1 John‬ ‭4:7-8‬

“Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I believe love is one of the most misunderstood words in the English language!!! Love is known by your actions, by your demeanor, by how people view you. God is love and love for a Christian has to be the same love that Jesus showed to Everyone!!!! Not who you choose. Today’s prayer is that we would love all!!! Yes all whether or not they have wronged you or righted you Love is God…….Be Blessed

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17

TRUST GOD with every fiber of your being! – PSALM 40 : 4, PSALM 56 : 3 – 4, PSALM 62 : 8, ISAIAH 26 : 3 – 4

https://youtu.be/rjgMW_S55Ig

“TRUST GOD with every fiber of your being! What GOD can accomplish in and through you is proportional to how much you depend on HIM. One aspect of this is the degree to which you trust The LORD in a crisis or major decision. Some people fail miserably here, while others are at their best in tough times. Another aspect is even more telling: the constancy of your trust in GOD. People who rely on GOD in the midst of adversity may forget about The LORD when life is flowing smoothly. Difficult times can jolt you into awareness of your need for GOD, whereas smooth sailing can lull you into the stupor of self-sufficiency. The LORD cares as much about your tiny trust-steps through daily life as about your dramatic leaps of faith. You may think that no one notices, but the One who is always beside you sees everything—and rejoices. Consistently trusting in The LORD is vital to flourishing in GOD’S Presence.”

Scripture

Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. PSALM 40 : 4

When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? PSALM 56 : 3 – 4

Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. PSALM 62 : 8

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. ISAIAH 26 : 3 – 4

Prayer

Prayer: God help me to trust You with every fiber of my being. In the big decisions and small. When I do, you promise to keep me in perfect peace despite any circumstance. Thank you for being my constant companion and guide. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

GOD IS YOUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, an ever-present Help in trouble. – PSALM 46 : 1 – 3, PSALM 89 : 15

https://youtu.be/fborpNSsvBc

“GOD IS YOUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, an ever-present Help in trouble. Therefore, you don’t need to be afraid of anything—not even cataclysmic circumstances. The media are increasingly devoted to fear-inducing subject matter: terrorism, serial killers, environmental catastrophes. If you focus on such dangers and forget that GOD is your Refuge in all circumstances, you will become increasingly fearful. Every day GOD manifests HIS grace in countless places and situations, but the media take no notice. The LORD showers not only blessings but also outright miracles on your planet. As you grow closer to GOD, The LORD opens your eyes to see more and more of HIS Presence all around you. Things that most people hardly notice, like shifting shades of sunlight, fill you with heart-bursting Joy. You have eyes that see and ears that hear, so proclaim GOD’S abiding Presence in the world.”

Scripture

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. PSALM 46 : 1 – 3

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, O LORD. PSALM 89 : 15

Prayer

Prayer: Lord thank you for the blessings and miracles you do everyday. Help me to have eyes to see and ears to hear you all around me. And may it fill me with heart-bursting joy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Joel‬ ‭2:21

“Don’t be afraid, O land. Be glad now and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things.” ‭‭Joel‬ ‭2:21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The condition of the world makes us think there is no hope! But in reality there is nothing but hope, God has done a great work in the land and in us. Today’s prayer is that no matter how bad it looks, remember God has blessed us with all that we need and our great hope is in Jesus…….Be Blessed

GOD IS PREPARING YOU for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend. – ISAIAH 64 : 4, JOHN 15 : 5, PSALM 36 : 9

https://youtu.be/zgiFU5lrt2M

“GOD IS PREPARING YOU for what is on the road ahead, just around the bend. Take time to be still in GOD’S Presence so that HE can strengthen you. The busier you become, the more you need this time apart with The LORD. So many people think that time spent with GOD is a luxury they cannot afford. As a result, they live and work in their own strength—until that becomes depleted. Then they either cry out to The LORD for help or turn away in bitterness. How much better it is to walk close to GOD, depending on HIS strength and trusting HIM in every situation. If you live in this way, you will do less but accomplish far more. Your unhurried pace of living will stand out in this rush-crazed age. Some people may deem you lazy, but many more will be blessed by your peacefulness. Walk in the Light with GOD, and you will reflect GOD to the watching world.”

