God’s Word & Morning Rays of Sunshine

Gods Glory, Gods Word, Love, Truth

Every word of God is pure; he is a shield to those who put their trust in him.

~Proverbs 30:5.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;

The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;

The Commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;

The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold…

In keeping them there is great reward.

~Psalm 19:7-11

During the work week, I always make it a point to read God’s word and have prayer time with him before I leave home each day. and because I  leave so early in the morning it’s always dark outside as I study God’s word. But on those Saturday mornings when I have nothing on my schedule I can hardly wait to get up before the sun, grab my favorite devotional or two, my Bible and of course some tissue along with my coffee. I start to read and pray asking God to open my eyes to what he would have me take with me throughout the day. His Word, His infallible Word that strengthens and sustains.

So, as I was reading, the Sun started to rise, coming through my front picture window…oh how I love to enjoy these moments.  I was reading from Come Before Winter by Charles Swindoll and the devotional was concerning  the infallibility of the Word of God.  The scripture used came from Psalm 119:89-96.  I went on to read through verse 171.  As I read, the sun was continuing to rise, the Word of God was, as usual touching my heart as I read through this beautiful Psalm all about the truth of God’s Word. Then all of a sudden there was a ray of sunshine that came through my front window and pointed directly at my heart!  How beautiful that ray of sunshine felt. It was like the hand of God reaching out and shining right into my heart!

Rays of God’s Love

 

“Consider how I love your precepts;

Revive me, O LORD, according to your loving-kindness.

The entirety of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever.”

~Psalm 119:159:160

While we live on this Earth, which most of the time seems so out of control and ever evil is lurking all around, I’m so thankful for God’s Word!  The Proverb above tells me that He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. I know I need His shield to protect me today and as the Psalm above states,”The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.”  God’s word reminds me today that His truthfulness, His perfectness does indeed change hearts.  I pray today, many would come to the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ! I am comforted by His Word this morning, while His sun shines upon me, knowing that through all the chaos of this world, He is still changing hearts by His Word.  He is still in control and through Jesus, He is changing hearts, and He is busy changing lives. Freeing those bound by fear, anxieties, doubts, and feelings of being unloved and unworthy into hearts that are loosed! Hearts that can live in the light of Jesus, brought out of darkness, lies, shame and guilt.  Only Jesus can change your heart and give you new life and then an eternal life in Heaven with Him. Won’t you choose Jesus today? Won’t you choose a clean slate? A do-over of life? A life freed from sin? Do it today! Accept God’s free gift of Grace and Mercy. After all, His Word is truth and it reminds us He gave His only Son for you!  Jesus has paid your sin debt, He paid the price we can never pay ourselves and He did it long before you were born. That’s just how much God loves YOU!

If through this post, God is touching your heart and calling you to Him, I have a prayer here you can speak to Him.  Don’t put off His touch any longer. Heed to His precious calling.

Sharing Your Heart

Amazing, Gods Glory, Love

 

Many times while scrolling through my Facebook page, I get the opportunity to read beautiful testimonies written by my friends about the love of Jesus and how He is speaking to their hearts.  So today I want to share Brittany’s morning testimony.  I know you will be as blessed as I was!

“I woke up this morning with something on my heart that I want to share. So many times in our lives we feel alone, abandoned, left out or the one that nobody wants. I want to encourage you this morning and remind you that you’re not alone. Jesus said I will never leave you nor forsake you, but I will be with you even till the end of the world. You’re not abandoned ever since you were born, God has been there even though sometimes we can’t feel him or see him he’s been there encouraging you and helping you not to give up.  You’re not the one that nobody wants. Jesus wants you if it wasn’t true he wouldn’t have died on the cross for you. He died for us all so that we could be forgiven of our sins and live with him forever. Jesus knew that he had to die for us but what love he had when he did it.  I don’t know of anyone who would be willing to lay down their life for this entire world but Jesus did and he was the only one that could do it because he was the perfect sacrifice.  I said all that to say this you are loved, important, never abandoned, never alone, never rejected, never the throw away child and YOU MATTER!!”

Thank you Brittany for sharing Jesus’ love.  We know that once you have Christ in your heart, you are never alone!

