In His Presence


There is such a contrasting dynamic from being in a room of people you know on the surface and being in the presence of someone you have a personal relationship with.

The conversation is different . You reveal more of your true character, deeper thoughts and pure emotions. You feel safe exposing your true self. You feel protected, valued and loved.

Time spent in Gods presence through prayer, meditation, and reading His word develops those feelings of safety, security, and love.


Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  
2 
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,my God, in whom I trust.”


Psalms 91:1-2 introduces Gods promises that come from living in His presence. He assures us that it will provide us with  protection, safety, and shelter. Being in His presence will also give us a personal confidence in Him that He will protect us and supply what we need as well as the security that this
relationship is forever.

Being in God's presence gives us confidence and security for our future.

Dear God,
Help me open my heart and spirit to recieve confidence through in you. Help me prioritize my time spent with you and develop a deeper relationship with you.
Amen

Unapologetically, G

Your Purpose is a Blessing

"...Great are your purposes and mighty are your deeds. Your eyes are open to the ways of all mankind; you reward each person according to their conduct and as their deeds deserve." Jeremiah 32:19 Have you ever considered what would happen if someone who is called to be a dentist one day decides that he wants to become a cardiologist? If you were a heart patient, how confident would you be in his ability to successfully treat you? Not very confident at all! You would be uncomfortable with the fact that he is working outside of his calling.  Now consider that this same dentist was present and in place when you come into the dentist office with excruciating pain and discomfort. Would you hesitate in asking and trusting him to help you? No, not at all!! Your confidence lies in knowing that he is operating in his calling. When you operate in your calling you become a blessing to all those God sends your way. So, if you are called to be a dentist or doctor, operate in yo...

Practice Forgiveness for a Peaceful Heart

Image
"Bear with each other and forgive one another… Forgive as the Lord forgave you." -  Colossians 3:13 Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but it’s an essential part of a peaceful and fulfilling life. When someone wrongs us, the initial reaction might be to hold onto the hurt, replaying moments of pain and frustration. Yet, Colossians 3:13 reminds us that just as God has forgiven us, we too are called to forgive others. This act of forgiveness brings healing not only to the relationship but also to our own hearts. Holding onto grudges often weighs us down, filling our minds with anger, bitterness, and stress. Forgiveness, on the other hand, allows us to let go of this burden. When we forgive, we’re choosing freedom from resentment and moving forward in peace. As difficult as it may seem, forgiveness doesn’t mean excusing or forgetting the wrongdoing; it simply means releasing the control it has over our lives. It's about finding peace by trusting that God will give us the strengt...

The Power of Listening

Image
"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." James 1:19 Listening is a gift that connects and strengthens families across generations. When we truly listen, we show love and respect, giving younger generations the wisdom and guidance they need for their journey. For the older generation, this listening brings a deep satisfaction, knowing that their experiences and lessons add value to their family and are cherished by those they love. "Lord, help me listen with a loving and patient heart. May I encourage the younger and older generations alike to see the value in each other's lives and experiences, growing together in love and wisdom. Amen." UNAPOLOGETICALLY, G
