Compassion Fatigued?
Compassion Fatigued?
#1MinuteEncouragement The reality of truth has been so harsh lately. Some things being revealed from darkness to light are shocking. We are “growing through” many emotional hardships. We need to replenish our soul with God’s peace. #HeartTOHeart

Unmeasurable Favor
Got a tough life season going on? Weeds, muck and mire up to your knees? Change your focus! Don’t focus on the muck and mire of life. Look up to Jesus. Focus UP! We have a super amazing God Who is for us, Who loves us with a plenteous love. We tend to run from God when we have bad situations, and we fall into the pit our enemy crafted for us. Run to God, run to His Light, which can’t be extinguished by the darkness of our enemy’s pits of weeds, muck or mire. God’s strong favor is with us and for us. Move to the Light of God and grow through on the wings of His Favor. God bless ya.

The Nuclear Family
God bless you and your family, today I am praying for us all.
Father God, we ask You to protect our “nuclear family” of father, mother, children. My father was the first one to teach me that a “family who prays together, stays together”! Dad taught me the power of togetherness and the protection of swimming in a school of fish, so we don’t get picked off by the enemy, who is so ready to deceive us to swim away on our own so the world can eat us up. God created us to be a strong family unit with Him at the center of our family. God-Jesus-Family A Three Strand Cord!
We pray for every family unit to become like a three strand cord that is not easily broken. This is a family that has Jesus at the center of their family life. They are like a school of fish being led and in followship of the One who knows how to use the currents to swim together, safe and protected.
We are better together, we are safer together, protected from the wiles of the evil of our time, from deception which is so prevalent. We have the counter cultural tide going on where good is bad and bad is good and it is sweeping into and through our nations with the divisive intention of isolating children from their family and dissolving the God given boundaries of gender. The enemy wants to destroy the nuclear family. God says: Stay together, swim together like schools of fish who stay within the boundaries of the family and are protected and safe from evil intentions.
God created male and female and He creates each child given to each nuclear family, male or female, He shapes them in their mother’s womb. The enemy wants to destroy gender, because this will destroy the God given nuclear family that has been the strength of society from the beginning of time. God created family, just as He created in the fish the wisdom to swim in schools, because together is better, together is safer and together is being protected from evil.
Today, we ask God to protect our “nuclear family” from the onslaught of deception, to protect the children from the deceiver. We ask Jesus to guide each child away from the cultural chaos of our time where people are rebelling against God and His design for them. Evil people are trying to erase gender for motives that are unseen by innocent children who they are preying on to advance their political agenda of a one world government. They are using gender confusion as their means for their political gains. If they can destroy the nuclear family, they can destroy the strength of the nation. God protect our children from their devices of evil, deception and crafty plans of our enemy, satan.
Help us Jesus, the Nuclear Family, not to be isolated from one another through the deception of our enemy. Protect us and keep us swimming in the “schools of fish” that You have placed us in. Jesus, You create every family with a specific design, mother, father and children, You put together families, designed for our good, for the protection and welfare of humanity. This is Your creation, the nuclear family, we ask You to protect it in these times of evil, and let no weapon formed against our family prosper. Keep us swimming together as a “school of fish” through the currents and chaos of our times, keep us together because we know, together as a family is the best protection against the enemy of our soul. Together, Christ in us, our three strand cord which will not be easily broken and we will stand strong against this evil political agenda in the truth of God’s Word, together, unshakeable on His firm foundation and unbreakable by His Power!

Two people are better than one. They get more done by working together. If one person falls, the other can help him up. But it is bad for the person who is alone when he falls. No one is there to help him. If two lie down together, they will be warm. But a person alone will not be warm. An enemy might defeat one person, but two people together can defend themselves. A rope that has three parts wrapped together is hard to break. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ICB

A Truth That Stands
What is all this about? It is about God. It is about His Kingdom. It is about us, the ones He loves. It is about His Authority. It is about His Supremacy. It is about His Rulership. No illegitimate human authority cans stand against Jesus Christ. No one can extinguish His Light as He makes us wholly-holy His, undivided in heart. Psalm 86:11-12

Shatter The Darkness
Light! How we could use some light right now in these dark times. God’s light of truth shatters darkness. God’s truth is a light that evil can never extinguish. God’s goodness breaks through as a light in the dark. We can hope in the dark because God’s Truth remains, always, His truth has endured the tests of trials of time. Unbelief does not alter truth; the reality of truth is not even affected by someone not believing in it. Truth remains truth even if you don’t believe it. People try to change things up by the cultural tides rolling in which say good is bad and bad is good. This is temporary, because every dark night ushered in by the bad trends of cultural tides, are always shattered by the Light of God’s Truth. Hope in the dark, watch, wait and see the Glory of God.

