There is no source stronger than the power of love.  We all know that hate exist, but there is something so Divine about the power of love.  It is the life source of all humans, and the center of every believers journey as a Christian. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the Bible says that God is love.  1 John 4:8 says "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (KJV)  The New International Version says "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8 (NIV)  God is so amazing it is an awesome feeling to know that someone loves us this much.  HE himself is full of love.  HE is made of love, and love comes from HIM. When I think of my life I can say that God has been there every step of the way.  No, everyone is not a Christian, and we all have many points of view. Many have turned away from the faith. As a believer I feel that I have to reach out, and love those who does not know God, or feel ...

An Ode to Motherhood Being a mother is more than just wearing a title It is a calling  It is a job It is a blessing  That is bestowed upon all women it is more than just singing your children to sleep It is more than just reading them stories at bedtime What about  the moments: When your child was born When he/she babbled his/her first words What about the moment they walked for the first time Or they had an accident on the playground What about the first time you taught her how to ride her bike Or you cheered them on at their soccer game How about all the times that she was sick And wanted you to hold her hand  And feed her chicken soup You can remember every ceremony, ball game, dance, and everything that your child has done You look for every smile and every opportunity to be there for your children You are blessed as a mother I am blessed to be a mother Titus 2: 4-5 says "So that they may encourage the young wo...

I could not seem to fall asleep last night, and I was constantly thinking of my mother, and how she exited this world.  There is constant reminder that she was here.  When I walk into her room I can still smell her perfume.  Her pillow still smells like the shampoo that she used to wash her hair.  Her clothes are still hanging in the closet, and her journal is still on the desk by the window. Mother, had a sweet spirit, and this day reminds me of her warmth and love.  We loved to sit and drink coffee on cold days like this, and she told me stories of her childhood with the family.  I had a dream that she opened her eyes, and she had a sweet smile on her face.  I have read scripture after scripture, and verse after verse that says how good God is.  Yes, the Lord is good in every way that I can think of. God's beauty is evident even in the event of death.  He comforts us, and he leads us to a place of peace.  We can trust God in all th...

God’s Blessing     I am a child of God.   God gave me destiny before I was born.   While I was in my mother’s womb God had a plan for my life.   Even though I have fallen short of the glory of God he still loves me.   While I lay in the pits of hell he extended his hand of mercy to me.   When the people decided that they wanted to persecute me God came to my rescue.   He has brought me to a place of refuge.   When my friends left me, and they turned their backs on me God did not forsake me.   Nor did he let me down.   When the money was low God provided me food, clothing, and shelter.   When the bills were due, and nobody would loan me a dime God provided me with money.   For every pain that I felt God the Lord blessed with me with comfort, and he showed me love.   God is number one in my life.   He is the reason that I exist.   I love the Lord.   He is the Lily of the valley.   It is ti...

High above the clouds There is a place that I love to soar Eagles wings Taking flight Into the sky I can look beyond what is below me Deep down in the pits of the valley I can soar high in the sky On eagle's wings Like a bird I will take flight I will fly so high beyond the clouds I will spread my wings and fly Like a bird I will take flight   Copyright © Amanda Matthews        But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
