Our hearts are like fields waiting to be planted
Some lack nutrients and some need to be tilled
Some have weeds and some cry out in their needs
Some hearts are broken, and some hearts are soft spoken
But the best hearts are the one’s that are humble
Because they know how to listen and receive
In order to help others when they are in need.

Our Father’s Hand
There is nothing like being molded and shaped by our Father’s Hand.
He picked me up when I was broken
He gave me hope when I could see no more
He has filled me beyond my wildest dreams
He has given me strength when I was weak
He has comforted me when I was all alone in the darkness
He never stopped loving me even when I was bent out of shape
For our Father’s hand has touched me, caressed me,
and restored me to something of a vessel that
is to be used for His glory and not my own.
I praise God for His gentle and strong hand and allowing me to live again.
It’s All About God’s Timing…
Have you ever held out from speaking the truth while doing everything you can to hold on in the love which you know in your heart? Love suffers when we don’t speak the truth, and allows Satan to suppress the love that we carry.
It is in our human nature of a loving individual to not want to hurt someone else’s feelings but when we don’t share with others what we know in our hearts to be true then we are only allowing Satan to rob us of the seeds that need to be planted.
The object in speaking the truth is learning how to recognize the timing of when to plant and how to deliver the message so that it is received. For if we plant too soon the ground may not be fertile and if we plant too late someone could come up short in the harvest.
God prepares our hearts to receive His instruction in His timing and not in our own. Many individuals have forgotten the art of planting and the importance of spreading the nutrients in the Word of God in a loving way to help keep the weeds from taking over. A seed that is delicately placed then covered with love and then nurtured to maturity will be the most productive in life.
As a plant matures, if the environment was always perfect how would it know how to stand in the storms of this fallen world? We all get blown around from time to time but the object is to stay planted and learn how to rely on the roots to keep us intact. This is why it so vital that we teach our children the Word of God and then help them develop their character in love with principles that will help them stand in the future. For nothing in this world is perfect no matter how hard we try to create because we must remember that we are not the Creator.
As a flower spreads its pollen in the wind it is never released until the time is right nor ever forced upon another flower so that it is properly received. For someone to discover the love that we carry they must witness it in our walk and this will plant the seed of Jesus in teaching others how to believe.
Love is never directed but comes in our freewill when we learn how to give and receive…amen

Teaching Our Children
How we handle ourselves under pressure teaches our children how to react in the future. It is very easy to accept something that is not right by God because we don’t want to go through the trouble of addressing the real issue. But what is this teaching our children when we speak against something but then we accept it in return?
It is vital for our children to work through their obstacles in life and if we give up when we face them why should we expect anything any different when our children encounter theirs? We must teach our children how to rely on God and act in the love of Jesus Christ to work through their adversities in life. By teaching our children how to carry themselves under pressure will help them prepare for their future. I challenge you today to set an example in your walk to help someone else when they may stumble…amen

Balancing Our Time & Priorities
It is in our human nature as we climb the ladder of success to separate ourselves from those on the bottom because we often feel that our time is too valuable to waste. This is strictly taught against in the Word of God in order for us to stay in tune with life and to make sure that we stay in touch with the people. Every single day that we are given we face pulls in all directions but one thing we must remember is that God puts every single person in our path for a reason whether it is for us to help them or for them to help us.
We must learn to balance our time daily to reach our goals in life and to maintain what we have been given. From time to time we need to check ourselves and the people we spend time with to insure that we are not only giving time to those that can give us something in return. It is amazing at the hope that can be passed to a child or even a stranger when we take the time in true love to share with them. I challenge you today to uplift someone with some time to show you really do care and to teach others when they might rise to the top how to uplift those on the bottom…amen
