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??

You, Lord, Are Enough…

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Good morning, Precious Family:

I pray this letter finds you dwelling in the perfect Peace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The same peace that God spoke over a storm is the same peace that dwells in you, if you know how to receive it.

Today is Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Today is special because it signifies that God has given us one more chance to learn, grow, and teach about living a life on fire for God.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, I started writing a Facebook post. I know that my hands were moving across the keyboard, and words were showing up on the screen, but the words were inspired by the Holy Spirit. I was simply the vessel being used to relay the message.

Side note: As we pray in the Spirit, using our heavenly language, God will provide interpretation at the exact moment that we need it.

This is what I wrote

I am putting this out in the atmosphere, Universe, and heaven and earth…

I thank God for supplying ALL of my needs.

I thank God for supernatural blessings of health, wealth, intelligence, understanding, and the knowledge of how to implement new ideas.

I thank God I can be trusted with monetary blessings and resources.

I welcome increase in financial blessings and ideas on how to make it grow.

I thank God for allowing me a season in the wilderness.

I thank God for covering and forgiving my sins, both known and unknown.

Lord, You are ENOUGH!!!

Song of Worship and Adoration

Family, why did I feel led to write that post? Why did God choose to share those words on that particular day and at that particular time?

God’s timing is perfect. The post contained a message that I needed to hear as I came out of my wilderness season. It felt like my spirit was crying out all that I had learned and also what I wanted to learn more about.

No matter what the reason for the post, the message was still the same. God, you are my All and All. You, Lord, are enough. You supply all of my needs according to your riches in glory, as noted, by the Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians.

As I close my letter, I think about how abundantly blessed I am to have the opportunity to reach each of you. I pray that you will read it at the ordained time, in God. 

Your sister,
