Feb 14th Daily Reflection

Today is my last post. I have been blogging for about a year and a half and I feel that I need a new way to rejoice and celebrate the love of the Lord! If I find another daily devotion I will return to posting. I give thanks and gratitude to those who have read my postings over the past year and a half. I pray that it has added value to your life and brought you a little closer to the Lord.

Yesterday and today I have been feeling weary because going the grain of the world, constantly trying to stay focused on the Lord can be energy draining. UNLESS, the concern about the world and what the world thinks no longer factors into your evaluation process. You are only concern to adhere to the spirit of the Lord and stay focus on him and him alone. So as I switch my focus only to the Lord, my energy level raises, I am excited to take on the challenges of the world and all the negativity of it because I know the Lord will always protect me.

How is fully focusing on the Lord protecting you?

Feb 2nd Daily Reflection

Laser focus on the Lord! The past few days I have not been laser focus on the Lord and I noticed that I was a bit off. Then I started being laser focus again and I realized how much different it is to be laser focus on the Lord than simply going it on your own. There is a sense of peace and confidence that I can accomplish anything when I am laser focus on the Lord. However, when I am not laser focus on the Lord, I get tripped up by self confidence issues, I let others determine my mood and I get frustrated when things don't go my way. A laser focus, allows me to see the beauty in everything and allows me to rejoice even when things don't go my way!

How is being laser focus on the Lord keeping peace in your life?

Image having a friend who is with you all the time, someone who you can share everything with, someone who can instantly read your mood. A friend whom you can be quiet with and who lifts your spirit. That person would be an incrediblely good friend. Well, we all have a friend like that, however, sometimes we don't always become friends with that person. The Lord is such a friend and when we become good friends with him, he becomes a friend as I described. He is with us all the time waiting and excited to be with us, guiding us and helping receive his many blessings.

Are you spending making friends with the Lord?

"Trust is the golden road to heaven." pretty much sums up everything in my opinion. Trusting the Lord when everything and everyone is telling you your trust is misplaced! Trusting him when it would be easier to have doubts and act upon them. I had to have a difficult conversation yesterday with my mom and was expecting that it was going to be met with coldness, however, I prayed and trusted the Lord that everything would be fine. And surprisingly, my mom was extremely receptive to everything I said and the Lord gave me the strength to honestly express all my feelings not only the ones I thought she would be okay with hearing. What a powerful exprience which left me wondering why I didn't have this conversation about 6 yrs ago. Trusting the Lord is the path to heaven, I would say heaven on earth!

How is fully trusting the Lord changing your life?

"Let me love enfold you" - experienced that last night. Yesterday, found a note my 11 yr old wrote that was a bit distressing and I reached out to a few friends to get some guidance on how to proceed and what I found was the LOVE OF THE LORD flowing thru them which got me to a place of peace very quickly. It was as if I experienced both day's message in one. Blessings and love of the Lord flowing thru my friends which I could only exprience because of the trials of the distressing letter!

How are you letting the love of the Lord enfold you?

"....Spiritual blessings comes wrapped in trials." this is so true and I have found that when I start getting excited when there are trials, I forget they are trials and it centers me to see the blessings that are within! The more trials I have gotten, the more blessings arrive at my door. Of course, the only way to celebrate trials is to fully give myself to the Lord, unconditionally trusting him!

How is unconditionally trusting the Lord allowing you to see the spiritual blessings in life trials?