Love You
There is a lot of anxiety in our cultural chaos and it is contagious as we hear people express how they are feeling in times such as these. The best cure for anxiety is declaring your love and praise for the only One Who can dispel anxiety, shattering the soul darkness of it... and that is Jesus Christ. Oh, what a love He gifts us with. If you are feeling that overwhelming anxiety that arises from panic from your worldly viewpoint, you can know peace again as you express the love in your heart for God. You have a Kingdom Perspective, God's precious Words, of how much He loves us (John 3:16) So, speak it out, how much you love God and shatter the darkness of anxiety with your declaration of love for Jesus Christ, our Savior, Redeemer, Deliverer, the ONE we can truly trust in anxious times.
There is so much I love about You, Lord God. I mostly love You are true, that there is nothing deceptive about You. You say what you mean, You mean what you say. Who do you love? What or Who do you worship? I am here today to tell us that Jesus, the One Who loves us most, laid down His life for us, died a horrific and painful death, so we could be free, forever. Jesus defeated death for us, now we have eternal life. There is so much about Jesus that I love. He is faithful, loyal, true, and He is mighty to save, a deliverer, a winner in all things. He has never lost. What is best about Him is His love. He loves us unconditionally, He never treated us like slaves, He gave us a free will, hoping we would chose Him. I love that about Him. He is so confident in Who He is, what He is about, that He gives us the option to chose Him, because He knows we will. There is no greater love, no one has loved us better than our God. I love that I am free to grow in Christ Jesus, to experience life with Him, to grow through in that way only He can empower. I worship Jesus, in a wholly-holy way, because He loves me this way first. He is the fullness of truth, there is no evil in Him, no deception. You can believe what He says, what He promised you will happen. He will always be with us, He will never turn on us, be disloyal to us or leave us in our sinful, deplorable human nature. Jesus made a way for us, a way of truth and life and this is love like no other. I love you Lord Jesus, with my life! AweGOD! I hope you all consider to do the same, choose Jesus, it will be the best choice you ever made on this side of heaven and it will bring you to the heart of God, to a love so sure, so steady, so true, you will never experience anything like it. That is why I know without a doubt, I am loved by God completely and it is a love that I reciprocate in worship of Him with my life, wholly-holy so. Jump in to a love greater than this life and say with a pure heart: I Love You Lord.

Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm. Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. Colossians 3:1-3 TPT

Tripped up? Get up. Do Not Quit.
The scene is set with unfairness and injustice. From what we see, it seems like good is being stomped on by evil fraud. Don’t worry. Unbelief speaks of it being over. Faith says: things are not as they seem with our God, Whose Light of Truth is never extinguished by someone’s unbelief. Truth is always truth and unbelief has no ill effect on it. No doubt about it. Watch – Wait – See! We have an Advocate working in the unseen for our good.

