Jesus Said, “WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN IS MY BROTHER AND SISTER AND MOTHER.” MATTHEW 12:50 *NIV
Now it is written that; YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST, FOR ALL OF YOU WHO WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST HAVE CLOTHED YOUR SELVES WITH CHRIST. THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, SLAVE NOR FREE, MALE NOR FEMALE, FOR YOU ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS. GALATIANS 3:26-28
Further; BECAUSE YOU ARE SONS, GOD SENT THE SPIRIT OF HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS, THE SPIRIT CALLS OUT, “ABBA, FATHER.” SO YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND SINCE YOU ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN HEIR. GALATIANS 4:6-7
CONSEQUENTLY, YOU ARE NO LONGER FOREIGNERS AND ALIENS, BUT FELLOW CITIZENS WITH GOD’S PEOPLE AND MEMBERS OF GOD’S HOUSEHOLD, BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, WITH JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF AS THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE. EPHESIANS 2:19-20
So; DEAR FRIENDS, NOW WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, AND WHAT WE WILL BE HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE KNOWN. BUT WE KNOW THAT WHEN HE APPEARS, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS. 1 JOHN 3:2
So, when ever you are feeling down and depressed, just think about who you are, an heir of your Heavenly Father! That fact should cheer you up indeed! Amen!
Have a wonderful day!
Let us walk in the Light.

ARISE, SHINE; FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME! AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD IS RISEN UPON YOU. FOR BEHOLD, THE DARKNESS SHALL COVER THE EARTH, AND DEEP DARKNESS THE PEOPLE; BUT THE LORD WILL RISE OVER YOU, AND HIS GLORY WILL BE SEEN UPON YOU. ISAIAH 60:1-2 *NKJV
Now think spiritually here, for the “light” is the magnificent glory of our Heavenly Father! As His children we are reflectors of His “light,” so COME AND LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD. ISAIAH 2:5
Remember that our Savior, Jesus Christ said, “YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY THAT IS SET ON A HILL CANNOT BE HIDDEN. NOR DO THEY LIGHT A LAMP AND PUT IT UNDER A BASKET, BUT ON A LAMP STAND, AND IT GIVES LIGHT TO ALL WHO ARE IN THE HOUSE. LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.” MATTHEW 5:14-16
So, it is my prayer that you are already walking in God’s Glorious Light! If not now would be a great time to start! Ask God to fill you with it. For you will find that to be a truly wonderful experience, and don’t worry; though God’s Great Light is brilliant, it is guaranteed not to give you a sunburn!
Now, may you have a bright shiny day that is filled with God’s Love! Amen.
Beloved, let us love one another!

FOR I AM PERSUADED THAT NEITHER DEATH NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS NOR PRINCIPALITIES NOR POWERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT NOR THINGS TO COME, NOR HEIGHT NOR DEPTH, NOR ANY OTHER CREATURE, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. ROMANS 8:38-39 *NKJV
God fills us with His love, and He wants us to share that great love with others. So, BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER: FOR LOVE IS OF GOD; AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD. HE WHO DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, FOR GOD IS LOVE. 1 JOHN 4:7-8
So why not show your love for others each and every day. After all, it’s written: YOU SHALL NOT TAKE VENGEANCE, NOR BEAR ANY GRUDGE AGAINST THE CHILDREN OF YOUR PEOPLE, BUT YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF: I AM THE LORD. LEVITICUS 19:18
Now you can do that by being a good friend, and lending a hand when someone is in need. It is also as simple as smiling and saying hello to every one you meet, and asking them how their day is going. Therefore let your love light shine brightly. Yes indeed, LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. MATTHEW 5:16
Most important of all, remember what Jesus said, YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. ‘THIS IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT.’ AND THE SECOND, LIKE IT, IS THIS: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ THERE IS NO COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE. For then when you do, God will fill you with the same amount of His Love in return! Amen. MARK 12:30-31
Have a wonderful day.
Loving your enemies. Can you?

Jesus Christ said; “LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU, BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO MISTREAT YOU.” Luke 6:27-28 *NIV
As you know it is written: LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. [ MATTHEW 19:19 & LEVITICUS 19:18 ]. I would like to share with you this sent message. May it minister to you as it has to me. It is titled “The Dart Test”
The Dart Test
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr Smith. She says that Dr Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. Now one particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.
On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked, or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person’s picture.
Sally’s friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was very pleased with the overall effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn’t have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall.
Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. Needless to say a hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
It was then that Dr. Smith said only these words… “I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WHATEVER YOU DID FOR ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE BROTHERS OF MINE, YOU DID TO ME.” MATTHEW 25:40 No other words were necessary; as tears filled eyes of the students, as they focused only on the mangled picture of Jesus Christ.

So, always remember that whatever you do to them(your neighbors), you do to Him(Jesus Christ). Have a wonderful day.

WHY ARE YOU TROUBLED, AND WHY DO DOUBTS RISE IN YOUR MINDS? LUKE 24:38 *NIV
We are all Architects of our own future! The thoughts we have today dictate what our future holds for us tomorrow. Therefore a person who has positive thoughts shall have positive results, just as a person who has negative thoughts shall attract negative results in their life.
Therefore if we start our day by counting all of our blessings, and then try our best to have positive thoughts all day, our hearts will be merry! After all, BLESSINGS CROWN THE HEAD OF THE RIGHTEOUS, because, FROM THE FULLNESS OF HIS GRACE WE HAVE ALL RECEIVED ONE BLESSING AFTER ANOTHER. [ PROVERBS 10:6 & JOHN 1:16]
After all, EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF THE HEAVENLY LIGHTS, WHO DOES NOT CHANGE LIKE SHIFTING SHADOWS. JAMES 1:17
So, SING AND MAKE MUSIC IN YOUR HEART TO THE LORD, ALWAYS GIVING THANKS TO GOD THE FATHER FOR EVERYTHING, IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. EPHESIANS 5:19-20
Have a wonderful day feeling blessed, and may God’s Grace be with you! Amen!
