When you shine with the radiance of Christ

Every good things belongs to those that do right.

Seek Wisdom - You NEED It!!

No good thing is being withheld from you

God first. First, God!

"... First, seek the counsel of the Lord."

1 Kings 22:5

First, seek God; not last, not as a last resort, not if it sounds good, not if all your friends give you the wrong answer... NO - FIRST seek God! FIRST! 
Not only will God save you a ton of time and unnecessary mistakes, but he will also be your ease and grace as you move forward with your life in confidence and strength.

Surrender the sin

"Now surrender those wicked men of Gibeah so that we may put them to death and purge evil from Israel."

Judges 20:13

Surrender (purge) the sin amongst you, and within you, over to God and let him refill your life and soul with his goodness, mercy, love, peace, grace, and favor. 
Your life truly depends on it. 

If God says it then it is true.

"You are the salt of the earth... 

you are the light of the world..."

Matthew 5:13

If God says this about you, then it is true.  You shine, you illuminate beauty, grace, and light, so show it off and 

BE YOU!

Not a fair trade, but...

“Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you.”

1 Peter 5:7

Give God all of your anxieties, worries, cares, fears, heartaches, and heartaches; in return, he will give you peace, joy, victory, love, grace… He’ll give you himself.

No, not much of a fair trade, but then that’s how much God absolutely loves and adores you my friend.

Self-controlled and alert

“Be self-controlled and alert.  Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, standing firm in the faith…And the God of all grace… will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”

-1 Peter 5:8-11

Be sensitive and open to the promptings of your heart, as those are the promptings of The Spirit guarding you and keeping you out of trouble.

The gracious hand of God upon you.

"... The gracious hand of God is on everyone who looks to him..."

-Ezra 8:22

Praying and staying in holy faith

“But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.  Keep yourself in God’s love…”

Jude 1:20-21

Praying and staying in holy faith keeps you in Holy Grace.

Glory and grace to the humble

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty right hand, that he may lift you up in due time…”

1 Peter 5:5-6

Humble yourself under God’s mighty right hand, for in doing so, God will envelop your life and fill your soul with all grace and glory.

Radiance and shine

“Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised.”

PROVERBS 31:30 AMP

Ladies, let’s radiate, shine, from the inside out for all the world to see!  God is with us.

Such great mercy

"For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him... he removed our transgressions from us."

Psalm 103:11-12 KJV

Success and Christ go hand in hand

"God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed."

2 Corinthians 9:8 NASB

As God's child, you have His grace, which means, you are sufficient and supplied to the hilt in all good things necessary to equip you to rock this world of ours.  So go forth and live the abundant life he's given you.

This is your life my friend, so live boldly, love heartily, and prosper greatly.

Turn your eyes to heaven

God's strength comes through our weaknesses

God's grace is enough; it's all you need.

God's strength comes into its own in your weakness.

In essence, The weaker you get, the stronger you become. 

-Adapted from 2 Corinthians 7-10 MSG

Good times ahead

So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There’s far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.

-2 Corinthians 4:16-18 MSG

If we can realize that our hard times are all part of God's plans for us -blessings in disguise and all of them worth every second - then life will be a lot less complicated and stressful, and hard times are all they are - simply, hard times.  For when we hold steadfast in Christ hard times are not a big deal because we know they lead to some God-blessed, amazing, good times ahead.   

Praise God!!!

Grace wins hands down

“All that passing laws against sin did was produce more lawbreakers. But sin didn’t, and doesn’t, have a chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it’s sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. All sin can do is threaten us with death, and that’s the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything together again through the Messiah, invites us into life—a life that goes on and on and on, world without end.” Romans 5:20-21 MSG

Satan leads us to death; the end - death. 

Jesus leads us to live; the beginning – life, which is Heaven here on earth and ending in Heaven above with Him in which there is no end.

God's good, good grace

God’s amazing grace removes the burden of our lack of perfection ~ His strength is perfected in our weakness’s, freeing us from the afflictions of feeling ‘less than’.  Don’t you see that the more flaws we have (and Lord knows I have many!), the more He is working, strengthening, and perfecting us.  So, let’s rejoice in our imperfections, knowing that our GREAT GOD is glowing from within.
