Message: Father, Change My Diaper
 By Elder Kelvin Gilmore

 Greetings to all of my Brothers and Sisters in Christ !!! God loves you and so do I. Thought for today. When an infant makes a soiled diaper, he is not responsible for cleaning himself but he is responsible for crying out to his parents letting them know his condition for them to change him. Likewise, we being children of God will sometimes make a mess with our lives. For an example, we might be in a relationship with the wrong person which has lead us into a messy situation. Though we recognized our mistake, it is not our responsibility to clean our mess but it is our responsibility to confess and repent. Our Heavenly Father will clean us by first removing the soiled diaper and then clean us up before he introduces us to a clean diaper. Like a Good parent, GOD WILL NOT PUT A GOOD DIAPER OVER A MESSY SITUATION. In many cases, we have attempted to correct our own mistakes by removing the old and getting the new without God cleaning us and preparing us for the new which still leaves us with a mess. Please note that when God removes the old and prepares us for the new, it maybe painful and lonely. Be patient with God knowing that the new will be well worth the process. Our Heavenly Father is always good .Every good and perfect gift comes from him. Allow him to prepare us to receive what he has for us. I declare and decree that we will yield our entire lives to God through Jesus for him to perfect those things concerning us. In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. May God Eternally Bless You and Your family !!!

 Poem for Today:

 Like a soiled diaper that a child may have on but knows not how to change.
 Life in this world is filled with evil which is unpleasant; for holiness I'll gladly exchange.

 Why continue to have sin attached to me when I can have the cleansing power of Jesus Blood?
Isn't it wiser to swim in the living fresh river than to sink in the sewage of sin that looks like mud?

 I choose today to ask my Heavenly Father to exchange my stained past for a new garment and a fresh future.
 I also ask him to give me the strength and tenacity to cleave to his word and every trial endure.

 Now with a clean garment, I am no longer weighted down with the sins of my past.
I'm filled with joy because I live in the Father's presence that will always last.

 Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, thank you for cleansing me of my past stained life of sin. Please keep me in remembrance that you have put on me the garment of Holiness that magnifies Jesus. In Jesus name.Amen
