Kissing The Comfort Zone Goodbye

Kissing The Comfort Zone Goodbye

Wouldn’t you like to make kissing the comfort zone goodbye a priority in your life? Have you ever pondered what’s on the other side of your comfort zone? One thing is certain, you will never find out until you make the decision to step out of it. Dare to step out of your comfort zone and into the places that God wants you to experience.  Dare to leave the places behind that have hindered you, caused you to become stagnant, and may have even caused you pain.  Make a commitment to pursue the joy and freedom that the Lord has prepared just for you.

Reach for more than what you have been used to having. Trust that God will help you to step out of your comfort zone.  The thought of It may seem a little frightening at first but, remember that “God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (1Tim 1:7 KJV).”  Begin to thank God for His perfect love, power, and sound thoughts overshadowing you.  Ask Him to allow you to feel His love as never before and to clothe you with His courage.

Before you know it you will begin taking steps away from that old familiar place into a new way of life. You will experience growth, strength, courage, freedom, and blessings that you never even knew existed.  So how about it?  How about taking that first step today?  Walk with the assurance that your Heavenly Father always wants what’s best for you and is holding your hand every step of the way!

 

REFLECTIONS

1.  What is the biggest thing in your life that has caused you not to step out of the comfort zone, i.e., fear, anxiety, etc.?

2.  How long do you think you have been in the comfort zone?

3.  Journal about what your comfort zone is. Write down the date that you will take your first step in saying goodbye to it. Ask the Lord to help you, and follow His leading.  Keep this scripture in mind, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this (Psalm 37:5 NIV).”

The Daughters of the Most High God Poem

The Daughters of the Most High God Poem

May is the month that we set aside a special day to celebrate mothers. Biological mothers, adoptive mothers, grandmothers, spiritual mothers, godmothers, and guardians are all given honorable mention on this day.  There are also women who have never parented children but, are just as wonderful as those who have.  One thing that all  Christian women have in common is that God is our Heavenly Father and we are His daughters.  He loves us unconditionally and celebrates us all.

“Daughters of the Most High God” is a special poem that was written as a loving expression from God’s heart to His daughters.

I pray that it will be a blessing to your spirit.  Enjoy!

Daughters of the Most High God

Carriers of life

Nurturers of the soul

Fashioned by My skillful hand

Crowned with My glory

Quickly connecting with your Heavenly Father

Receiving My divine impartations with love

Submitting to My wisdom

And unselfishly distributing it to those in need

 

Daughters of the Most High God

Filled with My compassion

Inspired by love to please Me

Engulfed in the truth of My spirit

Knowledgeable and experiencing My kingdom

Flowing in My anointing

Sending up prayers that usher in change

Providing that listening ear and responding with hope

Speaking life to things that need to be resurrected

 

These are My daughters

Heirs of salvation

Mothers of nations

Supporters of the lost to lead them to the cross

Willing to travail and willing to labor

Filled with My faith and filled with My favor

Daughters of the Most High God!

You Can’t Turn The Sun Off

You Can’t Turn The Sun Off

I’m often amazed at how brightly the sun shines in Florida. More than once, I’ve gone into the laundry room to wash a load of clothes and attempted to turn the light off on my way out only to realize that the light had never been turned on.  It was the brightness of the sun shining through the window that made such an amazing impact.  When this happened the other day I chuckled and said to myself, “you can’t turn the sun off.” I suddenly thought, “hmm, there’s a message in that statement.”

 

When I received the revelation that the Lord was showing me in this illustration He was simply saying, “you can’t turn the Son off!” Jesus Christ is the son of God and He is forever faithful and true.  His character never changes.  We can always depend on Him.  We never have to wonder if He will be our Savior one day and change His mind the next day.  It’s an ongoing fact that He will never change.  It is absolutely impossible for Him to stop being who He is.  In other words, He won’t switch up on us.  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8).

 

Let’s be intentional about patterning our lives after Jesus’ example. Let’s purpose in our hearts to consistently let our lights shine brightly for Him in all that we do.  May our characters always line up with the word of God.  And when we get off track, may we quickly recognize that our light has grown dim and run to our Heavenly Father for Him to restore us and reignite our light.

 

REFLECTIONS

1.  Is the light of Christ shining in you so much that people never question if you are a Christian?

2.  If you had to choose one thing about Jesus’ example that you are most fond of what would it be?

3.  Name some qualities that you have that shine on a consistent basis. Be sure to give God praise for each one.
