Never Alone

 June 30, 2024

Verse of the day - Deuteronomy 4:31 (NRSV)

Because the LORD your God is a merciful God, he will neither abandon you nor destroy you; he will not forget the covenant with your ancestors that he swore to them.

In chapter 2 of my third book, Jesus assures us that He is always with us.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

I will never abandon My dear children.  In times of trouble and distress, that is when I am closest to you.  Come to Me for help.  I am a merciful God.  Allow Me to guide the way.  Through troubled waters, I will lead the way.  When you are distressed, know that I am with you.

In our time of need, God is always right here waiting for us to reach out to Him.  When we go through troubled waters in life, Jesus will always take us by the hand and lead us to safety.  We may feel as though we have been abandoned in life by everyone we know, but Jesus never will.  He will always be by our side reaching out to us in love.

Living A Virtuous Life

 June 29, 2024

Verse of the day -  Psalm 19:1 (NRSV)

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

In chapter 4 of my second book, Jesus speaks to us about leading a virtuous life.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

When you lead a virtuous life, you honor Me.  I came to serve man, and I call you to do the same.  Many times, My dear children do not know how to lead a virtuous life.  Anytime you help one another you are being virtuous.  I call My dear children to help one another.  There are many ways this can be done.  Anytime My dear children have an excessive amount of clothing that they no longer wear, it could be donated to help the less fortunate.  Donating food or helping serve meals is another way to be virtuous.  Sometimes My dear children need extra prayers.  Anytime you take time to pray for someone in need, they will be blessed without them even knowing it.  Be not afraid to be open to My call.

What exactly is virtue?  Virtue is when we give of ourselves to help another person.  There are many things we can do to help one another on life's journey.  It does not have to be anything big.  Even the small things we do for one another may have a bigger impact than we realize.  Sometimes we can help someone else just by listening to their needs.  Sometimes people just need someone to talk to.  When we take the time to listen to what the other person is saying it will often help them to feel better.  Another way to be virtuous is to help one another with chores or run errands for them.  Sometimes the elderly or home bound need items from the store.  This would also mean a great deal to them to have someone that will take the time to help them.  Praying for one another is also another way we can be virtuous.  Everyone always needs prayers of some sort.  When we take the time to pray for one another, many blessings are given to the person being prayed for.  These are only a few examples of how we can lead a virtuous life.

Have Faith In Jesus

 June 28, 2024

Verse of the day - James 2:24 (NRSV)

You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

In chapter 1 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about having faith.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

I desire My dear children to have great faith in Me.  I come to everyone who seeks Me.  Seek Me with all of your heart.  I love you and you are Mine.  By renewing your faith in Me, all things will be made new.  It is through faith that great things are accomplished.  Many times, My dear children are lacking in faith.  This hurts Me deeply.  Without faith all good works are dead.  Many times people perform good works but they lack faith.  Faith is believing in Me.  All things are possible to those who believe.  Faith helps you make through your most difficult times in life.  Come to Me and believe that I can help you.  Through your faith in Me, you will be able to find your way home to Me at the end of your earthly life.

Faith is the greatest gift we could ever receive.  It allows us to become one with God.  Without God, we would be nothing.  We are to share our faith with one another so that those who don't know Jesus will come to know Him through us.  We are God's people.  He is counting on us to help spread the news of His great love and mercy.  Faith is like the mustard seed that Jesus talked about.  Our faith may begin as being small, like the size of a mustard seed, but if it is watered, nurtured, and cared for, it will grow to do great things.  The more we practice our faith, the more it grows.  We should not be afraid to share our faith with others.  We are called to be disciples of Jesus and spread the Good News to everyone.

The Light Of The World

 June 27, 2024

Verse of the day - John 8:12 (NRSV)

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.'

In chapter 6 of my fourth book, Jesus invites us to journey with Him through life.

Excerpt from Called By God

I am indeed the Light of the World.  Allow My light to shine brightly upon you as you journey through life.  Allow Me to lead the way by the light of My love.

When we release everything over to God, life becomes much easier to handle.  We all have problems we face, but with Jesus by our side we should have nothing to fear.  He will light the way when there seems to be no way.  He will make our pathway bright.  He is the Light of the World.

New Life In The Heavenly Realms

 June 26, 2024

Verse of the day - John 5:25 (NRSV)

Very truly, I tell you, the hour is coming, and is here now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.

