Sending out love and peace to you all. I pray the God of mercy and grace would rush to your side, each time you call upon Him.
Psalm 18:1-10
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 18
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1 I love you, Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the hornc]”>[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies. 4 The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. 5 The cords of the grave coiled around me;the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called to the Lord;I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains shook;they trembled because he was angry.
8 Smoke rose from his nostrils;consuming fire came from his mouth,burning coals blazed out of it.
9 He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind
Have a great weekend, family. I love you with the amazing and everlasting love of the Lord.
Now, go in peace, while joyfully serving the Lord. Amen.
I hope you are all in a place of peace and internal joy, in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
New International Version (NIV)
16 Rejoice always,17 pray continually,18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
I am so grateful for every time I am allowed the opportunity to meet new people and have new experiences.
Every day, each of us will pass by, speak with, or have an encounter with someone. My personal rule for my life, as a Christian and a human being, is to make sure that my response, words or actions has made the encounter a positive experience.
Standing in line in a grocery store. Do I kindly talk to the person in front of me and within minutes we are laughing and smiling, or do I grumble about how long the wait is currently? Which response would bear “good fruit” in that moment?
I’m a Southerner, I say hello to everyone. However, depending on where a person is from, they may or may not respond back to me. Their response to my joy will not stop me from saying hello to thirty more people. My responsibility is to share love through my daily living. My prayer is for their joy to increase, under grace and perfect conditions.
I encourage us all to maintain an energy and vibration of love, peace and joy.
I greet you with the amazing and everlasting love of the Lord. May your heart’s desire always be for more of God. Allow the Word of God to be your road map and the Spirit of God to be your guide.
Study the Word and allow it to penetrate every part of your mind, body and soul. It’s time to go deeper. You have swam on the shallow end long enough.
Dive…Dive…Dive!

2 Peter 1:1-11
New King James Version (NKJV)
Greeting the Faithful
1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Fruitful Growth in the Faith
5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Go in peace, while faithfully and joyfully serving the Lord.
Happy Friday and peace and blessings to you all. This week has been super busy for me. I’m excited that I was able to interact with some incredible people this week.
One important thing that I always remember, wherever I go, is that I am a Light carrier for God. My heart is that those around me would see the light, love and peace of God in my life. We are all God’s Ambassadors of Light.
Isaiah 60:1-3
Living Bible (TLB)
60 Arise, my people! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is streaming from you. 2 Darkness as black as night shall cover all the peoples of the earth, but the glory of the Lord will shine from you. 3 All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see the glory of the Lord upon you.
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I greet you with love and joy this morning. Today is brand new day. A day to rejoice. A day to be thankful. A day to be grateful. A day to show love. A day to show peace. Today is a day to be mighty and powerful in the Holy Spirit of God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
New International Version (NIV)
Praise to the God of All Comfort
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ,so also our comfort abounds through Christ.6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings,so also you share in our comfort.
Family, we have the wonder working power of the Holy Spirit surging through us. Call on the Spirit of God to lead, guide and direct your every step. I will be continually praying and rejoicing for your journey. Each step of your journey is both sacred and divine.
I love you, with the amazing and everlasting love of the Lord. Go in peace, while serving the Lord.
Father, God, we bless your name this morning. With our hands lifted up, we give you praise, honor and glory. We Thank You, Lord, for your abundant and everlasting love.
Father, we pray that our love and caring for others will not stop after this week of Thanksgiving is over, but may it continue in our hearts and in our lives.
May every day and every circumstance be a reason to give thanks and praise to You, Lord.
May our lives be daily Thanks Offerings to you. In the mighty and matchless name of your Son and our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

This is the week that most of our nation is unified in giving Thanks for the blessings in our lives. I am most Thankful for my eternal life. I cant tell Jesus, “Thank You” enough.
Jesus taught us how to pray, through the Word of God. One of the things we are to pray for is Our Daily Bread. God is our portion and our supply. Jesus is called, “Bread of Heaven” because through Him we have eternal access to the true and living God. Jesus is our Manna from heaven. We should “feed” on Him daily.
John 6:27-34
The Message (MSG)
The Bread of Life
27 “Don’t waste your energy striving for perishable food like that. Work for the food that sticks with you, food that nourishes your lasting life, food the Son of Man provides. He and what he does are guaranteed by God the Father to last.”
28 To that they said, “Well, what do we do then to get in on God’s works?”
29 Jesus said, “Throw your lot in with the One that God has sent. That kind of a commitment gets you in on God’s works.”
30-31 They waffled: “Why don’t you give us a clue about who you are, just a hint of what’s going on? When we see what’s up, we’ll commit ourselves. Show us what you can do. Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert. It says so in the Scriptures: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32-33 Jesus responded, “The real significance of that Scripture is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven but that my Father is right now offering you bread from heaven, the realbread. The Bread of God came down out of heaven and is giving life to the world.”
34 They jumped at that: “Master, give us this bread, now and forever!”
Be blessed, Family. Give Thanks today for our Savior and Redeemer, the Bread of Life, Jesus Christ.
