Day 29 of God’s Love for Us November 27, 2017 “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world”(John 16:33 NASB). Jesus told this to His disciples before He was betrayed to give them hope through the tribulation that was coming. After that, Jesus prayed, “But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves”(John 17:13). Jesus had told them previously that He was “the Read More

Motivational Thoughts
November 18, 2017 “Lord, You have redeemed my past, made my present make sense, and secured my future.” written by an African Pastor in 1800’s who was martyred. (I’ve added a few words to make it a personal statement) “If we live by faith and not by sight, then if we stand we will stand as giants, and if walk we will walk as lions.” Lions by Skillett “If it’s true that You use broken things, then here I am Lord, I’m all Yours!” Broken Things by Matthew West Jesus has overcome all fear and thoughts Read More
Day 25 of God’s Love
Day 25 of God’s Love for Us November 14, 2017 Today’s verse of love for us comes from Habakkuk. ” I heard and my inward parts trembled, at the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, and in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, for the people to arise who will invade us.” (Habakkuk 3:16) He knew trouble was coming because his country had no protection from their enemies that surrounded them. Today, we live in a chaotic world with enemies all around as well. They are tearing away at the Read More
The Universe and a Ladybug
In September, my pastor gave us a visual of how big our galaxy is. Then he painted the picture verbally of how great God is, and that He holds all of it in place in the palm of His hand. Yet He is so meticulous and loving to hold us individually and admire us just as we hold and admire a ladybug in our own hand. There is no fear valid or worthy for the person who holds Christ in their heart. “God wants us to hear His voice. In order to love God, we need to hear His voice 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
What God do we Serve
What God do we Serve? September 13, 2017 I was listening to a conference call this past weekend and the person speaking asked this question, ”What God do you serve? Do you serve the God of abundance and purpose, or do you serve the god of fear, doubt, pain and distraction?” His question has intrigued me for days. His point was simple and effective. Any dirivative of fear or lack is not from God! God gave us all individual gifts and talents, it is our mission to find them and use them for His glory. God also gave us the Read More
Day 8 of God’s Love
Day 8 of God’s Love for Us – July, 28, 2017 – “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all thins as we are, yet (remained) without sin.”(Hebrews 4:15) Jesus knows the path that we’re on, because He was “given all this domain and its glory,”(Luke 4:6) or, given dominion over all the kingdoms of the world, if He had only bowed to Satan. Satan wants to give us the desires of our here and now, in exchange for an eternity of peace.
