Hands-Off

 Proverbs 3:5-6 (NASB) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."       Can I just give ya'll some life backdrop on this verse? I didn't know that this would be the verse I literally would have to live by. I grew up not even knowing the context of what even a relationship with Jesus looked like.  When I started to live on my own, I thought the scripture stickers you buy from Hobby Lobby was a cute additive to my wall for decoration. Ironically, the one that I had purchased was Proverbs 3:5. I would  literally take pictures by it and everything, and did not even know God was trying to speak to me the whole time. I mean...the...whole...time.      Me and my husband had moved from San Angelo, TX to San Antonio, TX with job prospects but no actual j.o.b. set in place. We just knew that the Lord was giving us a timeframe to move, and th...

Surrender

     Philippians 2:8-11 (NASB) "Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."     Honestly, I didn't know what to write about and was like, "Lord, you have anything you want to say?" Of course, I always go according to His leading, but it's getting to the point where I truly don't know until right before. Usually, I have a sense throughout the week, but that may even change. I am saying all of this in representation of my surrender and yielding to the Holy Spirit's guidance as an example.     I never want to give you something I'm not at least practicing and/or living ...

Love

 1 Corinthians 13:1-3,13(NASB) "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. ..but now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love."    Love is not a feeling but an action or actions. It is the will to keep treating others as you would want to be treated, regardless of what they do or say. It is the hardest thing to do when the connection to Jesus is far. I can love you easy when I'm tight with my Saviour; you might try to push it but I won't be tempted. However, if I barely know Him, I can't possibly know what true love looks like or even where to start.     The lov...

Are You Ready?

 Matthew 10:16-18, 22 (NASB): "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues; and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles...You will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved."  Are you ready? To serve Yeshua with your all Knowing at times, you will fall Are you ready? Are you ready? To actually give up Your life, your family, will Jesus be enough? Are you ready? Are you ready? To serve your neighbor To love them regardless, as our Saviour? Are you ready? Are you ready? To trust like Job Or will endless excuses be all you hold? Are you ready? Are you ready? To walk out your mandate To move forward, and not procrastinate Are you ready? Are you ready? To get in position To stand firm and know you've...
