Brilliantly Beautiful
Joy! Joy is such a beautiful thing, God joy that just bubbles up in our soul coming from deep within our inner spiritual core. I sometimes think joy is the laughter of God. Isn’t that a beautiful thought. Whenever you hear a baby laugh and giggle, it always commands your full attention, taking your focus off of everything and your heart smiles. It is so wonderful to hear a child laugh, they are so free, they are at liberty to be joyful, because in their innocence of child like faith, they trust freely and bloom brilliantly in God’s Joy, the laughter of God. Heart To Heart, The Light within causes us to bloom beautifully in God’s Joy just like this rose bush has bloomed so beautifully and shines out joy to all! Jesus is our light within our heart, our joy, our strength.
Praise of God is a good conductor of JOY, of releasing the JOY, the laughter of God. Letting go of all things us, our worldly viewpoint, and looking up to God in abandonment 🙌 of our world and in unconditional love and Awe of God. It is in that total abandonment of our will to God, the yielding of our lives to God that our hearts are filled with light as we look up to Him, connecting to Him, heart to heart, this is when we bloom brilliantly in the beauty of our unique God design.
There are times when God will correct our course and prune us back so we can grow more beautiful, bloom brightly and huge in His love, peace and joy. Hard times prune us and bring forth a beautiful growth in our personal shape and God design, and this is why we patiently endure, waiting on God, yielding to His methods of opportunity to grow, to brilliantly bloom, in His beauty, joy and strength, being a fragrance of God, beautiful in spirit and hope.
God takes personal care with us! God is personal. He is our Father God, Who cares for us daily. We are never not cared for by our Father God. Do you know He has chased us throughout the beginning of time, always had a plan to be with us, to be our God. There is great JOY in knowing that.
I love seeing when a baby holds up its hands to their father and the father picks up that child and hugs him, this is kind of like what joy is, a joy we can see that comes out of pure trust. That child held up their hands and their father picked them up. They had no doubt that would be the response. It is the same for us with our Father God. No Doubt About It. God loves us immensely, unconditionally, and abundantly. Oh, the JOY of that. When we receive this Father God love, we can bloom beautifully in it, we have the freedom in our soul to become everything He has designed us to be. From rose bud to full bloom magnificence.
Children are so free to be joyful and grow and bloom in their destiny because they innocently trust, in a pure belief not tainted by the world, they trust that they will be taken care of by their Father God. They trust in their Father and His care of them. Oh, the joy of childlike faith! God’s Joy is like that. Joy is the freedom to raise our hands to our heavenly Father, to wholly-holy believe in Who He is and fully trust Him with our today, to know that He will embrace us, and take care of us, provide for us and equip us in that way only He can. JOY is that stability deep down in our soul in our personal relationship with God which strengthens our inner spiritual core in the laughter and love of God. We live, laugh and love in Christ Jesus.
Joy. No one can take it from You, it is God-given, it is the laughter and strength of God. Happiness is a fleeting thing, it is a feeling and it comes and goes and it is dependent upon our changing life situations. Happiness is unstable. But God JOY stays, His JOY remains even through the hard times of our lives, God’s joy remains, steady, strong and true and when we tap into it, it nourishes our soul and we can bloom like a beautiful yellow rose in the friendship of God, heart to heart with Him.
That is why the JOY of the Lord is our strength, because it is completely from God and is not dependent on anything in this world. So let your JOY be full today because Jesus Christ, He lives in You, He will never forsake you, never betray you, never not love you well. Bloom in the friendship of God, the love of God, the JOY of God. Be beautiful today in the fragrance of Awe-God!
Experience JOY today as you walk heart to heart with God and hear the laughter of God, let it move you in a way fickle emotions could never do. Know God Personally And Bloom Brilliantly In His Way, Truth And Life. God bless ya.

