There are no Jews, no Greeks, no Men or Women (people of the Church)

God is such a merciful God that He not only allows us entrance through Jesus into His throne room, but also multiplies the peace and love we experience the more we approach Him in that love. (Jude 2)

I am The Lord Your God

    He does not love us for our money or wisdom or beauty. He loves us for us. (Deuteronomy 7:7) What a shame we don't get it. What a shame we would rather perform for the King to earn our reward. But clearly our reward comes when we love Him and praise Him. (Psalm 91:14)

Who am I? (my relationship with God through prayer)

And God grants me the honor and privilege to be His child. (John 1:17) because when I in prayer and humility come before God and tell Him that absolutely, without question that Jesus is my Lord and savior, He promises His life is my life. (1 John 4:15). And with that love comes the privilege of going boldly before Him because the love He has for us is perfect. (1 John 4:17). That love casts out all fear, because in fear is torment, worry, short-sightness. (1 John 4:18) And love, the love of God, the love we have for God, means following after Him and His commandments. (2 John 6).

I HAVE A DREAM (blessed are the believers)

I love Paul and his writings to the Colossians and Thessalonians. He never failed to recognize their faith and that is such an exhortation to me to do the same to my brethren and to let them know what their faith has meant to me. In Colossians 1:4 Paul writes, “Since we've heard of your faith in Jesus Christ and of the love you have had toward the saints...” and in Colossians 1:8 he writes, “Who has declared unto us your love in the Spirit.” In 1Thessalonians 1:3, Paul writes, “Remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and patience and hope in the Saviour Jesus Christ in front of God our Father” and in 1Thessalonians 4:9, “But as touching brotherly love ye asked not that I write unto you for your yourselves are taught by God to love one another”. And Paul exhorts the Thessalonians in 1Thessalonians 5:8, “But let us, who are of the day, be sober,putting on the breast plate of faith, love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.” Everyone needs encouragement to stay strong. Such an outpouring and acknowledgement of love and gratitude because he knows that people have a choice to either grow in the gospel or to deny it. And we as well have that choice. And so many have chosen either side. I will gladly stand for and with those that have chosen Christ and will acknowledge their love for Him!

There are no Jews, no Greeks, etc... (people of God's family)

And of course we have been given opportunities in this life to walk according to God's word and plan especially with each other. Over and over we have been given chances to prove our love for one another, not because of anything we do, but because God loved us first enough to send His Son into the world that He die and rise again to lead us into salvation. (2 Corinthians 8:8, 2 Corinthians 8:11. It is not for us to judge which of us God loves more, those that make the rules or those that break the rules. It is for us to call each other to understand that He loves us beyond measure, whether this is through actions or through words.(Gal 5:6) We have been called to be His family. (Galatians 5:13) And God has told us how to walk in the community as well as the world, by employing the fruit of the Spirit which He has already provided us with. (Galatians 5:22). And God's news of love and peace and Hi heart full of grace travels fast when we walk in His light.
