DON'T GET ANGRY OR UPSET ABOUT ANYTHING JUST TRUST IN GOD'S LOVE TO SEE YOU THROUGH



Our attitude is our choice. The child of God remains sweet, Loving and trusting. They know that their Father is Love itself. He would not allow anything to happen to them if it were not for their own spiritual benefit.
In this world we are just traveling through. Be happy here because it will be worth it all when we get to Heaven.

Matthew 5:39 - But I tell you, don't stand up against an evil person. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other cheek also.

Prayer: 
Dear Father bless me with a sweet and harmless disposition and a gentle spirit. Help me to be faithful and trusting in Thy Love, regardless of the things that the world does to me or thinks of me. If anger and hatred try to arouse me, help me not to be angry nor hate, but give me Divine Wisdom. 
Amen

BE LIKE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN A STALE WORLD


Light and fresh air have correspondence to the Truth from Love.
Darkness, smoke and stale air refers to confusion.

God is Love and His children are the children of Love. Jesus said you are His, "If you Love one another." God's children are the lights of the world and the fresh air of the world.
Love and Goodness are the air fresheners that wipe away the stale odors of the confusion.

Do good to all, even as God is good to all.
Proverbs 25:21 - If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink.
I Thessalonians 5:15 - Be sure that no one pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to do what is good for each other and for all people.
Titus 2:7 - In every way be an example of doing good deeds. When you teach, do it with honesty and seriousness.

Prayer:  Dear Father as You have given Love and forgiveness freely, let me also give to others. Amen

Cling only to The Cross of Jesus!

I have had this dream. In this dream myself and another were given total freedom. This freedom was only through the Cross of Jesus.


There was an enemy to this freedom. He hated the light but could not take it from us. The only way to destroy us was to use trickery to convince us there was more freedom without the Cross - without our


Jesus.


We were led to a place where one person, in prison was so filled with light, that even in isolation GOD's LIGHT penetrated the night and many saw Jesus' freedom through the one person in prison.


Children, do not trade your Cross for ANYTHING ELSE! Hold fast only to Jesus. The enemy waits, and will tempt with whatever thing or person or substitute he may find. DO NOT FALL FOR IT! Stay in Jesus!


Stay in the Cross! There is pure power, pure freedom, only in the Cross of JESUS!


In His Love,


Leslene

PATIENCE

Patience is a very rare virtue in these days. Government and commerce all run on an endless treadmill of deadlines-getting the product out or the service delivered, no matter the cost. God, on the other hand, who made each one of us and everything in the world has no deadlines to meet. He has the time to shape and mold us into the unique form of Love He intends. Just as a newborn baby cannot become a mature adult in 24 hours; so we must be patient with ourselves and our brethren.

Each experience we go through provides learning and wisdom for our spiritual development. Patience is the rudder that guides our ship in stormy seas to safety in the harbor.

I Corinthians 13:4 - Love endures long and is patient and kind...


Prayer: Dear Father help me to be calm and at rest as I wait on Your Divine perfection in me. Amen

Just a Reminder

Dear Friend,

As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to me,

even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday, but I noticed you were

to busy trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to work. So I waited.

When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy.

At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do except sit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet, and I thought you wanted to talk to me, but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip.

I watched as you went to work and I waited patiently all day long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to me.
I noticed before lunch you looked around, maybe you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn't. That's okay, there is still more time left, and I have hope that you will talk to me even yet.

You went home and it seems as if you had lots of things to do. After a few of them were done you turned on the TV. I don't know if you like TV or not, just about anything goes there & you spend a lot of time each day in front of it, not thinking about anything, just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you watched TV and ate your meal, but again you didn't talk to me.


As you did your homework I waited again, as you did what you had to do. At bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your family  you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time. That's okay, because you may not realize that I am always there for you.

I've got patience more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you how to be patient with others as well. Because I love you so much, a long time ago I left a wonderful place called Heaven and came to Earth. I gave it up so that I could be ridiculed and made fun of. I even died so you wouldn't have to take my place. I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, a prayer, a thought or a thankful part of your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.

Well, you are getting up again and once again I will wait with nothing but love for you hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day!

Your friend,

Jesus

Healed And Whole

One day I dug a little hole

And put my hurt inside

I thought that I could just forget

I'd put it there to hide.


But that little hurt began to grow

I covered it every day

I couldn't leave it and go on

It seemed the price I had to pay.

My joy was gone, my heart was sad

Pain was all I knew.

My wounded soul enveloped me

Loving seemed too hard to do.

One day, while standing by my hole

I cried to God above

And said, "If You are really there --

They say, You're a God of Love!"

And just like that -- He was right there

And just put His arms around me

He wiped my tears, His hurting child

There was no safer place to be.

I told Him all about my hurt

I opened up my heart

He listened to each and every word

To every sordid part.

I dug down deep and got my hurt

I brushed the dirt away

And placed it in the Master's hand

And healing came that day.


He took the blackness of my soul

And set my spirit FREE!

Something beautiful began to grow

Where the hurt used to be.

And when I look at what has grown

Out of my tears and pain

I remember every day to give my hurts to Him

And never bury them again.

Love

Leslene

My Decision

I have a decision to make--

what will I do?

I'll humbly bow my head,

dear Father, and bring it to You.

I know You'll show me

the thing that is right,

It may be tomorrow

or it may be tonight.

I want to serve You

and do Your will,

I would like to go boldly

but I'm timid still.

I'm not afraid,

that's what I say,

But what if I

choose the wrong way?

You've promised to lead me

and I know it is true,

But how Blessed LORD,

will I know it is You?


I trust You to show me

and rid me of doubt,

Keep me and lead me

and make it work out.

I feel calmer now,

I know You are here,

You'll show me the pathway,

each step will be clear.

Forgive me for wanting

to see far ahead,

And help me follow You

each moment instead.

Thanks for Your strength

and Your wisdom too,

And for teaching me daily

that I can trust You.

I know that the moment

my decision is due,

That you'll tell me plainly

what I should do.

Love

Leslene
