MSG of Hope

The book of Job teaches us that we can trust GOD, his purpose, wisdom, and goodness even while we may be going through great suffering or trials. 

Our understanding of our circumstances is limited at times and we should not lean on our understanding but trust that GOD is working out all things for our ultimate good if we are among those who love him and have been called according to his purpose.

Good times and difficult times have the potential to work for our benefit and conform us to a more perfect image of C...

Today we are reading from Acts Chapter 10 and part of  Chapter 11. 

This reading is about Peters vision while in a trance like state where he saw something resembling a sheet being lowered from the sky with a variety of animals on it.  

Previously, I had not understood the meaning of this vision for myself. I had been taught it meant that Yehovah GOD changed his previous dietary directives for mankind and we could now eat whatever meat we wanted.

After examining these scriptures for myself, I now understand and accept what I believe is...

Today we are talking about taking our mask off.
I'm not referring to the mask we began wearing in 2020.
The mask I'm speaking of is the mask we have hid behind for years, the mask of pridefulness.
This mask is how we portray ourselves to others as the person we want them to "think" we are, not the person we truly are.

I am used to getting what I want when I want it.

I have lived life assuming everything I need or want will be available to me on a whim. That, every day I'm given life will be the same as the day before it.

However, we all NOW know how quickly and unexpectedly our complete world can change. 

For goodness sake the thing I thought the least about in my wants and needs prior to this time, was toilet paper!, but now it too, has become a precious and rarely found commodity!

Surely others must ask themselves this question and like me, desperately seek to have some assurance on the most important part of life which is our death, because life is short but eternity is forever!

I was raised attending and being actively involved in church my whole life. I feel I have tried to be a good person each day of my life by treating others the way I would want to be treated, by helping others when I have the resources available, attending church, and just generally trying to be a good person.

But...

Because I love to eat (and you can tell that if you looked at me) I want to talk to you about food. So if you will allow me, I will start at the beginning.

I'm not sure exactly how I came to think like I do now about food and food insecurities. In my adult life and spending a few years as a single mother of three we definitely had times that there was little food to choose from and no money to obtain any.

I thank GOD for other people who had somehow...

Today I want to talk about grace.

I found some vitally important scriptures (in my opinion) that we should all take time to think about and use them to apply in our lives so that when we stand before our GOD (Yehovah is his actual name) to answer for how we lived our lives, we won't be condemned to the eternal fires of hell.

So let's do this.

Do you hold any grudge against yourself or someone else?

Merriam Webster Definition:
Grudge: to give, do, or allow (something) in a reluctant or unwilling way: to dislike or feel angry toward (someone) for something.

I tend to internalize and beat myself up for things I've done that are wrong or mistakes I have made, or in areas where I failed at something. I was trying really hard to do well, but sometimes I carry the guilt, shame, and disappointment around with me like a school girl with a loaded down backpack.

Today I want to talk about something that has happened to me many times and maybe it has to you as well.

Have you ever eagerly set out to meet a friend and you genuinely want to find out what's going on with them since you saw them last because you have missed their company, but you also have a desire to have that rendered back to you and them show a genuine interest in you and what you have been up to and get their input or advice in your life because you respect their opinion?<...

Today I want to talk about how important it is to choose the right friends. The people we choose to hang out with.

In times past I have spent way too much time caring what other people thought of me and have been guilty of choosing friends by the way they made me feel or because I thought they were cool or they were popular and I had a lot of friends.

I sought attention and self-worth from what others thought of me so much so, that at times I did or said things I...

I woke up very early this Saturday morning. I felt as though I needed to spend time alone with GOD, like he wanted to tell me something or for me to do something. It started yesterday morning actually. 

I had prayed that GOD would use me that day to do something meaningful for him. I started the day strong working on a variety of things I had on my to do list for this podcast outreach. But last night as I was about to fall asleep I realized I had gotten majorly distracted and felt disappointed and t...

Have you ever done things for the church or for other people to impress them, so they would see you as a “good person”?

I want to talk about something critically important to everyone on the face of the earth (in my opinion) and I will explain as I share.

Today I want to share a story from my childhood that I remembered today.

It is about a time when I chose to let jealousy consume me and in turn it caused me to respond in negative ways as I allowed my emotions to rationalize and dictate to me that she deserved being beat up. 

It's a story I am not proud of, but one that needs to be told.

Do you ever feel like you are a fly on the wall? Like your observing what's going on in a room but you don't really belong there?

So many times I feel like I don't understand anything or any body in this world today. I feel like I am an alien here on this earth, that I don't really fit in, and at times can feel utterly alone in a room full of people even while engaging in activities and laughter. 

Let's consider some scriptures to help us to possibly understand why we may feel t...

Do you remember the children's rhyme from when you were a kid "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”?

My mom had shared it with me when I was young and I remember that it was my bullet proof vest if you will.
I would recite it to myself at times when I felt someone was being less than nice with their use of words.

This rhyme helped to influence me to ignore the taunts from others, to remain calm and rise above it by continuing my day as...

I'm sure you have noticed we have quickly become a society of offended people. Every day as you listen to the news you hear hate crimes, of this group or that group of people being offended or feeling left out, of grudges being held, and offense of peoples words.

Today, I am not going to share any of my own commentary, but simply read the word of GOD (Yehovah) for his word is alive and working. It is sharper than the sharpest sword and cuts all the way into us. 

It cuts deep to the p...

How do we overcome the feeling that our prayers are not being answered?

Sometimes we loose hope that the darkness in our lives will ever get any better because we don't yet see any change to our situations.

I'm speaking this into my own life and it's darkness as I'm feeling overwhelmed today and I too am searching for answers to my prayers.

So together, let's get some help and hope for our day as we look at what GOD (Yehovah) has to say about these things because he has always been the...

I stumbled upon an old facebook post I had posted back in Aug. 2013. It was about all the good things GOD (Yehovah) has already planned for us, but for some reason we aren't seeing them materialize in our lives and we get disappointed.

We let negative thinking go on in our heads and before we know it (we find, our actions) follow that negative thinking and we end up we digging ourselves into an even deeper mess leading to even more discouragement, more frustration, and never finding our treasures in life because we're buried under bad thinking...