Scripture

Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him. ISAIAH 64 : 4

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” JOHN 15 : 5

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. PSALM 36 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord help me to make time to be still in your presence so that you can strengthen me. Help me to walk slow enough to experience You fully and reflect Jesus to a watching world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:11

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭NASB‬‬

Not one of us is different when it comes to the opportunity of receiving salvation. The difference begins when we choose to reject what Christ did on the Cross. Jesus died that day so that all of us could be set free from the of bondage and sin that we were born into, the sad truth is that many will reject the opportunity. Today’s prayer is that we would be a living testimony to what our salvation has done and is doing in our lives every single day……Be Blessed

GOD IS THE GIFT that continuously gives—bounteously, with no strings attached. – 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18, DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27, PSALM 13 : 5

https://youtu.be/5VRn4Q2fLSA

“GOD IS THE GIFT that continuously gives—bounteously, with no strings attached. Unconditional Love is such a radical concept that even GOD’S most devoted followers fail to grasp it fully. Absolutely nothing in heaven or on earth can cause GOD to stop loving you. You may feel more loved when you are performing according to your expectations. But GOD’S Love for you is perfect; therefore it is not subject to variation. What does vary is your awareness of The LORD’S loving Presence. When you are dissatisfied with your behavior, you tend to feel unworthy of GOD’S Love. You may unconsciously punish yourself by withdrawing from The LORD and attributing the distance between us to HIS displeasure. Instead of returning to The LORD and receiving HIS Love, you attempt to earn GOD’S approval by trying harder. All the while, GOD is aching to hold you in HIS everlasting arms, to enfold you in HIS Love. When you are feeling unworthy or unloved, come to GOD. Then ask for receptivity to The LORD’S unfailing Love.”

Scripture

If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 JOHN 4 : 15 – 18

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” DEUTERONOMY 33 : 27

But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. PSALM 13 : 5

Prayer

Prayer: God I trust you. You know the number of hairs on my head. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, regardless. Teach me to love like you love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

AS YOU WAIT attentively in The LORD’S Presence, the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines upon you. – 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6, PHILIPPIANS 2 : 6 – 7, LUKE 2 : 13 – 14, 2 CORINTHIANS 8 : 9

https://youtu.be/arzBjQtcYWI

“AS YOU WAIT attentively in The LORD’S Presence, the Light of the knowledge of GOD’S Glory shines upon you. This radiant knowledge transcends all understanding. It transforms every fiber of your being: renewing your mind, cleansing your heart, invigorating your body. Open yourself fully to GOD’S Presence; be awed by HIS glorious Being. Try to imagine what JESUS CHRIST gave up when The LORD came to earth as a baby. The LORD set aside HIS Glory, so that HE could identify with mankind. JESUS CHRIST, The LORD accepted the limitations of infancy under the most appalling conditions—a filthy stable. Angels lit up the sky proclaiming “Glory!” to awe-struck shepherds. As you identify with The LORD, heaven’s vistas open up before you—granting you glimpses of GOD’S Glory. JESUS CHRIST became poor so that you might become rich. Sing hallelujahs to GOD’S holy Name!”

Scripture

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 6

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. PHILIPPIANS 2 : 6 – 7

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.” LUKE 2 : 13 – 14

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. 2 CORINTHIANS 8 : 9

Prayer

Prayer: Lord, provide healing, peace, and joy in knowing you are the reason for celebrating today. And oh what a great reason it is indeed. Thank you Jesus for your incredible sacrifice to leave Heaven, coming to earth to live a sinless life and be the perfect sacrifice to provide the way back to God for eternity. Amen.
