Ask God

 




Ask and you shall receive

Knock and the door will be opened

Seek and you will find...Matthew 7:7



Let us then approach God’s throne of grace

with confidence,

so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us

in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16



Has not my hand made all these things,

and so they came into being?” declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:

those who are humble and contrite in spirit,

and who tremble at my word. Isaiah 66:2

Judging Others

Be careful how you view others and remember
we are all human. We all have strengths and weakness
that may be different from those you see around you.
Show compassion.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Humans are complex creations of God.
We have layers-some good, some not.
We all have a different view of what beauty
is but we all have worth-created by God, loved by God!
 
Reserve judgment on what is different
from you. Remember that God is good.
Therefore, we should look for the goodness
of God in all His creations!

Morning Glories Beginnings:The Book



Morning Glories Devotionals started as a collection of inspired writings and was published as a book in 2009. I began writing in 2006 when the Holy Spirit spoke to me one word "write". I, of course, did what came natural. I argued. I gave every reason why I shouldn't or couldn't write. I never have-don't know how-have nothing to write about. With each excuse I received a one word rebuttal-write. Three times the Holy Spirit spoke the single word-write. So, with that, I picked up my pen and a legal pad and began writing whatever came to mind. The first couple of pieces were very short but within 2 weeks I was writing 900-1200 word stories with a new divinely inspired topic every 2 weeks. Within a year I had a substantial collection. I prayed about what I was to do with what I had accumulated. The result of my inspired labor is the book you see above. It is meant to be a study devotional with room for journaling so that your Bible study can be your own personal discovery experience. Paperback and e-book versions can be found at online bookstores worlwide. Or follow this link, https://www.amazon.com/Morning-Glories-Shawn-Tinsley-ebook/dp/B0791LQ11B
