This is a picture of the devotion book I use each morning and when I picked it up this morning I realized how thick it was on the left side. This represents months, weeks and days that I have been blessed to live under the Lord’s love, mercy, compassion, provision, protection, and walk in His Divine Presence!!! This world is spinning out of control, but each day I awake I have to say, “Lord you are still large and in charge” and it’s not about how I feel but it is all about what I know; and that is I can go to Him and find comfort and direction going forward. A song: I will remain confident in this; I will see the goodness of the Lord! He is Sovereign over global events; still in control. I learned early on in my life in Christ about the Sovereignty of God and that is I must keep Him between my problems and me and He will only allow those things to filter through that will mature me in Him. Lord I Trust You!!!!

Jacqui’s testimony, an encouraging word or sermon bites – all inspiring.
It was in 1973 that the Lord saved me in a traditional COG, but I loved attending the Charismatic home Bible studies and going to Blue Mountain with them for special meetings. They sang from the Word of God and one of the songs was taken from Lamentations 3. the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end. They are new every
morning, new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness O Lord. Great is Thy faithfulness.
I would sing this song and cry many tears. His steadfast love will never let us down and never let us go. When Dr. Terry Cross came to Pastor my home church he taught powerful messages on God’s love. I was struggling with some things and of course the enemy was saying “you can’t make it.” One Wednesday night he taught on loving kindness, the Hebrew word “hesed.” Wow, the lights came on when he said, God has a stubborn love toward us and will not let go. From that night until now I know I’m loved when I’m right or wrong, weak or strong, mountaintop or valley. His love is unconditional, unfailing and everlasting! I often sing this song in my devotion time know love will always find a way, especially during these challenging times I have Hope!
Here we are once again remembering what happened on 9/11. I was still living in NJ and was going to the Newark NJ to pick up my spiritual daughter from the airport. The report came on my car radio about the twin towers. When I drove over the bridge I could see where the first tower fell and then before my very eyes I saw the second one come down. I had to leave the airport without my daughter praying and crying on my way back home. I heard the Lord say, “ every nation that forgets God will be turned into hell.” You would think America would have gotten better, but we have gotten worse. People turned to God for “ a hot NY minute. Lord I cry for mercy in the morning for our nation! So, here we are again where the Lord is trying to get our attention in and outside of the church.
