God loves us no matter how we are, and he gave his son to die for us, that we would be born again as children of God, never again the same as we were before accepting his sacrifice for our redemption. God loves us not for who we are but for who we shall become after the blood of his son is applied to our lives.

Expect much; be understanding and forgiving when the mark is missed, but at least you've come within your goal; rather than expecting nothing and being satisfied when nothing is received.

God has supplied our needs and has given us the needs of others so that we be their supply. (2 Cor. 9:8-14) Do not consume for yourself that which was meant for others. Such greed, pride and arrogance was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah (Eze. 16:49)

Pain

God wants to make use of your pain.
It is a block in the construction of your temple.
It is a color in the design of your makeup.
It is a fiber in the clothing of your being.
Your pain is not to be locked up in the prison of your psyche,
Neither swept under a rug,
Nor hidden behind a closet door.

Your pain has a seat at your table
And a chapter in your book;
Because your pain came with purpose.
It was an enemy to be conquered.
It was a night to be endured.
It was a decent into hell to take possession of a key.
And in the midst of your pain, your soul cried out unto God.

From pain, patience sprung forth.
And through it, understanding developed.
By your testimony, the wounded are healed,
The saints perfected,
And the captives set free.
So tell the overcoming story your pain to expand God’s kingdom
And to glorify his name.

Invitation

Powerful and boastfully bulky and big,
Extensive and liberally large and long,
Naturally tempting, tremendously thick,
Impressive and substantially swollen and strong,
Solidified and strengthened with steel until hard,
Open the gate and enter my yard.

NOW Faith

If your faith is that God is going to do it, then you will never see it because your faith has you waiting and that is what will manifest - you waiting. Rather believe it is DONE. Mark 11:24 says, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
Hebrews 11:1 says, " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Use your NOW faith.
Recently, I watched a cooking show that was trying to teach some wives of very wealthy men how to cook. One lady couldn't cut a tomato. She didn't know how to cook or clean; she had servants. He didn't marry her so she could cook or clean. He didn't marry her so she could earn a living. She spent his money and he enjoyed her spending it; he enjoyed being able to provide it for her. She was his companion. She was his lover. She was utterly dependent on him as her provider and protector. 

Christ lived a life of utter dependence on God. He did what he saw God doing. He spoke what he heard God saying. The independent spirit has no need of God. The independent woman has no need of a man.

In this "it's all about me" world, the spirit of willful and joyful dependency has been lost, and with it the demonstration of God's strength and the demonstration of man's strength. 2 Chronicles 16:9 states, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him." That perfect heart is a dependent heart, a submitted heart, a yielded heart. If he cannot find such a heart, how can we see Him?

Embrace your emptiness as room to receive more.
Hunger can never be satisfied, only silenced.

Enter a slave, exit a wife. 
One night of favor can change your whole life.

Feed the Hungry
