Wash Rinse Repeat





From the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul, I will say ‘Yes, Lord!’  Keep your head up and keep your heart open.  Everything that you do reflects what you have inside of you so the Holy Spirit close to you so that you can comfort and bless every situation that you are involved in.  God has given you a so seek to use it for His purpose!

Good day to you all!  Start the day off with a good thought and you will end the day with a good thing!

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer Romans 12:12

I must admit that I don’t pay too much attention to commercials advertising hair products.  I keep a clean shave most of the time so I don’t especially have a need for any shampoo’s or conditioners.  However, I was half sleep when a hair product commercial came on.  I don’t remember much about it, but what I do remember is the spokesperson was saying that she was having an issue with her hair before she used this particular product.  When she tried this product she had hope that it would work, and now after her success, she said she now has proof that it works.  She said, “I had hope, but now I have proof”.  I tell you that I woke up a little bit when I heard this because in my mind it told a story that was deeper than shampoo. At the risk of sounding cliché, that statement told my story in a nutshell.  You see, I started out with hope, but now I have proof.  I started out with the hope that God would save me, and prosper me, and now after all of this time, I have proof.  Sometimes people don’t believe your story so you have to show them proof. Sometime you won’t believe what happened yourself, so you have to give yourself proof.  Every time I look in the mirror, I offer myself irrefutable proof that miracles do sprout up from the seeds of hope that are planted.

Dear Reader, I want you to know that you don’t have to start out with a lot.  You just have to start out with some hope. I want to encourage you to take that hope and cover it with a little bit of faith.  Make sure that you let the faith set in real good.  Let your faith clean out all of your doubts.  The next step is to rinse in the blood of the Lamb.  When you follow these steps you will find that the hope that you started with has now turned into proof. You started out with the hope of finding a new job, you washed yourself over with faith, rinsed in the blood of Jesus, and now you have proof that God has all power in His hands.  You started out with the hope of getting out of debt, then you turned over your finances to an accountant who is the author and finisher of your faith, and now you have proof that God is a provider.  Dear Reader, I started out with the hope of reaching out to some people in an email, and the fact that you are reading message on this day, is proof that I was a part of His plan.  I tell you again that if you put your hopes, and your dreams in the hands of God almighty, you will have the proof that you need that God is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and you will have proof that He loves you!

You are beautiful, loved, and blessed

John Reed
