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

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;
Acts 3:19 NASB

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!”
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.
Luke 9:24 NASB

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
https://bible.com/bible/100/gal.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 .’
Matthew 22:37-39 NASB

Just as we have been chosen by God, with the attributes in this verse, we should reflect, as image bearers, the same attributes, through the strength and power of his Holy Spirit. Oh how blessed we are, to have a God who Loves us, in spite of ourselves.
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience;
Colossians 3:12 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/col.3.12/10846
God’s Words, will last, for all of Eternity. This world, is passing away. We must put our hope, in something that will last forever. That hope is in God, through Jesus work on the cross, and his resurrection.
1 Peter 1:23-24
23 for you have been a born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.
24 For, “ ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,
25 a BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.” And this is the word which was preached to you.
Taken from Isaiah 40: 6-8.
Isaiah elaborated on how transitory humanity is: here today, gone tomorrow. People pass away like plants under the hot breath of the withering E wind. James used this illustration to teach the folly of trusting in material wealth ( Jas 1: 10 , 11 ). Peter used it to illustrate the passing nature of everything related to humanity ( 1Pe 1: 24 , 25 ).
This verse reminds me of the old hymn, “Just a closer walk with thee”. What a wonderful reminder, to walk, hand in hand, with Jesus, moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, both now and forever!
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Jude 1:20-21 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jud.1.20-21/1092
The Gospel is truly liberating. In recognizing our sin, and Jesus taking that sin in our place, we have been pardoned by God. He never see our sin again. We are truly set free to serve him, and never have to worry, because even, in our failures, he is there beside us. Thank you Jesus.
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
