Receive His Love Today!

May 26, 2011

Excerpt from Today's Word with Joel and Victoria:

God loves you so much today! He wants you to know and experience His love. When you experience something, it becomes real to you. You “own” it, so to speak. For example, let’s say you’ve never eaten chocolate before. Someone else can describe it to you. They can tell you all about the taste and texture, but until you take a bite of it, it won’t really mean anything.
In the same way, you can hear all about God’s love and how wonderful He is, but it’s not until you experience it first hand and allow His love to sink down into your heart that something happens on the inside of you. His love changes you. It builds confidence and strength in you. It empowers you to overcome temptation and to stand strong no matter what difficulty you may be facing. When you open your heart and receive His love, you will be fully persuaded that nothing can separate you from Him!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father in heaven, I open my heart to You today. Fill me with Your love so that I can know You more. I desire to experience You in every part of my being. I surrender every area of my life to You. Have Your way in me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

    Dear Kenya: I love chocolate!And every time I eat a piece of it, I want even more of it!On cake, ice-cream...I can't have enough of chocolate (laughter). Now wait a mn, I'm not missing the point. I must confess this hunger for chocolate isn't always the same every day. Some days, I want to eat more chocolate, others, I don't feel like eating much but the point is: I love chocolate and I never say no when asked to have a piece. This is pretty much how I feel about my affection with Christ. However, I refused to trust my feelings, emotions, and circumstances. I will love GOD even when I don't feel like because HE is GOD. I invite everyone to do the same before without HIM we are nothing. I experienced GOD's love since the young age. I know He is real. I saw GOD's work in people's lives. GOD is real, ppl!

    @Jessica, great analogy of the chocolate and the love of God. You make an all too real point. Yes, sometimes we may not feel like it, and He factored all of that in when he created us. He knew that our emotions and feelings may not always line up, but once we surrender and obey Him, He is able to use you to spread His love!
    Keep on loving,
    Jessica!

Thank You!

  Thank You DFA and Family   This serves as a “Thank You” to all of you who are reading this right now. Today is my last day at DFA. Although some of you were here when I came to DFA back in June of 2000, many have retired or moved on to various other assignments. Some have come after I started with DFA. I have had the opportunity over the last few weeks to execute a brief version of a succession plan. What usually takes years, I had to condense in a few weeks. However, I feel assured that the work of DFA will continue with excellence. I did not want any of you to worry about how you were getting paid, so I preferred to work until my last day and think of it as a “see you soon” rather than a "good bye". Good byes are not my forte, because they seem so final. So, I will see you soon. I will be rooting for you and know that DFA will succeed. The years and seasons have gone by so quickly. Time surely waits for no one. As a nation and state, we find ourselves still in the m...

Big Brother

Well, big brother, it's surreal as I type this message. You will always be with me in spirit. I thank God for allowing me to spend my whole life as your little sister. You fought a good fight, God was gracious to you and me as we embarked upon this journey of life.  I understand we are just pilgrims passing through on this side of Heaven. I know you are resting in God's arms now and singing with Moma and Daddy.  I will always love you from the depths of my heart. May your soul rest in peace forever! Love, Little Sis, LaKenya "Nannie", Cam, and Tony

Don't Waste Your Time...

Don't waste your time arguing with or listening to people who are argumentative by nature. Some people will "argue with a stop sign", that's what they use to say in the old days. Just ignore the noise and focus on other things that are more important. Let the small stuff go! There are many more urgent things going on that require more attention. Let us take a look at John chapter nine. Here, Jesus heals a man who was blind at birth and the Pharisees were trying to find out every thing they could to find fault in the miraculous thing Jesus did for this man. First, the disciples asked Jesus, what sin did the man commit? John 9:1 - As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answers, 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him w...

What profits a Person to Gain the Whole World?

What Profits a Person to Gain the Whole World and lose his/her soul? The soul is deemed integral or essential to consciousness and personality . As I contemplate on this thought, I have to take a look in the mirror at myself. With any evaluation made, one must first perform a self assessment , which equates to self-awareness . Knowing where you stand on a particular subject or how you feel about a particular topic, first requires some soul searching and getting to know SELF . So, I ponder and pray sometimes about the direction God wants me to take; about the decisions God wants me to make; about the work God wants me to do; about the associations God wants me involved in; about the influences God wants me to have on others; about the thoughts God wants me to write; and about the people God wants me to touch; then I pick up my Bible to read and He reveals some of these things that I ponder over. Oftentimes, I may not know where to start, but He leads me to where he wants me to g...
