God Will Refuse No One

 December 29, 2024

Verse of the day - Jonah 3:10 (NRSV)

When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it.

In chapter 2 of my fifth book, Jesus speaks to us about changing our hearts.

Excerpt from Pathway To Christ

I desire My dear children to repent of their sins, just as they did in Nineveh.  I desire no harm to come upon anyone.  I love you so much!  Change your hearts dear children, before it is too late!  Open your heart wide and receive Me into your life.  I am always waiting for My dear children with open arms.  I will refuse no one!  Come, follow Me, not the ways of the world.  I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life.  The only way to Heaven is through Me.  Walk on the narrow path that leads to eternal life with Me.  I desire no one to be left behind when this world ends.  Come with repentant hearts.  When someone repents, their lives are changed forever.  Be not afraid to stand out from the crowd.  Many of My dear children are afraid to follow Me due to a fear of what other people may think or say.  Please be bold in your faith and do as I ask.

Jonah was called by God to go to the city of Nineveh.  He was to warn the people that God was going to destroy their city due to their evil ways.  The people who lived in Nineveh believed God and repented.  They proclaimed a fast and everyone put on sackcloth.  Sackcloth was worn to express repentance for sins. When God saw that they were repentant, He changed His mind and did not destroy the city.  Just as the people of Nineveh repented of their ways, God desires us to do the same. 

Called To Be God's Own

 December 28, 2024

Verses of the day -  John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.  Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

In chapter 7 of my fourth book, Jesus calls us to be His Own.

Excerpt from Called By God

I call you to be My Own.  Allow Me to direct the steps of your life.  Help lead others back to Me.  When you know Me as your Lord and Savior, I will show you how to help My dear children of the world.  Many are lost and lonely.  Show kindness to one another and allow others to feel My love.  Love one another as I love you.

Jesus calls us to follow in His Ways.  If we allow Him to direct our steps we will be able to help lead others back to Him.  He loves us with an everlasting love.  No matter what we do in life, God will never leave us.  If we stray away from our faith, He will be waiting for us to return to Him with open arms.  God's love never fails.  Through bad experiences, many people do not know what it is like to be loved.  If we step out in faith and help one another, those who once felt unlovable will feel God's love through us.  When we share God's love with one another, many times the person we share God's love with will share it with someone else.  

Stepping Out In Faith

 December 27, 2024

Verses of the day - Romans 5:1-2 (NRSV)

Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

In chapter 1 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about stepping out in faith.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

I am always here waiting for you to return to Me.  Come and join Me at the cross so that we may become united.  I am waiting patiently for My dear children to take the first step.  Stepping out in faith may be scary, but in time it will become easier.  Allow Me to guide your steps.  I am with you always.  Lay all your cares and concerns before Me.  I will help you through.

Jesus desires us to step out in faith and join Him at the cross.  At the cross we will become united with Him.  He will help us through the hard times we face in life.  Jesus is always waiting patiently for us to come to Him for help. 

God Knows What Is Best For Us

 December 26, 2024

Verse of the day - Matthew 7:11 (NRSV)

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

In chapter 1 of my second book, Jesus tells us that He knows what is best.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

I will never lead or guide My dear children in the wrong direction.  Trust Me and have faith.  I know what is best for My dear little ones.  When I say no, many times My dear children become very angry and upset with Me because they do not understand.  I plead with you to please listen to My answers.  I will never lead you wrong.  In time, when someone hears the word no, it means that I have something much better in store for that person.  Until the blinders are removed from My dear children's eyes, they will continue to be bitter and upset.  Come back to Me with your whole heart.  Listen to My Words and be set free.  I know what lies ahead in your future.  In time, when looking back at certain situations, it will become clear why the answer was no.  It is then that many of My dear children will stop and give Me thanks.  Always remember to stop and give Me praise and thanksgiving for everything in your life.  Everything happens for a reason.

Sometimes during life, when we call out to God in prayer, the answer He gives us is "No".  At the time, we may not understand why the answer was "No" and sometimes we will become angry or upset.  There have been times in my life when I said a prayer and God's answer is "No".  At the time, I did not understand why but later on it was shown to me that His answer was for the best.  Like a loving Father, Jesus will only do what is best for us.  Only God knows what is best for us, and He desires no harm to come to us.  

Merry Christmas

 December 25, 2024

Verses of the day - Luke 2:8-11 (NRSV)

In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.  Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for see - I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah, the Lord.