Walk It Out
Emotions get stirred up so much by the enemy of our soul, who is so good at disrupting our peaceful emotions. I had such an emotional week with a few things going on in my life at once that were stirring up sad and negative emotions. Have you been there and had that kind of a day or a week even!? It is not fun and emotions can be so exhausting. I am so grateful that even though our emotions make us tired, they don’t tire God out or make God tired of us. God is not afraid of our emotions and always has a heart wide open to us, a safe place to dump out our emotions. Tara Leigh Cobble said this: “God is not afraid of our emotions. God can be trusted to do what is right, even when our feelings are wrong. God can handle receiving the honest outpouring of our emotions, even the ones that don’t honor him or align with His plan.”
God is our safe place of unconditional love. When I dumped my emotions out on God, walking it out and talking it up, God treated me kind of like he did Elijah, very practically. Get some food, get some soul rest, and take some time with Me. So I did. I went to my favorite place, the beach, and brought some food with me and I walked out my emotions on the beach. It was such a beautiful evening with God. I dumped out everything that I was feeling, and He took it and changed up the atmosphere in my soul to Shalom: disrupted chaos with His peace. Change happens within families and it shakes life up, but God is faithful to listen and direct our emotions to truth, flip-flopping them from negative to positive, from lie to truth, from incivility to civility, and from hurt to healing. We have so much to be grateful for as we continue to be His.
God listens to us and doesn’t judge our emotions, but embraces them as if they were His own. This is a safe atmosphere, in God’s Presence, sharing our hearts. God chooses us and He stays consistent in our lives even if that means coming into a soul wild with chaotic emotions. God proves to us that He is faithful and trustworthy and that we are a keeper. God works with us through all the fleshing out of our human condition and He helps us to, grow us through from emotion to the steadfastness of truth. When I can’t wrap my mind around something it stirs up my emotions like no other. I know that if I walk it out and talk it up with Jesus, I will end up being okay and won’t dump out my emotions on some poor human being! God can defeat the enemy by thwarting the scheme of the enemy that is in play. As I walk it out, I put on the armor of God and position myself underneath the rulership of God and this always ends well for me, but not so well for the enemy of my soul. Walk It Out – Talk It Up! Finish Well!

My Identity
The best, absolute best person for us to emulate is Jesus Christ. He is the only one we should put our identity in. In fact, our identity is best placed wholly-holy in Him. To be like Him is to have loving kindness which is abundant in grace, a patient endurance which has the fragrance of godly wisdom in play, therefore our character is unconditional and yields to learning and growing, to letting be and letting God Work in us and through us. Making room for Jesus in our lives, we place our identity in Him, we give Him permission to speak into our lives His truth that has transforming power on our morals, personality and character, and shapes us in that unique way He has personally designed us to be.
We all were made in the Image of God, this is a common thread human to human, but we all are also uniquely shaped and designed by Him in our mother’s womb through our life experiences that He purposefully sets us up with. God knows us best and most. This is why I don’t give permission for many people to speak into my life. They don’t know me the way He does. God sees all of us, He sees our thoughts, motives of our heart, attitudes of our soul. God knows the why behind every word and every action we take. It is a good life when we live it unto God, when it pleases Him, that our motives are pure, our thoughts are of Him and our attitudes are in check, wholly-holy aligned with His Kingdom precepts.
People tend to judge us by the outside appearance and their judgement can never be 100 on target, because they can’t know our heart, they can’t know our inner motive, only God can truly know that. It is best for us if we yield to God and we give Him permission to speak truth in our lives and we let Him navigate us first. People may have good intentions speaking into our lives, but most people in today’s culture, they don’t have time to truly know me, it is a surface knowing, it is only by a glimpse of my life, where God knows all of me.
Most people who try to speak into my life, I am polite to them, but I don’t give them permission to speak into my heart, only God has that permission. I guard my heart, because humanity is imperfect, seeing through the eyes of the flesh, seeing only in part, and they tend to criticize me, condemn me by what they think they know, an assumption, a speculation, a presupposition, these are never the truth. Being an imperfect person makes me a really bad judge of someone else’s heart. The best thing I can do is work on my imperfect life before telling someone else they need to work on their faults. God has given permission to us to love, encourage and bless others, but not to judge them, because He knows they can’t truly know the heart and motive of someone else, this is His Infinite way and not ours, we are finite, He is Infinite. This is why I no longer will chase after the approval of people, I am becoming like Christ, I chase after Him. He has my full permission to speak into every area of my life, I give Him total access.
God says there is safety in a multitude of counselors, so I am directed by God, navigated by Him as He creates enduring friendships for me, friends that have a glimpse into my soul, friends He uses to speak into my life. If you are not doing life with me, if God has not set us up as friends, if we are just acquaintances, I will guard my heart, for out of my heart flows the issues of life and it is worth protecting it, it is valuable enough to listen up to God first, to give God that first permission to speak into my life and to withdraw that permission for those who do not know me, who do not do life with me.
Many times I have had people say to me: You are this… they label me. I in turn will say: I am not. You don’t know me. You don’t know my heart. I do not let a label stand that has been pasted on me irresponsibly by someone who does not have permission to speak into my life. Labeling is something we need to change up. Name calling, telling someone: You are a racist. You are a bigot. You are a liar. You are homophobic. You are self-righteous. You are stupid. You are foolish. You don’t care. It is funny how things work out in life that a lot of times there is transference when people label you, they are labeling you with the label of who they truly are, the label they give you is a reflection of their own heart.
There we go… just a very few of the labels we human beings use to judge one another when we have no clue of the other person’s heart or motive, only God does. So it is godly wisdom not to label others as much as it is godly wisdom to not let someone speak a label upon your life. Only God Knows. Give God total access to your life, give Him permission to speak into your life and you will know truth, you will learn and grow into His character, been shaped and designed by Him.

We Say NO
Galatians 6:7-10 https://my.bible.com/bible/1849/GAL.6.7-10
I am so tired, aren’t you, so tired of these arrogant self-righteous people who think they have claim to our lives. These sinful people being used by the enemy of our soul, whose purpose is to kill, steal and destroy us. These evil enticed people are changing things up in a bad way, so suddenly so quickly, like a bad current causing us to drift out to sea and drown. They think they have the right to do horrific things to humanity because they feel that we are over populated and it is their life goal to kill, steal and destroy our lives. They are foolishly playing God with our lives. Makes me sick what they are dong to us and our children. Resist the enemy and fight the good fight of faith.
Hebrews 6:18-19 https://my.bible.com/bible/8/HEB.6.18-19
As you can tell, I have a lot of righteous anger right now about these people, and I hope God takes everything they are doing to us, every evil act, every evil intention and boomerangs it back on them. I pray this. We do have a recourse and that is to remember God is with us. As this evil current pushes into our communities, look to Jesus, He is our buoy to hold onto in the midst of the bad current, He will hold us firm, He will anchor us to His way, truth and life. He will not allow this ungodly current which is pulling at our culture, causing all kinds of chaos, to prosper over us. God will make a way of escape for us from the evil intentions of our enemy.
Timothy 6:11-12 https://my.bible.com/bible/1849/1TI.6.11-12
Fight the good fight of faith! Resist The Enemy! We pray in the name of Jesus, and we deny the enemies evil plan, we deny the the enemy access to speak into our lives, we deny the enemy access to our body, soul or spirit, and we deny the enemy access to every area of our lives and the lives of those we love. We say NO in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, Redeemer, Protector and Provider, we deny access to the enemy to disrupt our lives.
Psalms 94:20-23 https://my.bible.com/bible/1849PSA.94.20-23
We say NO and GOD says ENOUGH and He will act on our behalf, He will send a boomerang of Justice and Judgement on the evil that has been formed against us. There is nothing the enemy has done to us that God can’t reverse. He is a God of miracles and it only takes Him a moment to reverse the curse of the enemy of our soul. We look to God, we draw close to God, we rely on Him, knowing a power higher than ourselves, connected heart to heart with Jesus, we deny the enemy access to our lives. We say No!

Stand against the devil, and the devil will run away from you. Come near to God, and God will come near to you. You are sinners. So clean sin out of your lives.

