HOW RADIANT ARE YOU?

   Psalm 34:5a "They looked at Him and were radiant."

      
How many radiant people do you know? Are you one of them? When people look at you do they see 'Jesus' Face? 

I began to meditate on that today. I had the privilege of meeting with a group of women for a retreat this last weekend. I saw the face of Jesus in many of those women. 

Being radiant is not an on again off again experience. It is not just a happy go lucky person or someone who every now and then shows joy. The radiance of God should be a daily thing that people see in us. Some days we are happy and some days sad but we should always be reflecting the radiance of God. 

How do we become radiant? 

The scripture says: 'They looked at Him'
We must be IN His presence more than OUT of it. We must spend more time focusing on Him in our lives than on the outward distractions around us. We spent time with Jesus this last weekend and those women reflected His glory. They had spent time with Him. 

These people that are radiant reflect the Glory of God. They shine! They exude an aura of joy! They bubble up, they attract people to them. They have the Light of God emanating from their souls. You see it in their eyes and their smile. They have spent time with the Father! 

He is the source of all joy. He is the joy-giver. It comes from within. Moses spent time with God. His face shone with the brilliance of the glory of God. 

I know a few of these Radiant People. My mother was one of them. Her face shone with the love of God, people were drawn to her. 

The first beautiful picture above is another woman who radiates! She was at our retreat. She spoke very few words but on her, you could see the face of"Jesus". The other picture is of our iWOW! founder, Dr. Carol Elaine. She is a totally different personality than the other lady but she also is Radiant! 

 Many say I can't be like so and so. Well, I say, so what! He has made you unique and you can be like Jesus. So RADIATE on! 

 Hebrews 1:3a "He is the sole expression of the glory of God (the Light-being), the out-raying or radiance of the Divine)

 Jesus, let me be as you were, let me radiate the love of God, let them see You in me!

DO YOU KNOW A SECRET?

Image
God's Word is filled with secret things He has given us to explore. His Word is not a mystery, only it is hidden from those who refuse to seek its meaning. Take time today to seek His Truths. Philippians 4:10-13 says "Think on these things ... what is true, worthy of reverence, honorable, seemly, just, pure lovely and loveable, kind and winsome, gracious, virtue and excellence, worthy of praise. We must fix our mind on these things - they all describe our Jesus. Phil. 4:9 instructs us to practice what we see and hear and to model our lives after that. Then the God of Peace will be with us. (We will have an untroubled, undisturbed well-being) Phil. 4:11 - Oh, to learn to be content in whatever state I am in! Wonderful in concept but much harder to live. To be satisfied and not disturbed or disquieted, no matter where I am. Have you learned the secret? To think on these things? Also, in every situation that comes, that our strength lies in Christ who gives us the power

Watch Out For Sharks!!

W atch out for sharks! As I was watching the news, they were reporting about the sharks in Florida swimming very close to the shallow water of the shores. It was amazing looking down on them, seeing them swimming and stalking. A nd G od said we need to watch out for sharks! This is how the enemy is moving today. He is swimming in the shallow waters, boldly getting closer and closer seeking whom he may devour. T hen as  I was observing the video looking down on these sharks, God reminded me that we should be seeing the enemy for who he is. We can see what others cannot, we see through the eyes of the Spirit. We can be aware of the enemy and his plan to attack if we see through and in the Spirit. But we must be above the enemy, in the Spirit realm. C hoosing to play  in the shallow water is dangerous. Do not in anyway give place to the enemy by playing in his shallow waters. Be observant, be diligent, be aware because the sharks are circling ready to devour. Don't test the wate
