Have you lost the love for people ? The Lord dropped that into my heart a few minutes ago . I know without a doubt what that love is like as when I met him that love came in to me and I was filled with a pouring out genuine love to all people . I’ve let it go in many cases . But I want it back , I want to refocus . That love is kind. Some Christians say they have never experienced that love and I don’t know why but I know I did . It was not just to Christian’s who I thought “ how did I ever think bad of them “ it was to all men. It’s time for a heart check if you are not looking at people through Christs eyes. Some say Jesus got mad . Yes he did , he got mad at the religious but he loved people.
Oh Lord I pray for everyone of us that we will once again begin to see afresh through your eyes of love and compassion.

When the Lord puts on your heart to share something there’s a reason behind it . I don’t usually ask why I just do it and so here goes.
Before I was saved in 1982 I worked for a home heath agency and I’d taken care of an elderly couple for over a year in their home. It was the lady who needed it and they rented a unit in a retirement village . Meals were taken in a facility there . This lady had many greeting cards that organizations would send her and she’d have me send them a couple of dollars for a donation. She always would let me have as many as I needed for my own use and I usually asked her . One day I didn’t ask I just took some . No excuse , taking them without asking was stealing . While at that job the Lord sent a girl in to work the evening shift . They fired her in a week or two which they did to most people but I had favor . The girl was a Christian and we had shared ph numbers . Her pastor was instrumental in me coming to the Lord but soon after she was let go from the job I was saved . The Lord first put on my heart return the cards Id stolen without asking and I did . I could go on about all the other people He had me apologize to but I think he wants the other point taken . Don’t take things that don’t belong to you . It filters down to every area of our lives . Don’t take credit for what is not yours . He has nothing else to say to add to this so I won’t. Except all my Christian life I’ve had to make amends and had to expose myself many times . To God the little things count and they play a part in your walk with him . To obey him is far better than to disobey .
So Lord I shared this in obedience to you and I thank you whether it’s for someone or for my own walk I am obeying.
In writing this I’m learning not to soften things I’ve done. I was going to say I’d taken but it was stealing. We cover over things with words that dont pe*****te us to make us look better . I don’t know how many cards probably several but even if it was 1 or 10 it made no difference .

The Lord told me it’s time to tell this story again as i put on a ring. I always longed for a tall jewelry cabinet . I never told anyone . About 5 years ago I saw on FB market someone selling furniture. They offered me this for $40 I went over and the men put it in my car . I got home and it was raining and I decided to take the drawers out to carry it . When I opened the bottom drawer it had boxes of pens and jewelry. Without looking at it so id not be tempted I immediately called the people , they were selling a houseful of things of a deceased relative . I said you must come get it . They said take photos for us . I took it into my place and took photos of everything . I sent it to them and they said they’d get back to me . After 2 weeks I contacted them and they said “ we don’t think it’s worth much Diane so you keep it as we have so much to get rid of . I gave gifts to others with a lot. I learnt a valuable lesson in fact two that day . God does give you the desires of your heart no one knew I wanted a tall jewelry box but him . ( I keep linens in it and a photo and a note that the owner had in it ) and I learnt from the man who was selling it, “never say you can’t afford something .”

As I just sat down to study I picked up my NIV study Bible . I’d not read from it in a while . My friend gave me some money in 2012 and I bought myself this Bible . It is so marked up and lined , circles , notes mark most of the pages and as I opened it it came to me , I have read all these underlined pages . That word is inside of me bits may be dormant and need to be activated but I read it all . That word is alive in me . I just need to water it by stirring myself up again and so this will be the Bible I read from for a while .
I wouldn’t have underlined it all if I hadn’t read it . It’s time to remind ourselves whats inside of us . The word of God is alive . Go back and refresh yourself again and you will be surprised at all that is in you . It’s watering time … how long has it been since you read certain things Jesus did ? Ignite the flame again your candle has not gone out the desires are still there just time to blow on the flame.