Been Ghosted?
Ghosting is a cultural word that has sprung into use in this cultural climate where we cancel each other, devaluing each other for various reasons. Ghosting to me is being devalued by someone else, being treated like you are not viable, you are not visible. It is one person ignoring another person, treating them like they are not good enough, it is an elitist, self-righteous attitude towards another person. Ghosting isolates people and is used by people when they want to shun you from relating with them and usually comes out of an exclusivity, a snootiness of spirit that speaks with an attitude of: I am better than you, you are less than desirable to me. I have seen whole families who act this way, who care less what they do to other people’s hearts as they ghost people with an elite exclusivity, a snobby way of living that excludes with a self-righteous stank. Ghosters are people who don’t give other people permission to be in their presence. The worse part of it, is that most of the people I know who ghost others, call themselves Christians. This is not Christianity. How can you be a Christian when you are so rudely careless with other people’s hearts? I have to come to grips with this myself, because I have ghosted others in one way or another, especially when I want to run from conflict. But I have also been ghosted by other’s exclusivity, where they did not want to talk to me and they ignored me saying hello and walked right by as if I never spoke a word. The main commandment of Christianity is to love. (John 15:12-17) Ghosting is not love, excluding and exclusivity of others is not a reflection of Jesus. Jesus never devalued other people. If there was truth that needed to be spoken, Jesus did not run from it, He faced it head on and spoke truth in love. Jesus lived a life of compassion adding value to everyone He crossed life-path’s with and eventually gave His life for us, adding eternal value to our lives. Jesus Ghosted No One! Because of Jesus, we can live among “the rocks” and bloom in His life. We can be like Jesus as we depend upon Him to flesh us out and help us live out of His Kingdom precepts. It is possible to bloom in love even among the rocks, as we lean into God’s Sovereign Sway. Even in the harshest of elements of insults, hatred, anger, being ghosted by those who not only hate what we believe, but hate us. Yes, we can beautifully bloom in and through God’s love because we were created in the image of God and God is love. We can bloom in the bright SONshine of all God is. Life is not about us, it is all about Him and how He can empower us to bloom among the rocks. So if someone is “ghosting” you, devaluing you, cancelling you, don’t reflect that darkness, choose to bloom in the brightness of God, SHINE His Love and grow through, living, loving and laughing, blooming in bright yellow flowers among the rocks. Remember This: God does not “ghost” us, God stays with us, and we are seen by God and loved unconditionally by God and this has to be our enough when human beings do not love us well. God loves us well. Dig Deeper: https://thebridegroomscafe.com/faith-thoughts/

Ego Trap
The enemy of our soul wants to tap into our ego. It was corrupted human ego, leading to embittered human pride, that put an innocent man, Jesus, on a cross to die for something He did not do. In all actuality, the reality of truth seen in our history, we now know, He died for all of humanity stuck in our corrupted egos and human pride. This selfishness, which serves no power higher than self, runs amuck, straight into sin, as we human beings clamor, scratch and claw for power, position, titles, authority, and worldly pleasure, treasure and worth. Without God in our lives, our humanity is pure stank. We can all clearly see this in times such as these. We need to lay our egos at the foot of the cross of Jesus.
A focus on ourself first, a living out of no power higher than self, this kind of behavior is the opposite of Jesus, Who gave up His Kingly rights, said no to His ego, and went to the cross for us, to save us. It is with His resurrected power that we can live above pride, not feeding our ego, but walking in the same selflessness that He had, a servant’s heart, whose pride went through the human crucible revealing the truth of meekness, power under control for the good of others. Jesus modeled a selflessness which put the interests of others before His personal ego and gain. Selflessness is a huge part of our Salvation that should not be denied, as Jesus put us before Himself, paying our sin debt, He died our death so we could live forever by His life-giving resurrection power. Say no to ego which feeds into a corrupted pride, say YES to Jesus, being positioned underneath the Rulership of His pure of heart kind of love, a love that creates an atmosphere in your soul which speaks of the truth of Jesus: Saved To Serve.

Only God Can
#1MinuteEncouragement In a time, such as this, we do not have the luxury of human reaction. It is easy to fall into the trap of the enemy who baits us with the deception flavor of the day. Every day we face temptation twisted by deception. Our enemy entices us to flesh out, reacting first out of our emotions, discarding common sense, civility and compassion as we try to defend what we are not meant to and try to become a fixer that we can’t be. God is the only Fixer. Only God can take the crooked paths of our times such as this, which our sins have twisted up, and navigate us by His Holy Spirit, making a way for us to respond in humble submission to Him.

