While praying for the Body of Christ. The Lord spoke this to my spirit and I wanted to share this with you. "Don't worry about being popular, just be Biblical (ShakinaPoet)."

John 15:18-25 (NIV) ¹⁸ “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. ¹⁹ If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.

Beauty for Ashes:

Written by Shakina Small

How can something beautiful come out of the ashes?

Some people are mourning after the ashes that is left of their lives? They believe that all has been lost and nothing can be repaired out of the ruins of what caused the ashes is the first place.