On this Christmas Day, let us rejoice in God our Savior.  The creator of the world was born in Bethlehem and lived among us.  Through the darkness, His bright light shined down upon us.  Jesus is the true reason for the season.  May everyone have a very Blessed and Merry Christmas! God Bless!!

Who Is My Neighbor

 December 24, 2024

Verses of the day - Sirach 29:1-2 (NRSV)

The merciful lend to their neighbours; by holding out a helping hand they keep the commandments.  Lend to your neighbour in his time of need; repay your neighbour when a loan falls due.

In chapter 10 of my first book, Jesus asks us a question. "Who is your neighbor?"

Excerpt from  Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

Who is your neighbor?  Your neighbor is everyone that you meet.  Many times My dear children believe their neighbor is only the person who lives next door.  Anytime you lie about what a certain person has done, your are bearing false witness against your neighbor.

Love your neighbor as yourself.  Always be kind to one another whenever possible.  By lending a helping hand you will spread My love.  Do not wish for what your neighbor has.  I provide for all your needs.

Jesus has told us to love our neighbor as ourselves.  Sometimes we may wonder who exactly our neighbor is.  Jesus has made it clear to us through this reading that our neighbor is everyone we meet.  If we meet someone who is in need, and we stop to help them, that is when we are helping our neighbor.    

Allow God To Help

 December 22, 2024

Verse of the day - Psalm 91:3 (NRSV)

For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

In chapter 8 of my fifth book, Jesus asks us to allow Him to help us.

Excerpt from Pathway To Christ

Allow Me to help you through the difficulties of life.  My dear children were not made to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.  Turn to Me and allow Me to help with the burdens of life.  When you come before Me and lay your burdens down, you will be given a great sense of peace.  Allow My Peace to flow gently over you.

Throughout life we will face many challenges. Though we many times carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, this is not what God intended for us to do.  By turning to Him in our time of need, He will help us carry our cross.  We should not be afraid to ask for help.  When Jesus was on earth, He too needed help to carry His cross.  When Jesus was being led away to be crucified, there was a man by the name of Simon of Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry His cross.  Jesus knows what it is like to need help.  He is ready and waiting for us to reach out to Him in our time of need.  Through His help we will receive peace.

Jesus Is Our True Cornerstone

 December 20, 2024

Verse of the day - Acts 4:11 (NRSV)

This Jesus is "the stone that was rejected by you, the builders; it has become the cornerstone."

In chapter 2 of my fourth book, Jesus speaks of Himself as the True Cornerstone.

I am the true cornerstone.  Build your faith and trust in Me alone.  When you build your faith and trust in Me, you will be able to face anything that comes your way.  Through My Grace, you will survive and come out victorious.  When I am your cornerstone, nothing can shake your faith in Me.  Though the world may seem to be crumbling around you, you will remain strong.  Be not afraid of anything that comes your way.  Cling to Me.  I am your Rock.  A rock is solid and cannot be broken.  So too shall you be when you cling to Me.

A cornerstone is the pillar of the foundation.  It is upon this rock that the rest of the building is formed.  Jesus is the cornerstone upon which we should build our faith.  There is no one else on earth who can save us from our sins.  When we build our faith in Jesus, we will be walking on solid ground.  Through our faith, we will be able to remain strong when hard times come.  We will have unshakable hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.  Let us all come before Jesus and allow Him to become our true cornerstone.

The Day The World Stood Still

 December 19, 2024

Verse of the day - John 19:30 (NRSV)

When Jesus had received the wine, he said, 'It is finished.' Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

In chapter 6 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about the day He gave His life over to His Father in Heaven.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

The entire world stood still the day I gave My life over to My Father in Heaven.  The Roman Soldiers who put Me to death on the cross, realized what they did.  This was a very dark day in history.  My Mother Mary and My disciple John never left My side.  I gave My Mother to you on this day.  I ask that you love her and give her respect just as I did.  Do not be afraid to ask for help from us.  I am your Heavenly Father.  Mary is your Heavenly Mother.  In times of great despair, do not be afraid to pour your heart out before us.  We will always be with you and will never leave your side.  Allow us to take you by the hand and lead the way in which we desire you to walk.

Through Mary saying "YES" to becoming the Mother of Jesus, it was made possible for Jesus to come to earth.  At the age of thirty, Jesus began His main ministry.  He taught His disciples for three years before He was crucified on the cross.  The sky grew dark as Jesus died on the cross because they crucified the Light of the World.  Three days later, Jesus rose from the grave.  He is always with us in the Spiritual Form.

