God’s Grace

God’s grace is enough!!

Who would have thought that after a year (2017) of not being able to pen a book, God would allow me the ability to create and publish four books and a women’s journal within the first four months of 2018.

God’s grace is enough!

And by His power, I’ll release two to three more before taking a break.

Chile, I don’t know if he will do it but I surely know God will! God will do it!!! Check out my Amazon Page to grab a copy of these best sellers.

As always,

Happy Reading.

Daily Devotional – 5/23/18 “You’re still hungry!”

Stop trying to fit in at tables that cannot accommodate your diet. DIET = Desires, Intelligence, Expectations and Taste. If you do, you take a chance of leaving still hungry. HUNGRY = Hurt, Uninformed, Neglected, Guarded, Rebellious and Yoked. Why? Because you’re sitting in places that cannot meet the needs of what you are yearning for. Think of it like going to a restaurant with a group of folk. You didn’t pick the place and it would have never been your choice but you’re trying to fit in. You get there, look over the menu and nothing is there you’ll eat, let alone try. But hey, you’re trying to fit in. You order an appetizer of something that sounds good, only to get it and it looks nothing like the picture or the description. Two hours later, you leave still hungry but there is nothing else open and you don’t have groceries at home. (Are you following me?) When you continually sit in places that cannot or do not meet your dietary needs, you are not satisfied. This is why you leave worship, on Sunday, dressed real nice but still filled with hell. This is why you look happy but inwardly you’re a mess. This might be the reason you cannot focus. You’re still hungry.

Get this though. It’s quite possible you’re sitting at the right table but ordering from the wrong menu. You’re ordering steak, from the adult menu, when you should be ordering mac and cheese from the kid’s because you’ve yet to grow up spiritually. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 3:2-3A, “I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly.” Don’t get mad at me, I’m just the messenger. But beloved, you need to figure out why you are still hungry. Are you sitting at the wrong table, eating the wrong thing or just plain stubborn? Why can’t you focus? Why can you not do what you know God’s has called you to do? Are you still hungry because you can’t get full or are you eating, getting temporarily satisfied only to be hungry minutes later?

Daily Devotional – 5/21/18 “Grace!”

For the last two months I have been experiencing dizziness. The kind that stops you in your tracks however, you wouldn’t know unless I told you because I press through. Not because I have to prove that I am strong but I refuse to be limited by something, even the doctors cannot figure out. This morning though, I almost felt defeated. After looking the doctor in his eyes as he says, “All your test are normal,” I almost felt defeated. As I listened to him explain what it could be, I almost felt defeated. As he scheduled yet another test, I almost felt defeated. Then I remembered Paul and his thorn and I whispered, “God, your grace is sufficient for me.” As I drove, I said a little louder, “God, your grace is sufficient for me.” Please understand me, I do NOT believe this is God’s way of punishing, testing my faith, trying to keep me from being conceited or anything like this. Whatever this is, it is because we live in fleshly bodies that sometimes fail us by way of sickness. Do I claim it? No but the reality is, it may be something the doctor calls Vestibular Migraines. Do I believe God can heal it? I do with my whole heart but while I wait, I repeat “God, your grace is sufficient for me.”

I just need somebody to know today, God’s grace is sufficient for you too. Even while you’re hooked up to another chemo or dialysis machine, while you wait on word of your transplant, while you wait for God to open your womb, while you wait for your pain to reside or your sight to be restored, while you wait on the surgery or the test results; know that God’s grace is sufficient for you because His power is made perfect when we are weak. In other words, God’s strength is put to the test every time we are weak. God’s strength is evaluated every time weakness attacks our body. It’s not that God has doubt in His strength but each time you are weak, He gets to run a diagnostic test in order to prove to YOU His strength is still able. So, we cannot give up because God’s grace is sufficient for us. What is grace? An acquittal when we know we’re guilty, love when we don’t deserve it, protection when we are in our mess, a harvest although we haven’t planted any seeds, forgiveness even though we continually mess up, strength when we try to play strong and healing from a God some of us have yet to become faithful too. Grace is a demonstration of God’s power so that you know it was Him and not man. God’s grace is enough, beloved. Enough for you to keep on and not give up.
