Jesus Especially Loves Children!

**Seen while Praying Rosary: A very poor boy!**

“So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.”-Psalm 106:10

Jesus Is The Promise Kept :)

I saw Jesus covered in Rainbows. He wore a long robe and His entire robe and His face were covered in Rainbows 🙂

We have always known that the Rainbow is a sign of God’s Promises Kept! 🙂

It’s not a symbol of any organization here on earth, because the Rainbow belongs to God. It always has and it always will, because God created it! The Rainbow will always be a symbol of God’s Promises Kept! 🙂

Jesus is the Greatest Promise Kept. Despite the horrific suffering, both for Jesus and all who loved Him, we are Saved by God’s Great Sacrifice and Love!

May we learn to love as much as G0d does 🙂

Prepare, Pray and Be Ready!

Welcome Puerto Rico :)

Do Not Fear; God Will Show Us The Way :)

” Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path”-Psalm 119:105

With the “left” so focused on attacking Christians and especially Bible-Believing Christians, it is more important than ever to memorize Bible verses and “hide them in our heart”. That way, no one can ever steal them from us by re-writing the Bible or by separating us from God’s Word. For it shall live in us-always 🙂

And by focusing on “hiding God’s Word in our heart”, we will find we fear LESS and focus MORE on Heaven which lasts forever, rather than the temporary fears that we face on earth!

Being Grateful :)

One of the reasons that sinners are the so very grateful is because they know they need a Savior and they are incredibly grateful. Sometimes we go to church and actively Follow Christ, but we forget just how Blessed we are 🙂

Personally, I am so grateful for God’s CONSTANT presence in my life. He is with me in good times to share in my joy and in hard times to help me through.

I read somewhere that it helps people with stress tremendously to write down 5 things that they are grateful for each day.

So we need to write down our list and Thank God for Blessing us with each of them!

God Loves All People :)

So often we hear the question asked, “What happens to people who do not believe in Jesus?”

So let me be clear, the only way to Heaven is through the acceptance of Jesus Christ and Following Him. That’s the only safe way, it’s the only way written about in the Bible.

Do we, as human beings who love others, hope that God makes an acception for some. Of course we do ?. Because we are just human beings. But if we truly love that person, then we need to be honest with them and tell them the Truth of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible. Because Pastor Schaeffer is right, Jesus warned us about Hell because He loved us and didn’t want us to go there. We need to do the same for those we love.

And Jesus told us how to get to Heaven, a place He prepared for us, for the same reason. He loves us. And we know that is true, because no one would suffer so for someone they didn’t love ?

A friend of mine asked me what happens to people in countries who are not Christian, such as the Middle East? Jesus has appeared to many people in countries such as these, and will continue to do so until He comes again. To assume that people in other countries have not had the opportunity to know and accept Jesus is a mistake. We really don’t know what Christ does in other countries.

And this is also where Trust comes in. We know that Jesus loves us All, no matter where we live. Just as we know that God is Merciful and Just. When it comes to others, we need to Trust that God will do what is right by All people, because we know that God Loves All People.

And we need to recognize that people make their choice-Heaven or Hell, during this life on earth. And as much as we may wish to, we don’t get to make it for them, because it is a choice God gave them.

There are those who would attempt to discourage us from sharing the Great News Of Jesus Christ. Don’t let them, for it IS Great News. For Jesus has not only made a way to Heaven for us, He will help us in this life as well ?

Will America Become Hong Kong?

And will we have the courage and faith that they have?

From Worthy Devotionals:

My Friends, claim your gifts!

Matthew 7:9-11 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

“Another great preacher whose writings I love to read is John R. Rice. He wrote, “I once imagined I was in Heaven, walking along with the Angel Gabriel. I said, “Gabe, what is that big building over there?”

“You’ll be disappointed,” he answered. “I don’t think you want to see it.” But I insisted, and he proceeded to show me floor after floor of beautiful gifts, all wrapped and ready to be sent.

“Gabriel, what are all of these?”

He said, I thought rather sadly, “We wrapped all these things, but people never called for them.”

There are gifts and an abundance of blessings to be received from heaven — but we need to claim them as our own! We receive not because we’ve asked not.

My Friends, when we ask the Lord in humility and expectation for His goodness, He will answer! Then we’ll be better equipped to do the great things He has in store for us.”

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

Faith and courage are gifts. When the times comes, and it will, we need to claim them 🙂

Don’t Let Anger Win!

Ending their prayer for the opening of the “new” congress with Amen awoman, our nation has chosen its path: Judgement.

This year, it will be difficult not to become angry with some of the actions we are forced to witness. We will be angry at the lack of respect of our Lord, the mistreatment of good people, the laws passed by Congress… and so much more…

But as the Lord says in Romans 12:19, “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord” We need not “get even”, in the end, God will see that Justice is done.

But that still leaves the emotion of our anger to deal with. What can we do with that? We can ask our Father in Jesus’ Name to lighten that burden, for it is too heavy for us to carry. And we can consciously work at remembering to pity those who do not follow Christ. For when we truly think about it, one day in Hell is too long. Imagine an eternity? It’s not a fate we would wish anyone.,,

So when anger fills your heart, justified or not, empty it. Remember that steady determination will accomplish much more than uncontrolled anger. Instead, shift your focus. Focus on your future in Heaven and on Jesus who will bring us there. Focus on the natural beauty of the world that God created for us. Focus on those you love.

Ask God in Jesus’ Name for the Peace that only He can give. Ask the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ Name for Help. Pray Always, especially when you don’t feel like it.

As the saying goes, “Never Give Up & Never Give In”. If we fall, and we will, with Christ’s Help, GET UP! We KNOW where we are going. And we KNOW how to get there. Follow Jesus. Trust God. And we will meet in Heaven-together 🙂

God Is Always Faithful!

Doubt Creeps In, Where Only Faith Belongs.

I wish I could say that I have never had any doubts, but that would not be true. And that’s okay. Remember Thomas? Jesus understands ?

Do we doubt that Jesus is real, no. For even Satan knows Jesus is real. I think when doubt creeps in, it is more subtle than that and has more to do with our own insecurities. We do not really doubt God’s Goodness, but our own.

But God is Faithful, even when we are not. He loves us, even when we feel unlovable. He loves us every second of every minute of every day. We just need to remember that ?

And Thank Him 🙂

Because Faith is not about how we feel on any given day, but rather who we choose to follow every single day ?

Follow Jesus 🙂

In A World That Seems So Unjust; God IS Always Just :)

¹⁷“Yet your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But it is their way that is not just. ¹⁸If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, they will die for it. ¹⁹And if a wicked person turns away from their wickedness and does what is just and right, they will live by doing so. ²⁰Yet you Israelites say, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ But I will judge each of you according to your own ways.”-Ezekiel 33:17-20

Clearly, God is Just. We may not always like that He is Just. After all it would be so much easier if God would let us do whatever we want, lol. But that’s not the way it is… 🙂

It says in the New Testament that we “are Saved by Faith”. And that’s true. But if we have “faith” in Jesus Christ, then we believe in Him. And if we believe in Him, as a friend once told me, than we need to believe and do what He said. (see James 2: 14-26 – “Faith without works is Dead“)

“Love your God with your whole heart and soul, and love each other as yourselves.” No easy task, but that pretty much covers it all! And the Holy Spirit is here to help us do that; He’s our Helper and we just need to ask Him 🙂

But if we do believe in Jesus, we will believe and do as He said, today.
