As long as you have one breath left ... its never too late ...there's still Hope

A Hill with 3 crosses: The crucifixion of Christ

[Luke 23:32-33,39-43]

"Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Jesus, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots. "
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

As long as you have one last breath ... its never too late ... to receive the gift of Salvation -- the forgiveness of sins and eternal life with God, through faith in Jesus Christ Their is no other "religion", "belief system", or "intellectual construct" that offers a hope of eternal life in Heaven ... through the forgiveness of sins ... through Faith, not deeds.

God paints us a picture of our world. Two sinners, each crucified with Christ on each end. Both criminals guilty of sin and receiving the punishment for what their sins deserved. One man spit at God ... challenging him; the other man repenting to God (Jesus) ... acknowledging him.
One man redeemed and sent to heaven; the other man condemned ... separated from God eternally. Yet, the man who received Christ didn't earn eternal life with God. It was a Gift of Grace because of his repentence and faith in Gods' Son -- Jesus Christ.

• "Salvation Comes From the Lord" [Jonah 2:8-9]
• "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." {Stated by Jesus} {John 3:16-18}
• Jesus Said, "I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to Heaven except through me"

Either Jesus is the Son of God -- the Hope of All Nations... OR.. a liar and there is no hope for us.
Please ... Do this for yourself ... There is no other hope, no other way ... God loves you and wants you to live with him forever in Heaven. He gives you this gift ... but only you can take it. Today is the day to place your faith in him, you have no time to waist, tomorrow is not promised.
Will you take the gift of salvation--eternal life in heaven through Jesus Christ??

My prayer for you, for me, and for everyone today ... Jesus is Mighty To Save

Do people see Jesus Christ in Me?

Does my life reflect his light of love, grace, and salvation?

I ask my self this every morning ... for I am called to be... an extension of his love to others!

[John 14:9-12]
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remains in his love. I have told you this so that my joy will be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have love you."

My prayer for us today: That we will change the world by loving others through Jesus Christ.

(If you would please pray with me)

I pray that we may keep our hearts open to love, our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, and our hands lifted high to heaven.

As we reach out to the Lord, I pray that we will receive heavens blessing, to fulfill the task, the divine mandate here on earth, to bring Justice where there is injustice; Hope where there is hopelessness; Peace where there is anxiety; Love where there is fear; Salvation where there is brokeness.

And I pray that the God of Peace, the God of all comfort -- Our God, through Jesus Christ--the great shepherd who chose us, will come into our hearts today, guiding us in the way we should go, and equipping us with everything good to complete his will.

And may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ; for to him be the glory forever and ever.

And may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. In Jesus I pray this amen.

Lift up your voice, shine your light into the life of someone else, and lets' Go and Change the World. God bless you all :)

Jesus said and now says to you ...

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit --fruit that will last. ...This is my command: Love each other. ...*You are the light of the world"
[John 14:16,17][Matthew 5:14*]

Do not lose heart ... have faith in His unfailing love

[John 16:33] {first sentence reversed version}
"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace."

Peace is found through faith in Jesus.
Jesus is with you through the emotional roller coaster of life, for He has experienced all our hardships. He's experienced rejection (Isaiah 53:3), He's been betrayed (Mark 14:41), He's experienced persecution, shame, and condemnation. He was grieved by others sorrow (John 11:35) and saddened by great disappointment (Luke 19:41). He was abadoned by his friends (Matthew 14:51-52).
Jesus was even forsaken (separated) from God, his Father, when he needed him the most as He endured the suffering on the cross unto death.

Why would God himself (Jesus) go through all this pain, sorrow, suffering, and shame?
For us. So that he could comfort us in our most desperate times of need.

"For he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by Gods' power. For we also are weak in him, yet by Gods power we will live in him..." [2 Corithians 13:4].

We must not lose hope. For we know that we must go through the valley to stand before the mountain top of God. "Cast all your anxiety and trouble on him, for he cares for you "(1 Peter 5:8).

Have faith in his unfailing love. Fix the eyes of your heart on the Sonshine and you cannot see the shadows.
May the peace of God be in your hearts always; may Jesus be your faith that moves the mountains of doubt, trouble, and hardship in your Life. In Jesus I pray

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an enternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal"
[2 Corithians 4:16-18]

Keep your face on the Sonshine and you cannot see the shadows

When Helen Keller was asked how she finds reason to live after being afflicted without hearing and sight she replied

"Keep Your Face To The Sonshine and You Cannot See The Shadows"

I don't know whether Helen Keller was a believer or not, but deep down in my soul I would assume she was.

