As I have been preparing for the Ladies Conference at church, God blessed me with these words...
I am covered in scars, inside and out. These scars tell the story of my life, they tell the story of what God has done for me. It's the wonderful miracle of life...I am using these scars to tell God's story...God who Loves and Forgives me and you...
We all have scars, how are you using yours to bring Glory to God?

Love For Each Other
" A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
John 13:34-35
The other day at church, while sitting in choir, I looked out over the congregation and spotted one of my dear friends. As I looked at her sitting their smiling, I thought to myself....I love her very much. Then I thought, how strange...I've known her for maybe a year, only see her at church or passing in a store...but...I love her, love her like she was family, love her like a friend from my childhood. What GREAT love the Lord gives to us! Love that brings us great joy, love that one could never imagine.
I find that I have love for so many people...it fills my heart with joy as I look upon someone and feel that love for them. I know that this love can only come from God, because God is love.
"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."
1 John 4:7-11
Thank you Lord for giving me just a glimpse of your love!
