Joy lives with her family at a garbage dump site. She knows what real hunger feels like and how it feels to see other children going to school when she cannot. A sponsor changed all that.  See below.

January 20, 2015. Living according to the prophetic word of the Lord is the most exciting life there is. The Holy Spirit wrote through Peter the shining truth about God's word to you and me. He described it as light shining in a dark place. It waits there until it is the right time to shine into our hearts like the rising daily sun, illuminating the darkness. The word of God can lie dormant, but it never returns void. It illuminates the day when Jesus will speak even more clearly to you by His word. With such words you fight and win the battles of life.

 

2 Peter 1:19 (NASB) "So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts."  Ras Robinson

January 20, 2015. Something you heard was not derogatory. It wasn't a slam on something you are doing. It was just a simple comment. Don't allow yourself to suspect peoples sayings or actions. Be childlike in the face of evil. Don't let things said be filtered through some of your past. Don't allow the negative comments which were in your family growing up to affect your hearing. I put you on a new road, the high road. The low road is filled with people and ideas that drag you down. Beloved, rise above.

January 20, 2015. Let a "can-do attitude" be an earmark of whose you are. As a Christian, there should be observable evidence of a servant's heart, mindset and work ethic concerning you. An easy path would be one who is always deferring and passing the buck onto someone else. Instead of allowing a slacker mentality to creep into your midst, be a catalyst who leads quietly in representing Me by serving others with cheerfulness. My kindness and goodness should be evident to others of your renewed spirit nature. Remember it's Me you are serving.