We are all dealt a different hand of cards in our life. Days can be sunny and days can be stormy, but its where we fix the eyes of our heart that gives us a reason and purpose to live ... pushing forward ... and finishing the race marked out for us.

Keep your heart on the care of Jesus, Trust in his love, and its then that you will find rest in true contentment, as his love provides the fullness of life. God bless

[Hebrews 12:2-3]

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. "

Where I'm at today ... How are you?

So as I finish up my last semester at school ... things have been pretty tough just juggling various responsibilities. I'm in the process of approaching the next chapter in my life. I'm very excited and curious to see how God lays it all out. So far ... certain things have been amazing. Sharing the love of Jesus Christ and maintaing my relationship with him daily still remain my number one priority above everything else ... which helps keep me centered, focused, and at peace.

Just a heads up for everyone out there ... God has been putting alot of different things on my heart. One was this blog, which was placed on my heart in December, and I hope that God will continue to use this blog to reach the hearts of others and that my readers will have a desire to know Christ in a personal way so that they too can share the love of Jesus Christ with others. Honestly, there is no greater calling or sense of fulfillment than sharing the Love of Jesus Christ with others. I pray that my readers will think of their relationship with God, rather than thinking about "me" as the author. This blog has no purpose in focusing on me ... the focus must be on Jesus Christ and hopefully a stirred interest in your relationship with Christ.

The next chapter of my life is just a continuation of my already full time ministry in following and serving the Lord ... in which I plan on applying to a theological seminary with aspirations of completing a Masters program in Biblical Cousenling. I believe the Lord will use this time to provide specific growth in my purpose in Him ... that I believe will be used to serve Him in wherever he calls me to go.

Lastly, to make thing short, I send this out to my readers. This blog has a purpose and I pray that my blog is focused on completing this purpose; The purpose of bringing others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and a personal relationship by faith in his love.
Apart from the individuals I've already talked with and I thank you for your feedback, I'm curious: what I can do to better serve in communicating the Lord's love to non-believers and believers alike? Most importantly ... I hope that others may come to discover the Love of Jesus Christ and find hope for their days through these blogs.
Any feedback will be much appreciated, (for more confidential messages ... which I know some of you prefer ... just hit me up in my face book inbox)
Thank you very much and may God continue to pour his love into your hearts. For the Glory of God in the name of Jesus Christ.

"Salvation comes from the Lord" - [Jonah 2:9]

Reasons To Trust in God

(Psalm 37:3)

"Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness. (NLT)"

There are many reasons why we can trust God:

• He is the one, true God (2 Samuel 7:21). From the beginning of time, those who seek God have found Him. No other god has revealed himself to man in this way.
• He is the essence of truth (Hebrews 6:17-18). God cannot lie, and He will never lead you astray. However, He has told us that there is one who deceives us, and that is Satan. Jesus called Satan the "father of lies" and rightly so (John 8:44)
• He is absolutely faithful (Lamentations 3:23). When was the last time God let you down? He never has, and He never will. No matter what you are facing, God knows about it, and He is near to show you how to resolve your dilemma.
• He has all power (Matthew 28:18). He is able to make what is impossible to you and me, possible through his will, power, and love.
• He loves you unconditionally (John 15:9). God will never stop loving you. Even when you are unlovely, He love you. And it is His love that draws you away from sin and into His arms of infinite care.
• He never changes (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He may be unpredictable at times ... but he is always consistent. He is in all things and all things are held together by Him.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, although things around me are constantly changing ... may I rest in the fact that you never change, that your love for me remains the same no matter what I do, and that you are all good, all light, and life itself. May I place my trust in your care over my life. For your love is deeper than any ocean and higher then the heavens ... your faithfulness knows no bounds. Teach my heart to trust in your love for me. In Jesus I pray this amen.

I don't usually do this ... but today's blog was focused around an awesome teaching by Doctor and Pastor Charles Stanley ... from the book ... " Pathways to His Presence"

I pray this blog may fill you with peace ... as your heart learns to "Trust In the Lord with All Your Heart, To Lean Not On Your Own Understanding, but in all things acknowledge Him, knowing that He will make your path straight" [proverbs 3:5-6]

Taking Time Apart -- the importance of prayer

[Mark 1:35] -- Jesus prayed in the Morning
"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed"

[Luke 6:12] -- Jesus prayed at night
"One of those days, Jesus went out to the mountainside to pray and he spent the night praying to the God (the Father)."