An Ominous Sign

An Ominous Sign

After the Supreme Court decides not to hear a challenge to a law that forces pharmacies to dispense Plan B, Justice Samuel Alito warns of ‘ominous sign.’

Choices, freedom and common sense.

My cell phone provider tells me it is their policy that if I purchase a 7G data plan and go over the allotted amount purchased, I will be charged extra.  I actually understand this.  Plain and simple.  If I go over the 7Gs, I will have to pay the extra costs.  I do not file a lawsuit or stir up controversy because I did not adhere to the phone provider’s policy.  If I don’t agree with the cell provider’s policy then I simply find another cell provider to meet my needs.

My employer tells me it is their policy that I can have two paid vacation days dependent on the  amount of hours I work.  I understand this.  Plain and simple.  If I take a third day and I don’t get paid, I suffer the consequences.  I do not file a lawsuit against my employer because the employer has set rules ahead of time.  If I don’t like their rules or I don’t want to comply, then I simply find another job.

One time a few years back I had the flu with a very bad cough.  No over-the-counter medications or cough syrups were easing my cough.  I spoke with my physician and he called in a prescription to my favorite drug store.  I then drive over to my favorite pharmacy and the pharmacist tells me, “I do not have this medicine in stock, but I have faxed your script over to another store”.  Now I did not want to drive to another store, but I did because my cough was so terrible.  Upon arrival at the next pharmacy I was told the very same thing.  They too did not have this medicine in stock.  When I complained that this was my 2nd stop the lady behind the counter very nicely offered to make a few phone calls for me.  In fact, she did find the medicine, but I would have to drive clear across town.  Now by this time I am a bit aggravated!  But….because I want to get some sleep, I go over to yet another pharmacy.  No use to file a lawsuit because my favorite pharmacy did not have the medicine in stock.  No use to make a fuss.  No use to ask why neither pharmacy did not have the medicine in stock.

I am not trying make light of this situation and by all means if a life is in danger….oops, I believe I need to step back.  Of course a life is in danger!  If a pharmacy sells the “morning after” pill , a life….a precious life would be gone.  As you can tell by this statement I am pro life.  That is my choice and I am grateful to live in a country where I can make my own choices.  The owners of the pharmacy in the article above are also pro life. This is their choice and it is their store and freedom to carry what products they want to sell.  Maybe they don’t like Coca-Cola products. Maybe they only sell Pepsi products.  If I want a Coke, I have to go to the pharmacy or grocery store across the street. It’s that simple.  According to the article, court documents stated the pharmacist referred the person who needed this pill to another pharmacy and it just happens that there are 30 other pharmacies within the surrounding area.  But instead of the customer just getting in their car and driving to the other store, they decided to find out “why” this pharmacy did not carry the morning after pill.  When the customer(s) found out it was against the family owned store’s belief to carry the morning after pill, the customer took recourse against the pharmacy.  Because the customer could not purchase what he/she wanted when they wanted it.  Their actions could cause this family to lose it’s license which is providing the community with a service that others enjoy.  Maybe it’s their favorite pharmacy!

Now, I do not believe a matter like this should have to make it all the way to the Supreme Court, but to see the Justices not take a case after hearing the facts??? Where has common sense gone?

So, to stay true to my website – “My Lesson of Love” is that we will all continue to pray for our country and our leaders, especially the Supreme Court Justices.  These judges are unlike the President and can serve terms as long as 30 years or even more.  Let’s continue to pray for our fellow citizens of this wondrous land.  Let’s pray others would try to live out the golden rule.  Let’s love one another.  And especially pray for women who would seek to take or even need the morning after pill.

As I listened to Steve Noble of Called to Action Radio on my way home today, like many other days when I listen to the news…I am saddened.  I am not one to debate or argue with anyone because honestly, I love everyone one and I want us to all get along.  It just breaks my heart because our nation seems more and more divided everyday.  I love the USA and I will continue to stand for what our country was founded on.  I believe in our pledge to this country and if we don’t stand united, we will surely fall.  Steve Noble said it best, “if you want freedoms you must believe in all freedoms”.
