"Many waters cannot quench love." Song of Solomon 8:7
Infidelity cannot quench love. Adultery cannot quench loves. Sickness
cannot quench love. Hard times cannot quench love. Lack of
communication cannot quench love. Deceitfulness cannot quench love.
Lies cannot quench love. Anger cannot quench love. Disappointment
cannot quench love. If anything could quench love, God would have
stopped loving us a long time ago!
When God puts your marriage together, NOTHING can destroy it, except
your choice not to love. There may need to be a separation for a
season, where both parties are seeking God, especially if abuse is
involved. But, ultimately, if God said he or she is for your life,
NOTHING will change that.
The enemy knows this. So, he will attempt to throw many stumbling
blocks your way to encourage you not to love the one person God has
custom designed and created just for you from the very foundations of
the world. But, if you can persevere and love in spite of, the way
the Father has chosen to love us inspite of, there still exists a
love that water cannot quench.
How powerful is water? Water is so powerful that when God destroyed
the earth the first time, He used water. Now, imagine being so
engulfed in love, that nothing can put out the fire that burns in
your heart for that special one, including water. You can have that
when you decide to let go and let God. Whatever is hindering you from
loving the one you KNOW God has chosen for your life, give it to God
and see what He can do with it. Love can survive anything!
Nothing is too hard for God. He is not trying to figure out how to
fix your marriage. It's already fixed. He's just waiting on you to
let go, let God, and watch him take the broken pieces of your
marriage and make it whole again. Wherever you are failing to love,
you've got to begin to ask God to help you obtain an agape love (A
Godly love that never ceases.)
What you can't fix, God can. Who you can't love, God can. I'll be
honest, this type of love will never be found in your strength. It
can only be found with His strength. Ask Him for His strength to love
the one who seems the most unloveable. Out of everything you could
ever ask God for, He will never not grant you the ability to love
like Him. Why? Because love begots restoration and resurrection.
God specializes in resurrection. If He ordained it, He will maintain
it. Despite what others may say, your restoration doesn't have to
take long. Your restoration and resurrection is according to your
faith. When you believe it is so? If your so is now, then it is so
RIGHT NOW.
If He can raise Jesus from the dead in just three days, how much more
can He resurrect your marriage and restore it back into a place of
peace, love, prosperity, wisdom, kindness, and understanding. But,
your first step has to be letting go of the hurt, and being honest
enough with God to say, "Lord, I cannot do this without your help or
your strength."
God is good all the time. Today, just try love.
Be Blessed Abundantly!
Emotional Bondage
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
Awaken with the feeling of emotional bondage. I've made my errors in life and it seems like a lifetime of repentance...I forgive me for all my transgressions!!!
With many male/female relationships some may find themselves emotionally attached but on the extreme side being in emotional bondage.
With emotional bondage these types of chains invisibly bind a person to one another, not only chaining their emotions but chaining their thought and mind processes where they get to the point of ignoring or not recognizing the negative impact of this bondage.
I came across an old journal entry of mine that I had written when I was frustrated with my ex-boyfriend back in April of '05. I was in an emotional wreck. I was going back and forth on how he supposedly loved me, but his actions did not show it. I was upset, confused, and angry and felt rejected but then I was stoked that someone was there who supposedly loved me.
It was like a web of deceit had been spun with my emotions and the cobwebs were starting to set-up in my mind. Setting forth unnatural attachments that I knew didn't line up with God's promises. Wanting to let go, but then wanting to stay, back and forth...
One must recognize the negative emotional attachments that possibly are being set-up:
Is your relationship truly exemplifying a Godly relationship?
Do you find yourself doing and saying things based on your emotions only?
To break free of emotional bondage, one must value integrity, commit to live by it and with it, and then find the courage to dare to embrace it. A leap, rather, many leaps of faith, must be made, until she discovers she really wants to be a woman of integrity, and that she can be, and will be.
Prayer:
Lord I come to you today praying for emotional stability in relationships. Please show your people that you care for every inch of their being including their emotions. Show them what love really is and let them see it reflected in their relationships in your will Lord. For you Lord, everything is for your glory; break the ties of emotional bondage so they might have toxic emotional deliverance and self control. I plead the Blood of Jesus...AMEN

I Feel So Alone...
Tuesday, March 29, 2011
When you struggle, as we all do down life's rocky road, remember the safest place to be is in the will of God. You may need to constantly remind yourself to:
"LET GO AND LET GOD!"
Our desire to be Lord over our lives is in direct conflict with our Heavenly Father's will. You were never meant to carry your burdens alone. God sent our Savior, Jesus Christ, to show us by example, to teach us how to turn to our Father during those painful, seemingly impossible times.
Jesus cried out to His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was in agony and needed His Fathers strength. Be sure to read Luke 22:39-46, to get a deeper understanding of the importance of prayer in your life.
If Jesus, being perfect still needed to turn to His Father, don't you think that we should follow His example?
We are far from perfect, we're incapable of knowing the Lord's ultimate will for our lives. We have tunnel vision...blinders on. We see only our immediate circumstances. We don't see the entire picture from the Lord, our Creator's view. Put your Hope, Trust and Faith in Him today, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
"LET GO AND LET GOD!"
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalms 46:10
He's the only one who knows the plans He has for you, "plans to give you hope and a future."
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart, declares the Lord." Jeremiah 29:11
"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Jesus Christ."
"I am NOT Alone!!!"

There's Life in the Word

There's Life in the Word
And He said to them, Be careful what you are hearing. The measure (of thought and study) you give (to the truth you hear) will be the measure (of virtue and knowledge) that comes back to you and more will be given to you who hear.
~ Mark 4:24 ~
This is like the principle of sowing and reaping. The more we sow, the more we will reap at harvest time. The Lord is saying in Mark 4:24 that the greater the amount of time you and I personally put into thinking about and studying the Word we hear, the more we will get out of it.
"Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation." For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything (temporarily) kept secret except in order that it may be made known ~Mark 4:22~.
This verse and the one above are surely telling us that the Word has hidden in it tremendous treasures, powerful life...giving secrets that God wants to reveal to us. They are manifested to those who meditate on, ponder, study, think about, practice mentally, and mutter the Word of God. I'm learning the importance of this principle. It seems there is no end to what God can show me out of one verse of Scripture. I will study it one time and get one thing, and another time see something new that I did not even notice before.
The Lord keeps revealing His secrets to those who are diligent about the Word. Don't be the kind of person who always wants to live off of someone else's revelation. Study the Word yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to bless your life with truth.
Indeed...it's a New Day!

Today...
Today is the day of the rest of my life! Not knowing exactly what to write, but I must begin somewhere. I have a sadness that I've never identified with before, yet it brings me such peace. How can I feel such a thing in all the hurt???
I have no idea where this will take you...I pray that it will bring me joy with a true purpose on life.
