Hello Friends and Happy Monday! This is the season for love. I think we use the word love so loosely. Personally, I struggle with Valentine’s Day every year. I love gifts but I don’t think there needs to be a special day to give or receive a gift. There definitely doesn’t need to be a special day to show love to someone. However, I would love a special delivery, from God right about now.
One thing that I have struggled with over the last several weeks is the amount of hate that I am seeing from people. The problem with this type of hate is it resembles more of a GroupThink! I have never in my life been a follower and I won’t start now.
Don’t get me wrong, I have used the word hate many times in my life. For example, I hate brussels sprouts and I hate dirty dishes in my sink. I also hate to clean toilets. But these are only superficial. I believe the hate we are seeing goes way beyond my hate for dirty dishes or cleaning the toilets.
I recently started a Bible study in the book of Proverbs. I want to know more and the book of Proverbs is a great place to start.
God instructs us in Proverbs 1:5, “The wise also will hear and increase in learning, and the person of understanding will acquire skills and attain to sound counsel.”
We are loved
Folks God is giving us a special delivery every day. He sent us His word to live by. Everything we need to know is in the Bible. I don’t know about you but I want to be wise and a person of understanding.
Special Delivery, Love God!
Mark 12:31 states, “The second is like it and is this. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandments greater than these.”
God loves us even when we make mistakes. God loves us so much that he sent His son to die on a cross for our sins. He will always love us.
This is the kind of love that I want to focus on this Valentine’s Day.
I love the lyrics to this song Daystar Shine Down On Me! sung by Jason Crabb!
Here are a few lyrics:
Lord, I ‘ve seen a world thats dying wounded by the master of deceit.
Groping in the darkness haunted by the years of mass defeat.
But when I see you standing near me shining with Compassion in your eyes.
I pray Jesus shine down on me, let your love shine through me in the night!
Special Delivery, Love God!

Happy Monday! I cannot believe we are already in the second week of the new year. It has already been a busy start to the year. Friends, I feel like everyone is facing a storm in this new year. I am learning to put one foot in front of the other.
In Matthew 14: 22-33, Jesus walked on the lake to the disciples. When the disciples saw him, they were afraid. Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on the water. When Peter became afraid, Jesus reached out His hand and caught Peter. Jesus and Peter got back into the boat and immediately the wind died down.
Friends, we can put one foot in front of the other in faith even in the midst of the storm.
I don’t know about you, but I needed this word from God today. You may be in the middle of the storm, have faith, and never give up. Some days we have to just get up, put one foot in front of the other, and say out loud, “no matter how it looks, I am not giving up.” God is for me!

Happy 2021 to you! As I think of the New Year, I think of resolutions and setting goals! Goal setting is not a bad thing. In fact, goal setting is an important way to move forward. You will achieve so much more if make this goal the most important goal for 2021
You may be thinking and wondering how you will ever fit another goal. This goal is the most important one that you will ever set for yourself. Time with God!
Most importantly…
One thing that I learned from 2020 is to let go of the bad. I am a dweller! I admit that when things go wrong I tend to dwell on all of the bad. A few months ago, I felt like God was telling me to concentrate on something else.
So I believe, the most important goal of 2021 is spending more time with God. When we spend more time with God we will receive three important things to making our lives so much better.
First, more time with God will fill us with Joy! John 15:11 says, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”
Second, when we spend more time with God we will have more Peace! John 14:27 says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Third, more time with God makes us Whole! 2 Corinthians says, “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” We are changed little by little!
Thank you for joining me in the New Year! You are all amazing. Stay tuned for more and continue to follow kamzinsser.com.
