If you are visiting  fromGraceforGlory for the first time, please take a minute to  read the ABOUT section.   I believe God has given me the ability to hear Him  —  so you can hear him also.  He calls me His Child –  but has reminded me often that these words are for ALL His children.   I invite you to listen as HIS child.  Remember always,  God loves you. †

Father, today I need you.  Tomorrow we leave for Haiti – Jim is not well.  He thinks he is getting the flu.  Father, I know you can heal him.  In the name of Jesus I ask for healing grace.  Father, hear my prayer.  In confidence I pray – knowing you have heard me – knowing you love me – and knowing you will answer my prayer. I trust you Father, above all.

Lord, Jesus, Savior and Sustainer – I need you at this hour to give me extra strength and stamina for today. The schedule is full … and tight .. and requires attention and patience, flexibility and leadership.  Father, I need your guidance, protection and love to surround me all day.  Let me never waiver from the decisions or actions you desire from me.  Bless all who will be working with me today.  I love how you love me and how confidently I can step into the challenges ahead – knowing you are so present.

Father, bless my Rodan and Fields business – allow me to serve it in your glory also – Lord, hear my prayer.

“Child, be still – you are anxious in anticipation … your mind knows the truth and has spoken the truth – but though your heart knows, it is  still racing. Let your heart rest – be calm, in assurance of my son – that ALL IS well.  Close your eyes.  Do not look at the time – but listen to the ticking clock – let it remind you of a steady and sure rhythm.  Move in that rhythm – steady and sure – confident in the love of Jesus.  Today, let everyone see that sureness in the light you reflect from your heart through your eyes.  Make eye contact – often – stop others, if only for a moment – to know the peace of my son.  Be conscious of this command  for it is easy to get caught up in the frenzy of new challenges – all new for you and for your colleagues. They will lean on you – and you must lean on me.  You have come to the right place, child, for all that you need – come to Jesus. Throughout the day – think about Him – how much He loves you…and know you are safe and loved.”

Father, you sent me to the book of Philemon – reminding me that Christ lives in all of us.  We are all the same.

Child, yes!  Celebrate your sameness and not your differences.  So often you are told to celebrate diversity – but child, that focuses on identifying your differences and then “moving past them.”

A Christ centered love sees no difference.  Celebrate your sameness … and there will be no barriers.

Speak this truth – reject the notion of diversity and focus on oneness.

Reframe the dialogue – first in your heart, and then in your world.

Read Philemon again

And love and serve the Lord.

Diversity … so close to the word Divide

Why would the world celebrate division?

The devil is clever – tiny nuances plant tiny seeds in the mind – that are like a toxic poison.  In small doses are benign – but accumulated they are destructive.

Child go and speak the truth and speak of oneness celebrated in the Christ in all of you.

Go in peace

For peace

Go in love

To love.”