In chapter 4 of my third book, Jesus assures us that when a loved one who knows Him as their Lord and Savior passes away, they will join Him forever in the Heavenly Realms.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

Even though Lazarus had died and was in the tomb for four days, I raised him from the dead.  I could have healed him and prevented his death, but I chose not to.  Through his resurrection from the dead, many came to believe in Me.  Through death, I bring newness of life.  Anyone who believes in Me while they live on earth, will be brought to a new life with Me when they pass away.  It is My desire that My dear children would follow My Ways while on earth.  I desire that My dear children come to know Me as their Lord and Savior.  When a loved one who knows Me as their Lord and Savior passes away, they join Me forever in the Heavenly Realms.

Ask God For Guidance

 June 25, 2024

Verses of the day -  Proverbs 3:5-6 (NRSV)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

In chapter 7 of my second book, Jesus tells us that He will show us the correct path to take in life.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

I will indeed show you the correct path to take.  Many of My dear children forget to ask for My guidance in their daily life.  I desire to be involved in the lives of My beloved children.  Be not afraid to ask for help.  That is what I am here for.

As we live our everyday lives, we need to remember to ask God for guidance.  He is always there for us, to lead, guide, and direct our steps.  He desires us to come to Him with our needs.

Jesus Humbled Himself And Became Man

 June 24, 2024

Verse of the day - John 1:10 (NRSV)

He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him.

In Chapter 4 of my first book, Jesus tells us that He chose to come to earth.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

I came and humbled Myself before men.  I could have stayed in Heaven but chose not to.  I came to this earth so that I could do the will of My Father in Heaven.  My Father in Heaven chose Mary to be My earthly Mother.  Mary was the only woman worthy to be a vessel for Me to come to this earth.  She is the only person that has lived on earth aside from Me that is without sin.  This is the reason why My Father in Heaven chose Mary to be My Mother.  She is your Mother as well.  She and I watch over you.   No harm will come to anyone who believes.

A Change Of Heart

 June 23, 2024

Verse of the day - Matthew 5:46 (NRSV)

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?  Do not even the tax-collectors do the same?

In chapter 4 of my fourth book, Jesus speaks to us about loving everyone, even our enemies.

Excerpt from Called By God

I call My dear children to love everyone you meet.  It is easy to love those who love you, but I ask you to love even those who hurt you.  Many times, the people who hurt you have been hurt themselves.  They do not know what it feels like to be loved.  Reach out to them in love so that they too may feel My love through you.  Many times, if those who My dear children consider enemies receive love from someone, they will have their hearts opened.  If someone hurts you deeply, turn everything over to Me and pray for them.  Many times, through your prayers, they will have a change of heart.  They will become more open to receiving My love and you will gain a sense of peace.  I desire all My dear children to live in peace, even during hard times.  I will be with you always. Be not afraid to take My hand.  I will lead the way and show you how to love as I love.

It is hard to love those who hurt us, but this is what Jesus desires us to do.  If we love one another as Jesus loves us, hearts will be softened.  With love, anything is possible.  If we do not know how to love someone who has hurt us deeply, we can say a prayer and Jesus who hears our prayers, will help us.  He will lead us in the right direction so that we will know what He desires us to say or do.  Many times, the people who have hurt us deeply have been hurt by someone else.  They have not had anyone to love them.  If we reach out to them in love, many times their eyes will be opened to the love of Jesus.

Heart Prayers Are The Best Type

 June 22, 2024

Verse of the day - Luke 11:10 (NRSV)

For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

In Chapter 1 of my third book, Jesus tells us that heart prayers are the best type of prayers.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

While I was on earth, I was united to My Father in Heaven through prayer.  As My time on earth drew near, I went to Gethsemane to pray that the cup of death would pass from Me.  I told My Father in Heaven, not My Will but Your Will be done.  I was so deep in prayer about My upcoming death that I began to sweat drops of Blood.  I poured out My heart and soul.  Heart prayers are the best type of prayers.  They are the type of prayers that go deep into the heart of the matter.  No matter what the problem is, come to Me with it in prayer.

We should never be afraid to come before God in prayer.  He is always there for us.  He knows our needs before we ask.  It is very humbling to come before Jesus in prayer.  Jesus, the Creator of the Universe, desires us to pour our hearts out before Him in prayer.

