Greatest Love Of All



He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:8 KJV


I believe God knows our future without a doubt.  For some of you God has already delivered your soul mate, some are still waiting and many have not Let Go and Let God have his way!  God did not plan for man to be alone (Gen. 2:18).  If you are spending Valentine’s Day alone this year, take the time to pray to God to start the process of molding your soul mate. Everybody needs love, but sincere Love is the Greatest Love of All.

 I know you are sitting quietly thinking I’m all alone, but take this time to get to know what you are worth and to prepare to celebrate with your future soul mate. Learn to depend on God, because he did Love us first!

For those of you who are spending time with love ones on this Valentine’s Day, cherish the good moments and be kind to those around you who may not be able to feel the same way you do.  Let’s be mindful not to brag about our gifts of love to others who may be alone or lonely.

With all that said, find your strength and enjoy your Valentine’s Day! 

Love you in the Spirit of the Lord,

Recognize The Blessings


1 Thessalonians 5:18 - In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

A few weeks ago a young child was stricken with a mouth disorder that allowed her not to be able to eat and barely drink for more than three days.  I couldn’t imagine not being able to eat or drink at the age of five.  She was so patient with her medical condition until the third day and while at the dinner table with her family she screamed “why do you all get a chance to chew and eat?”  As days went by she was able to take in bland foods, cold and warm liquids.  At this point she had set her mind to just be in survival mode until her condition improved.

On the fifth day of her discomfort she insisted in trying more solid foods.  So, she did it! She was able to chew and eat with very little discomfort.  At the end of her trial and tribulations she stated “it is so good to chew and eat food again.”

 Her discomfort reminds us how we may sometimes take things for granted or become ungrateful for things we have access to. When those tangible things are no longer in our reach we tend to feel defeated.  As soon as we see a better view of reaching or receiving the things we once had access to we appreciate and respect our blessings more.

 Take time to rejoice in the things you have in your reach for we never know when we will not be able to use them in our normal daily activities.
