We cannot afford to pick the petals of a daisy when it comes to determining our intimate love relationship with the Lord or how He feels about us. Love is not determined by moods, attitudes or actions. It simply is, therefore; we must instead walk in “Blessed Assurance…Jesus Is Mine

God’s Restoring Grace Abounds, Part Two
Beloved, you are My stately king and priest (Revelations 5:10). My treasure chest full of gifts of incalculable value is now laid before your very eyes. All is in response to your grateful heart. All is in response to the unselfish sharing of your heart and gifts. Ah . . . how big your heart is. I know.

I will make your home immovable and strong for I am the Master Builder. All the shifting sands of your life are being eradicated and I am standing you on the Rock. I cut away undesirable and prohibitive factors from your life and family. I have come to anoint each corner of your foundation in order to bring forth a new generation of anointing.
God’s Restoring Grace Abounds, Part One
As always, in the end I will have My way. Why? Because I am good and My love endures forever—because I have a plan and have seen the end from the beginning. Because I am God and there is no other (Psalms 136).
From Cardboard To Glory
While He was knocking I saw a person on the other side of the door holding a small cardboard box which seemed to represent how they saw themselves. I knew how they saw themselves determined what they allowed in their life or their box. They could not see who they were but believed somehow the box was a true representation of who there were in many ways. Some self-perceived misconceptions cloaked themselves in very subtle ways they were unaware of.
Ants In My Coffee
The flecks in my cup looked like ants; therefore, they must be ants. In fact, I almost poured the cream out before I decided to take a closer look. If I had done so, I would have wasted some good cream and delayed my first drink (which is always the best) by having to start the process one more time.
God Of All Sufficient Grace
My right hand does valiantly on your behalf and stretches out over you, redeeming your emotions, your thoughts your mind (Psalms 118:6). My strength and power are perfected in your weakness and My grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). Nothing is impossible in Me because I have given you all I am and no word I speak is without power (Luke 1:37).
Communion – Broken Bread & Poured Out Wine, A Place Of Healing, Intercession And Grace
Consider the verse in John 20:23 and take Him at His Word. Will you stand in the gap for the forgiveness and the release of another’s sin? Will you be one who comes boldly before the throne of grace to receive mercy in time of need for yourself and others? Will you be one who dares to go outside the confines of religious communion and enter into spiritual communion where the wine and bread multiply when it is put in the hands of a repentant giving heart? Will you be broken bread and poured out wine in the life of another. Will you be one who takes communion with such a heart as to become communion in a dying world?
The Pointed Finger And The Pointed Tongue Verses Grace
We look at others and wonder why they can’t seem to overcome areas of struggle in their lives while at the same time we are fraught with our own inability to achieve victory in our own areas of weakness. We wonder why others can’t seem to see what we see or be as righteous as we are and yet we need glasses of our own. To put it in a nutshell, we forsake grace and set ourselves up as a judge who has the ability to somehow discern and evaluate the motives of another man’s heart which only the Lord can truly see. Sure we can see outward manifestations or what we call symptoms; but, are they the full indicator? Not necessarily. I know the Word says we shall know them by their fruit. Notice the word is know them, not judge or speak evil of them. Knowing should lead to prayer and intercession, not judgment least we be judged.
Children Play Hide And Seek, Sons And Daughters Come Face To Face
Little children cover their eyes to hide for many reasons such as: for fun, hide and seek, out of fear, excitement, or because they feel like they have done something wrong. When they hide their eyes because they feel like they have done something wrong, it is often because they are not sure what will happen to them. Life or people have taught them to be wary. Grace was absent on an experiential level. This is about to change for them and for you.
He Has Already Made Everything Beautiful In Its Time

He Made Everything Beautiful In Its Time. Truly, I have made you beautiful before time, in time and for all time to come.
