It’s impossible to be married without ever being wounded. It’s impossible to raise a family without ever being wounded. People will always hurt each other no matter how much they love you. Because we are all human.

I have hurt those I love and they have hurt me. This is part of loving someone on earth and being loved by another human being. The only One who will never cause us pain is God. Just as the only One that we can always Trust is God.

All people, including me, will at times let someone down that we really love; will hurt someone that we truly love, that is life on earth. And although we forgive them, the hurt may still exist. So where and how do we show them that we still love them? A hug can be a great place to start.

But the question really is, what do we do now to heal that hurt? We pray for them and for ourselves. And if that hurt does not go away right away, we keep praying. It’s truly amazing how much prayer heals us, and sometimes them.

Thank You Jesus 🙂

We live in times that are so deceptive. Sadly, the world that many people see is not the world we live in. And God’s Will which is so all important, is often unseen and not followed.

But there is a way to protect ourselves from the blindness that overwhelms so many. The Holy Spirit can protect us. It is the Holy Spirit that can help us to see ourselves and the world the way it really is. As God sees it!

For it is not man’s approval we need, but God’s!

“And for this reason God will send them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie” – 2 Thessalonians 2:11

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come…evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” – 2 Timothy 3:1, 13

We live in an the Age of Deception and we live in the Age of Apostasy. And the only way to see the truth is through the Holy Spirit. That is why we need to ask the Holy Spirit to show us God’s Truth and God’s Will, before it’s too late.

And remember, Israel is the litmus test!

A Pastor said: “In essentials unity. In non-essentials liberty. In all things charity”. Lately there has been much debate among Christians as to what are the essential beliefs for a Christian.

There are definitely some essentials. But who decides what those essential are. God does.

God left us His Word, the Holy Bible, to instruct us and we should ask the Holy Spirit to read it with us so that we can understand exactly what the essentials are.

But while we are doing that, we need to remember that in “all things charity”.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”- John 13:34-35

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” – Galations 6:2

Love is an action verb. If we want to truly love each other, we need to take action 🙂

Harder times are coming. We know that. For some, they have already come. But God knows our problems. Our needs. For some, food is needed. For others, they are plagued with an illness that just won’t heal. For still others, their need is for a home to shelter them.

There is a tendency for people to think they are on their own. That we must fulfill our own needs, because no one else will. But we forget that we have a Father who loves us very much. There is a verse in the Bible:

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” – Matthew 6:23-34

Our Father knows what we need and He loves us. We need not fear.

We just need to change our focus from our problems to our Provider:

“Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’- Isaiah 41:10
