DIVAS walk worthy because........

I walk worthy not because I am qualified but have been redeemed by the blood of Christ.

I walk worthy not because I deserve the shoes I walk in but have been bought with a price.

I walk worthy because love lifted me out of the muck and mire of a dead life without Christ.

I walk worthy because this life I now live I do so with confidence exuding from the bright light from heaven that smiled on me that afforded me the opportunity who once was blind but now I see.

I walk worthy having been burdened by the pain leading to my passion which is to edify, and equip other young women through the word of God that have been rejected by loved ones to learn there is acceptance of an eternal Father's love through a suffering servant.

I walk worthy not because of anything good in me, but it was my sin and the lost state I was in that a Good Shepherd laid his life down for.

I walk worthy, walking on water because I keep my eyes stayed on Jesus! My mind stayed on Him, for He alone knows the depth to which I needed to be saved from.

I walk worthy because I yielded!
I walk worthy because my spirit has been quickened!
I walk worthy because living is Christ and to die is gain!
I walk worthy because my heart is no longer calloused, my mind has been renewed!
I walk worthy for the old things are passing away and I am beholding all things that are new!

The Unlovable

Divas,
It just dawned on me after praying with my sister that there are some that need a little more love than others.  I guess what I am trying to say that there are some we ought to be more patient with considering when we fall, some of us don't necessarily bounce right back at the same rate or speed.

When I think about Jesus and how he loved the unlovable i.e. prostitute, adulterer, tax collectors, lame, blind, sick, etc.  He was willing to seek not just them he was close to but he ventured out into the highways and byways.  He went the distance to love.  Love goes the extra mile.  Truly, love never fails.

If God had not loved us just a little bit more than them we so-called trusted, where would we have been? May our love be patient because the unlovable are not easy to embrace due to the callous formed on the exterior due to the harsh criticism and judgment of the world--mainly those closes to them.

Ladies, may we show forth more love by praying that we be more loving as well as patient because again there are some that truly need it more than others.  If we take the time to be honest and remember where God met us, we will understand in full that at that particular place and time, we needed a little more love too and because of what Christ did on the cross, we were made better because of it.

Lovingly Walking Worthy Divas!

In memory of Trayvon Martin!

"Our son is your son," said Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton. "This is not about a black-and-white thing. This is about a right-and-wrong thing. Justice for Trayvon!"

"But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" Amos 5:24

Jesus had to die, but have we?

Divas, as I contemplate over the question, "Why Jesus had to die," I ask myself the question, "Have I truly died to this world and my love for it or the things in this world?"

Old things must pass away before all things can become new Ladies. Have we truly traded in our "worldly shoes" to be "women walking worthy?"

What is in your life that you have not died to? What in your life must you carry to Golgotha and allow to die in order that you be resurrected to the new you?

Ladies, as we reflect during this advent season and we recall the sacrifice Christ made for us, what if any have we made to follow him? Have we died to the unfruitful works of the flesh and death or are we yet with one foot in the world and the other in church?

May our life reflect a total surrender to the power of the Holy Spirit, walking in the newness of life afforded to us by the life, death, and resurrection of Christ! May our living may not be in vain! May every step we trod be that of worthiness and not worldliness!

In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!

Laughter.....

Ladies, laughter is good for the soul; so loosen up a little! Smile while you're at it too! How more inviting you will be to others at exposing them to the light of Christ when you use those facial muscles to smile rather than displaying an attitude!

Psalm 23

 ¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

 ²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

 ³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

 ⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

 ⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

 ⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

IF SO, THEN GO!

DIVAS!!!!!!

Put your trust in God!  As one of my great Sunday School teachers taught during one of our lessons on Trust, in order that we remember she came up with the acronym:

Trust:
TOTALLY
RELYING
UPON the
STRENGTH of
THE LORD!

And as songwriter wrote, "If its on a battlefront or in the prison walls but wherever, wherever, wherever it may be, if God says GO, you put your trust in Him!  Never limit where God may lead you when souls are concerned!  Remember, Jesus had to go to the Cross!  This land is wide and vast and there are souls yet to hear the testimony of Jesus Christ.  Be willing to Go....be willing to be the church that goes out and tells the good news of the gospel.  Everyone else has their beliefs, shares their beliefs and are unapologetic about it.  Are you?  IF SO, THEN GO!


What do you think the Lord equipped us with the power of the Holy Spirit for?
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere--in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8


GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN WOMAN OF GOD!  IF SO, THEN GO!
