“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.“-1 Corinthisans 13

Earthly love always seems to be based on performance. Even with those who love us the most, there is a minimum behavior that is expected.

But this is not the way of Jesus. He loves us no matter what we do. And He will never leave us. We could be a drug addict laying in the gutter; we could be the most selfish, evil person in existance, we could have rejected Him until our dying breath and then accepted Him, and He would still love us. And He would still be with us forever. That’s how much Jesus loves us!

And we who believe in Jesus spend our whole lives learning and trying to love like Jesus does. Because that is what it is all about 🙂

Ever hear the song, Come Alive? As we approach Easter, it’s easy in the rush of all the preparations to forget to spend time with Jesus really thinking and praying about what is to come.

How much pain Jesus suffered so we could have a new bridge to God. So we could go to Heaven. Or how much Mary suffered watching Her only Son suffer so, and for so long. I don’t think I could do that!

I think of what is must have been like to hang on that Cross. Or what it must have been like for Mary to see Her Son up there and not be able to get Him down! I couldn’t do that! I don’t know anyone who could!

We can never give Jesus the Gift that He gave us. But there is a gift we can give Him. We can truly meditate on both His suffering and the suffering of those who were there. Those who knew and loved Him. We can even think about the suffering of Judas, how horrific he must have felt knowing he betrayed Jesus.

And we can once again give ourselves to Jesus and “Come Alive” once again 🙂

We can truly prepare for Easter!

Easter is on it’s way and saying Thank You to Jesus for His amazing sacrifice is a wonderful thing to do. I have personally put up a number of these signs. And placing these signs has given me so much joy it seems almost like the real gift is to me.

Still, when we put these signs up, we encourage other Christians. We let Jesus know just how truly grateful you are, so order one today! Below are links to the movement and how to get a sign(s) for you 🙂

“In 2016, a young teenager prayed for help to display Easter signs in his hometown of Asheboro, NC.”

Happy Easter!

Ever been one of those lambs? I know I have. For me, it was in that place where I was so busy living, I wasn’t really giving Jesus my all. At some point, we ALL realize that. It’s what we do about it that counts! That really means something!

It’s what Jesus does about it that Saves us :). He comes running after us to lead us Home. Jesus loves us so much and it is a love so vast and so deep it is beyond our understanding.

The closest we can come to understanding it is to think about how we love our child. There is nothing we would not do to save our child. We would run into a burning house, across a street in front of a truck, we would dive into the water to save our child even if we could not swim. That’s how Jesus loves us, only much, much more!

Let Jesus love you today 🙂

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!
