John 15:13 No one shows greater love than when he lays down his life for his friends. (ISV)

I am madly in love with Jesus like never before. If you spent a large part of your life searching for love in all the wrong places, through all the wrong means and in all the wrong people, until you found out that it is only Jesus that could fill that void; you'd understand what I mean. I remember times in my life when I was literally down and out; I had nothing going for me. I failed out of physical therapy school, my longtime relationship crashed, I had no job, the people that I called friends disappeared, I barely had enough money to eat and pay my bills; but GOD! 

He was always there, cheering me on and comforting me. He reminded me of his love for me constantly. Even when I tried to fight it, he didn't let me go. Even when I tried to ignore him, he drew me closer. It was when I finally let my guards down and allowed him to be him and love me that I found a reason to keep living. It was in my time of surrender, that I discovered him and in turn discovered me. It was in this time that I discovered my purpose and it all made sense; there were some things that I had to grow through in order to fulfill destiny. There were also some things that I didn't have to subject myself to; but the good news is that he caused all things to work out for my good.

JESUS IS MY FIRST LOVE!

*If you have no idea what I am referring to, you're missing out! Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart; all you have to do is let him in [Click here].

If you have experience his love, why don't you just take some time to thank him for his love today!

Thanks for reading! God bless you!

With lots of love,

The Secret Place

Psalm 91King James Version (KJV)He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty

Our father has a secret place, it is reserved for his beloved ones. A place void of fear, hurt, pain, lack, disappointment, etc. It's a shelter..a safe place...a haven, it protects us from everything that is not of him. It is a place of comfort, a place of authority, a place of honor, a place of deep, passionate and intimate fellowship with the father.

You may be wondering where this place is. It has no physical address, there is no physical location for this place.

The secret place of our father is at the center of his love, This secret place is his LOVE. We are protected from fear as dwell in his love (1 John 4:18), in the secret place of God's love we have victory (Romans 8:37-39), in this place we have access to eternal life (Ephesians 2:4-5; 1 John 4:9-11), in this place there is safety (Zephaniah 3:17), in this beautiful secret place we can proudly and boldly declare that we are true sons of God (1 John 3:1).

This place is available to every believer, it is your decision to either pitch a tent there or go in and out of it. However the key to truly enjoying the benefits of this secret place is to dwell and abide there. To dwell means be settle, reside, lodge, stay or be housed. Abide means to obey, follow, adhere to, stand by, uphold, or to conform to. It is God's Will that we settled down and live in his love. It should be the only place that we desire to stay, our resting place. Anything outside of God's love is not safe, it will harm you. 

John 15:9-10King James Version (KJV)9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love

The key to abiding in this secret place is to walk in love: Love God absolutely (Matthew 22:37) and love others wholeheartedly (John 13:34-35).

Choose to dwell and abide in God's love today, in this secret place you are untouchable!


Confession: In the name of the Lord Jesus, I dwell and abide in the secret place of the most high and dwell in the shadow of his love as I love God and others unconditionally. Amen

Prayer starter: Heavenly, I pray for the wisdom and grace to love you and others in Jesus' name. Amen


You're blessed!

He Cares

Happy New Month!!! 

I don't know about you but I'm excited about this new month. I know that God has great things in store for you and I!

I got a text message from a friend yesterday that made me think long and hard. She informed me that one of our High School colleagues had passed away. I was sadden as the details surrounding his death unfolded. I wondered to myself, what if he knew Jesus? What if someone told him that Jesus is real? What if someone told him that Jesus loved him? Maybe he knew at one point but needed a friendly reminder....

Here's a friendly reminder to you all today, God cares...

1 Peter 5:7 King James Version (KJV)

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 

Psalm 55:22 King James Version (KJV)22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

God cares about every minute detail of our lives. He never takes his eyes off of us. He is ever present, even when we don't "feel" him. He is concerned with what concerns us, he understands ever hurt, pain, disappointment, etc (Hebrews 4:15). He knows that we have needs; even before they arise he has already made provisions for us(Matthew 6:8).

Attempting to carry something that weighs more than you will led to you loosing your balance and wobbling all over the place. You're up one moment and back down the next moment. You'll find yourself struggling to stay grounded unless you receive help. Getting help from someone who weighs more than you and can in turn carry what you were struggling with relieves you of stress. You'll be able to regain your balance.

Human beings were not designed to bear burdens, we were created to live totally dependent on God. In this present society, we see an increase in cases of depression, suicide, and other stress induced diseases. Why is that? It's a result of man getting to the end of himself, and loosing control of his life. When Jesus left the scene, he didn't leave us to fend for ourselves (John 14:16-18). He promised us 24 hours a day - 7 days a week - 365 days a year of divine assistance (John 14:26). We don't need to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders because God already has the whole world in his hands.

God is our father, he created us and he is our source and sustainer. If you loose sight of this, you'll find yourself trying to fill his shoes which is impossible. He knows what you need to have a fulfilled life and he's more than willing to give it to you. All you have to do is play your part which is to believe him for it and he'll play his part by giving you what you have enough faith to believe him for.

Yes it's okay to desire houses, cars, wealth, a spouse, children, stylish clothing, etc. They were created for us, however we were not created for them. People miss it when they believe that they were born to work for things, things were designed to work for us. The desire for this things shouldn't become what drives us, living a life of purpose and oneness with our father should.

The father cares about us absolutely, we are the object of his affection, the apple of his eye, his love for us is absolute, we are the beloved of God (3 John 1:2). We are always on his mind, even the angels marvel at the love that God bestows on us (Psalms 8:4). Believe in the love of God, don't carry any burden, don't allow cares to overwhelm you, don't worry, he knows what your needs are (Luke 12: 22-28). Just ask and believe and you'll have it (Philippians 4:6), then patiently await their manifestations (Hebrews 6:12).

You're blessed!
