Let your light shine before men.

LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GIVE GLORY TO YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. MATTHEW 5:6 *NKJV

YOU WERE ONCE DARKNESS, NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD. WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT. For, IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT AS HE IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSES US FROM ALL SIN. EPHESIANS 5:8EPHESIANS 5:8
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

WP-Bible plugin & 1 JOHN 1:6-71 JOHN 1:6-7
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: ⁷ But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

WP-Bible plugin

Now how do we walk in the light? Well, your little light shines every time you smile at someone, or do a good deed for them. Also when you take the time to help someone in need, or share God's Word with another. When you reach out to someone who is suffering with pain or sorrow. Thus when, through you actions, you show others what being a Christian is all about. Thus: LOVE YOU NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. MATTHEW 19:19MATTHEW 19:19
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

WP-Bible plugin

Now, if you think your little light is a dim one, well perhaps, as I believe, our little lights are magnified in the immense mirror of God's Love. Perhaps His reflectors are our hearts, spreading the flame of kindness to one another. Therefore, why not shine you light on others today? You will not only help them but it will warm your heart as well!

In Closing, just think, "If everyone would light, just one little candle, what a bright World this would be." Amen.

King David best described this, for in a Psalm he gave to Asaph, for he wrote: SING TO THE LORD, ALL THE EARTH; PROCLAIM HIS SALVATION DAY AFTER DAY. DECLARE HIS GLORY AMONG THE NATIONS, HIS MARVELOUS DEEDS AMONG ALL PEOPLES. FOR GREAT IS THE LORD AND MOST WORTHY OF PRAISE; HE IS TO BE FEARED [revered} ABOVE ALL gods.

Never lose hope when you pray.

ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU; SEEK, AND YOU WILL FIND; KNOCK, AND IT WILL BE OPENED TO YOU. LUKE 11:9-10LUKE 11:9-10
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. ¹⁰ For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

WP-Bible plugin *NKJV

Those are the words of our Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus also said, "IF YOU ABIDE IN ME, AND MY WORDS ABIDE IN YOU, YOU WILL ASK WHAT YOU DESIRE, AND IT SHALL BE DONE FOR YOU." JOHN 15:7JOHN 15:7
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Now these verses do not mean that everything we may ask for will be given to us, but do mean that if it is God's Will for us it will happen! After all we may ask for something that would hurt us in the end, for we have no way of knowing the future.

Therefore when you pray do not be afraid to ask God for something that you desire, knowing that He who knows all is looking out for you. For God has said: THEN YOU WILL CALL UPON ME AND COME AND PRAY TO ME, AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART. JEREMIAH 29:12-13JEREMIAH 29:12-13
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. ¹³ And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

WP-Bible plugin

Also do not think that God has abandoned you if a prayer isn't answered the way you want. After all, in time, you may look back on that prayer request and say "Thank God, He Didn't Answer That One!"

Therefore, never lose hope when you pray for it is written, THE EFFECTIVE, FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILS MUCH. ( JAMES 5:16JAMES 5:16
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

To WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES will have mercy.

HE WHO COVERS HIS SINS WILL NOT PROSPER, BUT WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM WILL HAVE MERCY." PROVERBS 28:13PROVERBS 28:13
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

WP-Bible plugin *NKJV

When we confess our sins and ask for God's forgiveness, they are cleaned from the Book Of Life by the Most Precious Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. It is then that those sins are not only forgiven, but they are also forgotten by our Heavenly Father as well. For it is written, "I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." HEBREWS 8:12HEBREWS 8:12
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

WP-Bible plugin

Now that doesn't mean that we may continue to do the same sin over and over, and still be forgiven each time we repent. After all the first verse does state "WHOEVER CONFESSES AND FORSAKES THEM" does it not?

Therefore when you pray remember the confession of your sins should be a daily routine, for to be of the flesh is to be of a sinful nature. However God realizes that, so never feel that because of your past sins God will never forgive you! After all you are His Child, and HE Loves You very much!

Enter the Sanctuary

Have you ever grumbled or complained about the apparent success of the ungodly? Have you felt jealous of the wealth, the power and the prestige they display? Have you wondered how it can be that some people have gained their wealth in a corrupt manner and selfishly hoard it while so many people are living in poverty and desperate need?

You are not the only one who has contemplated these questions. A man named Asaph pondered these matters in Psalm 73. "I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills... This is what the wicked are like - always carefree, they increase in wealth" (Ps. 73:3, 4-5, 12Ps. 73:3, 4-5, 12

But then, instead of wallowing and complaining, Asaph did the right thing! "I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny" (Ps. 73:17Ps. 73:17
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

It is only in the presence of God that we find peace of mind and gain divine understanding.

If you find yourself questioning things as Asaph did, it is probably a sign that you need to take more time out of your day to pray, meditate on God's Word and listen to His voice. Then you can rest assured that the prosperity of the wicked will come to an end and you will say unto the Lord as Asaph did, "Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds" (Ps. 73:23-28Ps. 73:23-28
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. ²⁴ Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. ²⁵ Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. ²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. strength: Heb. rock ²⁷ For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. ²⁸ But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

Pecans in the Cemetery

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree
just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a
bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began
dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for
me," said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the
fence.

Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he
passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He
slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you,
one for me. One for you, one for me." He just knew what it was,
so he jumped back on his bike and rode off.

Now just around the bend he met an old man with a cane,
hobbling along. "Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe
what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing
up the souls."

The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to
walk." When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to the
cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for
me. One for you, one for me..." The old man whispered, "Boy,
you've been tellin' the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord."
Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence yet were still
unable to see anything.

The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the
fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the
Lord.
At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's
go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done."

They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes
ahead of the boy on the bike!

Worry may actually shorten our life. DO NOT WORRY!

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF. EACH DAY HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN. MATTHEW 6:34MATTHEW 6:34
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

WP-Bible plugin *NIV

Now I ask you, WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE? MATTHEW 6:27MATTHEW 6:27
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

WP-Bible plugin In fact, some studies even show that worry may actually shorten our life!

Therefore instead of worrying CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. 1 PETER 5:71 PETER 5:7

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

After all what is worry anyway, but the opposite of faith! So, have faith and always turn your worries over to God! Then you will be able to say with confidence.....

"Why Worry About Tomorrow?"

Why worry about tomorrow
And the rising of the sun,
Of anguish over past mistakes
That cannot be undone?

Why waste life's precious moments
On things that bruise the heart
When today is ours to fashion
Into a work of art?

Today comes but once, my friend,
It never can return--
So use it wisely while you can,
There's a lesson you may learn.

Let history record the past
And tomorrow come what may.
Be content to do your best
With what you have today!

Blessed is he who trust in Him.

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD, AND WHOSE HOPE IS THE LORD. JEREMIAH 17:7JEREMIAH 17:7
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

WP-Bible plugin *NKJV

We all have hopes and dreams for our future, for life would be very difficult without them. However when we put our hope in the Lord, trusting that He will always help us, we are placing our hope in the correct place! For unlike putting our hope in other human beings who are likely to let us down, GOD never fails or reneges on His Promises.

After all it is written: THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS OUR HOPE. ( 1 TIMOTHY 1:11 TIMOTHY 1:1
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy ¹ ¹ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

WP-Bible plugin ) So, BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOUR HEART, ALL YOU WHO HOPE IN THE LORD. PSALM 31:24PSALM 31:24
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

In Closing, it is my prayer that THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE IN BELIEVING, THAT YOU MAY ABOUND IN HOPE BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, and that all of your hopes and dreams come true! Amen. ROMANS 15:13ROMANS 15:13
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
