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)
We as humans are gifted with the fact that we are so short sighted and are seldom not in awe when things happen to us that may be out of the ordinary routine, whether for good or bad. Blind sided though we are we also demonstrate remarkable resiliance. I am part of that resiliance and am here to help, through my writings and through discussions with the reader. So sit back, buckle your seat belts, and enjoy the ride.

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.
