“Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-7

This is agape love. The kind of love we are studying this month, God’s love.  It is so refreshing to learn about the love that all our hearts yearn for:  His kind of love.  What His love is and what it isn’t.

 I hope you enjoyed writing out the letters to and from God today in the study guide!  Here are copies of mine to inspire you!

 I have discovered a powerful truth in my life lately–the greater we understand how much God loves us, the more we are going to love Him in return.  It is that simple.

He led me to write “Love Letters From God.”

It’s a 4 week bible study based on the 4 dimensions of God’s love in Ephesians 3:18:

“May you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should,

WEEK 1 -how WIDE,

WEEK 2- how LONG,

WEEK 3-how HIGH,

WEEK 4-how DEEP

GOD’S LOVE REALLY IS.

Click the buy button above to purchase it for $10.  It is 83 pages.  Each week has 5 days. Each day consists of passage questions, personal input from myself, a Love Letter from God, and a Love Letter to God.  The letters are personalized scripture that  you write out. Much like the “Write it Outs” from #Refocused.

This format gets you prayer journaling God’s Word everyday!  You are going to love it!

If buying the study prevents you from joining us for any reason, let me know and I will gift it to you.

I’m excited to also relay that a portion of the profits will go directly to orphan care in Haiti!

 

Once you buy your study, I’ll put your name in a drawing for a free journal bible I’m giving away. I’ll pick the winner Monday at 8:00am! 

Get your name in a second time for sharing the link I post on Facebook. 

A third time for Instagram. 

A fourth time for Twitter. 

Spread the LOVE! 

God’s Love! ❤️

Starting Monday, I’ll be blogging about it here, and discussing it on the Facebook Group.  I hope you’ll join us!

 

I’ve missed blogging on here the last few days because I have been busy, very busy writing a powerful study for the month of February on God’s love! It will be a one click download for all 4 weeks!  I can not wait to get it uploaded and available right here TOMORROW! It will be available for download for $10, but I will gift it to anyone whom that would prevent joining us.  

 

Although I’ve been focused on what’s to come, my heart has been overwhelmed with God’s goodness as I have heard from some of you about the way He has spoken to you through his Word as we have walked through #Refocused together.  I am seriously blown away at the fact that I had so many sisters to re-fix our eyes on Jesus together for the new year.

This week’s projects will be year long tasks for me.  I have many things I want to do in my home that I feel like I never get around to! Who’s with me on that?  However, I knew that we had to, I mean had to study this passage to end our week on home and as a farewell passage to this whole bible study.

Luke 10

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.  Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

I have studied this verse many times.  Because I am a Mary.  Yes, I have found that sitting still and worshipping Jesus is my ONE THING.  But what I have had to learn through the years is how to stay in a position of worship and fellowship of my sweet Jesus in my heart and mind as my hands and feet work hard in my home and in every good work he sets before me.

Jesus knew all that frettin’ Martha was doing was not necessary. Can you hear him gently, lovingly confront her:

“All those are details Martha! I’m what’s important, and you are loosing sight of it!”

How often  I do get sidetracked, worried over all the little details that will not matter for eternity as I push my Savior aside and try to do it all.  Be it all.  Have it all perfect.

Especially during this season where I have starting writing daily.  Everyday I must refocus on Him and make sure I know He is my ONE THING.

What easily sidetracks you from Jesus being your ONE THING?

I pray that we will all remember his sweet, FREEDOM FILLING reply to Martha:

“Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be take from her.” verse 42

Mary is awestruck at Jesus’ feet.  This is it girls.  The only thing that is necessary.  The better portion.  Don’t miss it.  Don’t miss his mesmerizing  LOVE!

The way we fall more in love with Jesus is by greater understanding his love for us.  So check back tomorrow and get this study to equip you to do just that through his Word.

The upcoming study will lead you to sit at his feet everyday and drink in a new dimension of his love.  By Valentine’s Day, you will be so full of his love, you will be about ready to explode multicolored heart confetti!

I have a little parting download to help you continue to put into place the principles we have learned in #Refocused.  #Refocused Prayer Journal & Goals Template

I’ll see you here TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parting with a prayer:

As we come before Our ONE THING,

I pray over all your daughters who have participated in #Refocused during the month of January.  We close our binders asking you to help us walk with you daily to put these truths into practice, to help us refocus our eyes daily on YOU, everyday in 2016 and everyday until we see your eyes in clear sight.

In the Mighty Name of Jesus we pray,

Amen.

 

I love all the rocks in this picture.  They lay on top of the concrete foundation of the house I had the honor to help construct a few weeks ago in Jamaica.  Like I wrote about in the study guide, the foundation had been laid before we started our work. This picture was taken after we framed the house.  We wrote scripture under what would hold up her flooring.  She is LITERALLY walking around on her firm foundation of Christ’s Word now in her new home!  THIS thought makes me want to do cartwheels!

Not only is this woman walking on his Word, she is walking IN his Word.  The lady who received this home is a daughter of God.  When we handed her the keys, we gathered around inside her home, and God released a flood of his Spirit through her as she blessed us with her heartfelt thanks and a charge to continue to love others with the love of Christ.  It was amazing!  It was a sacred moment that could only be captured in the hearts of those standing upon those freshly cut and hammered boards.  She laid her foundation that day for serving the Lord in the home she had been given.  We prayed over her and this shelter the Lord had so richly blessed her with.  We prayed for the physical elements of wind and rain that would no doubt be brought in by the Caribbean Sea that sets a beautiful backdrop outside her window.

Today I asked you to examine what your foundation was.  To revisit the reasons you work so hard in your homes for your families.  It is so easy to forget the solid Rock of Christ that we stand on as believers.

I urge all of us to ask Jesus daily to refine our purpose for all this work it takes to make a house a home.  To throw off the reasons that will leave us frustrated and tired.  It’s not for our pride, for measuring up to others, for approval of our husbands, or for our obsessive compulsiveness that we are to tend to these temporary shelters.

It’s for Jesus.

It’s for his glory.

It’s through his Spirit, pouring out of us.

It’s going to bless our families.

I’m praying we will be WISE women who build their homes,

not foolish ones who tear them down, unsatisfied because we’ve built our homes on sand.

 

 As your feet walk around your homes working today, remember the foundation of Christ they tred upon! Put his word into practice and your homes will stand firm. ❤️

**Stay tuned for an exciting announcement about an upcoming bible study for the month of February!**
