#Repost @lisabevere with @get_repost ・・・ I know praying, “GOD USE ME.” sounds spiritual, but it certainly is not scriptural. Healthy fathers don’t USE their children. That’s called abuse. Therefore our Heavenly Father isn’t interested in using the ones he calls His children. 💕 Our Father loved us, healed us, redeemed us and called us His own BEFORE we did a thing! Who we ARE to God is far more important than what we imagine we could possibly DO FOR HIM. Outside of Him we can do NOTHING! Our call is to KNOW HIM before we make any attempt to make Him known. I minister but I am first & foremost His Daughter! 💗 We are not what we do we are His! Brothers & Sisters, Sons & Daughters, Mothers & Fathers, Grandfathers & Grandmothers, Our Father calls you by name. Get alone with Him. Let Him love you. Let Him heal you. Let Him redeem your past. 💗 #daughter #momto4men #siciliangmama

Going through papers & just found this prayer scribbled in a random notebook from Feb. 2016. Dating had become messy and confusing - guys ghosting, coming back and leaving again, etc. My heart needed a break and so I laid my love life down on the altar. I know this doesn’t always happen so soon, and Justin and my relationship hasn’t been without bumps and curves, but I ended up learning this handsome guy in my circles who I thought was married (he had that look about him) wasn’t and was interested in me. Our first date would happen 3/24, a month after I penned this prayer. There’s something about letting go and letting God. 💕🙏

As Sunday draws to a close, I want to share a little testimony of the power of discernment and prayer. ❤️ I'll try not to ramble on too much. 😋 So Justin and I greatly enjoy our Sunday church and taco dates—we look forward to them all week. About a month ago, on Justin's and my three-year anniversary, a woman came up to me at the salsa bar and told me that every time they see me in the restaurant, her and her husband say, "Look, it's the girl who's always smiling!" So she wanted to share that with me. It blessed my heart more than she knew because as a younger person, especially before my dad passed and life got harder, I was the girl who smiled a lot. And so her comment kind of rang that God was doing healing in me. Flash forward to the next few weeks, and it seemed every Sunday was a crapshoot between Justin and me. It seemed the next few Sundays we fought or had a not-too-happy evening together. I started to think, "hmm ... I think the enemy is trying to steal our joy here and take this sweet time from us." So tonight before seeing Justin I prayed over our evening together, and guess what? It was calm and sweet. And my heart melted to see my man worshipping God with his eyes closed and palms upturned. And when the man next to me passed the offering plate with a big smile, I thought the man looked kind of familiar. When Justin and I got to the taco place, this lady smiled at me and I realized, "oh, Justin and I were sitting next to the lady and her husband who told me they like to see my smile every week." And as Justin and I ate our tacos, there was an older gentlemen sitting alone, and I could sense he was lonely. I'm not comfortable with blatant evangelism or going up to strangers to share the Good News, but I knew I was being prompted to at least tell the man that Jesus loves him. As I started to open my mouth and say that, he said to me and Justin ... (story continued in comments)