Delay Helps Us To Grow In Our Faith

 June 21, 2024

Verse of the day - Joshua 1:9 (NRSV)

I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the LORD you God is with you wherever you go.

In chapter 6 of my second book, Jesus tells us that experiencing delays will help us grow in our faith.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

Remember, fear not for I am with you always.  There is nothing that will happen to you that we cannot handle together.  When things go wrong for you, cry out to Me.  I always hear the cry of My beloved children and will answer your needs according to My Holy Will.  Sometimes I answer right away.  Sometimes My answer is delayed.  If it is delayed, fear not.  There is always a lesson to be learned.  Delay helps you to grow in your faith-life.  Trust in Me.  I will give you the answers you need.

As humans, it is normal for us to have fears.  When that fear arises, we need to turn to Jesus for help.  He is always here for us in our time of need.  He will never leave us or forsake us.  Many times, the things we fear never come to pass.  We need to have faith over fear.  In my times of need, I cry out to God for help.  No matter what we are going through, Jesus always hears our cry for help.  Things may not always work out the way we intend for them to, but they always work out according to God's Will.  Jesus walks by our side every day.  He is there to lead and guide us every step of the way.

Using Our Faith

 June 20, 2024

Verse of the day - Mark 11:22 (NRSV)

Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God."

In chapter 7 of my first book, Jesus tells us to use our faith as a shield.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

Use your faith as a shield.  By doing this, you will be able to fight off the evil of this world.  Many times, your faith will be tested.  Be strong and do not give in.  The devil will throw all kinds of problems your way to try to get you to falter in your faith life.  By being strong in your faith, you will not falter.  There may be great temptations to not believe, but always look to Me and I will lead you on the right path.  Ask for My guidance daily.  I walk with you everywhere you go.  If you find yourself beginning to doubt just call upon Me.  I will rescue you in your time of need.  Come and trust in Me, your Lord and Savior.

When we hold faith as a shield, we acknowledge our trust in God.  Many times in our lives, our faith will be tested.  Sometimes people will try to make us feel like we are nothing.  This is the work of the evil one.  Without God, we will come to believe what people tell us.  When this happens, we need to pray to God and allow His love to heal us.  In order to resist the flaming darts that are thrown at us by the devil, we need to put our faith in God.  Another way our faith may be tested is through illness.  When a loved one or ourselves are sick, we need to have faith that everything will work out the way God intends it to.

Become Bold In Proclaiming God's Word

 June 19, 2024

Verse of the day - John 15:18 (NRSV)

If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.

In chapter 4 of my fourth book, Jesus tells us that His disciples will be persecuted.

Excerpt from Called By God.

My beloved children, while I was on earth walking among other people, many did not believe in Me.  They persecuted Me and scoffed at Me.  I chose My original twelve disciples to help spread My Words among My dear children.  After I was sent to the cross and died for the sins of the world, My disciples became bold in proclaiming My Words.  They went among great crowds proclaiming The Gospel of Faith.  They were persecuted as well; however, this did not stop them.  I desire My dear children today to be bold as well.  Declare My Words among your brothers and sisters, that is, everyone you meet.  My dear children, even if you are not related by blood, you are all under the Mighty Hand of God.  Everyone is united under My Holy Name.  Come and become one with Me.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd who leads all who call upon Him to paths of righteousness.  When we walk in His Ways, we will be made whole in body, mind, and spirit.  Jesus leads the way in which He desires us to walk.  Once we come to know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He desires us to become bold and proclaim the Good News of Salvation.  Only through the Blood of Jesus, and our faith in Him, will we be saved.

Reunited In Heaven

 June 18, 2024

Verse of the day - Daniel 12:2 (NRSV)

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame an everlasting contempt.

In chapter 4 of my third book, Jesus tells us that when we pass away from this life, we will be reunited in Heaven.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

I desire eternal life to all My dear children.  I love everyone equally.  I desire each of My beloved children to come to the cross.  Repent of any wrong you may have done.  Become one with Me.  Blessed are those who believe in Me.  I live among you each day of your life.  After you pass away from this life, you will live in the dust of the earth for a short time before becoming reunited in Heaven.  Your soul will be in Heaven if you followed Me while one earth.  At the end of time, your body and soul will be reunited in Heaven, and you will be made whole once again.  I desire everyone to become whole in body and soul.

