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.

FEAR NOT, I will help you

AND THE LORD, HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES BEFORE YOU. HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU; DO NOT FEAR NOR BE DISMAYED. DEUTERONOMY 31:8 *NKJV
There are times when we are fearful of current events or even the future, for fear is a tool that satan uses to attack our faith in oumir Heavenly Father. After all fear causes worry, and what is worry and fear anyway, but the opposite of faith!
Now it is important for a Child of God to remember that GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND OF LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND. 2 TIMOTHY 1:7 And God has made us this promise, FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT HAND, SAYING TO YOU, “FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP YOU.” ISAIAH 41:13
So, the next time that fear strikes you remember to hold fast to your faith! After all you can always CAST ALL YOUR BURDEN ON THE LORD, AND HE SHALL SUSTAIN YOU; HE SHALL NEVER PERMIT THE RIGHTEOUS TO BE MOVED. PSALM 55:22
FINALLY, BRETHREN, FAREWELL. BECOME COMPLETE. BE OF GOOD COMFORT, BE OF ONE MIND, LIVE IN PEACE; AND THE GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU. 2 CORINTHIANS 13:11
Therefore, have a great day today filled with peace, and remember that “Worry is the darkroom in which negatives are developed.” Amen.
You can also read: Fear Not! THERE IS HOPE IN YOUR FUTURE.
He keeps us in all our ways.

THE STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD, AND HE DELIGHTS IN HIS WAY. THOUGH HE FALL, HE SHALL NOT BE UTTERLY CAST DOWN; FOR THE LORD UPHOLDS HIM WITH HIS HAND. PSALM 37:23-24 *NKJV
Now when we first learned to walk, we often fell down, but did we stay down? NO, we reached out to the extended hand of our mother or father, who helped us back on our feet. This happened often until we finally learned to walk on our own.
We can learn to walk with our Heavenly Father’s helping hand the very same way! For then when we fall, we can reach out to God through prayer, and accept His merciful helping hand as well! After all it is written; THE LORD LIFTS UP THE HUMBLE; HE CASTS THE WICKED DOWN TO THE GROUND. PSALM 147:6
Also written; HE SHALL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE OVER YOU, TO KEEP YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS. IN THEIR HANDS THEY SHALL BEAR YOU UP, LEST YOU DASH YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE. PSALM 91:11-12
So, walk with God everyday and you will find; THE LORD YOUR GOD IN YOUR MIDST, HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH GLADNESS, HE WILL QUIET YOU WITH HIS LOVE, HE WILL REJOICE OVER YOU WITH SINGING. ZEPHANIAH 3:17
Now my friend, have a great day knowing that the loving hand of God is always there ready to help you, no matter what you may face! Amen.
Cast your cares on the LORD

Jesus said; “COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND BURDENED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU AND LEARN FROM ME, FOR I AM GENTLE AND HUMBLE IN HEART, AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. FOR MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT.” MATTHEW 11:28-30 *NIV
As you may/already know, it is hard to find any rest with so many trials, tribulations, conflicts, and burdens in our lives today. However when we follow Jesus, He will provide us with rest and make our burdens lighter. For; THE LORD UPHOLDS ALL THOSE WHO FALL AND LIFTS UP ALL WHO ARE BOWED DOWN. PSALM 145:14
So when you feel stressed; CAST YOUR CARES ON THE LORD AND HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU; HE WILL NEVER LET THE RIGHTEOUS FALL. PSALM 55:22 . After all; GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, AN EVER-PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE. PSALM 46:1
Also remember that; BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO PERSEVERES UNDER TRIAL, BECAUSE WHEN HE HAS STOOD THE TEST, HE WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE THAT GOD HAS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. JAMES 1:12
Therefore; PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE FATHER OF COMPASSION AND THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT, WHO COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TROUBLES, SO THAT WE CAN COMFORT THOSE IN ANY TROUBLE WITH THE COMFORT WE OURSELVES HAVE RECEIVED FROM GOD. Amen. 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4
Now, have a wonderful day that is filled with “Peace,” and SMILE for after all God Loves You!
