EVERYONE, not just some people we like! I am guilty Lord, of not seeing that all people need to know you through your son, Jesus. It is not my place to choose. Forgive me. Father, fill us with you spirit, that we might represent you boldly, that many might come to know you.

Unbelievers will not be drawn to accept Christ if believers’ lives do not demonstrate the qualities God desires, including peace and holiness (cf. Jn 13:35 ; 1Ti 4:3 ; 1Pe 1:16 (MacArthur Study Bible)
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. ❤️
Father, may your words permeate our hearts and minds, that we might be both convicted, and encouraged, by your Holy Spirit, as we serve you today. May our words and deeds, be a reflection of who you are, today!
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.
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.
Faith is Hope, in the one true God, who manifested himself in in Jesus, who was in the form of a man. He was fully man and fully God. Any other Faith, will send you down the wrong path. John 14:6
Never Give Up…..If God is for us, who can stand against us. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Thank you Jesus!
Bad things happen, but when they do, whom will I Trust.

Jesus also said this….. In John 14:1-3.
1“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2“In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.3“If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
