An Encouraging Word!

Date Posted: January 18, 2009

Today's article will be short, sweet and to the point. I really just want to encourage you today...We really need people in our life who love us enough to stop what they are doing and love on us and pet us just a little bit. Isn't there times in your life where you just want to hear someone say, "I love you?" Some one to say, "I feel your pain?" Some one to say, "it is okay that you messed up just get up and go again?" Someone to say, "I am for you and I stand behind you?" Well I want to be that person today. I want to be the one to tell you, "God loves you no matter what and I may not agree with all you do but I will still pray for you, and help as God allows." I want to be the one who gives you the extra humph when you feel like you can't make it one more day.

There is one other who will do this and more for you , in you, through you and with you. His name is JESUS and He will always be this and more to you. He will never leave you, never let you down, never forget you, never let you fall to the point you can't get up! He loves you more than anyone else ever thought about loving you. Sometimes if FEELS like He is 1000 miles away, but we do not have to go by that feeling. We can just read His letters to us and bring the FEELING of closeness right back again. So if you need an encouraging word today, and you need to feel closer to Jesus take heart! HE and I love you and that is 2 more than alot of people have! Be Blessed! God is good to us all the time!

Biography Information:

Lisa Mendenhall lives in Smackover, Arkansas with her husband of over 28 years, Chris. She has 4 grown children who also love the Lord, each serving Him in some capacity. As a teacher of the Word, Lisa, believes that she has a responsibility to use her God-given gift to teach those who have a desire to live victorious in Christ how to do so. She believes in order to live victoriously, one must get to know God and His character. His character is love. Therefore, Lisa has a heart-desire to bring people to a greater understanding of God's love. Her teachings explain that when His love is activated IN His children, it will motivate them to give just as His love motivated Him to give 'His only begotten Son', Jesus, to the world. God's wisdom does not always flow with the world's system of wisdom and His Word says, 'my people perish for lack of knowledge'. Lisa states, 'During meditation one day, I heard the word 'winnows'. With great curiosity, I learned it to mean,

'To separate the chaff from (grain) by means of a current of air. To rid of undesirable parts. To separate or get rid of (an undesirable part); eliminate: winnowing out the errors in logic. ...separate grain from chaff...separate the good from the bad...examine closely in order to separate the good from the bad; sift...' (www.dictionary.com) 'This study gave me direction and focus for my teaching. God had placed a longing in my heart to teach the body of Christ how to separate from carnal thinking and rid themselves of old ways that hinder their Spiritual growth. I desire to see them live victoriously, by the 'higher ways' of God's wisdom.'
