Love Never Fails

 I am a BIG fan of the docuseries The Chosen.  It is my favourite depiction of the life of Jesus.  Throughout the episodes an underlying theme of LOVE transcends.  After being a Christian for decades, I finally understand the true purpose of our lives here on earth.  Here it is.  Our only purpose as a Christian is To Love.  Yes, so simple.  Yet for many of us, so difficult.  In my personal experience, whenever you sit in the power of love: loving people, loving yourself, loving your work, loving your life.  Then and only then, will God's power transcend.  Love is the only answer.  It is the only way to heal a broken heart, to mend a broken relationship,  and to heal yourself.  In fact, it is the only way to bring miracles, God's miracles, into your life.

People underestimate the power of LOVE.  Love is by far the most powerful way of creating change in your life and the lives of those you love.  Often, our focus is away from love - instead we focus on worry, frustration, disappointment, and anger.  It is in those very moments that we need to STOP and instead feel God's amazing love in that situation.  When we feel God's love, we feel empowered.  Negative emotions weaken us, deplete us from the energy needed to move pass the very obstacle we are facing.  God's love fills us and give us strength.  Focus on Love because LOVE NEVER FAILS (1 Corinthians 13) .

So how do we sit in that place of LOVE daily.  First, we need to focus on the things of love.  Do you remember falling love?  How did that feel?  Were you on cloud nine, feeling like anything was possible and life was truly amazing?  Maybe you felt loved, excited, tickled, and enamoured.  This love has power.  You can feel in love everyday by remembering that same feeling.  How about the birth of your child? Do you remember the love you felt, the excitement of meeting your baby, holding your baby for the first time?  Feel that love.  You can conjure up many memories of love everyday that will help you to focus on the most powerful emotion.  So turn off the news, stop listening to peoples' complains, negativity, anger, and instead focus on love.  Simply doing this will change your life as it did mine.

Let us pray for those who need love, who never felt loved by their parents, who are looking for love, for those who hate, that they can feel our Father's love, and for those who don't know how to love that we can teach them this.

Let's focus on God's great love for us and remember these words:

"Let all that you do be done in love." 1 Corinthians 16:14

Do You Believe in Coincidences?

My life has been a rocky road for the last 4 years and during this time I decided to lean into God's goodness and grace.  I have also lamented, "Why me, when I have been so faithful?  Why do you still give me these burdens, Father?"  God reminded me that His presence here on earth is real.  On my darkest day, when I had no hope, no energy, and no sleep, I left my work depleted and completely drained.  As I was leaving, I ran into a colleague I had not seen in months.  He asked me how I was and right there in the middle of the hallway, I began to cry and tell him my story.  Well, I truly believe God sent  him to me that day because his words gave me hope.  I still call him my guardian angel. That day was the start of my healing.   So many other times God has put people in my life who share the pain I had, or people I can give comfort to because their story is my story.  God works through people.  So He will send people your way to help you heal, to give you hope, and to gi

Fall In Love - #lovingGod #heavenlydivinelove #magicinlove #healinginlove #allthingspossibleinlove #focusonlove

You know the immense magic that love provides when we focus on it.  Remember the feeling of falling love.  There's an energy that gets ignited when you fall in love.  Suddenly, everything is amazing and great.  All things seem possible and you feel like you are walking on clouds.  I love that feeling. That really is the power that love has.   You can recreate that magic without being in a relationship.  You can feel that feeling of falling in love without having a suitor or without being in a relationahip. This is how I get that feeling without relying on a man to fill me in this way. Every morning, I say, "I love you, Father."  I go deep in that feeling of love. I can feel His power work inside me when I say these words.  Now, everything is possible, everyday is brighter, and I feel filled up.  So powerful.  That's really the power of LOVE. When we focus on love, life gets better,  The sky clears, and the sun comes out. There's hope for a brighter future. "L

Do Not Be Afraid #Fear #GodsGlory #Godspower #Faith #fearnothing

 "Do not be afraid." 365 times these words are written in the Bible.  One for every day of the year.   Coincidence - I think not. Everyday, we are reminded not to be afraid and yet we still fear.  Why?  We live in a world where evil still exists and we don't need to look too far to see it's work.  Just turn on the news, listen to your friends who worry about the economy or food prices, listen to strangers complaining about others .  Doom and gloom seems to be everywhere.  But there's one question we need to ask ourselves. Are we filling our minds with evil or are we filling our minds with God? Many years ago, I chose not to listen to the news because it filled me with fear.  I am particularly sensitive so bad news really affects my well being.  As a school counsellor, my students' stories sometimes fill me with sadness.  For the sake of self care, I made a conscious decision to avoid the media.  Watching the news made me feel fearful, anxious, and hopeless.
