31 Days - Day 19

What's Love Got to do With It?



God so LOVED the world - such a familiar passage of scripture. But what does it really mean? In the Amplified Bible John 3:16 reads, "For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He even gave up His only unique Son... God loved me so much that He allowed His Son - who He greatly loved - to hang naked on a cross and die a death like no other. The One who knew no sin, die for me; He took my place so that I might live and have eternal life in Heaven.

God loved me so much, He says in His Word, He will never leave me or forsake me. (Deuteronomy 31:8) Friends and family may leave or forget but God never will. I am reminded of God's love for me during a time in my life when my heart was functioning at less than 30%. He was right there, He never left me. always reminding - "I will never leave you - Trust Me." It was a long road to full recovery but He walked beside me the whole way, leading me to the right doctors and specialists, the right treatments and medications. Today my heart function is normal and healthy - Praise God!

God's plans for those who love Him are far beyond anything we can ever imagine. We love because God first loved us.

God is there for you and me, He is always there - He never leaves us. Open up your heart and let Him in, all the way - don't hold back. God's love never fails - never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end. 1 Cor 13:8 (Amp) His love for us will never be shaken.

Good Friday

  Happy Good Friday   This is the day that we remember what Jesus did for us --- enduring beating, mocking, and being crucified.   I imagine his disciples did not consider it to be a “good” Friday at the time. But what makes it GOOD is what happened on Sunday --- when Jesus did the impossible and rose from the dead.    Knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.  ~ 1 Peter 1:18-19 ESV   One of the best ways of celebrating Jesus and His Resurrection…is through family traditions.    Family traditions can be as simple as attending  ️  church and having lunch or brunch together.    Jesus was a story-teller. I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to teach.  Do you have a favorite Bible Story or family tradition? A G

Why God Wants to Bless You!

  Why God Wants to Bless You!   “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away” (Matthew 25:29, ESV). Do you know that God wants to bless you? He wants you to have abundance, lacking no good thing. But He doesn’t want that for you and me so we can merely enjoy our lives. He wants us to steward our resources so we can be better able to reach out to others and bless them in His name. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16 (ESV),   “…let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”   The goal is fruitfulness. The goal is God’s Kingdom. The goal is for God’s blessing to flow through us so we might be a blessing to others, to the glory of His name!
