Get the Facts


“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.”-Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

It happens to be that 99.9% of the time, whenever we assume something, our assumptions are usually wrong. We can think, “He walked by me because…”, “She didn’t respond because…”, or “They didn’t invite me over because…” 

When we assume we are making judgements without knowing the real facts. Assumptions can keep our minds preoccupied all throughout the day, and if we aren’t careful we will create emotions about something that hasn’t been proven to be true. Assumptions are usually negative and can send a harmful message to our physical body. Our body doesn’t know the difference between an assumption and a fact and will respond as if everything it feels is real.

Maybe they didn’t invite you over because they forgot. Maybe she didn’t respond because her life has been extremely busy lately. Maybe he walked by you because he was focused on getting somewhere on time and didn’t see you. Everything people do to you is not because they don’t like you or because they feel something negative about you.

 Love believes the best. Don’t let assumptions ruin you. If you feel it’s important to know something, it is wise to ask. We can’t think on “whatever is true” if we don’t know what is true. We must get the facts so we can have peace of mind.

A Message From God's Heart To You



“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds” Psalm 147:3, NKJV.

He is faithful. He is just. He loves you.

For years beyond your intelligence, He has ruled everything that has ever been created. He has given you the very breath you breathe. He has restored you time and time again. He wants you to know how much He loves you. 

There is no coincidence as to why you are reading this today. His words are few, but His power behind His word is what moves mountains in your life. Where you have been broken, today He will heal you. Where you are sick, today He will bring healing to you. Where you have suffered, today a new door has been opened up for you.

 Do not fear. Do not be afraid. Everything that has passed through your life has already been spoken by Him.  You are special, and you mean more to Him than you will ever know. 

Allow Him to hold you, to heal you, to be your everything today and for always. He will never let you down. He only desires to bring you up. He is your Creator, your Father. With Him, all things will be possible. His supplies and power are limitless. You are the apple of His eye. 

Today is the day of “Divine Intervention.” In His presence will be your fullness of joy. 

He is faithful. He is just. He loves you.

You Are Victorious

Hey Princesses!  Here's a devotion for tonight..


“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place” -2 Corinthians 2:14, NKJV.

If you are victorious, that means someone is defeated.  If you win, someone has lost. Every time you acknowledge the victory you have in Christ, God rises in your life, and the enemy flees in every direction. 

The Bible tells us, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” Who are the redeemed? Those who have been bought and purchased with the precious blood of Jesus. His sacrifice for them brings them into a perfect union with God Himself, and they are His. They are victorious because Jesus is victorious.

You may not feel like a winner, and your situation may not look at all victorious right now, but neither did Jesus when He was on that Cross. Your victory rests not in how much money is in your account or in how much food is in your fridge. Even when you’re sitting in a dark room because the power has been turned off, you are still victorious in Christ. Things may look bad now, but just as Jesus rose in victory, so will you! 

You can go ahead, rejoice now and shout the victory because you are victorious through Christ and the devil is defeated in your life!

In His Presence, We Are Restored

Hey Spotlight!  Here is a devotional for tonight..


“So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless you You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name” Psalm 63; 2-4, NKJV.

Are you feeling unloved? Are you feeling unworthy? Are you feeling like you just don’t have the strength or will to go through one more day? Do you feel drained and that if one more situation comes up you are just going to explode? Do you feel your journey is at a stand still and things are never going to be better or change? Do feel like the light at the end of your tunnel has grown dim, even as a Christian?

Well, I have some good news for you today. I want you to stop whatever you’re doing for five minutes and find a quiet place, even if it is in the bathroom. Close your eyes and imagine yourself at the precious feet of Jesus. Say, “Lord, I come to You just as I am. You know what I am feeling and what I have been going through. I am sorry I have not come to You sooner but I am here now and realize Your timing is perfect. I desperately need You to restore me with Your supernatural power. I come in faith and believe You will help me right now in Jesus name. I love You and thank you for doing in me what I could never do on my own.”

I want you to know how priceless you are to our Lord and Savior. He cares for you at all times. Through all the good and bad He remains faithful. In His presence, we truly are restored.
