The Ten Commandments: #5 Honor Your Parents

The Ten Commandments

#5 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER, SO THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE LONG IN THE LAND THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GIVING YOU.
God appointed the exact people to be your birth parents. You were specifically created in His image, by His hand, and in His design. Nothing about you is per chance. He chose the very people to be your Mother and Father. God's 5th commandment declares to us that we are to honor our parents. We do not have a say in this. We may be born to people who do not honor having children. (Eph. 6:4) For several, this is the case, and the complexities in each situation can cause us to want to break this commandment. The verses below shall be supportive in your personal journey with the Almighty Father, who knows your heart and heals all atrocities against it, in matters pertaining to your parents. God asks you to lay down your problems at the feet of Christ and He will make all wrongs right. Honoring your parents is to hold them in a place of respect, even in their humanness, we must treat them with biblical respect. You must fulfill and keep this agreement with God.

Wading through Grief

Image
  Wading through Grief The nature of grief seems to spill into other areas of our lives while we attempt to navigate it's shores. We can begin to believe we got a better handle on it, creating boundaries to keep it tucked inside, but it can spread quickly and overtake the lines we draw in the sand. So true. As you stand on its shores, can you see what's ahead? Look for the smallest sparkle of light. God knows your heart. He knows what pains you deeply. He sees you long for what and who you miss so dearly. Recognize your desire to replace the hole that was left inside of you. Fill it with God's goodness and let His love wash over any areas that have left you feeling high and dry. What you thirst for, He has for you. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:3 Soon, you will recognize that grief was a gift He provided to help you swim to the next new shore. New territory can spring forth new beginnings. Yes, it will look and feel different. ...

Our Body is a Temple

  KIMALA'S CORNER Our Body is a Temple Consider this: what have you done for yourself lately regarding your physical self care? Do you actively engage in exercise or strenuous activity to get it moving and burning excess calories? Do you conciously choose healthy eating options and promote good healthcare? Do you make regular appointments for dental and physician routine check ups? Do you take care of your outward appearance regarding your hair, face, skin, nails, etc? How about mental self care? Do you only intake that which would do you well, pondering, contemplating and considering your mental thoughts? Do you carefully screen what you watch, listen to and read? Do you take opportunity to unplug and unwind by resting yourself? How about spiritual self care? Can you consider your time each day with the Lord, reading his word, watching Christian movies, listening to spiritual leaders on Podcast and radio? Are you involved with a ministry or bible study with your church? Are you he...

Exceeding Love

Image
Exceeding Love We cannot comprehend it. This kind of unconditional love. The outpouring from a Savior who would give anything for us--longing to have relationship with you and I. No man or woman walking this Earth can compare or even come close to loving you the way that Jesus does. No one. Today, dig deep inside to fill the hurt, anger, pain, upset, anxiousness, worry or disappointment with the One True God. His love is exceeding--His love is healing. Allow yourself to be filled to measure--what does that mean exactly? Well, in my mind, it means to the tippy top!!!! He loves you that much. "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."--Ephesians 3:19 We are better together when we are Splashed in the Spirit.