It should be everyone's desired to be made whole in body and soul at the end of time.  If we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, when we pass away from this life, our soul leaves our body to be united with Jesus in Heaven.  He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.  To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.  What a glorious day that will be!

Asking God For What We Need

 June 17, 2024

Verse of the day - Matthew 7:7 (NRSV)

Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

In Chapter 1 of my second book, Jesus tells us that we should not be afraid to ask Him for anything.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me.

Come before Me just as you are.  I love you with an everlasting love.  There is nothing that you could do that would tear Me away from you.  Be not afraid to ask anything from Me.  Many times, My dear children do not receive because they do not ask.  Ask for whatever you will, and it will be provided for you, provided it is part of My Will.  I gave My life's blood so that all may live.  My prayer for My dear children is that all may come back to Me.

When we have needs in our daily lives, we need to bow before the Lord and ask for help.  Just as Jesus said, "We receive not because we ask not."  Jesus knows our heart's desire, needs, and wants much better than anyone else.  When we come before the throne of grace and ask for help, Jesus will hear and answer our prayers.  Sometimes it is not the way we had hoped our prayers would get answered, but it is always answered according to God's Will.  Sometimes we get an answer right away to our questions.  Jesus has three answers for us; yes, no, and wait.  Many times, when the answer is wait, we begin to grow impatient.  We want things done in our time instead of God's time.  We need to learn how to wait patiently for the answers we so desperately want.  If we wait patiently for God's answer, we will never be lead wrong.  Jesus knows our situation better than anyone else and He will never guide us in the wrong direction.  We need to trust in His answers.

The One From Heaven

 June 11, 2024

Verse of the day - Acts 4:12 (NRSV)

There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.

In chapter 2 of my first book, Jesus tells us that He is the One from Heaven.

Excerpt from Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

I am the one from Heaven.  I came down from Heaven and took the form of man so that I could save all people from their sins.  I long for everyone to come to Me.  When you are weak and weary from worry, turn everything over to Me.  I will release you from all of your fears.

No matter what may happen on earth, if we believe in Jesus, our place in Heaven is assured.  During life's storms when everything seems to be going wrong, that is when God is closest to us.  Even though we may not see it, that is when God is carrying our cross for us.  How else would we make it through our most difficult times?  Our difficult times are when we we need to reach out to God the most.  He will help us through.  God is always with us.  He knows and sees everything that happens to us.  We need to depend on God for everything.

Facing Life's Storms

 June 10, 2024

Verse of the day - Psalm 23:4 (NRSV)

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff - they comfort me.

In chapter 6 of my fourth book, Jesus assures us that we never walk alone during the storms of our life.

Excerpt from Called By God

Throughout your life, My dear children, you will face many storms.  Rest assured; you do not face these moments alone.  I walk beside you every day of your life.  With My help, you will experience peace and joy despite the trials which may be going on around you.  Relax in My Presence.

Many times, when My dear children experience darkness during the most difficult times during their lives they feel as though they are alone.  I assure you, My dear children, I will never leave you or forsake you.  Even though you feel as though you are alone and carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, I am right there beside you every step of the way.  I will always be a Shepherd to My people.  I never leave anyone alone, especially in the darkest hours.  Cling to Me, your Divine Shepherd, and I will help you.  Receive My grace during the dark hours of your life.

We are so blessed to have Jesus as our Divine Shepherd.  He will never leave us or forsake us.  He will be with us every day of our life to lead and guide the way.  Sometimes during life, we will encounter seasons of darkness where everything seems to be going wrong.  During the storms of life, this is when we need to cling to Jesus.  He will always help us through our difficult times.  During my life, I can look back and honestly say, I would not have been able to make it through the most difficult times of my life without the help of God.

God Will Supply For Our Needs

 June 9, 2024

Verse of the day - Luke 10:27 (NRSV)

He answered, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.'

In chapter 10 of my third book, Jesus tells us that He will supply for our needs.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

Be a loving servant to everyone you meet.  Everyone has needs in their life.  When My dear children are in need, I always supply for them.  Many times, I supply someone to go to them to help with whatever their need is.  Just as the Samaritan showed mercy to his fellow brother in Christ, I ask you to do the same.  I showed mercy to My disciples when I washed their feet.  I did not have to do this, but I did.  I am a merciful God.

