Joy is the sovereign balm for all the ills of the world. There is nothing that Joy and Love cannot do. Set your standard very high. Aim at conquering a world, the world around you. Just say, "Jesus conquers"--"Jesus saves"-- in the face of every doubt, every sin, every fear. No evil can stand against that, for there is "none other name under Heaven given amoung men, whereby men can be saved." To every thought or want or lack, "Jesus saves from poverty," to every fear, Jesus saves from fear." Do this to every ill and … (9 comments)
poconos faith: A Valentine Sunrise that has love written all over it...and a beautiful Pocono Morning!
- 02/14/11 02:07 PM
I was so looking forward to today knowing it was going to be warmer than it has been for weeks here in the Poconos. While the cold and snow is great for the skiers... we had 2 properties to de-stage so the milder temperatures were a much welcome and anticipated blessing. So, still rubbing the sand out of my eyes and stumbling to the sliding door on my upper deck, I peeled back the curtain to be greeted by the day and this was my "Good Morning"...
Pinks and purples in full array...All I could think was that this was God's Valentine...His way of saying "I … (20 comments)
poconos faith: God Calling..."The way will open"
- 02/08/11 01:17 AM
The Way will open " But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." Isaiah 40:31 You must be renewed, remade. Christ, Christ, Christ. Everything must rest on me. Force is born of rest. Only love is a conquering force. Be not afraid, I will help you. Be channels, both of you. My Spirit shall flow through and my Spirit shall, in flowing through, sweep away all the bitter past. Take heart. God loves, God helps, God fights, God wins. You shall see. You shall know. The way will open. All my Love has ever planned, all my Love … (7 comments)

poconos faith: Come...the doors are always open.
- 12/14/10 01:55 PM
"Come" The doors are always open! When joy comes & praise calls, They are always open. In the cold of the night when Darkness surrounds the soul... Always open. Even when we think We shouldn't go in, out of pain, Out of shame...always open. Always open for God's precious ones. YOU are God's precious one! Come...for although you might think it too late, There is always room inside. -Valerie Sagheddu

poconos faith: You called me beautiful...Anyway.
- 11/16/10 12:42 PM
"For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God" Romans 3:23 No one is perfect but our Lord in Heaven, and he loves us so much. No matter what we do, no matter what we say...He loves us. He can't stop, it would be against His nature... no matter how great we think the sin. Sometimes, past events, actions, sins, can cause us to feel unworthy in the sight of God. Not in his eyes though...to him, we are beautiful despite our shame, if fact because of it. If we were not shameful, it would mean we would not … (6 comments)
poconos faith: God Calling...Wonderful Friendship!
- 11/10/10 11:35 PM
Wonderful Friendship "Think of me as friend, but realize, too, the wonder of the friendship. As soon as man gives Me not only worship and honor, obedience, allegiance, but loving understanding, then he becomes My friend, even as I am his. What can I do for you. Yes! but also what can we do for each other. What can you do for me. Your service becomes so different when you feel I count on your great friendship to do this or that for Me... Dwell more, dwell much, on this thought of you as My friends, and of the sweetness of … (4 comments)
poconos faith: God Calling...Prayer of Joy!
- 11/03/10 07:38 AM
Prayer of Joy "Joy is the messenger, dear Lord, that bears our prayers to thee" "Prayer can be like incense rising ever higher and higher, or it can be like a low earth-mist clinging to the ground, never once soaring. The Eye that sees all, the Ear that hears all, knows every cry. But the prayer of real faith is the prayer of Joy, that sees and knows the heart of Love it rises to greet, and that is so sure of a glad response." +++ I suppose that if you are "sure of a glad response" you can't help but have … (7 comments)

poconos faith: Faithful Friday...why not?
- 09/17/10 03:27 PM
Ok, I have seen Motivational Monday and Wordless Wednesday, (just thought of Thankful Thursday but searched Active Rain and found that group)...so I thought...why not Faithful Friday?? I was sitting at my computer, wondering what to post tonight ( I am on day 9 of "30 post in 30 days") There are so many thoughts, so many blogs in my head, I even have a spreadsheet where I keep track of all my AR ideas so I am never stumped for inspiration. But tonight I thought, why not let my inspiration come from somewhere else. Not sure yet where this will lead...you will have to read on... It's … (3 comments)
