THE SOWER AND THE SEED

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:13-14

I planted some seeds the other day. They are coming up. Day by day. Water. Sunshine. Dirt. Everyday we sow seeds by the words of our mouths. Day by day. Confession after confession. The seeds are sprouting, our words are coming to pass, they are coming up.

The things my Mom planted in each of us children, they are coming up.  The prayers she prayed, are coming to pass. How she earnestly interceded for her babies, to be helped, to be held by Jesus, to be directed by His leading, to take hold of His hand and to never let Him go. Since we were young she spoke of the hope we have in Jesus. She believed in His power. She cherished His every word of life. She was the sower, we are the seeds. We are coming up. We are sprouting. We are watered by the Word. We are grounded in the truth. We are rooted in love. Thanks Mom for all that you did for us six kids, you faithfully loved us to Christ Jesus our everlasting strength. Now we will sow seeds and watch them grow for the love of God and the name of Jesus.

As I told my Mom one day, "Every day is Mother's day." Every day is a perfect day to hug your Mom and hug her again. Every day is a good day to show her how much you appreciate her and cherish her. Every day is a perfect day to be thankful and show her love and kindness. Do what you can for your mom while you can, you will never regret it. Bring her flowers. Mow her lawn. Buy her something special. Spend some time with her. Mothers deserve special thanks, they have spent their time and life on you... rise up and bless them!

TIME DEVOTED

When all the noise and chaos stops, then what do you got? When you cease to live for the approval of others and are no longer in competition with the best of them... suddenly you've got more time on your hands. It seems it is always a good time to reflect, review, and acknowledge what could be stealing precious time and resources and keeping us from being devoted to who and what really matters.                                                    The WORD of GOD and PRAYER. “The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the LORD will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. (Isaiah 41:17) IF WE WOULD DARE TO ADMIT IT, we are the poor and needy. We all need prayer and immediate assistance and direction and help even just to call on the name of Jesus, or pick up His Word daily. Pray for me to spend time as I should, not neglecting the little things.

DEAR CHILDREN OF GOD

As seasons change, anxieties creep in; doubts attempt to steal your peace, and cause you to second guess your decisions…slam the door on despair! Bride of Christ be aware and alert, ever watchful, remaining & abiding in Him. Open your ears, hear what the Spirit is saying to you. Do not entertain thoughts of accusations towards one another. Speak evil of no man. Realize who you are and the words of reconciliation that you have been entrusted with. (II Corinthians 5:17) Be reconciled one to another. Be reconciled to God. Reconcile all men unto God. Endeavor to keep the bond of peace. Forgive one another as God has forgiven you. Remember that He does not treat you as your sins deserve. That grace is not a excuse to keep on sinning, but merciful compassion that makes way for true repentance. So let’s get to it without delay! “GIVE NO OFFENSE IN ANYTHING THAT THE MINISTRY BE NOT BLAMED.” (II Corinthians 6:3) “Love keeps no record of wrongs.” (I Corinthians 13) “The anger of man