 When we love our neighbor as ourselves, we help them in their time of need.  Our neighbor is everyone we meet.  Just as Jesus supplies for our needs, He desires us to help one another also.  As we journey through life, God places new people in our life as we need them.  Everyone has a mission in life.  When we meet someone that has a need, Jesus desires us to help them.

Have No Fear

 June 8, 2024

Verse of the day - Joshua 1:9 (NRSV)

I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

In chapter 6 of my second book Jesus tells us we should have nothing to fear.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

Fear not My dear little ones.  You are beloved in My sight.  I am here to protect you from all evil.  Many of My dear children are living in fear of the future.  You have nothing to fear if you know Me as your Lord and Savior.  Live one day at a time.  If you look to the future and try to figure things out, it is scary.  I am with you in the present day.  When you live in the present day only, you have nothing to fear.  I am always walking beside you every day of your life.  Leave the past behind.  Do not try to figure out what lies ahead.  This is for Me alone to know.  I have your entire life planned for you.  I know everything that is going to happen to you before it does.

As humans, it is normal for us to have fears.  When that fear arises, we need to turn to Jesus for help.  He is always here for us in our time of need.  He will never leave us or forsake us.  Many times, the things we fear never come to pass.  We need to have faith over fear.  In my times of need, I cry out to God for help.  No matter what we are going through, Jesus always hears our cry for help.  Things may not always work out the way we intend for them to, but they always work out according to God's Will.  Jesus walks by our side every day.  He is there to lead and guide us every step of the way.

Pray For Redemption Of Souls

 June 7, 2024

Verse of the day - 1 John 5:17 (NRSV)

All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that is not mortal.

In chapter 5 of my first book, Jesus tells us that we need to pray for redemption of souls.

Excerpt from Spirituality A Journey For My Soul.

My dear children, there is great sin in the world.  This is the reason I died on the cross.  Without My dying on the cross there is no redemption.  I desire all people to come to the foot of the cross and believe.  There is a great need for repentance of sins.  Without repentance there is no salvation.  When a person truly repents of their sins, they receive forgiveness from Me.  All people need to return to church to be with Me.  The world is beginning to spin out of control as it did in the time of Noah.  Everyone needs to pray for the redemption of souls.

Jesus gave us the Ten Commandments to follow.  If we follow His Commandments, we remain in His Love.  That does not mean that God will quit loving us or disown us if we break one of His Commandments.  His love is everlasting, and He knows that we sin.  What it does mean is that when we sin, we draw ourselves away from God's love.  Jesus never leaves us, nor will He forsake us.  We are the ones that leave God.  By our sins, we distance ourselves from Him.  God is love.  This is why we say that if we keep the Ten Commandments, we remain in His love.  When we confess our sins, we come back to the light of Christ.  When we come back to the light of Christ, that is when we feel His love again.

A Special Calling

 June 6, 2024

Verse of the day - John 15:27 (NRSV)

You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.

In Chapter 4 of my fourth book, Jesus tells us that everyone has a special calling in life.

Excerpt from Called By God

I call you to be holy and lead other people back to Me.  I have a special calling for everyone in their life.  I called Ananias to lay hands on Saul so that he would regain his sight.  Because of the things that Saul had done in the past, Ananias did not want to do this.  I told Ananias that I had special plans for Saul.  As a result, Ananias listened to Me and laid hands-on Saul.  Saul was so deeply touched by what happened to him that he was converted.  Instead of persecuting Me, he began to preach My words ands lead others back to Me.  Saul became the great Apostle Paul.  Do not be afraid of My calling.

Paul, the Apostle, drew many people to Christ as he did his work.  Just as Saul was open to God's calling in his life, we should be also.  We never know the type of work that God has in store for us.  Sometimes it may be scary for us to do the work that we are being called to do.  Jesus will be with us every step of the way leading and guiding us.  With Jesus as our guide, we should have nothing to fear.  When we feel weak, He will make us strong.

Give God Praise And Thanksgiving

 June 5, 2024

Verse of the day - Psalm 95:2 (NRSV)

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving: let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

In chapter 9 of my third book, Jesus tells us that we should share our experiences with others.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

When I heal you of your illnesses, I desire greatly to be praised.  Come to Me and give Me praise and thanksgiving for all I have given you.  Share your experiences with others so that they may grow in faith and love for Me.  I am worthy to be praised.  I desire that from all My dear children.  In both sickness and in health, there is always something to be thankful for.  It gives Me great honor when My dear children have a thankful and grateful heart.

