How often we celebrate a New Year, thinking, and yes, praying: Please let this year be better than the last one. No matter our beliefs, we all want to let go of the pressures, sorrows, disappointments and stress of the old…in hopes of revival, renewal, refreshment for the new.

Patience (Longsuffering) is a Fruit of the Spirit!

Why do we dread receiving this precious Fruit called PATIENCE? Most of us expect patience from family, friends, God, and others. However, we usually do not go out of our way to pray patience for ourselves.

Birthdays are such a precious time to celebrate all that God can do in the life of those who choose to follow HIM.
I never thought I would live this long! But…I am so very happy that I have.
I am so immeasurably grateful that I answered the Holy Spirit’s call on my life.
I have absolutely no doubt that I would have died in my sin…so many years ago…had I not chosen to follow Jesus.

I am always so gratefully humbled by the knowledge that our heavenly Abba Father has thoughts and plans about and for me.
I am continually in awe that the Almighty Divine Creator of all that ever has been, is now and ever will be…desires that I prosper, have a future, and a hope. Dear one…rejoice! God has these same encouraging thoughts and plans for you and your life. No matter your current circumstances or beliefs, our Abba Father has never stopped loving you. In fact, He loves you more than any person here on earth ever has, ever will…or is able.

As parents, we love our children unconditionally…even when we do not like or approve of their actions or behaviors. As children, we love our parents with expectations and conditional love. How much is this like our Abba Father’s love for us…and our response to Him?
God the Father and Jesus, the Son are our divine role model for earthly parent-child forgiveness and love.

The world says Valentine’s Day is for lovers. The un-coupled, alone, lonely or abandoned often feel rejected, unworthy…and without favor. Let us choose to praise HIM, with love…in all of our circumstances. God tells all of His children: ‘I will love you always’ and ‘I will never leave you or forsake you’. HE loved us long before we loved HIM…or anyone else loved us.

The best Christmas present doesn’t come from Wal-Mart, Macy’s, or even Tiffany’s. It has no shiny paper, streaming ribbons…or a fancy card. Yes, the very best Christmas present – is the presence of Jesus Christ in your life…today, tomorrow, and forever.

The need for intercessory prayer is so great. Do you ever drive or walk around your town praying for those you see along the way? I do…and have for years. As an intercessor, the process will soften your heart toward everyone you meet, while you gain in understanding God’s heart toward all of us.

A mother’s love is the closest thing to unconditional love we experience here on earth. The birth of a child is the beginning of a lifetime love affair for most mother’s hearts. That child may be her 1st or her 12th; no matter, a mother’s heart is big enough. There is no such thing as too many children for her to love.
To be a mother is a gift. To give a child the gift of a mother’s love is a reflection of our Abba Father’s love for us. However, that does not mean it is easy. To love, to truly love…is a daily choice…and can be a burden filled with sacrifice, carried in a mother’s tender heart. I pray for the mothers who have not heard from their child today. Father God, I pray Your perfect peace for mothers, who at this very moment, do not know if their child is dead or alive. I pray for the mothers who are on their knees in daily prayer for guidance, protection, and salvation for their child to make wise choices and to understand the consequences of their actions.

Your self-esteem is a gage of what you truly think and feel about yourself. Either way…Christian or non-Christian…when we possess ecessively high or ecessively low self-esteem, the prideful focus remains on self, not God.
