Good Afternoon My Love

 Isaiah 43:1-4 (The Message Version)

But now, God’s Message,

    the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,
    the One who got you started, Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.
    I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
    When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you’re between a rock and a hard place,
    it won’t be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
    The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you:
    all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
That’s how much you mean to me!
    That’s how much I love you!
I’d sell off the whole world to get you back,
    trade the creation just for you.


That's how much God loves you and I love you just as much. From here to the moon and back. I choose the message version because it starts with "who made you in the first place". That's black girl attitude. You are not happenstance, you are deliberately here at this time and place. We use the word love all the time. in songs, prayers and just as a general greeting, but remember back when you first heard it from God and you knew he meant it. Love is real and God is real, your drama will be over and it will be because of God alone. He's not ready for you to leave me yet. It just wouldn't be fair. Be blessed My Love and be a blessing. Keep your head and heart up, you are truly loved.

Hello My Love, Hello

 Returning Home, Returning to the Family. I’m sorry. I’m confused. I thought you wanted distance. I will be calling tomorrow in hope that someone actually turned in my glasses. I left them on my chair and when I went back, they were gone. God is good and I’m believing that good is in my future. Some caring individual must have turned them in. I was wrong for leaving them. I have a whole summer ahead of me.

Good Morning

 L uke 8:11-15 New International Version 11  “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.  12  Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.   13  Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.  14  The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.   15  But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop. Taking care how you listen. I ask God to guide me to his truth and keep my mind and heart open to what he has to say. Let me not let the worries of this world choke me. I wa...