Jesus gives us so much to be thankful for.  He loves us so much that He gave up His life for us.  By dying on the cross, He sacrificed His life for the sins of the world so that we may come to Him and be saved from final condemnation.

Anytime we come to Jesus in prayer, it pleases Him much.  He desires us to give Him much praise and worship.  When we experience any type of healing provided to us through God, Jesus desires us to share our experience with others so that they may grow in faith and love for Him.  Many times, if we share our experiences with others, they will have an eye-opening experience.  They will be able to see the great love of God through us.

All Things Are Possible

 June 4, 2024

Verses of the day - Proverbs 3:5-6 (NRSV)

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

In chapter 7 of my second book, Jesus speaks to us about trusting Him for everything.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

By having trust in Me, everything is possible.  Give your life over to Me.  When you do as I ask, many great things will be accomplished.  Come and become one with Me.  Allow Me to lead and guide your life.

When we follow Jesus and allow Him to guide us every step of the way, our lives will become one of worship and praise.  We need to trust in His Ways because His Ways are higher than our ways.  Through Him, all things are possible.

Build One Another Up

 June 3, 2024

Verse of the day - Romans 8:5 (NRSV)

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

In chapter 8 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about looking for the good in other people.

Excerpt from Spirituality A Journey For My Soul

Do not speak poorly of one another.  If someone has hurt you deeply, talk to Me about it.  By speaking poorly about another person, it brings harm to them.  Once a person's reputation is ruined, it is hard to regain a good standing with people in society.  Always look for the good in people.  This is also part of experiencing new life in Me.  If someone is being spoken of poorly, try to come to that person's defense by telling something good about them.

Many times, we as humans talk bad about other people.  It may not be our intention, but sometimes it happens.  Jesus wants us to help build one another up by the words we use when we speak to one another, instead of tearing each other down.

When we speak poorly of one another, their reputation is ruined.  People will begin to only see the faults in one another instead of the good.  Everyone has good and bad inside of them.  We are called to point out the positive points in one another.  When we do this, we will build one another up instead of tearing each other down.

God's Love Is Never Ending

 June 2, 2024

Verses of the day - Matthew 5:43-45

You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy." But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.

In Chapter 4 of my fourth book, Jesus speaks to us about His never ending love.  

Excerpt from Called By God

I desire My dear children to love one another as I love you.  My love is never ending.  When you reach out to one another in love, hearts will be opened.  When someone has hurt you deeply, be kind to them.  Reach out to them in love.  No one knows what another person is experiencing.  Only I know what is happening in another person's life.  Pray for those who hurt you.  Through prayer, miracles can happen.

It is hard to love those who have hurt us, but this is what Jesus desires us to do.  If we love one another  as Jesus loves us, hearts will be softened.  With love, anything is possible.  If we do not know how to love someone who has hurt us deeply, we can say a prayer and Jesus who hears our prayers, will help us.  He will lead us in the right direction so that we will know what He desires us to say or do.  Many times, the people who have hurt us deeply have been hurt by someone else.  They have not had anyone to love them.  If we reach out to them in love, many times their eyes will be opened to the love of Jesus.

Rely On God's Spoken Words

 June 1, 2024

Verse of the day - Psalm 119 vs 105 (NRSV)

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

In chapter 6 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about relying on His spoken words which are in the Bible.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

Rely on My Spoken Words in the Bible.  By reading the Bible My dear children, many great things will be taught.  Learn what the Bible has to say about day to day living.  If My dear children live according to My Words in the Bible, they will be able to better defend their faith in trying times.  How I desire more of My dear children to be defenders of their faith.  Stand up for what you believe in.  Do not let anyone lead you astray.  There will always be wolves and lions in your life.  These are the people who try to lead you astray from Me.  All of My dear children go astray from Me sometime during their life.  I will always send someone to you to help lead you back to Me.

We, like sheep, have all gone astray from Jesus sometime during our life.  Just like sheep, we need a shepherd to lead the way.  Our shepherd is Jesus.  He is always here to lead and guide us in the right direction.  When we lose our way, Jesus will send someone to us to help us turn our life around.
