Risk vs Reward…..Eternal damnation or Eternal Glory. Jesus is worth the Risk and Reward, for trusting and following him! Satan on the other hand is a liar.
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;
1 Peter 1:14-15 NASB

This verse reminds me of another one of David’s psalms. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, the Lord is with me”. Going through a tough time? I pray this verse may give you strength!
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
Psalms 30:5 NASB

We walk by Grace through Faith, by the blood of Jesus. One day, he will return, and make all things right, in this world. Oh, what a Glorious day, that will be. We look forward to your return, Jesus. Until then, we remain faithful to your word, and your promises.
Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

Devotion to God…. let us lay aside every encumbrance that so EASILY (emphasis added), besets us. (Heb 12)
“Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!
Deuteronomy 6:4 NASB

This is what Jesus said to Peter about love devotion to God, in John 21.
15 So when they had a finished breakfast, Jesus *said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He *said to him, “Tend c My lambs.”†‡ 16 He *said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He *said to him, “ a Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He *said to him the third time , “Simon, son of John, do you 1 love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him a the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus *said to him, “ c Tend My sheep. †
18 “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger , you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.”† 19 Now this He said, a signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He *said to him, “ Follow Me!”
Lord, thank you, that you remind us of the right path. As my father, used to always say from Proverbs, Trust in the Lord, with all your heart, Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will make you path straight. Thank you Dad, for your example, and thank you Lord for the conscience you gave us all, and for your Holy Spirit that convicts us to do what’s right.
Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Wisdom is from God, so be listening for his voice.
He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof Will dwell among the wise.
Proverbs 15:31 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.15.31.NASB
Not only is this promise, for eternity, but it is for today. Jesus, didn’t give his life, so that we can sit around and wait, for the perfect life in Heaven. He gave it so we might live now, in light of this promise, with a hope that shines a light on the Good News, that the King has come, and goes to prepare a place for us. We can live now, in freedom, from the bondage from sin, and live for him! If you are hurting today, I pray, that Jesus would show you comfort, in the midst of your trial. May you feel the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Amen.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.

Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and has Sat down at the right hand of the throne of God! Hebrews 12:21
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25 NASB

Let’s keep it simple. Jesus said, Love God, & Love People! Let me know how it goes for you today, or even if you were the recipient!
And He said to him, ” ‘ you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart , and with all your soul , and with all your mind .’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘ you shall love your neighbor as yourself .’
