If you are feeling low today, trust that everything will be alright. There is no situation too dark, that God cannot light. Nothing is too grim, that He cannot shine through. He will come into the darkness and redeem you. He will meet you at your lowest places and bring you out. That’s what His love is all about. Perhaps your thoughts are cloudy and you just can’t seem to find your way. Then the time is now, no more delay. You can be free from depression and free from pain. It’s available if you want it, just call on His name. Some may say, it’s just not that easy. But let us remember, He came to set us free. He came to make us whole, not for anything to have a hold on us. In order for us to walk in the light, deliverance is a must. It’s readily available to all who desire. Take His hand and let Him take you higher. There is greatness in you, that you can’t find in the darkness. Surrender your all to Him and be blessed. ADaubon
While we have many personal concerns that we must contend with, let us never neglect the needs of others. We shouldn’t be too consumed with our needs, that we fail to see the hardship of someone else. Be selfless and consider the needs of those in your life, community and all those who cross your path. Let your encounters with others be an opportunity to show the love of Christ. Lend a hand with an open heart. I challenge you today to actively seek an opportunity to be a blessing to someone else, and keep it going for the rest of your days. Let us have a spirit of community and generosity, especially in these trying times. As you desire to be blessed, remember to be a blessing. ADaubon

Self-reflection is often necessary throughout life. An authentic assessment of who we are should be measured by who God desires us to be. Our words and actions are often a reflection of the condition of our hearts. When you are consumed with anger, you cause pain. When your heart is full of unresolved hurt and disappointments, you can become pessimistic. What we project into the world is a mirror image of the state of our heart. It is time to do a heart check. Ask God to search your heart and remove anything that does not resemble Him. Don’t live any longer with unforgiveness, anger, resentment, pride, envy, and disobedience. Truly desire to depict His likeness, for we are made in His image. It doesn’t matter how far you have strayed or what you’ve done in your life, it is never too late. We are in relationship with a forgiving God, who desires for us to be whole and free from anything that may burden our hearts and minds. Be inspired by God and let Him mold you, then fill you. Surrender your heart to Him and be renewed. ADaubon
But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. Isaiah 53:5 (NLT) Let us walk in our healing today. God can heal your body, heart and mind. Let Him heal you from fear, worry, anxiety, grief, depression and despair. Let Him heal you from unforgiveness, feelings of regret, the spirit of condemnation and self-doubt. Let Him heal you from past hurts and present disappointments. He can heal you from your bed of affliction and every form of addiction. If you’re in need of healing today, know that God is a healer and miracles do happen. In spite of what you hear, there are still testimonies of healing going through the land, right now. Don’t stop believing in God’s healing power, it is your inheritance. Keep the faith and be made whole. ADaubon
“I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.” 1 Cor. 2:5 (NLT) In this text, Paul explains his method of teaching was not to impress, but rather to have the power of God displayed in the message. Man’s eloquent words and crafty forms of communication is lacking the most beneficial component, if it is not inspired by God. In this season, we must rely on God and His power, not people. Be encouraged to seek God’s face, not man’s wisdom. Put your hope and trust in God. Let Him be the source of your information and understanding. God is omniscient, He is all-knowing. Let us seek Him together and rest in His authority. Let His power fall down on us and bring strength and guidance. Stay in tuned to the right source and be encouraged. ADaubon
