PRAYER
(Saturday, June 1, 2013)
Lord, I just pray that you will open the doors for me to be able to acquire a property that will both serve as our home and for commercial use. I can not do this on my own, only you can make all things possible for me to do. With much hope and anticipation, gratitude and thanksgiving, I pray in Jesus Name. Amen.
GOD SPEAKS
(Monday, June 3, 2013)
Jesus began to speak to the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a wine press, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenant farmers and left on a journey. At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants to obtain from them some of the produce of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. (Mark 12:1-3)
Lord, thank you so much for inclining your ear to my prayer and petition. I have asked you to give me a property that can be our home and at the same time be of productive use by way of having portions of it leased by tenants.
Today, you have confirmed that what I have asked for in your Name shall be given. You will be the one to build the property for me and you do expect that I will act as a trustworthy steward of such property.
With much hope and anticipation I pray that your heart and wisdom be upon me to understand and acknowledge that all things belong to you and that I am just an instrument of your loving mercy and kindness to your people. Teach me to be prudent in all my ways but generous to those who are in need of your compassion. I belong to you in as much as you belong to me as my Master, Lord, and Father. In Jesus Name, I bring you back all the honor, glory and praise. Amen.

THE LORD IMPUTES NOT GUILT
REFLECTION
In my reflection, I wrote, "Whenever I sin, the good in me always fights back with a loud shout, "you did something wrong!". Then it manifests itself into a sense of guilt that I should remorse or repent from my wrongdoing. I will not feel comfortable until I have accepted my fault and strive to avoid such sins from being committed again. This is the good that is in me, the God who will never allow that I be separated from Him."
GOD SPEAKS
Blessed is he whose fault is taken away, whose sin is covered. Blessed the man to whom the Lord imputes not guilt, in whose spirit there is no guile. (Ps 32:1-2)
Going through my Psalms reading, the Lord confirmed my thoughts regarding the word "guilt". He then led me to a scriptural prayer that is very similar to my personal reflection which reads, "Then I acknowledged my sin to you, my guilt I covered not. I said, “I confess my faults to the Lord,” and you took away the guilt of my sin." (Ps 32:5)
Lord, truly you know my thoughts even before I pray. I am just glad that your Spirit works in my mind and heart so that I can always be connected to you in my prayers and reflections. I claim your words today that "though deep waters overflow, they shall not reach me. You are my shelter; from distress you will preserve me; with glad cries of freedom you will ring me round." (Ps 32:6-7) With my love I ask and pray, in Jesus Name. Amen.
