Choose To Be Kind

Choose To Be Kind
Even When Life Is Hard

Ephesians 4:32 NLT
Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

♡🩷♡
Colossians 3:12
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Proverbs 31:26
When she speaks, her words are wise,
and she gives instructions with kindness.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

1 Peter 3:9
Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.

When Life Is Hard

Psalm 13
1 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest my enemy say,
“I have prevailed against him”;
Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

5 But I have trusted in Your mercy;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation.

6 I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Revelation 21:4
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

Psalm 56:8
You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle
;
Are they not in Your book?

Faith Saves

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡

Sins Forgiven
Faith Saves

Luke 7:47-50 NLT

47 “I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”

48 Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49 The men at the table said among themselves, “Who is this man, that he goes around forgiving sins?”

50 And Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

♡🩷♡
Hebrew 11:6 NLT
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

1 Timothy 1:14
Oh, how generous and gracious our Lord was! He filled me with the faith and love that come from Christ Jesus.

Matthew 9:2
Some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, my child! Your sins are forgiven.”

Mark 2:5
Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”

Matthew 9:3
But some of the teachers of religious law said to themselves, “That’s blasphemy! Does he think he’s God?”

Mark 2:7
“What is he saying? This is blasphemy! Only God can forgive sins!”

Luke 5:21
But the Pharisees and teachers of religious law said to themselves, “Who does he think he is? That’s blasphemy! Only God can forgive sins!”

Mark 5:34
And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”

Mark 10:52

Spit & Dust

 ♡~•~♡~•~🩷🄹🄴🅂🅄🅂🩷~•~♡~•~♡
Tuesday 24 September 2014

SPIT & DUST

I was listening to Christian singer Ri-An's latest song 'Made For More' and the album cover drew my attention. It is a man made of dust/sand rising from the dust. Immediately a thought came to mind of Jesus healing a blind man's eyes with his spit and mud. I was thinking that's how God created us, from the dust and Jesus spit on the ground and made mud to heal the man's eyes. God also knits/forms us in our mother's womb. I started crying at that thought. It came from Jesus. How awesome is our God!

♡🩷♡
Genesis 2:7 CEV
The Lord God took some soil from the ground and made a man. God breathed life into the man, and the man started breathing.

Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
John 9:6-7 CEV
6 After Jesus said this, he spit on the ground. He made some mud and smeared it on the man's eyes.
7 Then he said, “Go wash off the mud in Siloam Pool.” The man went and washed in Siloam, which means “One Who Is Sent.” When he had washed off the mud, he could see.

A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida
Mark 8:22-26 CEV
22 As Jesus and his disciples were going into Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch the man.
23 Jesus took him by the hand and led him out of the village, where he spit into the man's eyes. He placed his hands on the blind man and asked him if he could see anything.
24 The man looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once again Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes, and this time the man stared. His eyes were healed, and he saw everything clearly.
26 Jesus said to him, “You may return home now, but don't go into the village.”

Psalms 139:13 CEV
You are the one who put me together inside my mother's body,

Genesis 3:19 CEV
You will sweat all your life to earn a living;
you were made out of soil, and you will once again turn into soil.

A Weary World Rejoices

Holy Jesus, only begotten Son of God, the Word of God who manifested in the flesh, is God's gift from above to a world in need of a Saviour. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Jesus Christ brought light into the world and into our hearts. We ought to rejoice for what God has done for this wicked world and wretched sinners because God loves us. Jesus is the Light of the world, the Alpha and Omega, the I AM, our Saviour. Blessed be His holy name. Rejoice! Be glad! There is hope for sinners who repent.

God bless all who read here in Lord Jesus' blessed, holy name.

28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 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.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Moving Shadows
Psalms 39:6-7 NLT
We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.
And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

♡🩷♡
Psalms 49:10 NLT
Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth behind.

Ecclesiastes 2:18-19 NLT
¹⁸ I came to hate all my hard work here on earth, for I must leave to others everything I have earned.
¹⁹ And who can tell whether my successors will be wise or foolish? Yet they will control everything I have gained by my skill and hard work under the sun. How meaningless!

Luke 12:20 NLT
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’

1 Corinthians 7:31 NLT
Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away.

Malachi 3:17 NLT
“They will be my people,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. “On the day when I act in judgment, they will be my own special treasure. I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.

The grass withers and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the Lord. And so it is with people.
The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever.

James 1:9-11 NLT
Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them.
¹⁰ And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field.
¹¹ The hot sun rises and the grass withers; the little flower droops and falls, and its beauty fades away. In the same way, the rich will fade away with all of their achievements.

