Companionship:Needed or Necessary----Help Desk

It's nice to have company but every now in then, don't you just want to be by yourself. I found that when I wasn't married, I could lay before God and pray all night if I wanted too. Now, I have to be mindful of my husband's needs. So in reality, the cares of the single woman really should be centered around how she can please the Lord.

I know, everybody does want a little company every now and then. I know people who don't even like to sit on the toilet unless they're talking on the phone. So can you see how company can get in the way of meditation and prayer. It's those moments that you're all alone that you can really get a word in to God. I tell my members to take a bible in the bathroom. You're always searching for something to read while you're there. Why not take the time to read your word?

Now if you're going to be a companion to someone, please be a good companion. The bible says, "In order to gain friends, you must show yourself as a friend." There's nothing like good companionship. Good companionship is those folks who God has sent into your life; whether it's a husband, a guy friend, or a girl friend. Successful relationships are built upon love. So successful relationships are built on Christ; because Christ is Love.

Christmas Day Wisdom

Christmas was delightful. I learned a valuable lesson today.....my kids are almost grown and it's time to start letting go. I remember when they use to run to the Christmas tree to open presents, now they stay in bed until almost eleven and drag to the tree.

As I'd always hope that the true meaning of Christmas would be forever etched in their minds, I never thought that the valuable time we shared together on this day would be deminished. Then I thought, there was a time when I raced to my parent's house, now I'm just as happy sitting at home with my own family. Then, it struck me, one day they'll too have families of their own and coming to mom's might not be as important to them either.

So I prayed, God, thank you for the birth of your Son Jesus. I even thank you that He gave the example that those who loved You were His family. So, with this, I thank you for extended families because truly those who are in fellowship with you are my brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and fathers through you. Then I prayed, teach me how to let go of those near me. They are my children and I've done as you required....I brought them into this world, I taught them the importance of obedience, I taught them who You are and that they should love You with all of their hearts, I taught them to respect others, I taught them to love everybody, and most importantly, I gave them back to You.

So when they stop coming home, when the tree stop covering gifts, when the tree no longer goes up....I know that I am the tree. I was outside, and You saved me and brought me in. I was dark and Your light brighten me up. I am fully decorated, now in good deeds, but the glory belongs to You. I've beared my fruit, and it's time for them to branch out, and me to bear in other places. I cover no gifts, because I'm sharing my gift with the world.

"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except ye abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing." John 15:2-5

Special Holiday Message----Help Desk

With the economy like it is this year, many are really going to celebrate the season like it was meant to be celebrated. What do you mean? I believe that this is the first Christmas I've experienced in my life where it's going to be about the love you give to one another, and the celebration of the Risen Savior's Birth, instead of about how much money you spend on a gift. Some don't even have jobs right now, nevertheless, money to spend on gifts that sometimes are never worn or used.

So, to those who fall into this category...Don't feel bad! The Christmas Spirit is meant to be about love. Love doesn't cost you anything to give. I have always told my children that Christmas represents Jesus' birthday and not theirs. So, I made them tell Christ what they were giving Him in the year to come, I also allowed them to give gifts amongst themselves and then find something to give someone else. It didn't have to be expensive. It could be a picture they drew. Because truly I believe that if you give, it will be given unto you. Whether it's money, time, love, kindness, kind words, just give something. But remember first to give to Christ. Make a promise to give more of your time towards helping someone else. Make a vow to spend more time in worship. Now if you aren't going to stick to the vow, don't make it. It is better not to vow than to vow and don't do it.

Remember Christ lives in you. People see His light shining through you when you do what He would do, give like He gave, and love like He loved. Have a Happy, Spiritual, and Merry Christmas.

Be Blessed!

Has the world ever tried to catch you in it's grips, destroy you, and cause you guilt and shame?
Well, if it has here's some good news for you......Nothing matters except for who you've decided to be and become. It doesn't matter that you were almost tangled in a web of sin. It doesn't matter how enticing the stuff that almost took you in. All that matters is that you didn't allow the enemy to win.

Satan's main objection is to take God's daughters and get you caught up. Caught up in everything but the right thing. You have got to realize that greater is He who is on the inside of you than he that is in the world. No weapon ever formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against you in judgment shall be condemned. This is the assurance from God that no matter what people say about you, He knows you and He knows everything about you.

Be happy that you are who you are. Be excited that you overcame the enemy and sin by just deciding to say, "NO!" Fight to remain kept by God! Deny your flesh of worldly things. Remember whose you are and the authority that rest on you to defeat the enemy. Fight the enemy with the word of God. And be eternally, emotionally, and physically blessed.
