“You too are living stones, built as an edifice of the spirit.” 1Pt.2:5
Reflection:
To be stones used in the building up of God’s temple! What an honor and distinction. But I must let myself be chiseled and molded by God. Otherwise I will be rejected by Him as a useless stone.
Am I always aware of this obligation?
Praise:
“My Father, I give You thanks because You take care of me. May Your will be accomplished in me. In the…

[Easter]
Greek:
pascha (GSN-3957), the Passover, as translated in 26 other places
(Matthew 26:2-19; Mark 14:1-16; Luke 2:41; Luke 22:1-15; John 2:13,23; John 6:4;
John 11:55; John 12:1; John 13:1; John 18:28,39; John 19:14; 2 Cor. 5:7; Hebrews
11:28). This is an unfortunate and absurd translation, as Easter was a pagan festival…

“I thought I had toiled in vain, and for nothing.” Is.49:4
Reflection:
God does not know the words “in vain.”
Whatever is done for the love of God remains and bears fruit for all eternity, even if it goes unrecognized in this world.
Prayer:
“Loving Father, do not look upon what I have done but upon what I aspired to do. Let Your blessings descend upon me and grant that, one day, my good will may share in the glory You have…

I find in this walk of life that when I am at my lowest ebb, that is when God is nearest to me. I originally come from Sunderland in the North East of England, U.K. The City Motto is in Latin "Nil desperandum auspice Deo", which means "Never despair trust God"
Good Bye means Go with God
A Dios also means Go with God as does Via con Dios
May God be with you and May He reign over you because God is good. God is your Father in…

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. (Galatians 6:1) Let's think on the phrase "Restore him gently" for a moment. This means in a kind warm loving way to refresh him/her in the lord and to talk & be understanding of others .To give aid and counsel to someone we see straying from God . This dosent mean judge , bible beat , condemn and…

“When you pray do not behave like the hypocrites.” Mt.6:5
Reflection:
Deceit and hypocrisy are poison to the soul. Nothing is hidden from God and He knows what we really are.
Can we attempt to be what we are not? God is not deceived by our pretenses.
Prayer:
“Eternal Light, kindly enlighten my spirit. Let me always walk in truth and humility before You. In the name of Jesus I pray. AMEN!!!”
JBU all !!!

Sawyer after being able to breath on his own was simply amazing the doctors. He was so ahead of schedule. Yes he was having episodes with his breathing, but was pretty much doing a lot on his own. He was now at 34 weeks gestation where the things he was accomplishing were two weeks early. A true miracle in their eyes.
We were so waiting for the day that Sawyer would be moved from his isolette to a bassinet. They were now slowly preparing him for that moment.
On Christmas Eve…

Sufficient for the day is the Lord’s grace,
although the day has troubles of its own;
remain standing on the foundation of faith,
for the secret… is going before God’s throne.
Daily measures of mercies and love are available,
since Christ our advocate is making intercessions
that lift us up – for when we eventually fall down,
as the result of our sinful transgressions.
Sufficient for the day is the Lord’s…

The morally deficient have no clue,
not finding God within their heart;
are they absorbed by corruption
and unwillingly from sin to depart?
Our Lord gazes down upon Mankind,
seeing the vileness of human deeds.
Do these workers of iniquity know anything
about meeting any of humanity’s needs?
So many souls are wickedly consumed,
analogous to the devouring of bread.
How unfortunate and Godless they…

“In giving alms you are not to let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Mt.6:3
Reflection:
To seek human gratitude and acknowledgment is to seek not God’s glory but to satisfy our own selfish pride.
Those who wish to please God must do good for His sake. Hence, every offering bears the mark of a true and unconditional dedication.
Prayer:
“Lord, grant me a pure love that neither knows nor wishes anything else…

We all have this battle in us, between self and doing God's will. Between loving our self and loving God. We will and always have fallen short of His glory. We have always gone against Him.The only time we do His will and truly love Him is when He Is living through us. Have you ever said,'' I can't believe what he or she just did or said,''? We probably all have. That's because we want credit for being good. That's how desperate we really are. It's awesome to know how forgiving He is and…

Be on guard because in latter times there will be a lot of seducing spirits going out. As the word of God says in 1 Timothy 4:1- Now the Spirit expressly say that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. Meaning some people will literally try to lead you astray from God and his word .And lead you straight to hell. As the word of God says in Acts 20:28-Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock among which the…

“That we have passed from death to life we know because we love the brothers.” 1Jn.3:14
Reflection:
Love for neighbor is the sign of new life in God. Those who bear God within them and love Him will also extend their love to their neighbor.
Those who show no concern for their neighbor show that they have not found the life in God, or that they have lost it again.
Prayer:
