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.

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!

Dad, finally put to rest.

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

Alan

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.

Gut check….Do we reflect to our fellow Christians, this belief and hope in Our daily lives?  Just as important, do we display that through our actions, to a lost and fallen world?

 


and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:8‭-‬9 NASB

Bible says, Pick your Friends Wisely!  


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.

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

https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.145.18.NASB

Solid relationships, speak truth in love, not lies behind a person’s back.

Better is open rebuke Than love that is concealed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.
Proverbs 27:5‭-‬6 NASB
