Hope in Jesus!

It is Friday here in Southern California.

I have not been able to blog because of my health. I am feeling good today. When you read my blogs, I hope and pray you are "Seeing Jesus Christ in me!" Jesus is the reason that I am alive today!

In Proverbs 23 & 24, the verse, "And my hope will not be cut off" is written. There are times in our lives when what we hope for seems so far away. For me, it is my health. The other day I had to get down on my hands and knees. I struggled mightily to get back up! I will be 55 years old on the 26th of this month. I will be 10 years Cancer Free on January 7th, 2019! My hope is that Jesus will help me regain my health. I realize that I must do my part in getting physically stronger.

Another verse that Jesus brought to my attention is Isaiah 40:29, "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." I know without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus helped me get off the ground! Why? I cried out to Jesus to help me get up😩!

Do not let your HOPE in JESUS be swallowed up by the evil in this world! Remember, Jesus' victory over evil!

Thank you for reading my blogs! Lord Willing, I will write more often😊!

JESUS WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU!

The Wide & Narrow Gate

Hello to you this Wednesday afternoon!

Today's verses are from Matthew 7: 13-14. Jesus is teaching to a large crowd. There are two gates, He says, "Enter though the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road is that leads to life, and only a few find it." 

 In this day and age that we are living in it sure seems like there are many people on that wide road! In my own life, I have family members on that wide road and it breaks my heart. They all know my belief in Jesus Christ. I am so grateful to be on the narrow road! The narrow road is much more difficult than the wide road for sure! However, I want to be on the road that leads me to heaven, no matter how hard and rocky and painful the narrow road can be!

OK, what do we do with all the people on the "wide road?" We pray for them! We pray for "Divine Appointments" with them! One thing we should not do is to judge them! Judgement is for God Almighty!!!

Honestly, we as Christ-Followers must learn that we are not to judge people who don't believe in Jesus. We are to witness to them with how we speak and love and in our actions. There is an old song I learned in church, "They will know we are Christians by our love!

May God continue to bless you this day!

LET US BE "HUMBLY BOLD AS WE LIVE FOR THE LORD!

 

Groundhog Day

I am hoping you are having a good day with the Lord!

My wife and I watched, "Groundhog Day" last night. I have seen this movie many times, yet this time it revealed something in me that I did not like. For those of you who have not seen this movie I will not tell you the whole story.

The main character in this movie is egocentric. He has to live the same day over and over and over again. What this movie revealed in me was just how selfish I have been throughout my life. Whew, that was extremely difficult to confess😁!

As I laid in bed last night I prayed and asked God to forgive me for being so egocentric. I felt his presence come over me. I am bound by gratefulness to God!

Jesus was a Servant King while he walked on this earth.

The verse that came to my mind is Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." You may be thinking, "How does this verse fit with being selfish?" Well, if we truly seek "his kingdom and his righteousness, then Jesus will reveal to you what needs to be purified. It is a daily walk with Jesus that will makes us more like him!

Thank you for reading my blogs! May God Bless you richly!

My favorite time of year!

Well, how about that!

It's Friday afternoon. To tell you the truth I am really tired. I want to share something great with you. It has not come to me yet. 

This morning I read about the rich young ruler in Luke 18:18. "He came and asked Jesus what he must do to gain eternal life? Jesus reminded him of the commandments. The rich young rule replied that he has kept all commandments." Jesus knew he was telling the truth. So, Jesus understanding where this young ruler's heart was told him, "You still lack on thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy." The rich young ruler left. Jesus did not try to bring him back! 

Have you ever wondered why Jesus did not pursue him? I know that Jesus wants all of our love and attention. Are you thinking...well, I just can't sit around all day and night meditating on Jesus and the Bible! Of course not! However, we are able to talk to Jesus all throughout our busy day. We are able to thank him for our food, our health, our job and all the people he puts in our path each and everyday!

Has Jesus asked you a question that pierces your heart? Has he asked you to give up something that is not good for you? To be honest with you, Jesus has told me to study the Bible more and watch less television. I do love the Bible! I have no excuse. I am still recovering from all my cancer treatments. My energy and my endurance is still not where it use to be before cancer. When I do watch television, I pause on the commercials and pray for someone or remember some of my favorite verses. Well by golly, I feel great and I don't have to watch those dumb commercials!

Jesus love you and me! He understands exactly where we are and what's in our heart! Be willing to give to Him whatever He asks and you will be thankful!

I am His,

THANK U JESUS!

Jesus answered...

A good afternoon to you!

Recently, I have learned that I am Lactose Intolerant. So, with the Jesus' help, I am going dairy and sugar free! I look forward to this new challenge in my life. Hopefully, I will lose some weight too💪!

The verses of today is from John 14:5-6. In verse 5, Thomas asked Jesus, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  

In this world today it is difficult to be a Christ Follower. However, when people ask us if we are a Christian, are we ready for persecution? Jesus dealt with it from is own people and from his home town and from his own family! I have had to deal with disowning from my siblings and two of my three daughters.

Are we ready to let people know that Jesus is the only way to heaven? About a year ago, I felt strongly led by the Holy Spirit to text all my siblings and my daughters and my son-in-law this message, "Jesus loves you and wants you back!"  Well, for those of you who do not know, I am the only Christ Follower in my family! The texts I received were angry! You would of thought that I cursed at them and that probably would have gone over more smoothly😏! 

My point today is that the name of Jesus is more offensive to the world than any other name! I love Jesus! He saved me cancer! What has Jesus done for you? My Mom tells me all the time, "I count my blessings every night when I go to bed!" That is a wonderful way to thank Jesus each day!

AMEN & AMEN!

WOW! God is Amazing!

A good day to you where you may be!

Reading the Psalms is so rewarding! In Psalm 139:16, David expressed, "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Ponder this verse for a few minutes.

Over the years, I have read Psalm 139 too many times to count. However, I read it last Monday and this verse made me say, "WOW!" God knew me even before I was created in my mother's womb! God knows all the days of my life! God has written in His book everything I will ever do and say! WOW! This one verse is so deep😧!

Think about the fact that this is only one verse from the entire Bible. We are able to read the Bible over and over and still receive from God his love and directions for our lives!

Thank you for reading my blog! My hope and prayer is that you are richly blessed! I give all the glory to God for what I share with you!

I am HIS,

WOW, GOD IS AMAZING!

God's Timing!

It's Saturday afternoon and I know I desire to write to you. I no idea of what to write! Help me Holy Spirit!

Have you heard a promise from God? He will always keep His promise to you! However, God's timing is different than ours. Psalm 27 says, "Wait for the LORD, take heart and wait for the LORD." Waiting is one of the hardest aspects of life!

Here I am nine and half years cancer free and I am still waiting to be fully recovered. I recently received a medication that I have not had for four months. This medication is helping me have more energy and clarity of mind. Four months of waiting takes its toll.

I understand that many of you are waiting on the LORD. I am! Let us keep trusting that the LORD knows the best time to give us what we are waiting for. Proverbs 3: 5-6 states, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." 

Waiting and trusting in the LORD is a test of our faith in Him! Be of good cheer because the LORD only tests HIS Children! I am so grateful to be a son of the one true King!

I am HiS

OH SO TRUE!