This is for someone
Be satisfied where you are at . Don’t get ahead of what the Lord is doing , don’t pave your own way as it could be disastrous. The doors will begin to open . There’s more players involved than you so you must let God get all in to their positions .

I needed to hear again this word the Lord gave me a couple of years ago .
…This morning the Lord dropped into my heart that He is still appearing to the Mary’s . I thought on that and Marys weeping at his tomb. She wasn’t believed at first when she told he was no longer there . And I thought of people I know who weren’t believed when they said they’ve encountered Jesus . People wanted proof because they didn’t believe what was said . Others don’t have to prove anything to you or me. It’s not the outside of the cup we should be concerned about it’s the inside , our inside . Sometimes we can be blind to what’s inside us . When the inside changes actions will line up . I am trying to keep my mouth closed when someone offers their thoughts or comments on something. I don’t do it all the time but I am trying to stop . I realized today we try to steal someone’s thunder , perhaps from insecurity. Who cares if you knew 2 years ago what they are finding out today rejoice with them… that is what I’m working on in me …. He has made me aware and when He does that we get on his page if we want a deeper encounter with him..… I do . I’m going to rejoice with others …

I wrote a post before then deleted it but the words have come again,
“It’s time to step up to the plate .”
Those words mean different things to people . Some need to accept responsibility for past actions that have hindered their lives . Others have put off doing things and it’s time to get back on track and for some of us it’s time to step up to the plate and take notice of those in our midst . Many have needs that they don’t broadcast . Just faithfully trusting God. It’s not always only prayer people need . Ive baked cookies when the Lord has told me to do so ,
made phone calls It’s just opening our eyes to those in our midst and to “their “ needs.
When God asks you to give he repays you in ways far more beneficial to you than you could ever imagine. One time I found a dollar and I felt to sow that dollar into a ministry . I struggled with that as I signed my name but pride was broken and I learnt obedience . God looks at your heart . Now I don’t have to double check and say “ is that you Lord ? is that you asking me to send $20. ? I don’t need a sign he has given the sign in my spirit . The other day I was sitting down to read and the Lord had me write a letter card to a friend it was a story about her life and I knew God wanted to let her know how precious she is to him . I obeyed .
Obedience is priceless don’t take it lightly.

I use to work as a teenager in a establishment that housed children and adults permanently . They were not able to care for themselves and needed support in that environment . One lady that worked there came in and was always joking , happy and cheerful . She had several children of her own at home . One day this laughing full of joy woman chose to end her life. We were shocked . No one saw it coming or knew the torment that she must of carried inside . I wasn’t a Christian and I don’t think many others I worked with were either . I thought of that lady this morning after all these years and I was reminded that we do not know what’s behind other people’s actions . What pain they may carry in their hearts and feel they can’t let anyone know so they hide behind masks. Be kind to one another take the time to see beyond the surface and linger a little while with those in your midst to see beneath the covering people put on . Some are proud and think it’s weak to share their stories so you share yours . You’ve been set free from bo***ge and by sharing what you have passed through you can give hope to those who have none.

So often when I’m driving the Lord drops in my heart what he wants to say by bringing up a memory . Today I remembered back in the late 70 s before I really gave my heart to him I was an alcoholic. I didn’t know it I just thought I liked to drink at night. I didn’t go to church and I really didn’t know God . A lady came to visit one night and I recall her talking about Jesus and her church . The only thing is she sat and drank along side of me. I said to her why are you drinking . I thought Christians didnt drink and I believed I’d have to clean up my life before I came to God. I didn’t find out till later we come as we are but alcahol was such a bo***ge in my life that in 1981 Jesus supernaturally delivered and broke the hold over me. The lady said to me “ God has set me free to drink “ unbeknown to her that became a stumbling block to me . Somehow inside I knew it was not a good witness . Christ tells us not to let our freedom cause another to stumble . She didn’t know that and I now have more compassion and understanding on the situation but then I didn’t . I am sure there’s been times in my Christian walk I’ve caused others to stumble in ways and I don’t want to do that again. I want to be aware of where others are at . I saw a Christian leader post a photo once and someone asked them if they were drinking alcohol as indeed the photo suggested that . They ignored the comment but none of us know the struggles others may be going through . And satan can use our freedom to make someone stumble. Its wisdom and everyone of us is growing in that daily and we do not want to make another brother slip in their walk.
I am not advocating drinking alcohol at all .
By causing others to stumble we even can do that simply by not being aware of others and what are their customs .

