People quilt...

My prayer:

Thank you God for amazing people in my life. I have so many really GOOD people in my life. People who care. People who want to do the right thing, just because it is right. People who love, no matter what. 

Thank you for surrounding me with such wonderful people.

What God Said Tonight:

Life is like a quilt and people doubly so. Each person has a spot and a purpose. 

Each square is beautiful in its own right but more beautiful in the pattern of the quilt. People are that way too. Each person, each child of God is beautiful in their own right. But, when they are in position, with the others that I place around them, the pattern, the larger picture is even more beautiful than each person alone. 

I am a relational God and you are my relational people. You work better together. You are more beautiful together. 

I love you.

A path through it...

My prayer:

I can't think of anything to talk about but always willing to listen. What is on your mind?

What God Said Tonight:

Rocks in the river. I am making a path for you through the river. Watch for the rocks. You will need to jump from rock to rock to make your way across butt the way will be clear. 

Follow my path and I will get you to the other side. I love you daughter.

Offended...

My prayer:

Ok, I know that offenses are a tool of the enemy to wipe us out so I am working REALLY hard not to be offended. Really hard. But sometimes, I am not sure how to let go. Other times, I wonder if I really should let go or if I should move on. Maybe the offense is just a sign that I am not in the right place?

Those are my thoughts but I would really like to know what you think. And if I am supposed to just let it go, I will need some help with that.

Thanks Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Are you offended or is your pride hurt? Are you offended or have you convinced yourself that you are right and any other opinion must be wrong? Before you worry about letting go of the offense, I need you to be honest with yourself. Take a minute to see what is really happening.

Maybe, that different viewpoint has truth in it. Maybe it is not about you at all.

I love you daughter and I love your passion. Don't give that up. But, before you act, before you respond to this situation, take a minute to ask yourself the hard questions.

I love you and your life is in my hands.

Pass it on...

My prayer:

Thank you God for the opportunity to be a blessing today. One of my most favorite things is when I can truly help someone. Not just a gesture but do something that really matters. Thanks for showing me a way to that today.

Love you.

What God Said Tonight:

Broken hearts are not less capable of love and generosity. Something about the breaking gives the person a greater capacity for love and compassion. Not always right away but eventually and once there, it is enduring. No one knows better the power of a helping hand than the person who desperately needed that help in the past. 

The "Pass it on" movement, there was something that reflected the best of humans., You receive help, you receive love and then you pass that on to everyone around you. That is the original example of going viral. 

Get this love out to the world. Get my love out to the world. Let it spread like wildfire. I love you, pass it on.

Stumble, fall, recover...

My prayer:

I am very grateful God, you are lifting the darkness. Thank you from the bottom of my soul. I could breathe today and it felt amazing.

My prayer tonight is for my dear friend. You know the situation. She needs a way out. She needs favor. She needs you God like never before. I lift her up to you God. Have your way in her life.

What God Said Tonight:

Walking this road of life, you will stumble, you will make wrong decisions, you will act in ways that you will regret. 

What I can promise you is that I will never leave you. What I can promise you is that I will always turn it for your good. What I can promise you is that I will always bring you through. 

I have the answer for every mistake you make. My blood covers you, now and forever.  My grace is sufficient.

Bringing you through...

My prayer:

I pray for your will God. Nothing more and nothing less.

What God Said Tonight:

I am bringing you out. I am bringing you through. 

There is more path to travel and more challenges to endure but I am bringing you through. We have been through so much together, now is not the end. There is more. There is more joy, there is more purpose. 

Hang on and we will get there together.

Blinded by the light...

My prayer:

Have I missed the point God? In all of my logical choices over the years, did I miss the point? When did I decide that following my heart was the wrong way to go? How have I ended up with a life devoid of purpose and passion? That was never the plan. But, here I am. Now what?

What God Said Tonight:

I have much to say but I will say it with very few words. 

Your life has purpose, it is me. I am the center and purpose of your life. Saying your life is without purpose and passion is a denial of the truth. 

The truth is you do not recognize the impact your life has on others. The truth is that you have more to do on this earth. The truth is I love you more than you will ever know and that is the love story of your life. 

Look at yourself through my eyes for just a moment. You will be blinded by the light reflecting off of you. Let that same light give you the passion and the fire to move on.
