Soul Sweetness


Soul Sweetness

Seems these days I am always reading.  Reading a blog, reading an article, reading a book, reading the Bible, what does it all mean?  What do you do with all the information?  I would love to be able to write and keep the attention of the reader, yes that would thrill me.  There are so many books where the authors keep you twisted and entwined in their thoughts, their words and imagination.  What will happen next?  

The reality sets in, it is just another day.  What was special about today?  Was it special because it flew by so fast, because I lost all my work and had to start over?  Was it special because I could have used another hour to finish my tasks?  What keeps you balanced when you work for hours and then loss it all?  

No, nothing was missing!  It was a day filled with soul sweetness.  A Philippians soul day.  What is a Philippians soul day, you might ask?  A soul determined to dwell on the good, the lovely and the positive rapport of another soul.  You can make your reality whatever you want it to be.  You can determine your thoughts, you can decide to recognize all the gifts around you or you can say, it is all missing! It is your choice.  Maybe the second time around it will be sweeter, it will be better?   

I have been given a gift, filled with many gifts, yet another day filled with grace!

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, lest any man should boast.  Ephesians 2:8
Fight the GOOD fight!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart!

Day 3 - Revealing the Heart  Can we let truth speak louder than our feelings?  The longer we speak, read and live truth, our feelings will need to agree!  While reading my devotional today in (Ephesians 3:12) it talks about having courage and confidence in Christ.  The word used in the text was unreserved.   I wanted to look up the definition.  And as I read it, it created this boldness in my heart while I read the words out loud. You may want to try doing this yourself.   It started with unconditional, unqualified (no qualification required) without reservation, unlimited, categorical, unequivocal, unambiguous, absolute, complete, thorough, wholehearted, full, total and undivided.  This is God's love, his love is complete and unlimited.  There is only one way to interpret it, clear and concise.  It goes on to say in ( Ephesians 3:17) by faith we are rooted and grounded in Christ's love!  We often distance ourselves from the very source we need because of feelings

Day 2 - JOY

Day 2 You might think there is a magic formula in obtaining "Joy".  Relationship and resolution to have a closer relationship with the one who provides joy, it is a simple formula, but few take it.  Psalm 33:22 "Let your loving kindness, O Lord, be upon us, according, as we have hope in You."   As we claim every promise that God has given us as our own, it deposits one more gem of joy in our heart.  As we take this journey of joy together, be patient as He shows us victory in every circumstance, no matter how it looks to us on the outside of our heart.  He can give us peace from within. Keep your focus on the beauty of His creative and magnificent hand.  And before long, you will feel Him holding your hand.  "We wait for the Lord.  he is our help and our shield.  In him our hearts find joy.  In his holy name we trust."   Psalm 33:20-21 The heart of gratitude!  1.) Thank you for sharing the Garden 2.)  Another beautiful day