Even So
Even so, even if it seems impossible for God to change things up… even so… as “evil” is parading all over our nations with arrogant lawlessness… even so if our culture seems darker than it has ever been… even so… God has not abdicated His authority to evil. God has not left us, God has not forsaken us, God is in play in the unseen, purposefully in play for our good and His glory. Even so… if it seems the enemy of our soul is winning a lot of the battles… even so… we don’t stop praying, we don’t stop believing, we don’t stop trusting in God. We dig our life roots deeply in our God, and depend wholly-holy on Him.
Even so… there has as been so much negative change in our culture. It is hard to imagine that it could get any worse, but it could. We feel like it is very crazy right now and some people say that our culture is really dark. It is a good time to take our eyes off of our culture and get a Kingdom perspective.
Yes, our world is pretty dark right now with, illegitimate authority, deception prevailing, and our morals crashing and burning. Yet even so… the dark does not keep God out. There is no place that God can’t go, He is in the dark, He is in the light. So, we are not without Him.
Even so… the worldly viewpoint of the state of our nation is pretty bleak right now, but when we open our eyes to God, and see with a kingdom perspective, we see God as the Light in our darkness, the strength of our lives. God’s Word is our truth even in this world full of deception, the Word of God still stands faithful and true.
I know it is a hard life season, because of the evil actions of people all around us, and us seeing and experiencing that God’s name is not being lifted up around our nations anymore, and Christianity is not accepted like it used to be. We need to be like Jesus was, and bear with one another, not giving up and continuing to pray for God to bring about unity in our nation and bring us all back to Him.
Praying and interceding for our nation is a good thing, and we need to do that, asking for an awakening of God’s Presence in our nation and a heart to follow after Him, His ways, truth, and life, and letting Him be first in our nation.
Yes, our culture is dark, people are sick and horrendous in their evil deeds… Even so… we need to hope in the dark for our nation and pray for our leaders and our people to wholly-holy give their lives to Jesus and be navigated by His Holy Spirit. Prayer Matters. God hears our prayer, and we can trust Him with the answers, He knows us best and loves us most.

Cloudy Moody Monday
Why is it that on some Monday’s we get so moody, we allow the clouds to just drift in and settle in our soul and we get really moody on Monday. I call it Moody Monday. It is kind of silly to sit in the clouds and bemoan our feelings of moodiness and chalk it up to Monday. So, we have clouds in our soul, we can still have a Miraculous Monday, because God is in the clouds, He is in the feelings. God has feelings too. Jesus had feelings, just read about Him in the Bible and you will see and experience that He pushed through His feelings to the Light of His Father God. Jesus understands our feelings and the cloudy Moody Monday, He has known them. Darkness will never completely cloud us out from the Light of God. It is just not going to happen. Darkness can’t put out light.
So… when we feel clouded in by emotions that weigh us down, look for the glimmer of God’s Light, it is there, focus on God’s way, truth and light and the cloudy soul of emotions will clear up and the SON will Shine brightly turning our Moody Monday into a Miraculous Monday where our lives are positioned underneath the Rulership of God’s Love and His peace rules our soul and heart. We should not stay moody on this Monday, or on any day that the clouds take over our soul emotions, we should look for that glimmer of God’s Light, He is right there with us in the clouds and His light is never put out by our Moody Monday. Having A Moody Monday? Find the glimmer of hope, shining through the gloom. The best thing to do with a moody cloudy soul is to cling to God, dig our life roots deeply in God and clouds that stir up negative moods will disperse as the light of God shatters the darkness of our overwhelmed soul in the peace and joy of our God. Awe-GOD! Moody To Miraculous… You game for it… You up for it… I am… seek and find the light of God in the darkness of the clouds it will break through, one glimmer of light, find it, it is never not there, even the moody clouds can’t put it out. God bless your day.

Fit To Rule
Do you have fear, anxiety and unrest in your soul? We, Christian, shouldn’t be afraid. Even if we face the most dire of situations, the main thing stays the main thing. What is the main thing? Jesus?
Do you believe in Jesus? YES!! I believe in Him! Do you believe Him? That is the question of the hour. Do you believe what Jesus says. Do believe what He has promised will happen. Do you take Him at His Word.
If He says that He is able? Do you believe that? One major thing I know is that He is F.I.T. He is FIT to sit on the throne of our universe and our lives. GOD is FIT to rule over us.
F.I.T. being He is very Faithful, Infinite in nature and incredibly Trustworthy. He is FIT. So, we have no fear and we do not worry over the things we can’t change. God is Able, He Is FIT!
That is why we never step in God’s lane, we let Him rule and we position ourselves underneath the ruler ship of his love. Why? Because He is fit! FAITHFUL-INFINITE-TRUSTWORTHY~ God has absolutely proven this to us. No Doubt About It. God Is FIT.
When we think about how FIT our God is to rule over us, our Faithful, Infinite and Trustworthy God, we should have joy, confidence and hope in our soul.
So heart to heart, rest in His love and fear not. God Is Fit, God is able to maintain beautifully what He has created.

