Dear Blessed Ones,
In this world where glitz and glamour are worshiped more than what is real and eternal, it’s difficult not to get caught up in the quest for maintaining outward appearances. Phrases like “I’m fine” or “I’m okay” you and I use every day, but sometimes things aren’t “ok”. God knows our heart, and that’s a very comforting thing to know. He also knows our weaknesses. The good news is that He can turn our weaknesses into strengths. Think about that for a moment. Not only will our weaknesses be gone, they’ll become our strengths! Only God can do that. So, be blessed today as you open your heart to God and all He has to offer you. Peace and Love, Scott

Let Me Bless You with My grace and Peace. Open your heart and mind to receive all that I have for you. Do not be ashamed of your emptiness. Instead, view it as the optimal condition for being filled with My Peace.
It is easy to touch up your outward appearance, to look as if you have it all together. Your attempts to look good can fool most people. But I see straight through you, into the depths of your being. There is no place for pretense in your relationship with Me. Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood. Talk with Me about your struggles and feelings of inadequacy. Little by little, I will transform your weaknesses into strengths. Remember that your relationship with Me is saturated in grace. Therefore, nothing that you do or don’t do can separate you from My Presence.
1 Samuel 16:7 7But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart”
Romans 8:38-39 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