Anxiety Trap
I know you hear many messages instructing you how to be independent and live by your own personal strength and wisdom. The craftiness of the media is to overload your senses and covertly maneuver into the centerpiece of your thinking. Your enemy has devised the perfect strategy of successfully jamming your mind with the disinformation of the world and deprive you of God’s communication of truth, discernment, and peace. It begins with little suggestions in your mind that something is just not right, and then the “over thinking” starts. Wondering, speculating, presuming, assuming, all these nasty devil tactics that stir up anxiety through the deceptive process of mind chaos. Nothing good comes out of a lie, and if you are worrying about something that has not even happened yet, then you are on a shaky foundation of an untruth. We waste so much time with our “what if” scenarios that stir up our emotions and leave us anxiety ridden. Why do we let the enemy twist up our gut in that way? Life is too short to be stirring up so much anxiety over something that may not even occur. That is our enemy, he loves to work us up with deception. Anxiety high? What have you been thinking about what has your mind distracted and of course what are you presuming? There is a lot in our chaotic culture that will keep us riding the wild ride of chaos as we stand back aghast at the deplorable human condition rolling downhill fast, day after day. So, we don’t know what is coming next, and things ahead don’t look too well. So, we project our assumptions propelled by anxious thoughts, and we go faster and faster with irrational thought patterns, until we crash and burn emotionally. There is a better way to deal with all of the cultural chaos in days such as these. We are walking through some incredibly distracting, high anxiety times. Wars and rumors of wars, things we never thought would be happening right now. Our enemy causes chaos and then we struggle with the unknown, and the fear of this disrupts our soul. On a narrow path, looking anxiously ahead? Get with Jesus, take one step at a time, one foot ahead of another. As we stay tight in our vital-vertical relationship with God, He will make a way of peace, where there seems to be no way. Shalom~ in the Presence of God, chaos is disintegrated. We can trust God in times such as these, where everything is shaking. God is an amazing Advocate. God sees us and knows where we are at and where we are going. God has a plan, His purposes are in play in the unseen. He is trustworthy. So, shake off the anxiety, focus up and follow after God. He’s got us.

A Lovely Day
I hope you have a lovely day… those words were spoken in kindness to me, and a word echoed in my soul, the word “lovely”! I thought, what is my perfect “lovely” day? But then I knew, there is nothing perfect here in this world that I am in but not of. Yet, not everything perfect is dependent upon our circumstances, there is a huge variable that is not. God is perfect, I am not. Yet, God is always with me, He chose me, imperfect and all, He loves me. Lovely is the heart of God, that is never withdrawn from us, that attractive love we find in His Presence that draws us to Him in that magnetic way.
“My cherished bride, I am the beautiful spirit of all life! I offer Myself, all that I am to you each day through the possibility and purity of My love. My love for you is complete, a wholesome devotion expressed by My Holy Spirit, Who lives inside of you. Daily, I grant you a righteous, divine character through your holy alliance with My Spirit.” The Bridegroom’s Voice
What is lovely to you? Lovely to me is God’s Presence, that purity of righteousness found no where else, a holiness that when we get heart to heart with God, refreshes our human conditioned soul. Lovely, is the “always presence” of God in our lives, no matter what our situation prescribes, His Presence lifts us higher than the dark redacted script of our circumstances, and enlightens every dark place.
“The wisdom I impart to you today, My bride, is for you to always look beyond the façade of prettiness in your world and find My beautiful spirit of life! See the reflection of My Image in all things and seek out the beauty of My person and you will discover the true, beautiful spirit of life on earth as it is in heaven. My church, always be found in Me and I will enlighten your heart and nurture your spirit with an incredible security, a stability surpassing all your human understanding, a peace that I freely give you out of My inner heart of grace. How beautiful is the glorious Bride of Christ!” The Bridegroom’s Voice
The enemy can’t steal our light when we choose to be positioned in the effervescent glory of God, heart to heart with God, in personal relationship with God. This is lovely… this is a lovely and beautiful thing, the Omnipresence of our God, stolen by no one and nothing can dim it. This makes for a lovely day. What loveliness has been abundantly showered upon us by our God? His Love… unconditionally, simply-significantly so.
For the Lord God is brighter than the brilliance of a sunrise! Wrapping himself around me like a shield, he is so generous with his gifts of grace and glory. Those who walk along his paths with integrity will never lack one thing they need, for he provides it all! O Lord of Heaven’s Armies, what euphoria fills those who forever trust in you! Psalms 84:11-12

