Life isn't really about us; it's about JESUS! |
My love for our Heavenly Father is something I have known from childhood because of the
Christian upbringing I have had. Proverbs 3:5,6 is one of many verses I cling to: "Trust in
the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways
acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." Throughout my life, the Lord has proved
this promise to be true. It is my desire that those who should find themselves perusing the
humble pages of dailysoulfoodforyou, and my sister sites: www.soakinhiswords.webs.com,
and www.intercessoryprayers.webs.com will find encouragement, comfort, and an infilling of
the Holy Spirit.
If perchance you should read any of my novels, you will find them to be unique, for I
attempt to show through the main protagonist a deep faith and love for our Triune God, the
source of all strength and hope.
My most recent book, Inside the Shell is a collection of Inspirational Prose dedicated to
anyone who is hurting or discouraged, and who would like to experience God's abundant
love, grace, peace, and compassion.
In a world where there is so much pain, I just want to be able to encourage, uplift, and help
others realize that their faith and trust in Jesus, the Anointed One, will make a huge
difference in their lives. Through the promptings of the Holy Spirit, they will even discover
their hidden talents, gifts, and purpose for being here. In this world, we're too performance
and achievement driven. That's a lot of pressure! We need to be able to laugh at ourselves
when we make mistakes.
We ought to look only for the good in others; see the beauty within, while ignoring the
shell they occupy. (I think of John Merrick - aka the Elephant Man ! Although severely
deformed in body, he had a remarkably kind and gentle spirit.) He found rest in the Lord!
So can we!
Indeed, we ought to see the glass as half full; consider mistakes and trials as God's way of
maturing us; view each day as a new beginning, a chance God gives us to let go of the past
and have a fresh start. There is always a season of preparation before God sends a case our
way. Remember challenges and trials are learning times!
I thank God daily for what He has done for me, in the person of Jesus and His unselfish
sacrifice on the Cross. I thank Him also for the creative writer who resides within me. I can
only hope that readers of my stories see beyond the storyline to the depth of faith in our
Triune God, and strength exhibited by the protagonist.
Finally, I believe God touches our lives in a variety of ways; and the experiences we have
had are meant to be shared. If I am able to bring hope, encouragement, and inspiration to
just one person, then I have fulfilled my purpose.
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8

Will You Pray For My Wife? Each Wednesday afternoon In the healing room we wait Knowing that God will send those In need of His healing touch Or a faith-filled prayer! Yesterday He sent an elderly couple, Evelyn and her husband Jim. She has a severe case of dementia How Jim loves this strong-willed woman Whose attention span is less than ten minutes; At which time she jumps up and heads for the door Jim gently restrains her, and lovingly strokes her hand While returning her to the chair she had just vacated. He tells her in a soothing voice how lovely she is He reminds her of the many times She played the piano at Retirement Homes He reminds her of the delicious meals She once prepared with little ease But Evelyn only stares, her lips tightly sealed! “Will you say a prayer for my wife?” Jim asks in the gentlest of voices. “My Evelyn…oh, how lovely she was once upon a time. I know that Jesus will heal her, If we but ask in faith.” And so with oil we proceed to anoint Evelyn’s forehead and both her palms We each present with aching hearts Our prayers to the Father, in Jesus’ name And at conclusion we hear Evelyn say, “Amen!” Dementia is such an awful disease The pain it causes others is heartbreaking But we must not be discouraged For in God we must put our trust His will be done We know not how Or if or when We can only do our part and ask In prayer, believing! “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord…” (James 5:14) Penned 2007 - H Lena Jones |
