Jesus crushed Satan under His feet.  So when we go through things that the enemy throws our way, put him under your feet with the authority that is yours through Christ Jesus!  Remember:  Jesus is for you, not against you.  And no weapon formed against you will prosper in any form or fashion, for greater is He that is in you, than he who is in the world. Amen and Amen!!!

How do you enjoy Valentine’s Day when most of your adult life, you have been told that it is just another day.  And then when your loved one gives you flowers, chocolate and a card, they tell you that they were forced to get it for you. ugh!  Where’s the love, I mean the real, true love that comes from the heart of God through the one in your life? Only our Lord and God can love us unconditionally, and without measure… because He is our True Love <3

Only our Lord and God can love us unconditionally, and without measure… because He is our True Love <3

This story is from a woman I met several years ago.  I hope this will encourage women who have experienced what she experienced including the loving grace of God. &lt;3 His name would have probably been Isaac, and his brother, possibly Jacob, and their youngest sister, Rachel.  Some women have one abortion, maybe two, but three is unheard of.  And yet, she had three of them.  Each decision was faced alone.  No one was there to support her, help her or encourage her.  Words like disappointed, how could you, what were you thinking, I’m not ready to be a Dad kept going around and around in her mind.  But with each decision, her heart was breaking.  It went against what she believed, however, she couldn’t even go to the one place that could’ve prayed for her, helped her, or would have been there for her.  She couldn’t even go to her Pastors. Why?  Because she grew up in Church, and girls who go to Church don’t get pregnant.  She had lost her way.  And there was no one left in her life that understood her. Once these decisions were done she hid herself in booze, drugs, and me… trying to hide her hurt, her pain, her shame, for those decisions she made; trying to hide in the darkness that consumed her, because she couldn&#8217;t see the light that would save her from her own guilt-ridden destruction. She wondered if her aborted children would forgive her, would her children love her, would God forgive her, did He love her, could she even forgive herself.  She wondered how they would look like, what they would do with their life, how they would impact others in their life.  She envisioned the colors of their hair, their eyes, and the passion in their hearts.  Would they be teachers, musicians or dancers; would they be doctors, humanitarians, or in the military?  Would they love life, love people, or love animals?  What would their aspirations be, what would their struggles be?  Would they know that Mom and Dad would always be there for them, and love them? Well, her life would go on, she would marry one day and have children, be a soccer mom, and do all the things that moms are capable of doing for their family, but every now and then, she remembers, and thinks about them.  Hoping that the day she goes to Heaven, that they will be there with open arms waiting to hug her, greet her, love her, in spite of the decisions she made to stop God’s life plan for them. You see, God’s word says that He watches us as we are formed in our mother’s womb.  That for each life, there is a plan that He has created before the foundation of time.  But when we decide to stop that plan, we forfeit their presence in this world to be loved, to know love, to be and become who God destined for them to be.  We eliminate the opportunity for them to fulfill that life plan created just for them. In time she finally learned how to forgive herself with the grace of God, and she even surrendered her self and allowed God to forgive her.  Now, as she lives according to God&#8217;s plan for her life, she patiently waits for the day when she heads home to Heaven, to see her children.  She longs for the day when her children will say:  We love you Mom, and we forgive you.

We look at the chaos, and we say: Why God? We look at the disasters, and say: What did we do wrong? We look at the wars, pestilence, famines and more, and we say: Why has God abandoned us?

We look at the chaos, and we say: Why God?

We look at the disasters, and say: What did we do wrong?

We look at the wars, pestilence, famines and more, and we say: Why has God abandoned us?

God really didn’t abandon us, we abandoned Him…

When will we step up and own it?  

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version (KJV)

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

Would you lay down your life, your dreams, your heart for another who is in need, who is desperate, who is lonely, feeling abandoned?  Would you give a meal for the hungry?  would you give your jacket for one who is cold?  Would you share Jesus with the lost, forlorn and hurting?   Would you? Shall you? Will you? Yes, my Lord&#8230; I would, I shall, I will&#8230;. because I LOVE YOU!!!

We can get so irritated, aggravated, down right annoyed with the behavior and attitudes of others.  And yet, I wonder&#8230; could it be, that God uses them to check our hearts, so that there is only Him, and not the world, or self, or the enemy within. Just like David, let our prayer be: Examine us, re-examine us, cross examine us&#8230; and check our hearts Lord, for we truly are a work of Your love in progress.

Rend My Heart

Rend my heart Lord, don’t leave me this way

Take the coals from Your holy fire, and purge me deep today

Through this purging, this purifying, draw me deeper into Your love

Into Your heart, where all that really matters is You and me

Keep me in the beauty of Your holiness, in the mercy of Your grace

Let no one touch my heart the way You do

Let no one ignite my desires the way You long to

For Your love is the only love that truly stirs me

Fills me, overwhelms me, keeps me, where You desire me to be

Safe in Your love, safe in Your heart, safe in you.

“He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty…He is my Rock, my Fortress, my safe Refuge”  Psalm 91:1

When my Jesus walked from town to town

From valley to valley, from here to there

When my Jesus walked, He brought us God’s love

So why aren’t we walking like Him?

 

When my Jesus spoke, to the crowds and the men

To the women and Pharisees

When my Jesus spoke, He brought us God’s truth

So why aren’t we speaking like Him?

 

When my Jesus loved, He loved everyone

He loved you, and yes, He loved me

When my Jesus loved, His love was for all

So why aren’t we loving like Him?

 

As my Jesus lives, He lives for the one

He lives for the all, you see

As my Jesus lives, He lives and He loves

So why aren’t we living like Him?

 

So why aren’t we loving like Him?

 

So tell me Church,

Why aren’t we truly like Him?
