In this video Cory sings of how Jesus’s Love is “Canyons Wide” and deeper than the sea :). I think that many of us came to love Jesus, because He loved us first. And He loves us sooo much.

And it’s a love we can depend on, because Jesus will never fail us. Jesus will never be too tired to care or to listen. He will never grow bored with us. And He will never leave us. Never! And if we fall, He will come running after us 🙂

And no matter what we do, no matter how we behave, and even if we ourselves leave for awhile, Jesus will be waiting for us with open arms. Ready and wanting to love us, always.

So don’t hesitate. Ask Jesus to be your Savior today! His arms are open 🙂

We need to run Home now 🙂

“ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”-Joshua 1-9

During Covid, we showed the world our fear, instead of our faith. To win the upcoming war, we will need to show the world our faith.

And if we wish to keep America the Land of the Free & Home of the Brave, we need to watch out for China. We, as a country, tend to look at the Middle East and the Ukraine as separate issues. They are not.

Russia is working with Iran and some of the other Middle Eastern countries. China is working with Russia. One day, if we wish to protect our freedom, we may have to fight them all.

We may have peace for awhile, but war will come. We need to be ready.

We need, as a nation, to turn back to God now and pray!

“ Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.   For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”-Matthew 11:30

It’s hard for us as human beings to understand just how much Jesus loves us. Because Jesus really cares about our welfare. He cares when we are tired, when we are sad, when we cry and when we worry.

But sometimes, when the weight we carry feels heavy, we need to give it to Jesus to carry and rest in Him. For it is God who can give us a peace beyond all understanding.

We just need to ask Him!

We all have read so many wonderful miracles about Mary, but Joseph was handpicked to be Jesus’s parent by God Himself as well. Descended from King David, a member of the Tribe of Judah, he was well versed in scripture. He understood them in a special God-given way :). And God picked him to be Jesus’s earthly father.

When I think of St. Joseph, I often think of how much he trusted God. After the angel’s appearance, there was no hesitation in Joseph in his love for Mary and Jesus :). When he awoke in the middle of the night, he did as instructed and immediately too Mary and Jesus to Egypt! I often wonder if I would have the same faith and trust in God.

The other thing that always touched my heart when it came to St. Jose[h, is how he always ensured that Mary and Jesus had everything they needed, but stood in the background. He loved them both so much! He provided for them and supported them, and that was enough for him.

We need to find a way to serve, trust and obey God like Joseph did! And we need to find away to love and serve our spouses and children the way St. Joseph loved and served Mary and Jesus.

Jesus said: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.  Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”-Mathew 10:29-30

“Cause You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your love no matter what the future brings
Yeah, You take good care of me“

What an amazing love Jesus has for each one of us. We can trust that kind of love!

It’s easy in the business of life to forget that amonst all of the things we are thanful for; the most important one is our Salvation.

We can forget just how grateful we truly are to have Jesus in our life everyday and that we are now going to Heaven when we die! Not everyone can say that because it is not true for everyone.

So THANK YOU JESUS, for making this true for us 🙂

Sometimes life is just hard. Sometimes it just doesn’t go the way we want. We lose our job or our home. People we truly care about let us down. Life let’s us down. But all of this is part of life, we are not in Heaven yet. And we need to learn to deal with these issues, without letting them pull us down.

So what do we do? How do we handle the “downs” of life? The answer is as simple and hard as life itself. We Pray and we shift our Focus.

And First, we ask Jesus to change our Hearts. We ask Jesus to help us love exactly where we are and to see the good in it. And instead we Focus on how we can help all of those that Jesus has placed in our lives. Helping others not only will help them, it will help us :). For helping others will truly add happiness to our lives. It always has and it always will. And it will soothe our hearts.

Part of the hurt/sadness and anger of tough times comes from focusing on the hurt and sadness. The anger often comes from that hurt and/or sadness. And “righteous” anger can be the worst. But God can not work through anger, and so it has to go.

And whether it is a loss of something like a job or home, or the hurt that comes when someone lets us down, dwelling on it will only bring us misery.

And so we need to shift our focus. There are two steps to shifting our focus. The first is asking Jesus to shift our focus. Prayer is always the best first step. The second is a bit harder. It’s discipline. The Holy Spirit can help us with that :); just ask Him! Part of that shift/discipline is simply shifting our minds to a different subject when our mind seeks to dwell on the hurt.

We are “in charge” of our minds. We get to decide what we will think about. We can either dwell on a past hurt of dwell on the happy day we have planned for tomorrow. We can either dwell on the job we lost or dwell on the new possibilities ahead.

Happiness is a Choice, given to us by God Himself. But it is a choice we need to make.
