What are tears that are left on the alter? What good are convulsive weeping tears? A few weeks ago I figured out the answer to these two questions and I wrote it out like this, in my mind were these words. “I am strong because you are with me. I am weak because I am still me. As the tears flow from my eyes, all I can say is “Thank You,” and pray “Tear down the walls that I have built and barriers that I hold on to that keep me from following and running after the plan that You Read More

Day 24 of God’s Love for Us November 7, 2017 ” I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.”(John 15:1-3) God wants to manifest His love for us with His word; He wants to manifest His love in us by His mercy and healing; He wants to manifest His love through us by our faith.

Day 23 of God’s Love
Day 23 of God’s Love for Us October 20, 2017 Who has the power to give life? Only God does. Who has the power to give eternal life? God does. Who has the power to give eternal salvation? God gave that power to His son Jesus. Jesus gave the opportunity of eternal salvation and eternal relationship to all who are willing, not just the Jews in Israel. Moses tried to give up his own eternity with God, to redeem his family and countrymen when he went to speak with God on Mt Sinai. There he interceded for them with God Read More
Day 22 of God’s Love
Day 22 of God’s Love for Us October 18, 2017 “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.”(1John 5:1) When we accept Jesus Christ into our lives, then He becomes our Messiah. Christ actually means pardon or forgiveness. Jesus was the Messiah, the chosen one to do God’s work of bringing the people together under Him in love and harmony. When we accept Jesus as our forgiver, our savior, then we become joint heirs with Him. We become one of God’s children, just as Him. At Read More
Day 21 of God’s Love
Day 21 of God’s Love for Us October 10, 2017 This sounds powerful and should be embraced I think, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”(2Timothy 1:7 NKJ) From my study bible it says, “Paul urged him (Timothy) to be bold. When we allow people to intimidate us, we neutralize our effectiveness for God. The power of the Holy Spirit can help us overcome our fear of what some might say or do to us, so that we can continue to do God’s work.” (NASB notes Read More
Day 20 of God’s Love
Day 20 of God’s Love for Us September 29, 2017 “This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.”(1 John 3:23) Here are a few definitions: Jesus means “life giving” in Hebrew, and “the name of our lord” in Greek; Christ means “to forgive” in Hebrew and “anointed” in Greek; love then is “from God” in Hebrew, and “much, “as in a social and moral setting,” (pattern) and (quantity)” in Greek. So we could write this statement like this, ” This is God’s commandment, that Read More
Day 19 of God’s Love
Day 19 of God’s Love for Us September 27,2017 This comes from Colossians 1:12-14 “…joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints of Light. For He rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Paul wrote this while in prison in Rome. He is laying thin foundational roadmap of “… Five benefits God gives all believers through Christ: (1) He made us qualified to share in His inheritance; (2) He rescued us Read More
