Love Lifted Me – Chapter Eight; Now is the time to Believe, Narrated by Thomas E. Walker
When we are faced with troubles and tests; it is easier to allow feelings of anxiety, depression, and anger to enter our hearts. And, as a result, we make decisions that cause us to regret later. However, what if there is an easy way to find peace amid these troubles? God said He loves us and wants a peaceful, holy, and loving relationship; but the enemy sends distractions that lead us into these situations. God is our way of escape and pe...

We sometimes face difficult times that are overwhelming and very hard to overcome. We are forced to make decisions that are far above our understanding.
Yet, somehow, we make it through the decision,
struggle, or test. When we go through a good or bad situation, do we feel alone, or are we leaning on a higher state of understanding that has shown us that we are not alone? Crying out to God for strength is a reaction many

Real families can agree to disagree and still unconditionally love each other no matter the cost. Also, as a family, there are no hidden agendas or extenuating circumstances of abuse or neglect happening that a family must try and cover up or “keep in the family;” there must be accountability on all sides and with all family members for one another to ensure the cohesiveness of the family remains strong. The family also means respect and admiration for the accomplishments of growing old in the family.

Girl, know that you are of high quality and value because you are created to procreate and love unconditionally. You are whom you present to the world. Yes, there will be other people who will come into your life only to try to destroy your beauty, confidence, and joy. Do not allow anyone to steal those great qualities; remember that there is a supernatural force out there whose only mission is to destroy the woman you are to become.

The vacuum of faith expands to so many areas of your life. When we no longer have the “substance of things hoped for,” we feel empty and void of emotion and purpose. This allows that “free space” to become filled with negativity about God, Faith, The Church, and ultimately Jesus. The path to unbelief and anger begins to grow in your heart because you feel duped into thinking that you wasted your time believing in something pointless; you begin to think and feel that you control your destiny and your purpose can be inspired by other people who you find out...

Once the baby is born, parents are encouraged to provide a swaddled atmosphere for the baby to help the child feel safe and non-isolated. Swaddle has significant residuals on a child and the parent as it provides a place where the child can be watched and carried around safely.

It is crucial to identify why the joy is missing or what precipitated the absence and then find a way to replenish that emotion with another facet of joy that replaces the emptiness and deficit of laughter, faith, and joy.
Suppose the loss of a loved one is more emotional than physical, meaning that person contributed to your trauma and abuse. In that case, there is still an option to forgive and release the pain and suffering that person inflicted. It will not...

Our identity is predicated upon our past experiences of being shaped like children. Identity establishes characteristics and memories that allow us to share happiness or pain with others. How we communicate these emotions is due to the concentric circles that we have been nurtured. Understanding the importance of what or to whom we expose our lives is essential. Young girls need to be exposed to the daily experiences of their mothers when they are toddlers and young babies. The role of a mother is paramount in the early development and i...

Therefore, it is imperative to take time to individually build a stronger bond with children, so each of them knows and is affirmed of your love and support of them. Tell them, “I see you, and I like you.” Parents of twins and medical researchers have concluded in an Edinburgh University study on "nature" (genetics) versus "nurture" (environment) and which is more impactful on a child’s development noticed that nature and nurture are equally crucial to raising a child or twins.

A bad situation can push people to grow weary and numb to their neighbors' thoughts and feelings, only to seek refuge in their concentric circle. Bad conditions have the power to leave us traumatized and helpless. Alternatively, a bad situation can help us find the hope to reach deeper within the past pain...

Tonight is a discussion topic that many are talking about, which has caused many discussions over coffee, lunch, dinner, or at the bus stop. The discussion is about the Grammys' Sam Smith performance.

Reflections of Grace Outreach Ministries Inc.Inspiring others through our experiences with God.Making of a god on EarthAs men and women who believe in something greater than ourselves; we must pay attention to the time we spend engaged in certain things. Social media and other celebrities can make you idolize, glamorize, and follow them on the internet. But God wants to be first in your thoughts and thinking. Joshua tells his followers that he and his house will serve the Lord. What are we telling our peers or how are we serving the Lord? God wants our heart of worship.

How do we deal with unanswered prayer? God is spirit and those that worship must worship in spirit and truth. What is our spiritual truth?

Reflections of Grace Outreach Ministries Inc.Inspiring others through our experiences with God.Book Discussion It shouldn't be in the Church Complacency and ContentmentContentment helps us to trust, and trust gives us strength to have faith when all-natural indicators say that we should give up or everything is hopeless; however, Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Contentment helps us to go on autopilot and trust that in all things, God is in all things. We can only be content with God when we are fully involved and committed to developing our spiritual disciplines. Again, Whitney points out...

False teachings are destroying the hope of a better existence in Christ Jesus. The Covering Theology incorporates the actions and doctrine that a Christian needs spiritual covering other than the spiritual covering of God through the teaching and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many believers are held in submission and spiritual bondage under the Covering theology until it destroys the essence of liberty and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Commonalities between the Old and New Testament is without a doubt Jesus.
