Love

It is a wonderful day to give God the praise!  It is a wonderful time to give thanks for the small miracles that happen every day!  God is smiling on you and is in control of your situation.  You are sitting on the edge of a miracle and you don’t even know it.  There is nothing that you cannot accomplish with God on your side!  Seek and ye shall find.

Good day to you all!  Keep your joy through all things, and you will shine as bright as the midnight star.

Every now and then I think about where I am and I smile.  I smile because where I am is a far cry from where I could be.  I stop and I thank God that I was delivered from situations that others did not make it out of.  I stop and I give Him the praise when I think of what could have gone wrong when I thought things were at their worst.  Yes, I smile when I look around and see where I am.  When I was facing being put out on the street, God stepped in and said “No”.  When my the people that I thought were friends lied on me and put me in harm’s way, God stepped in and said “No”.  Understand Dear Reader that when I stop and look at where I could be, where I am is not that bad.  My finances may not be what I want them to be, and I may not be as far along in my career as I want to be, but my praise is based on what God is doing, and what he is able to do. My praise is based on the fact that He promised me that He would be with me during the storms and that I am His child.

Dear Reader, I want you keep your mind and your heart focused on love.  I want you to think about the love that it took for someone to take the time to pray for you.  I could not have made it to where I am today without the prayers of others.  Someone is praying for you.  When you see a light in the darkness, someone is praying for you.  When you get a word right when you were thinking that silence was the only thing that that you could hear, someone is praying for you.  When you suddenly find strength when you thought that your weakness could not be overcome, someone is praying for you.  I am here to tell you that everything that I made it through in the first paragraph is because someone prayed for me.  So now I can be a witness in the second paragraph of the power of prayer.  Dear Reader you are loved.  Someone is taking the time out of their day and they are praying for you.  Take a moment and pray for someone, and take a moment and pray for yourself.  I know that sometimes it can be difficult, but God is able. You may not be aware, but someone right now is showing you love.  Dear Reader, someone is praying for you.

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
