LOVE IS




The more I experience and learn about love it becomes more evident that I don’t know much about true love or perfect love.  How about you?

Love denies self and seeks after the good of others.  A mammoth task?  When the golden rule is applied, No. 

Love is a fruit of the spirit.  It is not born out of emotions to which we are mostly inclined.   We must put aside selfish desires to truly love.
The Amplified Bible, 1 Corinthians 13 describes perfect love.  The way it was intended.

Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind and thoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.  It is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not provoked [nor overly sensitive and easily angered]; it does not take into account a wrong endured.  It does not rejoice at injustice, but rejoices with the truth [when right and truth prevail].  Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].  Love never fails [it never fades nor ends].

Think about the true meaning of love before saying "I love You"

Hope for the greater good

Loss, debt, hurt, pain, disappointment such is the cry of many … will we ever find hope? Disappointment crept into my soul when I reviewed the objectives that I had set for the 2016.    It’s March and thing were at a standstill.   Even though I had planned for a balanced budget by March the reality was far from the perceived objective.   Frustrated, I went back to the drawing board.   It’s time to Pray.  Will it work this time?   Is God really listening?   Is he really there?   When will I get it right?   What have I done wrong?   These were the questions that prevailed in my mind. In a desperate attempt to do something different (stupid to be more precise), I recorded the debts on sticky notes, stuck them in my Bible and left them.   God will take care of them.   A few days later I was gifted with a new book.   The Shack: Wm. Paul Young.    This book is a must read. Below I will disc...

utilizing my authority

Today I choose to impact my world. The universe beckons for my instructions. Therefore I declare prosperity in all my circumstances and wisdom to manage the changes that will occur. I break free of all inhibitions and walk in boldness to fulfill my purpose to make this world a better place. To teach what I have learned and engage my audience. The above statements were posted in 2016 following a challenge from a motivational speaker. Two years later... I updated this post.  I must say its been a wonderful experience!  Declarations change the atmosphere. Many positive changes have impacted my personal and family life spiritually, physically, emotionally because I declared what I want to see and believe it. Proverbs 23 verse 7 states - "as a man thinketh in his heart so is he' Declare your breakthrough, believe, engage your authority and watch the universe respond to your positive words.
