Today God put this in my heart.
If I loved everyone....I would want everyone to know...
I would not be afraid of ridicule..
I would not be afraid of what man can do or say when they don't agree...
I would simply tell them...
Believe John 3:16...
Don't only say it....believe it with all your heart...for God knows our hearts.
God also put in my heart that by not sharing this at every single opportunity that I have, I am simply saying that I hate those that I do not take the time for....for they cannot be saved without believing.

I found out this afternoon, someone mad at me verbally attacked a friend of mine. This friend was so upset. My first thought was that the attacker was a dead woman. Anger flared up and for a hour or so I was upset too. Then I heard in my head, invite her to church, sit with her and pray tomorrow, tell her what I've learned so far about God. Just like that my anger was gone. My fear for my friend was eased. I'm looking forward to seeing this girl and showing her what God has worked in me. Before God I would have made things worse and the fight would be on. He showed me this is my chance to love Him by showing her love.
A second thing to be grateful for is that I stopped to offer a ride to someone this morning, I pulled away slow and hadn't gotten my foot down very far when I went around a curve and there was a cop there waiting for people speeding around that downhill curve. Had I not stopped to offer help, I would have passed that officer with my leadfoot engaged fully. I whispered a thank you prayer to God as I passed the patrol car.

For restoring my soul today and breathing new life into me
In spite of my enemies, Isaiah 54, said "indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of me, whoeverassembles against you shall fall for your sake"............"and no weapons formed against you shall be able to prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgement, you shall condemn, this is the heritage of the servants
of the Lord and their righteousness is from me says the Lord"
For all of my friends in Christ Jesus of Nazareth here on CD"
I Love you guys, will be away for a short time..
See ya when I get back..
In the meantime God Bless You all and your household according to Deuteronomy 28

I invited a lady to church today...and she accepted and told me that it was about time that I asked her to go with me....
This lady has worked with me for almost 3 years!....how could I have been so blind to not know that she was waiting for me to invite her!
I spend my days inviting those who come into the stores to church...I just didn't see what was right in front of me.
Thank you God for opening my eyes.

We needed a source of small Bibles to give away at the store. Saturday I offered a guy ice water while he was offering Bibles to the crowd. I felt urged to ask him for some for the store. Praise God, I was referred to the local guy in charge of distribution of these Bibles in this area. He said he will bring us as many as we can give away, in both English and Spanish. I'm learning day by day the more I reach out to help someone, the greater God shows me He is.
God has shown me more of how I can help Him be known. Yesterday I created a Facebook page for my church. Now my Preacher can take God's message across the world in just a few minutes.
God has taken my shame and fear. Restored my health. Given me peace. Given me the chance to worship Him by doing for Him. I used to think all I was good for was mostly nothing. Why try? God wouldn't want me. My morals were looking kinda like Swiss cheese. I did whatever gave me pleasure. He changed my tastes and desires.I didn't recreate myself, He did. There's hope now.
He gave me hope.

Bring it on God...I am ready now.
We feel like our lives are in so much turmoil until something happens that makes you realize that these small things are so petty.
Thank you God for "waking" me today. and allowing me just a moment to share this wonderful day with others.
So what did God do in your life today?

A butterfly landed on my lap today.
