humilty“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”

Ephesians 4:2

There is so much beauty in these words…

Being completely humble and gentle.. listening to each others heart’s, pain and fears..

Bearing with each other in love..

Those words make my heart sing…

Dear Heavenly Father, the beauty of Your love humbles my heart, and touches my soul..

How I pray you would soften my heart, that I wouldn’t miss any opportunities You bring to my day..  Help me to listen… love,  and pray with those needing a tender heart, and loving word….

May, we,  as brothers and sisters in Christ, be a beautiful song unto you…

Keeping the unity of the Spirit though the beautiful bond of Your loving grace…

Help us to live a life of love, drawing others into Your sweet presence , and amazing salvation…

you are all kinds of awesome 1“I myself have gained much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because your kindness has so often refreshed the hearts of God’s people…”

Philemon 1:7

Friendship…

Love and Kindness…

Father, how I thank You for those who refresh my heart…

Their beauty and kindness shine so bright..

Please help us to not get caught up in jealousy, pride and selfish desires…

Life is so short…

We truly don’t know when our time here will be up…

Help us to live purposefully, motivated to be the best wife, mother, mother in law,  sister, friend, and grandmother I can be..

Living in the light… Staying far away from the shadows of deceit…

Please, Father, don’t let our hearts get tangled up in the darkness of self righteousness..

I don’t want to get lost in the weeds of bitterness and judging others…

May I be a vessel of Your love, hope and great forgiveness…

Please use my life to refresh and love others, as You have loved me…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

“If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit,

if any tenderness and compassion, then  make my joy complete by being like minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose..

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves..”

2 Philippians 2:11

Good Morning Dear Heavenly Father,

How good is Your love, and how beautiful it is to love others…

Thank You for turning my eyes away from selfish ambitions, and reminding me that loving each other is the purest form of Your goodness…

Protect my heart from vain conceit…

Cover me with Your love…

May my thoughts and words be beautiful to unto You…

In Jesus Name, I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
