Don’t run or hide, from your problems!

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
James 1:2‭-‬3 NASB

https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.2-3.NASB

Look at it this way.  God gives us these trials (not temptations), to affirm our faith.  He wants to be able to say to himself, good job you are faithful in this area.  Then he will test us in another area of our lives.   He doesn’t want us to remain as a baby in our faith.  It is through this process, that we are able to help others in THEIR Faith.  That is why we count it joy.  Not because it may be fun, going through the testing, but because we are becoming  mature and complete.  One day we can enter heavens gates with the sound of, “Well done, good and faithfull servant”!  

Thank You Lord.

How do we relieve stress?

Arw27

When we throw off everything that drags us down, we are freed from a heavy load.  We must turn to Jesus, and not our false idols and dreams.  Jesus is the one who will ultimately allow us,to fulfill all that we are set on this earth, to do.

I’m not saying in any way that this is necessarily easy, but certainly rewarding!

casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NASB

Jesus shines a light on the powers of dark and evil.  They cannot overcome his work.  His brightness shines through the darkness and he does overcome the darkness.

The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Dad, finally put to rest.

Arw27

Yesterday, we put my father to rest. For me, I felt like he was at rest, the moment he passed, from this life to the next.

Culturally, back here, it is a big deal to look at the Shell of a body and find finality with the person’s death.

I don’t get it so much, but respect it. Definitely, the burial does make a lasting impression that he is gone.

Anyway, he joins quite a few family members, who leave a legacy of loving God and loving and serving people.

I will miss you Dad, in physical form, but your legacy and spirit will live FOREVER!

With Love

Me, an accident? I don’t think so.

My father went to be with the creator of all things on 10-10-18. What a new home, he has found. Someday, I will get to join him, when my time has come, and he takes me home. It will be a great reunion with Dad and Mom and many relatives who have gone before them.

Bible says, Pick your Friends Wisely!  

Arw27


A man of too many friends comes to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 NASB

https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.18.24.NASB

Jesus, who is the author and perfector of our faith (HEB 12), also calls US his friends.

Who can reconcile the vast expanse of holiness, between God and ALL of Mankind?

Arw27

For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:5‭-‬6 NASB

https://bible.com/bible/100/1ti.2.5-6.NASB

What can we do?  Nothing, but recognize the unfathomable gift of love, and fall at his feet and worship him.

Want to be set free from the power of sin and death?

Arw27


Put your trust and faith in Jesus, who has overcome all that is wrong in this world, and he will give you, life eternal.

and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
John 8:32 NASB

Need a friend?  Jesus is close by and always available to talk.

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
Psalms 145:18 NASB

Our hope is in a great king (Jesus), who shows great mercy to his followers.  

Arw27

This worlds government can never save us!  We put out faith and trust in one who will build a Holy Nation, that will last for all of eternity.  His kingdom will never end (Is 9: 6-7).

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
