Good morning bright and early my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much and I wish for you and your family and friends to have an awesome and blessed day!
Dear LORD God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Holy Spirit, God the Trinity, we love You and praise You so very much. We worship You with our lives, our gifts, our resources, our time, our love, our hearts and hands extended to Your hurting people. LORD we pray for Your Love, Your guidance, Your provision. Thank You mostly for sacrificing Your Only Begotten, Beloved Son, Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins so that we can spend our eternity with You on earth and in Heaven after we leave here. Please protect us LORD and all of our generations with all of Your angelic hosts and Your hedge of protection. We thank You in advance LORD. It is in the Precious, Holy Name of Jesus that we pray. Amen. Glory to God!
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our lives. It also tells us that God knew us before we were even formed in our mother’s wombs. For those of us who feel that we are all alone; we have never been alone. God knew us before we got here on earth, He gave us gifts that we should walk in when we got here, He knows the numbers of hairs on our heads, and He will never leave us nor forsake us.
These are all mighty and powerful and loving promises from our Heavenly Father and Creator to each and every one of us, His creation. The thing is; does this matter to you, to me, to us? Are we more interested in obtaining the validation and praise of mere mortals? Do we look for love in all the wrong places? Do we even believe that what God has written in the Bible is TRUTH? Do we even care?
HEBREWS 12:2 LOOKING UNTO JESUS, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH, WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME, AND HAS SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD. (nkjv)
The joy that this scripture is referring to is that Jesus died for us so that we can live for all eternity with Him in Heaven. We are His beloved children, His family.
JEREMIAH 1:5 “BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU, AND BEFORE YOU WERE BORN I CONSECRATED YOU; I APPOINTED YOU A PROPHET TO THE NATIONS.”
JOHN 17:22-23 THE GLORY THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME (JESUS), I HAVE GIVEN TO THEM, (that is you and me, us), THAT THEY MAY BE ONE EVEN AS WE ARE ONE, I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME, THAT THEY MAY BECOME PERFECTLY ONE, SO THAT THE WORLD MAY KNOW THAT YOU SENT ME AND LOVED THEM EVEN AS YOU LOVED ME. (nkjv) parenthesis=me explaining)
Jesus makes us glorious by giving us His glory. We can walk with our heads held high. We are mighty and powerful in Him and because of His Love. He calls us to walk in His Perfect Love and to bestow this love upon our fellow brothers and sisters, all of mankind; regardless of who they are and who we are. Unconditional love.
To do this however, we need to be filled with love ourselves. We cannot give what we do not possess. We do not need to look to mere human beings to obtain this love. They are weakened vessels with issues and baggage, with pasts and insecurities just like we are. This is the case regardless of race, culture, wealth or lack of wealth, educational status, and physical attributes.
We only need to look to the One Who can truly shower us with His Perfect, Unconditional, Sacrificial Love. As He fills us exceedingly and abundantly, above all that we could ask or imagine; this love and compassion just overflows onto others. Wouldn’t this make the world a wonderful place? I always wonder why there is so much resistance to this Biblical, Christ following, Christian world view. This way of life; being led by the Creator of all life.
EPHESIANS 3:20-21 NOW TO HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS IN US TO HIM BE GLORY IN THE CHURCH BY CHRIST JESUS TO ALL GENERATIONS, FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN
Well I need to close for now family. God bless you all and all of your generations. Remember I love you and pray for you always and most importantly, Jesus loves you. (don’t get to proof read this time, sorry)