I feel to say that you have been called into fellowship with the Lord . There is no darkness in him and it can not stay in his presence . Don’t try to clean yourself up first or keep any part back from him . Acknowledge what is still troubling to you and bring it before him
lay it at his feet and watch it will go as the light always over powers the dark . Don’t judge another as we all struggle with areas and some can be so blind they think they have none. God loves you . Come to him and bring your struggles . He knows your heart it’s only mocking him If you think you can continue in sin and don’t want to change .
There is always forgiveness in his hand to you come boldly to his throne of grace and receive . You are loved .

My life has changed so much since I started this page, that its time to rewrite the story.. Do you know you can rewrite your life story when you wander off.? God is a God of numerous restarts..
As a little girl of 10 I use to cart a big brown bible off to school and tell the kids about Jesus.. I didn't really understand much , so I wandered off before I hit my teens, but in March 1982 my life came to a screeching change of pace, I called out to God and said “ if you're really up there I want to stop this drinking”. That week began the start of an exciting journey for me. Just me and God . A few days later I called out “ I want to stop smoking “ and then on 300 mg antidepressant meds and other medication, I said I want to stop these.. and they were gone...no withdrawals . God showed me His supernatural power when He moved into my life, I knew He was alive and real and I began to walk closely with Him and since I had returned to church , later I was asked to have a weekly home group and did for several years .
When we moved to Dallas in 1992 everything was good. We found a church and in 2000 I became ordained into the ministry through “Glory of The Lord Church”, that was not my home church , but the Pastors knew my heart .......ordination was a manifestation of what I knew God had done on the inside . Sadly I never got to walk fully in that calling. My life began to fall to pieces . God is not religious, but man can be, and things can get laid on peoples backs , that they cant live up to . I clung to a form of godliness with sporadic power, but when we get bound up in traditions, legalism can come and the Freedom in Christ becomes a works and one cant function properly in both areas.
After being married most of my life I divorced in 2010 and that really started a slippery slope of rebellion falling back into areas God had delivered me out of. It wasn't Gods fault, I chose to rebel . I can blame it all on many things but ultimately we each are responsible for our own actions and it breaks my heart to think I turned my back on areas God had showed Himself strong to me in.. Someone told me one time that we can’t forgive ourselves when we go back to areas God takes us out of. Thats not true. God forgave me and I forgave myself. God always is willing to give us new beginnings. He is a loving Father.
Around the end of May 2017 God showed up again in a big way in my life. Because I love music He has always used music, and songs is one way He often spoke to my heart. He began the wooing me back, with 2 secular songs and the dreams started again . I had hardly been in church in over 5 years but I ached for the fellowship with Him that I had had. And it began all over again. I didn't have to lay things down, they lost their power again over my life the joy came back as He loved and wooed me and sang through sweet songs of music that touched way down deep. I didn't expect the revelation and the excitement to come flooding back in my life again but it did and it has. He impressed me to start this page and the name “From Now On’ was what He gave me in a dream. If one looks back at the first posts its easy to see the growth taking place as He teaches and guides me. to fulfill His purposes through my Life.... to be continued : )
Wow ! It is now July 2019 . It amazes me the more I learn again about God and His loving kindness to people. He truly does make the sun shine on all of us. I cant believe how Ive grown since starting this page and posts are shorter. Thank you for the faithful friends who have encouraged me to keep writing this page. WhenI met Jesus I wanted everyone to know Him and Im still that way. Freely we received so freely we give to others. I’d like everyone to come to know Him . I realize now how religion can bog us up. If the devil can’t get us to quit he often manages to get us into being religious nitwits where we turn everyone off.
Come on this ride with me and see where He takes us...
