6/30/25

Good morning, Friends, 

Matthew 5:14-16 -[14] “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. [15] No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 1[6] In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

There's a a major difference between a "sparkling" ✨ versus "shining". A sparkle is an intermittent flash of light whereas, a lamp radiates a light source that is steady, constant, and continuous. 

Disciples of Christ are the light of the world, because Christ shines through us. This beacon of transformation cannot hide.You can't play hide and seek becuase it will ALWAYS BE FOUND! Christ Jesus is meant to shine 24/7 through our entire being, which gives glory to the Father.

Ever wonder why people compliment your character? Or when they talk to you they feel so encouraged and connected? Trust me, it's certainly not your charming personality, sorry 😣 . It's light source, King Jesus, shining through you for the glory of God.  Give God glory every time you are complimented for things that are biblically required for the people of God. You are empowered by, driven by, led by, directed by, transformed by, renewed by, built up by, encouraged by, strengthened by, moved by, and purchase by God!!!! Every good thing about us came from Him and we acknowledge the fact that if it were not for him, we would still be in darkness. 

Don't sparkle!!! Let your light shine, not for you but for praise of your heavenly Father. Light attracts. You may think you're the attraction, but you're not, HE is. 

So, be the beacon in the darkness, 

be the lamp in the night, 

be the match in the room!!! 

ON YOUR MARK.... GET SET... SHINE!!!!!!!!!!!! 💡 

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  
Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace

    Wonderful word! The Lords light definitely attracts and if I’m honest there are times I don’t always want what comes with that, but HE is always in control. 🙏🏾💕

Devotional Reading - December 16, 2025

12/16/25 Good morning, Friends,  Acts 4:12 - [12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. BOLDNESS! In the chapter before this, Peter heals a man who had been disabled his whole life. The crowd is amazed. Everyone’s staring at Peter and John like they’re the heroes. But Peter shuts all that down immediately. He tells them straight up: “This wasn’t us. This was God working through Jesus Christ.” Peter refuses the spotlight and points all the credit where it belongs. That’s the same bold truth behind this verse, Jesus Christ alone saves. No exceptions. No substitutes. No backup plans. Peter is standing in front of religious leaders who believed they were right with God because of rules, traditions, and family history. And Peter doesn’t sugarcoat it. He tells them clearly: none of that saves you. Not religion. Not good behavior. Not being sincere. Not choosing another spiritual lane. Only J...

Devotional Reading - January 1, 2026

  01/01/26 Happy new year and O' happy day! Good morning, Friends,  Luke 17:5 - And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith! In this passage Jesus was teaching His disciples about forgiveness, not the easy kind, but the kind that keeps forgiving even when it’s hard, frustrating, and painful. He was calling them to be patient and long-suffering with people who mess up again and again. The disciples realized real quick that they didn't have enough faith to carry this out on their own. They could've complained, threw a tantrum, got an attitude with Jesus, but the radical part about it is they didn't act fake or make excuses. They went straight to Jesus and said, “Increase our faith.” That’s a powerful moment right there! The disciples understood that following Jesus isn’t just about trying harder. Sometimes it’s about admitting, “Lord, I don’t have what this requires.” They saw a spiritual gap in themselves and knew only Jesus could fill it. Check it out, incr...

  12/5/25 Good morning, Friends,  Hebrews 11:13-16 -13 [13] All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. [14] Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. [15] If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. [16] But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. These verses talk about people in the Bible who trusted God but never got to see all His promises come true while they were alive. Abraham didn’t see the whole nation God promised. Moses never stepped foot in the Promised Land. They believed, even when they didn’t get the results they hoped for. That’s real faith, trusting God not because life works out, but be...
