Reflections...

I am poised, strengthened, and at peace.

There is a common expression that experience is the best teacher. I see the experiences of my past as resources that will help me make wise choices in the future. Even an experience that I consider a mistake shows me what not to do. Seeming mistakes help me learn to trust my resilience and they contribute to my wisdom.

Devoting time to meditation, prayer, and contemplation, I make choices from an inner place of wisdom and peace. These are spiritual experiences that help me obtain a deep awareness of God that cannot be undone by any outer condition. In conscious communion with God, I understand my relationship with God and my relationships with the people in my life.

"Talk no more so very proudly, ...
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and by him actions are weighed."
--1 Samuel 2:3

"...God allows and uses this great humiliation to expose to Abraham his sin of unbelief and distrust. Yet, God does not tear down without building up again. Despite his failures, Abraham was still a prophet having power with God. How does God exalt Abraham after his humbling rebuke?" Genesis 20:7a, 17-18

If you as a child of God have sinned and brought disrepute on the name of God, then you need to do what Abraham and others have done.......TRULY REPENT. Turn completely away from sin and back to God.
Joel 2:12-13 / Acts 3:19 / Acts 8:22/ Luke 15:21

Then, as a child, trust in the patience and forgiveness of God. Let His love as a consuming fire totally cleanse and purify you from all sin. Make this your prayer as King David did.

Psalm 51: 10-12

Now, as your repentance is real and complete, count on God to keep His Word.

I John 1:9 / II Chronicles 7:14/ Ephesians 1:7

LOVE & BLESSINGS...AHAVA & SHALOM...:)

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he asked God. He said, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said:

" When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

Please send this to all the beautiful women you know today. If you do, something good will happen - You will boost another woman's self-esteem!