[Luke 5:16] -- Jesus prayed often
"But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed."

[Luke 22:39-42] -- Jesus prayed before enduring the suffering on the cross
"Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done."

[Luke 23:34] -- Jesus prayed in the midst of suffering on the cross... not just for himself, but for others.
"Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots."

There are relatively 17 difference references in the New Testament in which Jesus prayed: He prayed for his disciples, for us, before healings/miracles; Jesus prayed continually.
Jesus' greatest priority was the communion he had with God the Father. Jesus prayed faithfully knowing that his Father was listening and that He would respond.
In all we do ... we need to stay in continual communion with the God that loves us ... with the God that is with us ... and with the God that cares for us.
We ought to pray ... faithfully listening for the voice of our Loving and Faithful Lord .... Jesus Christ

"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. "
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." {John 10:27-30}

"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you" {Hebrews 13:5}
"Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" {Matt.28:20}

Have Faith. Pray to Him. He will always listen. He will always answer. In Jesus I pray you will. Amen.

Rest for the Weary

[Matthew 11:27-30]

"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

We spend our entire lives searching, hoping, dreaming.
So often we find ourselves searching for something ... but we don't know what it is.
So often we find ourselves hoping ... yet we're not sure what we are hoping in.
So often we find ourselves dreaming ... not for today ... but for tomorrow ... for what we cannot see ... for what could be.
Yet ... we know what we need, we know what we want, and we know what we have been longing for all along ... Love

We search for love. We hope for love. We dream of love. We need love.
No matter how defeated our lives may seem ... there is hope ... for as much as we long for love, love longs for us.

Love comes to us in times of need. Love comes to us when all seems lost. Love comes to us in the moment of defeat, in the moment of brokenness.
When all else has failed for us ... Love comes to the rescue ... with a gentle whisper it speaks comfort to our hearts and it pours peace over our souls. Love picks us up, puts us back on our own two feet, ands coaxes us to "come, follow me".

For love does not know how to fail ... "love always hopes, always trusts, always perserveres. Love never fails."
Jesus Christ is the love of the world. Jesus is love. He is not a religious icon. He's not a historical figure. He's not some belief system, He's far greater than that.

Jesus is God's son. Jesus is God.
"If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love because perfect love drives out all fear..." {1 John 4:15-18}

Jesus doesn't request anything demanding of you. All he desires is your faith and your love.
He "chooses" to reveal his love to you ... so that you will be where he is ... both now and forever.
Jesus desires to give you rest, peace, and perfect love.

Come to Jesus, Follow Him ... for his teaching is easy and his burden is light ... and you will find rest for your souls in Him.
For He is love and love never fails. :)

What defines you: what you do or who you are?

What defines you?

Is it what you do or who you are?
For example, we can do "good deeds" in the eyes of others, for the praise from others but be completely wicked and twisted on the inside.

What matters more? What we do outwardly or who we are inwardly? I ask you ...
I believe the answer is clear.

To understand who we are, we must understand who God is (The God who made us). We must understand his nature.
The nature of God is love. There is nothing you can do that would make him love you more and there is nothing you can do that will make him love you less. He loves you because he loves you. He loves you all the time ... all the way. His love never changes. He never changes. He is the definition of consistency; there is none more consistent then the One True God--maker of Heaven and Earth -- the God who made you and lives to love you.

Are you in sin or in Christ?
What you're "in", will determine who you are.
So the question is are you sinless? Have you committed at least one sin in your life?
If the answer is yes ( heck :) I hope you answered yes) then you stand separated from God.
Sin separates us from God. For sin is death and sin is darkness. In God there is no sin. Nada.
There is no getting around it, if you sinned once, you stand condemned ... separated from God.

In Christ -- we are redeemed; we are sinless; we are born again; we are Children of God

[1 John 1:5-7]
"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."

So, what does it mean to be in Christ? Is it what we do for Him or who we are in Him?

