t God tells us from the get-go to love
each other. Have love in our hearts and bear no grudges toward one
another. In that way we will be keeping His commandments. He wants us
to be in obedience to the extent that not even food or clothing
should be com-mingled with food or clothing that God doesn't want us
to use. And He tells us to be hospitable to people not in our general
community. Why? Because He loves and wants all people to come to Him,
and food and clothing are not given the same consideration as other
people, at least by God. He loves living beings. He uses inanimate
objects. That's the difference. (Leviticus 19:18,19,34)
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.

Who am I? My relationship with God through prayer
God considers me among His highest and most
valuable possessions. Not only that but He considers me as useful to
Him and helpful. (Song of Solomon 1:9). He considers me beautiful.
(Song of Solomon 1:15) And He considers me gentle and harmless and
loving in nature and He wants me with Him. (Song of Solomon 2:2-14)
And He excites me to love Him.
(Song is Solomon 5:2) In fact, I want to spend every waking moment
with Him, even though I am told to not disturb Him (Song of Solomon
3:5, 8:4). But I am mindful of Jesus telling His apostles not to
prohibit the children from coming to sit by Him. And He loves me to
come by Him and to sit with Him. (Song of Solomon 4:1,7; 6:4)

There is Jews, Greeks, etc. (part 3)
We are His and
because we are His we are interconnected to one another. Sometimes we
don't realize that and we dispute with each other over trivial
matters to the point of breaking up the church. But if we learn that
while we are all His we are also independent thinkers and all have
our own decisions, choices, experiences and wisdom we will be able
to love one another as God does us, because we are like parts of the
body. This is why Paul stressed this to the churches, so that they
would learn this and live in peace with one another. (1 Thessalonians
5:13)

There are no Jew, no Greeks, (part 2)
God chose us, to be His church, to be His
children, to live with Him forever. But what we often forget is that
He chose us, and He gives us every opportunity to choose Him and His
lifestyle and walk as He walked. (Ephesians1:4) The only way to do
this is to become deeply rooted in Him. (Ephesians 3:17)
