It is our HEART, that the Lord is interested in, not checking off a box, that WE did something right before him. When we humbly bow down before him, he lifts us up! It is him who must work through us, not We, ourselves. Thank you Jesus, that you gave us your helper, your Holy Spirit, and your word, to guide and direct us. ❤️

I don’t think “ Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz” (it’s a song, for you younger people, look it up), is what the verse on the image, is talking about! On the other hand, “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” , 1 Thess 5:18, is one of many Bible verses that is clearly God’s will for us. We need to be continually in God’s word, that we may clearly know his plan and will for us, along with communicating and listening to him, regularly. God Bless You Today and give you what you need……..Alan

There is no shame in suffering for being a Christian. They may hate us for our faith, but just as Jesus did, we must love those as Jesus loved us, when we were enemies of God. May God show mercy, just as he did to us, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Yet we have been set free by his Grace, through Jesus own love for us.

Salvation is free to all who come and drink from the water. The price that was paid was costly, but for those that come, they are freed from the bondage, of all that weighs them down in this fallen world. The message is simple, come. Please come? Don’t wait to the open invitation……….COME!

Forgiveness is a beautiful thing. How can we as sons and daughters of God, not forgive as well? Father, may we be reminded continuously, of the grace you have shown us, that we may show it to others.

Our slate is wiped clean, there is no memories of wrongs committed, we are free from the bondage of sin, our canvas is empty to start new! Jesus has taken the judgement off our backs for the wrongs done. Do we Believe this? Then let’s start this year with hope, for a new tomorrow, both now, and for all eternity. God is still on the Throne.

This path is long and weary at times, but we must do it in HIS strength, not our own. He will carry us, to where we need to go, in times when we don’t have the physical strength. Fill us with your spirit today, oh Lord. Your Power is made perfect in our weakness. Let us have compassion to love in the midst of darkness. You showed us the way, as you loved us, in spite of our own darkness and sin. How can we not do more, than just love those who love us. Forgive those, as you have forgiven us.

If my people, will humble themselves and pray, then I the Lord, will hear in heaven, will forgive their sins, and heal their land.

May the Lord, grant the same Grace, to the United States of America, as we humbly bow before him, in repentance, for our own sins. May we pray and seek him diligently. May we reflect the same love to those around us, and to the nations, in the Power of the Holy Spirit, and for his names sake. Amen!

The Gospel is a reminder that we are loved , we are reconciled, we are sons and daughters of God…….All because of Jesus…….Just as I am. Do you believe? It may be your last chance to have Faith in something that will not disappoint. Choose Jesus.

This is the mourning over sin, and godly sorrow that leads to repentance. The comfort is the forgiveness and salvation.