Think about the roots of any plant. You can't see them. They are rooted deep under the soil. All you can see is the wonderful life it produces above the ground. Yet, the roots of all plants, are in essence its source of life. Without the roots ... the plant cannot live, it cannot grow, it cannot bear fruit, leaves, or anything; apart from the roots it can do nothing. If the roots are weak, the plant doesn't live long, it withers away and dies. If the roots are strong, the plant lives fruitfully -- through storm, drought, shade, or change.

No doubt, it is important that "whatever we do, that we do it in the name of Jesus Christ, for love"(Colossians 2:17) ; But there is a greater importance in who we are within Him.

Our spiritual growth begins within, not from without.
It's who we are in Him; its what occurs in the stillness of our hearts, that only the Lord Jesus sees ... that matters to him ... for who we are in Him (like a plant) will bear fruit in our life without us trying, thinking, or striving to.
Its when we rest in him, that we find out who we are. We are his beloved. His sheep. His Children. We are the image of Jesus Christ. Love.

True Love -- Jesus lives to love you

The God of all comfort

[2 Corinthians 1:3-5]
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."

His love is for all. His comfort overflows.

We all will experience troubled times. We all will suffer defeat, sorrow, and failure throughout moments in our life.But how amazing is it that there is Hope for the fallen, comfort for the broken, and strength for the weak in spirit.

{Psalm 34:18,17}"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.""The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles."

Jesus is God's gift of compassion. Jesus is the comfort to all God's people. Through Christ we have comfort and in his love we comfort others. God's compassion, comfort, and love will always be knocking on the door of your heart.

So I Ask You ... Will you let Jesus Christ be your comfort?

He stands at the door and knocks ... but only you can open the door to the love that will set you free ... and give you true life -- life to the fullest. This is not about religion ... its about a relationship with Jesus Christ. :) God bless.

[John 1:12] "Yet, to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or by husbands will, but born of God"

Shorter Blogs ...allowing the Spirit to work through me

It's not how much you say ... rather its what you say and how you say it.

Because my blog aims to reach out, witness, and plant seeds of the Love of Jesus Christ in the hearts of others (who are guided to my blog) ... I've been praying on ways to more effectively and willingly let the Spirit of God work and speak through me.

So ... because I feel many of the people who read my blogs are not believers, I am trying to refocus my vision and blogs in their perspective. I just know if it was me on the other side of the screen, I might not feel inclined to read long lengthy blogs. Fom my experience in learning, I find I can take away more from something short and sweet rather then long and complex.

So ... Blogs will be shorter. I will have a variety of both short and long blogs, so I'll try to specify something in the title for the more lengthy blogs. I just have trouble communicating in a few sentences as you can tell :)

Blogs will be shorter. Period.
My aim is that you (the reader) might discover the Love of Jesus Christ. His love is for you and my greatest desire is to share that love with you, in hopes, that you too can experience "true life" through this amazing, loving relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus is the greatest thing in my life. Nothing Compares. God bless

His love provides: What God is able to do with so little

Our God is loving and compassionate. He takes what is ordinarily simple and turns it into something extraordinarily special.

He will provide for all your needs; not all your wants.

[Matthew 14:13-21]

"When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."

Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.""We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.

"Bring them here to me," he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children."

His love provides: God uses the smallest things to provide the biggest blessings

So often we separate what we are able to do in life based upon two categories: The possible and the impossible.
We consider what we have; We consider what we can do to rise above our situation.
The problem in the ideology is the word "we". It's not about the size of us compared to the size of our dilemma, rather its about how big our God is in comparison to how truly small the dilemma is ... that we face.
It's not about us doing this or that or with those and with these. It's about God's provision. God is able to make anything possible out of the seemingly impossible, through something so small and so tiny as our faith in him.

First, Have Faith in Christ Compassion: Jesus looks at us with compassion.

Verse 14 tells us of Jesus and his compassion for the multitudes that were following him.
His eyes are full of love and compassion. In his eyes, they were sheep without a shepherd. He saw their hearts longing for someone that could make things better. He saw their need; He saw their need ... for Him. They looked to Jesus having seen all that he had done to heal so many. He was someone they could believe in, hope in, and turn to...that could change the suffering they had today in hopes for a better tomorrow.

Have you ever had the need to turn to someone to make things better? Did they make things better? Are they better now? Jesus is the one to turn to. He satisfies all our needs.

God provides what we need, not what we want. He abundantly provides out of his love. The greatest provision we can ever be given is Jesus Christ. For Jesus is what we need, and He is (secretly) what we want; Jesus is what our hearts long for --eternal life ---eternal love ---a personal intimate relationship with God.

