Content – Contented – Contentment

Been thinking a lot about contentment lately. And, interrelated words, including contention, the opposite of contentment.

I implore a greater understanding and mindset of contentment.

“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. Proverbs 17:22

BE Cheerful. In the midst of any circumstance, as much as is possible.

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Gratitude and Satisfaction with where you are in the here and now, is the present.

“All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.”
Proverbs 15:15

Abundance flows out of a cheerful heart.

“A heart at peace gives LIFE to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Proverbs 14:30

So please, consider this, above all else, GUARD YOUR HEART. [...]

Perfect Character, Perfect Bliss

“These seven descriptions make up a perfect character, and the seven blessings appended when combined constitute perfect bliss.”

“The whole seven rise one above another like the steps of a ladder of light, and the blessings appropriate to each grow out of the virtues described.”

“At the close of the seven BEatitudes of character comes an eighth and double benediction bestowed on the persecuted condition as a result of holiness. The whole makeup a celestial octave of benediction.”
– C. H. Spurgeon

I love the richness and depth of Spurgeon’s writings!

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount was one of Jesus’ first teachings to the masses. In Matthew 5…Blessed are the poor in spirit; for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. (The first step of the ladder is low, and the more readily reached. Those who know their spiritual poverty are the only ones who by faith can lay hold on the true riches of grace.)

Blessed are they that mourn: for they will be comforted. (To their sense of need is now added holy sorrow for sin; this leads them to Jesus, [...]

    God ISN’T Buddha, or a genie in a bottle, a magician or the fairy god mother…

God ISN’T Buddha, or a genie in a bottle, a magician or the fairy god mother…

How much do we beckon God to help and rescue us wanting Him to wave a magic wand or pop out of a genie’s bottle to help us in our time of need?

Don’t get me wrong God wants good for our lives. GOD is a relational and real person of the divine trinity – HOLY SPIRIT – revealer of truth, FATHER GOD, and JESUS CHRIST.

I realize this may be a difficult concept to grasp.

GOD wants a close loving relationship with His CREATION. YOU are His DIVINE CREATION created in His image. (Genesis 1)

His HEART is good towards YOU!

JESUS said the greatest commandment is to LOVE The Lord your God with ALL your heart, mind, soul and strength, and your neighbor as yourself.

YOU as God’s created being have His DNA, we are born that way. In HIS IMAGE!. It is His perfect will for our lives to reflect His image in the world. Walking in communion WITH HIM. Looking to Him, seeking Him for answers, not the world and it’s man made systems, customs and behaviors that have thrown the universe out of sync from the divine intent.

I PRAY for you to grow in deeper understanding so that you can be reconciled to the one who CREATED YOU FOR LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP.

Peace be with you.

The labels this world tries to put on yo

The labels this world tries to put on you just put you in a box that you were never meant to fit into…so limiting!

You were created for something very unique, beautiful, pure, righteous, joy filled and loving….you were created in the Image of God for good works. http://ow.ly/i/2kjMM

Be the Change…

I think we’ve all heard “Be The Change You Want To See In The World” by Ghandi.  It kind of goes along the lines of “treat others the way you want to be treated yourself,” also known as the Golden Rule.  That is of course the way we should live. I think the world would be a more loving and kind place if this was truly how we lived.

I would like to suggest a change in the original Be The Change quote by Ghandi.  How about…
“BE THE CHANGE GOD WANTS TO SEE IN THE WORLD”
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all of my 51 years of life, God wants the best for us. He has the answers to all the problems we face if we would only ask Him, seek Him, write down and act on the instructions He gives us.

The other way to know more about what God wants to see in the world is through reading the scriptures. Reading the Gospels, the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Learning about the things God hates, the things we are warned about for our own protection. Reading Proverbs is quite insightful and great in gathering wisdom for living.

It’s sad when I hear how some people hate the scriptures, the Word of God. If they only knew how much God really LOVES them and wants the best for them. Perhaps they’ve never really read them and opened their heart to Holy Spirit inspired word of God.

Perhaps if more of us became the change God wants to see in the world we would all see the changes we need to see in the world.  Through the power, wisdom and truth of the [...]

March is hear! It’s almost Spring! I’v

March is hear!
It’s almost Spring!

Been sharing about LOVE last month, let everything be done in LOVE. Love God, Love Others, Love self…Let His LOVE flow through you…being filled with God’s LOVE gives us the power and grace to lay down our lives for the sake of others so that they might know Him and be redeemed by His LOVE, Forgiveness and transformational power <3

In March, I want to dig deep into the soul of our Identity & Purpose. Being made in the Image of God…we were created to LOVE…sin messed that up, and Jesus came to our rescue to redeem and restore us back to our original garden self…God's ways are so amazingly out of this world. So by all means, LOVE GOD, not this world.
