What About Them, God??!!

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness1 Comment

Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Love your neighbor as you would love yourself. That has been the cornerstone of the Christian faith and many other faiths as well. As Christians, it is about sharing the love and character of God with others.

Why do we share the Love of God? Sometimes, we are the only contacts others will have with Jesus. People may not go to church, and they may have lost faith in God.

A simple smile, a kind gesture, a kind word, can all change a person’s life.

But what if it your kindness isn’t received? What if people are mean and unkind, even when you show kindness?

Why do we have to be accountable for our actions as Christians?

The reason is that Love is an ACTION word.

No matter what love faces, the response will always be More love. Love never fails. Even when it doesn’t feel like it, Love plants a seed in the heart’s of those It meets.

No matter who we meet or see each day, please know that every encounter is a Holy encounter. We are accountable for our love, even when it comes to loving ourselves.

Holy Scriptures

Matthew 5:1-12

New International Version

Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount

5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.

The Beatitudes

He said:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Family, I know showing and sharing love will not always be easy, but what a reward when we get to see Jesus face to face and we are asked, “Did you love others as I instructed and demonstrated for you while I was here on earth?”

What will our answer be??

P.U.S.H.

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Good morning, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, have you ever heard the acronym P.U.S.H. which stands for Pray Until Something Happens? I know you may think I’m crazy but I think the acronym is so funny. Not “funny” as in comical but funny as in, if we were to pray the way Jesus taught us to pray, there really wouldn’t be a  need to P.U.S.H.

When the disciples of Jesus asked him how to pray, this was his answer:

Matthew 6:6-14

New International Version

6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Family, have you ever been around a complete stranger, but something about them was drawing you to them? Then come to find out you are both two people that have a close relationship with the Lord.

Do you know “what” caused the attraction to each other? Well, I will tell you. You and the stranger were each vibrating at the same frequency.

Heaven has a vibration and a frequency. As we spend more and more time with God and being in Jehovah’s presence, we begin to match the frequency and vibration of heaven. We are carrying the fragrance of Heaven.

Heavenly Worship

Family, when you are in your secret prayer place, play this song or any worship song that ushers you into a deep worship. In that moment, pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then, leave your prayer at the altar and have faith that it is already done, according to the Lord’s will and the will of Heaven.

I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior, and Risen Redeemer!!!!

Your sister,
