Galatians 3:1-9

Justification by Faith

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth,[a] before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you[b] as crucified? This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?— just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[c] Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.”[d] So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.


Thank You Lord for another day. Thank you for the birds that sing outside of my window. Its Springtime. Weather is getting warmer and we are encouraged to get out and enjoy God's good, green earth.

The truth shall set you free. The things that are going through my head are enormous. I have tried to encourage myself, encourage others, and be a help to others. I have been disappointed, over and over again. I never imagined that I would be unmarried and without a mate at 55. How did that happen? The truth is I was waiting for my love.

I guess I always thought I would grow old with a husband by my side. Now I am old, and no husband by my side. I always thought I would remarry again.  I would be a source of encouragement and comfort to someone. Am I that to anyone? I think not?

My truth is that I am single, divorced and not even dating. My prospects are few. Now I have to prepare for a wedding for my daughter and I need a date. I will not be alone for a special event like that. Especially when I have to pay for it. This really sucks.

How did I let this happen to me? Was I thinking it would happen eventually on its own? Lord, I can't believe this is your plan for me. I know certain people are content to be alone and are comfortable with the thought and reality of that situation, but I am not.

 You can convince yourself that its ok but its really not good to be alone. The truth is very direct. I pray that I am not rejecting the Lord and am being punished. Though I think I am. The judgment of God. Faith without works is not good. There is so much to be said for truth. The truth shall set us free. What is your truth?

Moving Past Your Pain





Luke 4:18-19
   The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”[a]

Good Morning Lord. Thank You for waking me up this morning and giving me an opportunity to spend time with you this morning. Lord, protect and heal My Love. Cover him with your annointing. Give him peace from his pain. Let what needs to pass, pass without further delay. Give him peace and comfort him. Keep him safe Lord. Love him with all of your heart. This is a man who deserves to be loved and comforted. I would love to hold his head on my lap and comfort him. Protect him Lord from any attack of the devil. Satan is busy being distracting. What's he trying to distract us from now? Jesus came to heal the broken hearted. So I know I must be in that group. Heal me Lord. Break the hold that is on me. Keep me safe today Lord and encourage me. Thank You for your blessings Lord.  God you want me to have joy, peace and love.  I want those things in my life too.  I want to share those things with you. Be blessed and be a blessing to someone special.

Jesus is Calling



Matthew 3:1-3
In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:
“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[a]

Thank You Father God for another day. I am overjoyed that today is Friday. Thank You God for your blessings. I am praying for a positive answer to my question Lord. Fill me with your Love, Joy and Peace. I am your servant Lord. I trust you to give me what I need and not so much just what I want. My heart is heavy for you Lord. But, patience is important. You are my light in a very dark place. I have faith in you Lord. I trust you Lord. Your mission is for me to worship and love you. I love you, Lord. As I travel through today, I pray that my prayers are heard. My Love, to your ears I pray the prayers of my heart. My Love is my heart. Glory to your name Father God. I love you.
