Thomas Hobbes “asserted that human desires is the fundamental motivation of all human action” (Wikipedia…). I am not one easily persuaded to believe it in my heart and accept it as a truth until I repeatedly experience it – that’s how I own the truth. Telling me once does not make me a believer nor…
I do not want to be wise in my own eyes now that I have the beginning of wisdom. Understanding the power of the Creator and the works of Christ, I fear Him. I fear Him but yet there is no fear in love. Love casts out fear. So if fear of the Lord is…
“The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord shall be safe” (Proverbs 29:25). I aim to please…please others in order to satisfy the intense need to feel validated – well, at the very least that was once my pattern for living. I worked myself to a frenzy trying to make…
Wisdom is the principal thing that we need to get. With wisdom, we have understanding, deliverance and freedom, With wisdom comes peace on earth in the path of Christ – that’s how our steps are ordered. In wisdom, we produce the fruits of righteousness – we learn self-control, kindness, gentleness, joy, peace, goodness, faithfulness…because we…
Faith and trust are different. Faith believes while trust acts… I could believe in who HE was but I could not anchor down in a way to believe He would/will do as He says. Have you struggled with minding the gap in believing He will do what He says? Truth? From me to you?!? Lacking…
We must learn to instead to: STAND FIRM “Be steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58) STOP BLOWING IN THE WIND “…no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind and doctrine, by the trickery of men in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting”…
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and not that of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast” (Ephesians 2:9). We are no longer under the law. When Christ sacrificed Himself at the cross, He took on all the punishments for all sinners – past, present…
The Law of Harvest is real. Everything planted in the dark will grow into the light. “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to the flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will…
We, as a culture, have perverted the GOSPEL by weakening its point. It’s time to raise the standard in the expectation of His higher way of living by following His commands. What can we do? Can we strengthen what we have weakened without His empowering strength? No. We cannot, in our own power, redeem our…
Stop arguing. You’ve lost the battle already once you’ve stepped from beyond the dialogue (exchange of information) onto the ground of FIGHT. Fights stand in position of defense, with determination only to win. Being angry while condemning another person (with an opposing viewpoint) is equal to death in a relationship. Again, you’ve already lost the…
The cup of suffering is internalized through SUBMISSION and walked out in LOVE. To be great, you must be willing to be small. In order to be first, you must be last. The start of YOUR NEW LIFE in HIM will lead to greatness! Greatness is achieved in HUMILITY. Humility is caught by learned living…
I look around the “bling wing” (the home office of inventory) and I am surrounded by sparkle and shine. 💎 The beauty of the accessories displayed brings a smile to my face. 😀 I buy in small amounts for VARIETY over quantity. Variety is a beautiful thing. Variety is a beautiful thing – different styles,…
How do you set your sights during LIFE’s circumstances? 🤔 How to you LIVEOUTLOUD in your truth? 🤔 FASHION represents LIFE. To “fashion forward” means we FASHION (create) an OUTLOUD LIFESTYLE. Whatever our IDENTITY is will be expressed outwardly in our actions… Thoughts for ACTION… 🌟 Refuse to give into FEAR and don’t back down;…
Yield your own will to Him. People do not want constraints. And no one knows this better than our Creator. He created us not with constraints but with free will. We therefore need to be ever mindful to the fact that if the Creator does not force His will on us then neither should we…
Life is a journey. Our daily choices lead us on the path to our destiny. The path we pursue will either bring us contentment and internal peace or rob us of our joy and steal our serenity. Until I met Christ in a REAL way, I was a restless wanderer seeking for the “AHA” moment…
That’s LIVE not LIVE. Even though both words look the same, the way each are said out loud bring a whole different meaning and connotation when heard. BUT that is exactly the point of this blog – living a life of one meaning, merging into a life of authenticity, thriving from transparency. Yes the aim…
