can be one of the most difficult and challenging things for us to do.

Trust takes faith, courage, commitment and dedication. I have learned, above all else, that I can trust Divine Love. I can trust God.

It wasn’t always that way. It was hard trusting God through my experiences of hurt, pain, disappointment and fear of the unknown.

Divine Love has proven Itself over and over again. I can now Boldly sing the old gospel hymn, ” I Will Trust in the Lord”.

Be blessed today and know that God will lead you in love, for His Glory and for your good.

I love you with an amazing Love,

Rev. Marcia

One of my favorite hymns is the song, “It Is Well With My Soul”. The lyrics of the first verse are:

John 14:27

²⁷ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

 

Imagine your hand on a doorknob. You are unsure of what is waiting on the other side. Do you stay in the same familiar place, or open the door?

Questions to ask:

1. How does my heart feel at this moment?

2. Do I have a peace that something Greater is guiding me?

3. Is Love my motivation, or am I running from something?

Before any of us opens the door, we need to take a deep breath and gently say, “Love  lead me in the sacred way and help me to stay on the Path.”

At that point only YOU will receive the answer.

I honor you for asking the question.

I love you with an AMAZING Love,

Rev. Marcia

You will be able to tell, as you travel through this website, that I am very, very new to blogging. Be patient with me as I learn and share. Understand that I am very eager to learn, share, and grow with you.

I welcome you to the Path and I wish you Love, Grace, and Mercy.

Rev. Marcia

Why give thanks?

We give thanks as sign of acknowledgment to every energy and every situation we may encounter.

Whether it’s a flower, the sun, a rain drop, a person, bad traffic, or a a deep breath. We give honor to the moment. We thank it for allowing us to grow, whether willingly or unwillingly.

Every encounter and every situation is used by Love to make us better, if we are willing to say, “Thank You.”

So today, I say, “Thank You,” for stopping by and taking the time to sit with me and be present in this amazing moment.

I love you with an amazing Love,

Rev. Marcia
