Good Morning,

In the gospel of JOHN 13,34 it is written: "A new commandment I give to you (God's children jb) that you love one another as I have loved you, that you also love one another, for by this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another".  And then in JOHN 14.15, He said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments.  For He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me, and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love Him and manifest Myself to him." V 21.  Jesus said it, I believe it,  For He is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Jesus.  Maybe those who call themselves God's children should go back and read this again.

Good Morning,

The greatest gift given to us from above is Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was sent by God and who willingly left His heavenly home to die for the sins of the world.  Not His sins, because He was sinless, but your sins and mine that we might be reconciled with God and have hope of eternal life.  This He done out of pure sweet love from above.  For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son. John 3.16.  By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.  And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3.16.  How sweet, how precious was this love from above which was given to us, not to keep to ourselves but to share with others.  Today let's focus on Jesus the Christ and the love He has gifted us with and share it with others. Read 1 Corinthians 13.

Christians are like sheep living in the midst of wolves because of the evil days we are in.  Therefore we must not be foolish, but wise in our speech and understanding.  Always keeping the will of the Lord, rejoicing in His goodness and always praying with thankful hearts to God the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  If we will let our light shine brightly, someone may see our good works and praise our Heavenly Father.  So always love God, do good, hate and expose evil.  This is the will of the Father for us.

Thanks for reading.

Good Morning,

In Galatians 5, we are told to walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  There is a constant battle going on inside us between the Spirit and the flesh and these two are contrary to each other. Continue reading from Galatians5.16 to the end of the chapter and note especially Galatians5.24-25.  To walk the Spirit is to walk in love, having the mind of Christ.  And when I look at 1 Corinthians 13 and read what love is and is not.  I have to ask myself, do I show this love to others and do I truly have the mind of Christ. I most certainly can do better!

Good Morning,

Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; For the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. (James 1.19-20).  He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding; but the hasty of spirit exalts folly. (Proverbs 14.29).  Let not angry words pass through the lips of the disciple towards others, for He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he who takes a city. (Proverbs 16.32). Beloved do not avenge yourselves.  But rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "vengeance is mine, I will repay" says the Lord.  Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgives you. ( Ephesians 4.32).
