Help us remember, Lord, that you allow us, to go through trials, so that we choose you. This life, will have many tests and trials, but for those who remain in their faith in Jesus, (Not in their own self), will enter into your kingdom with joy. There will be no more sorrows, no more pain, no more sickness, no more sinful nature. So…..let us take joy in Jesus word’s, take heart, I have overcome the world!
For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
COLOSSIANS 4:2 NASB

Thank you Jesus, that we can find REST, in knowing that we find salvation, by faith, through Grace. We don’t need to be weary, trying to earn our salvation, but find joy in pleasing you, by your work on our behalf through your life, death, and resurrection. My we shout it from the rooftops, that Jesus saves us, from our own sinful ways! Can I get an AMEN?
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
MATTHEW 11:28 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/mat.11.28/2611
We can be deceived by our own sinful hearts. The Lord knows our hearts, and is not deceived, nor can we deceive him. Trust in him and seek his ways, and he will guide us.
Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
Proverbs 21:2 NASB
Are you filled with the spirit? If not, then why? See below for a link to know how you can be filled with the spirit, if you are a believer. If you are not a believer, you need the other link, for becoming a believer.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Thank you Jesus, for revealing yourself, when even 2 or 3 gather together in your name.
In context, Christ was referring to discipline (training), for purposes of restorating a brother or sister from sin. This could be used for fellowship or worship as well, that Christ would be there.
For where two or have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”
Matthew 18:20 NASB
Faith, Hope, Love…….but the greatest of these is Love.
The verse below, has great depth and meaning, but this blog (for now), is not for a deep, in depth study. Just know, Love covers a multitude of sins. Thank you Jesus, for showing us what perfect Love is.
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, ” you shall love your neighbor as yourself .”
Galatians 5:14 NASB
Are you bearing fruit or are you not? Are you a Christian, or are you just giving lip service that will not be acceptable?
If there is no fruit, you will be taken away. That is not a place you want to be. Pray that the Lord would help you fully see that you might produce fruit. If you are bearing fruit (true believers), the sin in your life will be pruned away, that you may produce more fruit! How great for those who believe, to have God help us, throw off the sins that hold us back. This is a process, that does not happen over night. May we hand over to God, those sins, so that we might not have to go through the painful process of pruning as much. Let us hope for and wait, for that day when we are called home, to be fully complete, lacking in nothing!
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:2 NASB
Are you going through the motions with God…….Don’t think he doesn’t know. He desires relationship and devotion, but hypocrisy he will deal with. Read the rest of the chapter to see. May we humble ourselves before you LORD. You are a gracious God who Loves us. You care enough to discipline us, when we elevate ourselves above you, to bring us back in the fold.
Then the Lord said, “Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,
