LESS IS MORE

HE MUST INCREASE; I MUST DECREASE.- John 3:30

     Since 2013, I've been choosing one word that serves as my "guiding word" for the whole year. I also pray for my "One Verse" to accompany my "One Word."
      In 2015, my 'ONE WORD" was "LESS," with John 3:30 as my "ONE VERSE," I knew that God wanted me to focus more on " being " and less on "doing", as Jeses encouraged  Martha in Luke 10: 38-42: " You re anxious and worried in many things. There is need of only one things. Mary has choosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."  I also  knew  that He wanted me to serve Him more, for His greater glory.
       Little did I know that God would use the imperfect, broken me in a mighty way that year. Even before the first quarter ended, I was invited as a speaker in an online internat
ional conference for Catholic moms and to be the host of the online show on Bukal.Tv! truly, He work in mysterious ways!
      So, if you want God to use use powerfully to help others, I  exhort You: Let Him increase in you Life!



Reflection: Have you chosen your "One word" and  "One Verse" for this year? If you do ask God to bless you as you live them out. If you don't: pray for and choose them now. Then wait For God to surprise You!


Lord, may everything I think, say and do be only for your greater glory.

A prayer about the FUTURE.

A prayer about the Future. When I wonder why God  doesn't show me more of the future. O LORD, Thank you that you reveal just enough of the future to give me hope. (You tell me that, since I am believer, my future in heaven will be more wonderful than I can imagine.) Thank you that  you reveal just enough of the future to encourage me to obey. (To receive your reward s in the future requires my obedience in the present.) Thank you that you reveal just enough of the future to increase my dependence on you. (Since you alone know everything about the future, I must rely on you to lead me there.) Moving forward with just a glimpse of what's ahead is the essence of what it means to live by faith.Perhaps knowing more details about the future would be too much for me to take in, so I will walk with you  step at a time, staying within the light of your presence and trusting where you lead. You guide me with your counsel,  leading me to a glorious destiny. Psalm 73:24 ...

A Prayer about Desirability. O loving God, How long to feel wanted, Desired.Pursued. Oh, but you remind me that I am. For your word tells me that my very existence is proof of your passionate, faithful love for me. You created me in your image to have a relationship with you. You wanted me. When I was dead in sin, you gave your Son to die for me, and you raised him to life to bring me back to you.And not only that, you have given me the Holy spirit to satisfy my longing soul.Thank you, God! You eauipped me with certain abilities to use for your special purposes. When I ignore how you made me, I miss out on the very characteristics that make me a desirable person. O LORD, THANK YOU THAT YOU CARE DEEPLY FOR ME.All that is desirable about me comes from you. He loves us with unfailing love; the LOrd'S faithfulness endures forever.  Praise the LORD! Psalm 117:2  This Prayer came from the book I received to my father. 365 pocket prayer by Tyndale's exciting Web site at ww...

NEW LOOK, OLD THINKING.....

                 And put on the new self, created in God's way in righteousness and holiness  of truth.                                                                                                                 -Ephesian 4:24       I weighed my heaviest at 235 lbs. That's why I decided  to get back in shape. I exercised and ate healthy every day. After three months. I dropped to 95 lbs. my medium clothes since my old ones  were to baggy already. But I didn't let go of my extra -large clothes, just in case I need them again. Guess what? After six months, I gained back all the weight I lost.         Why did...