Lovely! God, You Are So Lovely. Beautiful in character, holy, pleasing in joy, inspiring in love, and lovely in Your affection towards us. Your nature charms us, delights us, allures us and Your amazing character is constantly seen and encouraging us to be lovely like You in goodness, kindness, wisdom, righteousness, peace and joy. You, Lord Jesus inspire our love and affection, and Your purity of righteousness leads us with a heavenly loveliness that infuses our human condition, with strength to say no to our flesh and yes to Your Kingdom living. It is absolutely lovely to be alert to Your Presence, the beautiful spirit of life. What a lovely day it makes.
“I will write My word upon your heart, encouraging and inspiring you unto good works. Church, I encourage you to daily apply My wisdom to your soul and I, in turn, will inscribe My sovereign will on your spirit and strengthen the steadfastness of your character in My holiness. My bride, I encourage you to refresh and purify the emotions of your soul daily as you commune with My beautiful Spirit of life, heart-to-heart.”#TheBridegroomsVoice KimberlyMac
The world at times is not a lovely place, mostly in this life season we find ourselves thrust in, where good has been flip-flopped by evil to be bad and bad flip-flopped to be good, it makes for a horrifically corrupted human condition… not exactly lovely living. It muddies our soul as we focus on the shock of its depravity, therefore we lift our eyes higher to the beauty of life, to the Presence of our God. Our worldly viewpoint at times is deplorable, but our Kingdom perspective at all times is lovely. Wherever God is, and He is Omnipresent with us, this is so very lovely.
“My bride, there will be times when your inner beauty will be muddied, stained by the corruption of your culture. Don’t be afraid, lean on My perfect love. I promise I will cleanse your heart and remove any impurities and once again you will have a fresh, beautiful spirit, purified by My Spirit of life. My bride, even the ashes of your yesterdays, I can convert into beauty, transforming them into valuable heart treasures. Come to Me and My Spirit will refresh the charisma of your heart with a renewed newly cleansed attitude, which will saturate your soul.” The Bridegroom’s Voice
I hope you have a lovely day my friends! May God bless your day in the loveliness of Jesus Christ, heart to heart with Him. He is the best of this life here on this side of heaven, lovely in all of His ways and we can be best because of Him, we can be lovely, just like He is. His loveliness will be with us always, we will never be a God forsaken people, He loves us extremely well in the beauty of His Holiness, His ever present life in us and through us. Jesus makes our lives in this sin muddied world, pure, lovely and beautiful.

What It Is, It Is
Bucking our will up against God just doesn’t work out for the best. It is exhausting. God’s ways are not our ways and sometimes they are very hard to swallow, but it sure does go down easier with His Love. The Sovereign Will Of God And Infinite Love Of God Go Hand In Hand. This is why we can patiently endure the hardships of our lives, and put our complete hope in God. God’s love strengthens us in the all of our everything. This life can be so very hard at times, but we are never separated from God’s love. So, when bad things happen and seem to stick around for a long time, slip your hand into God’s Hand of Love and say: “It is what it is”.

Stormy Day Upon Us
#1MinuteEncouragement Life can get stormy when you least expect it. Storms can come upon us so suddenly, violent life storms that we know we can’t navigate through. These stormy kind of days, we learn to trust in God with all of our heart and we lean on Him, knowing He will direct our path, He will navigate us. How will we get through these cultural storms? Only With God, In Followship Of Him. Do Not Fear. Without a doubt, God will take care of us, His Holy Spirit will lead us by His truth, and our Father God, He will protect us with His Mighty Right Hand. God is trustworthy do not doubt Him, lean into Him and find shelter in the storm under the refuge of His Presence. God bless you and yours.

Disruptive Emotions
#1MinuteEncouragement Got some feelings churning up inside of you making an unstable soul. Are you full of emotions that are bouncing off the walls? How are you today? What is the normal response to this question? I am fine. F.eelings I.nside N.ot E.pressed. It is hard to trust other people with how you are feeling. Feelings are fickle, so we don’t want to share them. We feel one day, one thing, and the next day we could feel different. But, when we are burdened down with negative feelings, day in and day out, it really does help to find someone to share them with. It is good to release disrupting emotions, just by sharing with someone how you are feeling and why you are feeling that way. So, the next time someone asks you how you are feeling and you trust them to be a person who truly does care, then share with them. “I am fine”, is not a good answer that will bring an end to the negative feelings you have. Get out of the self-isolation, open your soul and share, then you may feel emotionally fine! #DigDeeper https://thebridegroomscafe.com/fine/

Been Devalued?
#1MinuteEncouragement It is not fun to be defamed by someone else, especially when they don’t know what they “think they know” about you. If you don’t agree with someone, you can devalue their opinion without dehumanizing them with your spiteful personal rhetoric. Hate what they stand for, yes, hate the person, no. #DigDeeper https://thebridegroomscafe.com/spirit-of-truth/
