    I need to stop reacting or responding before it even happens and whatever happens I shouldn’t lose my emotional focus towards him! I have to allow God to take control and accept his favor. I am blocking his way to get into my heart by constantly worrying about something that’s not in my control but his! This word helped me to see Gods purpose for my life and also how I continue to push him away out of fear or expectations that I’ve created instead of using his word as my shield. Amen!

    Many times I open TH-cam with a broken heart just searching for something. God led me to listen to these messages about six months ago.
    I’m forever grateful for the clear Godly guidance that is given in these straightforward messages. I often laugh, more often I am somehow shocked how again each time, that the very word of encouragement I needed was said directly to my heart.
    May the Lord bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you with Love.

      I love what you just said, it is two very different things. Why, because it shows God knows before we come to him we are NOT at all prepared. So his call would NEVER come if that were the case. We MUST come to him and He is faithful to prepare our hearts for service. I mean who new anything before we sincerely came to him? So dont let the fact that you know you are NOT prepared, so dont let THAT stop you from coming to him today.

    “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” - Helen Keller
    An invitation to entertain today with fresh eyes, to empty our minds and open our hearts to what matters most.
    Life is often a pursuit to unravel its meaning, although if filled to the brim by agendas, roles, and expectations our ability to discover can be limited. And, there are some who are filled with knowing, and there minds are made up, but an unstudied view can narrow one’s vision, and obscure the ability to see the whole picture.
    Use today wisely. It’s no waste of time to pause and give witness to your current experiences and what matters most ... God’s Favor is in your backyard! 💥👏🙂💕☝️
