🕊️ Put on Christ

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand.

Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.🕊️

Romans 13:11-14

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

All that I am and all that I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

My heart was heavy for my sins were many, but then You saved me from certain peril and raised me up upon a rock, my life has been changed forever!

In All my way I acknowledge Him and He directs my steps, he directs my path in the Way. Thank You Jesus, for saving me and putting my life right!

Jesus put me upon a ship, filled my sails with wind, He charted my course on the most amazing journey of my life!

I faced many challenges in my life and my Lord blessed me and I overcame them all. When I thought my life could never be better, I experienced the most painful challenge of all, the betrayal of my then wife, who I found out was having sex with the pastor’s son for two years, without my knowledge. Many of the members of my church knew and said nothing! 

I only found out because she was pregnant and I had a vasectomy a couple years earlier. I believed this all was some kind of test of my faith, so I agreed to continue and try to work it out together. I prayed daily for God’s grace and strength and healing.

Seven years passed, then one day she decided she wanted out. We had three children, my two growing boys and their little sister.

After the divorce, even though I saw my children weekly, She poisoned my children’s mind and made them tell me they did not want to spend time with me anymore.

I was devastated! I felt such deep betrayal and loss, I began to drink to dull the pain, I stopped going to church and just buried myself in my work and exercising to keep healthy. My heart was empty and my soul was heavy with loss.

Then I met a wonderful woman on the job, and we began eating lunch together. After several months of spending time together as friends, we fell in love and I went to church with her, she was in the choir at church and sang like an angel. I was back in church and my faith began to grow again. I felt God’s hand was upon me once again and I realized He never left my side. God restored my Faith, He gave me a new life partner, my sweet bride, he blessed us with a child and I made so many new relationships with people of faith and my family grew.

Today Lord, is a day of remembrance for my life, and how many times You have been there with me and through so many challenges, Father I am so thankful, I praise Your Holy name, Praise Yahweh!

Although I don’t see or hear from any of my children or my grandchildren, I still praise my God and Savior, I lift up each of them All in prayer daily and I mentions them by name, asking God’s hand of blessing and His Spirit’s call on each of their lives and that they become children of the light.

Thank You Lord, for Your Grace, Mercy and Peace.  

I pray Your Spirit fill me this day and direct my steps, may I shine bright today in the darkness and bring glory to Your Holy name, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!
