Good Morning,

The child of God lives by faith, not by sight and has great hope in hearing on judgement day, good job faithful servant, enter into My rest.  Our focus should not be on the here and now, but on the hope of getting to be with Him eternally.  By this our love is perfected by us and we should be glad, thankful and rejoice even though for a little while in this life we may be grieved by troubles, trials, tribulations and temptations, and the genuineness of our faith which is more precious than gold that perishes even having been been tested by fire, may result in praise, glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus the Christ.  Peter said, though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with great joy filled with glory obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1.6-9.

Good Morning,

We all have memories of past life experiences, some good and some not so good.  Our past experiences are what make us what we are today. But we sometimes consume so much of our time on memories that we lose sight of our God, His Son and our purpose in life.  Some things are difficult to forget, still we must grow in the Lord adding self control to our faith.  This is necessary if we are to live a God centered life in the present time and make good memories for tomorrow. It may not be easy, but God gives us strength and courage to endure.

This message is to self.

Good Morning,

Brethren, if you become discouraged in this life and are experiencing heaviness through manifold temptations, take it to the Lord in prayer; let your requests be made known to God.  If you are in the midst of troubles, He will revive you.  Do not let your heart be troubled, but try to increase your belief in God and Christ.  Concentrate on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good report, for in these things is virtue and praise. Philippians 4.6-8. and you will have the peace of God in your heart, a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Good Morning,

Paul and the other Apostles, endured much suffering for the cause of Christ.  But their sufferings helped them to be content in whatever circumstances they found themselves in, even in prison, and when we look closely at their teachings, this is a large part of the Christians life.  Take time today to look at all the blessings God showers on us through His word and try harder to make this day and every day, a day of rejoicing just as God meant it to be.

Dear disciple,

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not for I am an unchanging God whose love, mercy, and grace will always be with you who remain. faithful to Me.  I am your refuge and strength, a very present help in time of danger. Proverbs 46.1.  When all else fails, when friends and family turn against you, turn to Me and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. My yoke is easy and My burden is light. See Matthew 11.28.  When everyone else turns you away, Jesus will take you in.  Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else will be added unto you. Matthew 6.33.
