Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your beautiful creation of the animal world. Lord, I am personally thankful for all the wonderful pets that I have had throughout my lifetime. They have been, and are a great joy in my life. I pray for the safety and health of them. Lord, I pray that men will care for the animals in this world properly. Change men's hearts that are guilty of exploiting the animal kingdom all over the world. Bless the creatures of the sea,…

You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams.



But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by…

What we believe about God determines everything about us.

In Ephesians 1.1-2, Paul referenced that grace and peace flow from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ…  which made me think about my definition, my view of God, and…

“Such obedience is the will of God…. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cloak for vice.” 1Pt.2:15-16

Reflection:

   Human beings are free but remain forever subject to God. Thus freedom is protected against the abuses that produce evil.

   Do I feel fully responsible for everything I do or neglect to do?

Prayer:

   “Omnipotent Father, make me faithful to all my duties. Show me Your will and let it be my sole rule of conduct.…

God is . . . (what you said).

Greetings, dear Friends! 

How often we read Scripture verses that reference our great and mighty God yet never stop to consider our understanding of who he is … and just what that knowledge might mean to us on a daily basis.  Our knowledge of…

Learn from Apostle Paul’s and Job’s life lessons,

for faith’s gold will be tested and purified;

tribulations are faced by God’s daughters and sons,

but only through Christ - can one be justified.

The troubles of the day will eventually find us;

but will you be prepared by the principles of Love?

Remember the divine words of the Lord Christ Jesus

and draw strength from His righteous Kingdom above.

The rain falls on both the Just and Unjust;

so…

“When a person strikes you on the right cheek, turn and offer him the other. Mt.5:39

Reflection:

   Persons possessed by evil do not improve when evil is paid back with another evil. They are conquered only by goodness.

   To bear wrongs in patience is the real meaning of love and only this has redeeming value. Am I prepared for such love?

Prayer:

   “Eternal God, help me to suffer for others that I may obtain Your blessings for them…

Achieving God’s gift of peace is one of the best qualities we Christians can possess. The moment we lose this sense of peace with God, we instantly become flooded with anxiety or fear which often leads to depression.

Every day, most of us battle through obstacles and problems in our lives. This makes it easy for us to lose our composure and sometimes, we find ourselves digging our own ditch. Even the Apostle Peter isn’t exempt from these trying…

                                                      Nations in your hands

  Today, our mandate from the Lord is to earnestly pray for our country. The Holy Spirit does impress this point upon me/you now as never before. This is an urgent message that must be conveyed to every child of God. The welfare of our nation is indeed in our hands. We are responsible for the welfare of our country. You are born in this country for the Lord’s…

Who is God to You?  Ephesians 1.2

Paul offers grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ … all good, actually great!  But it makes me think—who is this God who offers…

“Jesus made no answer.” Lk.23:9

Reflection:

   Jesus never forces our will or our love. He remains silent when we renounce Him by sin or by our lack of response to the graces He sends us.

   When we feel He is far away, we should examine our attitude toward Him.

Prayer:

   “My Savior, stay near me. Make me always hear Your voice and do everything You say to me. In the name of Jesus I pray. AMEN!!!”

Who is God, really?  Ephesians 1.2

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ . . .

Grace, then peace.  …

“My hour has not yet come. Jn.2:4

Reflection:

   The “Hour of God” unites us with God and frees us from human beings. God does not fall short. When His Hour comes, He intervenes.

   Hence, we need more patience and trust in His holy will and in His Divine Providence.

Prayer:

   “Heavenly Father, let me place everything in Your hands. Guide me in the way of my life and make me obey Your Divine will with firm faith. . In the name of…

Praise God, He's helping me! I'm alot better than I was this earlier today.

I really want to be used by Him, to know my purpose. I admire the faith of brothers and sisters overseas. They are so bold for the Lord, I want that kind of faith.

I need start listening to the Holy Spirit more than I do [good thing for Grace]. This is so exciting!

How can you know if you're getting spiritually attacked or if it's just life? It seems like everything has turned upside down since I woke up. If it is an attack do you think it's because I've been trying to make tracts again? This song describes how life is right now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPadSoXbp-4 

The thing is I'm in so much pain [by pain I mean more than just physically being sick] right now it's even harder than…

“Say ‘Yes’ when you mean ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ when you mean ‘No.’” Mt.5:37

Reflection:

   Honesty must be complete; otherwise it is dishonesty. Only by perfect, unconditional honesty can people’s confidence be won, not by affirmations and oaths.

   The confidence that is lost by dishonesty cannot be regained by a superabundance of affirmations.

Prayer:

   “God of truth, grant that everything I say or do may come from a contrite and upright…

Dear Heavenly Father, What a wonderful time we live in...the days just before your second coming. Thank you that You have chosen me and all of my brothers and sisters for this great day of the Lord. May we all prepare our hearts before You so that we will not fail to accept the call that is on each of our lives. We are all called to serve You. Some presently have the high honor of raising their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, while others…