Secondly, Have Faith in God's desire to love you: God isn't limited by our resources. He takes what we give him and blesses it abundantly.

The disciples were challenged by Jesus, if not commanded, to feed the people.
They where overwhelmed with the impossibility of that feat.
All they had were five loaves of bread and two fish.
Yet, the disciples forgot about who they were following. Jesus.
Jesus was given the power by God to perform miracles that were seemingly impossible.
He was testing their faith.
By faith we have a relationship with Jesus(God). Faith is the foundation of my entire life. Without faith, no one can know God. Without faith, not one person of whom Jesus healed would have been healed. It was because of their faith in him, that they were healed. Likewise, it is by my faith in him that I have been healed, that I have been given eternal life, and that I have a relationship with the God who loves me.
All he desires of us is a small offering of Faith. He will do the rest to make what is seemingly impossible ... possible ... through Faith in Him.

Jesus broke the bread and gave thanks to God. Having Faith in the loving provision of his Father, Jesus fed thousands of men, women, and children.
Five loaves and two fish!! With only five loaves of bread and two fish!!
Jesus took something so small and fed thousands abundantly ... heck there was left overs.
God will provide for you abundantly. He will go over and above your expectations and provide beyond your need, satisfying your want, and in doing so he will show you how great is his love and faithfulness to all who love him(Jesus) and to all who have placed their faith in him.

His love is able to take something so small as your faith and use it to provide a blessing so big ... taking what was once seemingly impossible for you ... and making it into what is easily possible for Him.
Remember, He is God. He made all that you see. He made you. Nothing is impossible for him. He treasures you more than anything else. His love reaches to the heavens and his faithfulness stretches to the skies.
Have faith in his great love for you

My greatest miracle -- the Love of Jesus Christ coming into my heart. Eternal life and love with a personal relationship with God, through Faith :)

My prayer for you, for me, for all ... to the glory of God and Lord over all ... Jesus Christ

[John 14:9-12]

"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commans, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remains in his love. I have told you this so that my joy will be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have love you."

My prayer for us today: That we will change the world by loving others through Jesus Christ.
(If you would please pray with me)
I pray that we may keep our hearts open to love, our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ, and our hands lifted high to heaven. As we reach out to the Lord, I pray that we will receive heavens blessing, to fulfill the task, the divine mandate here on earth, to bring Justice where there is injustice; Hope where there is hopelessness; Peace where there is anxiety; Love where there is fear; Salvation where there is brokeness.

And I pray that the God of Peace, the God of all comfort -- Our God, through Jesus Christ--the great shepherd who chose us, will come into our hearts today, guiding us in where we should go, and equipping us with everything good to complete his will. And may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ; for to him be the glory forever and ever.

And may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. In Jesus I pray this amen.

Lift up your voice, shine your light into the life of someone else, and lets' Go and Change the World. God bless you all :)

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit --fruit that will last. ...This is my command: Love each other. ...*You are the light of the world"

[John 14:16,17][Matthew 5:14*]

Have Faith, There is always Hope ... for no matter how you feel or what you think; Love will not fail you.

{1 Corithians 13:13}-- And now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love.

But of the greatest of these is Love.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

{1 Corinthians 13:4-8}

JESUS is patient, JESUS is kind. JESUS does not envy, JESUS does not boast, JESUS is not proud. JESUS is not rude, HE is not self-seeking, HE is not easily angered, JESUS keeps no record of wrongs. JESUS does not delight in evil but He rejoices with the truth. JESUS always protects, HE always trusts, HE always hopes, HE always perseveres.
JESUS never fails.

Jesus is with you always. He feels all your pain, hears all your cries, and see's all your disappointments. He knows what is best for you. He will take care of you.

There is always hope because Jesus cares for you. He has everything under control. Have Faith, for He is loving and He is faithful; Jesus never fails.

[1 Peter 5:8] - Cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

Do you believe God loves you and is in control?

Will you choose to have Faith in something bigger than you? The Love of God, the Hope for all -- Jesus Christ?

I pray you will, for I have placed my faith and hope in the Love of Jesus Christ and for the first time in my life ... I have peace and assurance that every litte thing is going to be alright. I know who I am, what my purpose is, and who cares for me.

Do You?? I pray you will too. Only through Faith in Jesus.

God bless everybreath you take. Amen