1 Peter 1:24 NLT
As the Scriptures say, “People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades.

None Should Perish

God loved the world so much that He gave us Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Let us not rejoice when our enemies fall. It will displease God. Christians, do not let your love wax cold because of sin increasing/lawlessness. God saved you and I and we were also rebellious against God and sinned against Him, yet He forgave us when we repented of our sins. Be patient with one another and with unbelievers. Rather pray for them than condemn them. We love much because we have been forgiven much. Well that's how it ought to be; that we love much.
See how much God loves all sinners, that Jesus died on the cross while we were yet sinners. His desire is that sinners should repent/believe in the name of Jesus/turn from their wicked ways and be saved. Run to Jesus all you sinners. He is waiting for you with open arms to receive you into the Beloved. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Who would shun a love such as this?🩷

Jesus Is God

JESUS, SON OF GOD

IS GOD MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH


Jesus is the Son of God.  Jesus is the Word of God.  In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Jesus is God manifest in the flesh!  Halleluyah!  Amen.

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
🌟Isaiah 7:14

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
🌟Matthew 1:23

For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
🌟Isaiah 9:6

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,

Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.

Eyes shut from seeing evil?

Greetings in Jesus' blessed Name.🤗💞  May God shine His face upon you and your family and all your loved ones today.
 
Our God is a devouring fire! A consuming fire! Let us live in holiness before Him, strive to not live in deliberate sin. Look at that last part of the verse "who shuts his eyes from seeing evil".
It makes me think of the filth people watch on television and in movies and the filth they lay their eyes on in magazines.
 
Let us as sanctified children of God guard our eyes against seeing evil. Satan uses every opportunity to seduce us into sin with the lust of the flesh. He does it through what we entertain with our eyes and what we listen to. Let us be wise as serpents and do only the will of our Father in heaven. All to His glory. 
 
What glory is there to the Holy Name of God when His blood-bought children continue to walk in willful sin? Because that reveals that we are not walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, we are still being controlled by our flesh. 
 
Yes, we as Christians do sin, but there is a sin not unto death and there is a sin that is unto death and that is a deliberate sin. Willful sin is so serious that we are told not even to pray for one who is in willful sin. One that is in willful sin drifts further and further away from Christ and will end up apostate because they are sinning deliberately and they do not care to stop.  Their consciences will be seared.
 
No one who is born of God practices sin because His seed abides in him and he cannot sin because he is born of God.
~1 John 3:9

The Secret Place

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
~Psalm 91:1 NKJV

That verse really grabbed my attention.  Who shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty?  He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High!
Lord Jesus tells us to go into our rooms when we pray and that our Father who is in the secret place and who sees in secret, will reward us openly.

When we pray to our heavenly Father we enter into His presence where He is in the secret place and Jesus said the kingdom of God is within us.  Jesus also said that if we love Him, we will keep His word and His Father will love us and He and Father will come to us and make their home with us.

Jesus also told us to remain (abide) in Him and for His words to remain in us.  When we are faithful to pray always, we abide in the presence of God and there is safety in abiding in the presence of God!

We now have boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.  We access the secret place of the Most High with confidence through faith in Jesus Christ.


Matthew 6:6;  Luke 17:21;  John 14:23-24;  John 15:7;  Hebrews 10:19;  Ephesians 3:12

Sin │ Forgiveness


Have you been indulging any sin in your life?  Sin grieves the Holy Spirit and when you pray while indulging in a sin, God will not hear your prayers.

If you repent of that sin though and you ask God's forgiveness, He will hear from heaven and forgive your sin because the blood of Jesus washes us and cleanses us from all sin.

Then all things become new and fresh and you can come to God in prayer without shame or guilt.  You can be steadfast in your prayers again.  Then you do not need to fear anymore because God is a God of great mercy.  You can forget about that sin, do not dwell on it, that you gave in to it, because God has forgiven and when He forgives He also forgets!  And so should you, forget about it.  It is like a river that flows past you and that water that flows past you disappears into the sea of forgetfulness.  Think of your transgression like that, because that is how it is with God.

Now that God has forgiven you, you can be happy again.  Though things were dark, all things are new again, like the morning.  Just like God's mercies are new every morning.

Be at peace.  God is loving, good, kind, forgiving when you repent with a sincere, remorseful heart.

“If you would prepare your heart,
And stretch out your hands toward Him;
If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
Because you would forget your misery,
And remember it as waters that have passed away,
And your life would be brighter than noonday.
Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.
~Job 11:13-17

Giving to God

Let us give our best when we help the poor, the needy. Jesus said if we've done it unto the least of his brethren, we've done it unto Him. Wouldn't we want to give the best food and drink and clothes to Jesus? Let us do likewise to the poor and needy.

Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

~•Amos 8:4-6

And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
~•2 Samuel 24:24

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
~•Matthew 25:40