Who Said That?
Jesus Christ is the “Spirit of Truth” He is not going to devalue us in anyway, He will always speak the truth in love to build us up, to teach us, to grow us through. Jesus Still Speaks And Still Speaks The Purest Truth Ever Known To Mankind. So someone just spoke something negative to you and It got in your head, and you are mulling it around in your thoughts, and you are entertaining it, and the negativity gets stronger and stronger, and you feel very devalued. Who Said That? Was it God Or The Enemy Of Your Soul?
Someone has spoken words of condemnation to you and it rips at your soul because you know it is false, it is a false accusation, yet they stand by it, and double down with a total ghosting of you from their lives. because you won’t admit their fake fantasy thinking is true. These are times we remember that people are not the enemy, we have a spiritual enemy. So ask yourself, did God, or would God speak condemnation to you? No He Would Never! So, ask yourself again: Who Said That?
That negative word spoken, is a negative thought given, but do you have to receive it? Start by asking: Who said that? Did God? Or did the enemy of my soul? Is it an absolute truth, that you know that you know? Or is it something that you "think" that you know? This is an assumption. God does not speak in assumptions, nor does God speak out of speculation, presupposition or rationalization. God speaks wholly-holy truth.
How can you answer someone who falsely accuses you? Speak the truth in love, speak things as they are, in the moment where God is, and then you let the Holy Spirit prove it. You do not have to continue to defend yourself, striving on your own, as more strife creates more strife and confusion sets in. God will defend you. God is Your Way-Maker to Truth. God deals with us in the now, the current, the present, so don’t let the enemy make you think on things that are not even here and now truth, because this causes much confusion in your soul and God is not the author of confusion.
The cross of Jesus Christ is always a symbol of Him dying for our sins, the symbol of the emptiness of people, who serve no power higher than self, and walking in untruth as they wield corrupted, self-driven, illegitimate authority. Then in the face of all that illegitimate power, there is the empty cross, and the resurrection of Jesus, and this reality of truth, of an empty tomb, is one of a Higher Power, and is the symbol of life, truth and hope.
So, in the light of the truth of the cross of Jesus Christ, ask this: “who said that”? Is it condemning? It isn’t God who said it. People think that they know “something” so they blurt it out as if they do. Yet, the reality of truth is, people can’t know your motive, or your thoughts, they judge you by something they can’t know, and this is their own assumption, speculation and presupposition in play, and these false accusations, they come from the enemy of our soul, the liar, the father of lies. God is not saying these things.
Are you falsely accused by those who think they know something they do not know? Ask God for the reality of truth, and think on His truth. Who said that?

Human Doers
Who do you serve? Why are you doing what you are doing? Do you consider yourself a “workaholic”? I am just full of questions today! 😜 It is really good to have a little bit of introspective thinking 🤔 about our lives. I am thinking that we human beings in our human condition, can very easily drift into being “human doers”!
Why would God create such a beautiful world if He did not want us to stop and enjoy it? Doing, doing, doing… this is what we do! We keep ourselves so busy that we exhaust our soul. It is so easy to step out of serving God to serving no power higher than self! Apart from God, we can do nothing truly good and lasting and we will run ourselves amuck. That is the human condition of us “human doers”! We are busy, busy, busy…
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8
Do you feel soul exhausted today? Do you have too much on your life plate? Who is putting things on your life plate, your “to do list”? Is it you or God. Are you getting tired of all my questions!! Hmmmmm… just checking in with your heart. I know what it is like to get so exhausted that you crash and burn! I would like to spare you from that. So, my questions have a good motive!
Would you consider yourself as a “human doer” just stepping out and doing it, anything and everything that presents itself as a need that you feel you need to meet. Are you a “Fixer”? Pretty sure we are not “The Fixer” Because God is the Fixer and we are not! The best choice of life is to bring God into your choices. To acknowledge God in all of your ways, letting God navigate you, letting God tell you what to “do”!
Let Be… Let go, let God! In order to do that, we need to let go of the grip of on our plans, and yield our “doings” to God. We are not “human doers” we belong to God, and He does as we follow after Him. We are “human beings” being found in God. Listening up to God, asking God: What do you want me to do? Always, God wants you to “Yield” to Him, to lean into His Sovereign Sway, and go with flow of followship of Him. God is always instructing us, there is never a moment where we are not led by God and that is why it is easy to Yield our way to God to be a human being, found being in God, not a human doer, doing our own thing.

Winter To Spring
The comfort of God is so very prevalent at all times. God’s comfort is a beautiful, strong, amazing thing. I hope you all receive it and are strengthened by it. We all have some winter in our soul, we can’t avoid those times of sorrow and lament, because of our human condition. We human beings very rarely get things completely right, especially when we “think we know” something that we don’t know and we assume, speculate and talk up things that are not truth.
We are easily deceived and that is why human beings so frequently hurt other human beings. Sad to say, we all have probably experienced the hurt and pain of false accusations, condemnation, betrayal, conditional love and rejection. These wintery days of our soul, we go to God for comfort and we find that spring does come to our soul as we receive the comfort of God. Jesus is able to comfort us because He too received comfort from the Father God, as He was falsely accused, condemned and died a criminals’ death. Yet this conviction did not stand as Jesus rose from the dead and defeated the enemy of our soul.
Yes, winter bloomed into a miraculous spring, and because of Jesus, it can for us too. Winter can’t stick around as God heals our soul, and spring is daily ushered in by Jesus Christ, majestically so.
If you need the comfort of God today, spend some time in His Word, knowing Him, knowing He is F.I.T. Faithful-Infiinte-Trustworthy to heal your soul of winter woes and bring you into the wow of Spring. God bless you.

A Giving Lifestyle
These are really hard times to be a giver. Kind of stretches your faith, doesn’t it?? It was easy to give when the economy was great and there was abundance, but now, there isn’t much left between the rising inflation and the rising prices everywhere that have gone up and up and up… and I mean everywhere, in every area of our life.
Are you a giver? Do you enjoy giving to others who have needs? I know being a giver is not so easy-peasy at times! There can’t be any part of your self on the throne of your life. It has to be a all in with God. What I mean by that is your YES must be on the table with God. He asks and YES, you do it, you give. Is getting to this place possible for a person with a human condition. Our human condition says: Look out for ourselves first, take care of ourselves first. Hmmmmm…..What say you?
Being a giver you have to be able to look at giving from the lens of truth, actually this truth: Everything you own belongs to God, and if He asks you to give something it is not something that He has not first given you. Have you gotten there yet? Knowing in your heart that what you have is God-given and owned by Him. That takes a while to get there, but you will, you will.
I truly have loved learning to activate the gift of giving, the generosity of spirit God puts in each one of us. We were made in His image, therefore we are generous people, because He is a generous God. That is why when God speaks into my heart to give, I give, immediately, no questions ask. I trust He knows the needs better than I could ever know and He will return it more than 100 fold back to me. I have seen Him do that so many times now. Jesus is such a generous giver and we can be too.

Not Sure?
Need to know your next step because you see the way ahead is not clear? Sometimes God is doing something new and it takes an activating of our faith, a yielding of our decision to Him before we get the courage to step out in an unfamiliar territory, one that makes us feel uneasy-queasy.
There have been many times in life where we don’t know our next step, but we know we need to move forward. Sometimes we feel stumped and know we can’t find our way on our own. It is so simple the answer to this conundrum. We ask God. We take the next step by faith, not by what we see, but what we know, that God is in charge of our life, that God is trustworthy and will not lead us into anything He has not equipped us for.
Yielding to God is one of the best decisions we can do. Because God knows everything, He knows all. God is able to give us courage to step out into the unknown, never underestimate His ability to navigate us through tough times. Don’t give up if the way seems blocked. Walk by faith and not by sight, acting out of our faith and belief that God can do the miraculous. Walking by faith, talking to God as we step out, we let the peace of Jesus Christ rule our hearts as we step out into new things into Great God Adventure. Walk By Faith. Trust God. Yield Your Decision To God! God will make a way for You where there seems to be no way. God bless ya.