This Christmas Season I would like to say thank you to Mary for saying "YES" to becoming the Mother of Jesus.  Thank you also to Jesus, my Lord and Savior, for with your tremendous sacrifice on our behalf so that everyone who believes in you will gain Eternal Life in Heaven with you.

Pray For Those Who Do Not Believe

 December 18, 2024

Verse of the day - John 14:27 (NRSV)

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.

In chapter 12 of my second book, Jesus tells us to never give up on those who do not believe.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

Be not afraid to come before Me for anything.  I am always here for you.  Come and be one with Me.  Allow Me to wrap My loving arms around you and be set free from all that worries you.  Everything will be taken care of in My timing and according to My Holy Will.  Be not afraid to release everything over to Me.  I hold everything in the palm of My hand.  I will never leave you or forsake you.  I love you always.  I am the Light of the World.  Allow My love to radiate through the way you live.  Be strong in your faith, and help others come to know Me.  By My radiating love, they will have their eyes opened.  Continue to pray for those who do not yet believe.  Never give up on them.  Anytime someone hurts you, love them with all your heart.  Receive My everlasting peace.  A peace that surpasses all understanding. 

Only God Can Bring Us Everlasting Peace

 December 16, 2024

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

and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

In chapter 10 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about His Love for us.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

Come to My loving arms and I will comfort you.  I love you with an everlasting love.  My love for you is great.  I gave My very last breath for the love of you.  There is no greater love than this, to lay down one's life for a friend.  I call you friends because I care greatly for you.  I will be with you always and will never leave your side.  Turn to Me for all of your needs, great and small alike.  I will always wrap you in My loving arms and comfort you like nobody else can.  Only I can give you the everlasting peace that you desire.

There is no greater love than the love of Jesus.  His love is everlasting.  No matter what we do or how far we stray from Him during our life, He will always be there waiting for us to return to Him with open arms.  In our times of need, if we reach out to God, He will always be there for us.

Teach Everyone About Jesus

 December 11, 2024

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

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God - what is good and acceptable and perfect.

In chapter 9 of my fifth book, Jesus speaks to us about teaching everyone about Him.

Excerpt from Pathway To Christ

Through reading My Words spoken to you in the Bible, your mind will be renewed.  You will have a new outlook on life and will know what I desire you to do.  Be bold in your faith and follow Me.  Teach everyone you meet about Me.  When you know Me as your Lord and Savior, I will show you the way to draw others back to Me.  I taught My disciples for three years.  After My death on the cross, they became bold in proclaiming My Words.  Many who did not know Me as their Lord and Savior, came to know Me through My disciples.  Just as My disciples were bold in proclaiming My Words to other people, I also desire My dear children who know Me today to do the same.  Many times, it can be scary to be bold in your faith-life.  Have no fear My dear children.  I will be with you every step of the way.  Cling to Me and I will lead you.  Allow Me to guide your words.

When we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He will guide our words.  He will allow us to know how to speak to others so that we may lead them back to His Merciful Heart.  Just as Jesus' disciples were bold in proclaiming His Words to other people, He desires us to do the same.  Through teaching others about Jesus, many will come to know Him through us.

Chosen By God

 December 10, 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 we were chosen by Him.

Excerpt from Called By God

My dear children, you are chosen by Me.  I call you to be My own.  Follow in My Ways, for My Ways lead to paths of righteousness.  Be not afraid to walk in My Ways.  Many times, My dear children are afraid to follow Me due to fear of persecution.  They are afraid of what other people may think if they follow Me instead of the ways of the world.  Have no fear My dear little ones.  While I was on earth, I was persecuted.  If I was persecuted, so will My followers be also.   Be bold in your faith and do not let fear stop you from what I call you to do.

I consider it an honor to be chosen by God.  We are each called by God in our own way to serve Him.  When we commit our ways to God, He will show us which path of life He desires us to take.  The question is, "How will we know we are following the will of God?" "How can we discern what Jesus desires us to do?"  If Jesus places a desire for us to do a certain thing in life, we will feel peace about it.  If we do not feel peace about it, it means that we should not do what we want to do. God's Will for our life will only bring a sense of peace.  Step by step, when we walk on the path of life with Jesus, He will mold us into what He desires us to be.

Facing Persecution

 December 9, 2024

Verse of the day - Matthew 5:10 (NRSV)

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

In chapter 3 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about persecution.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

Be not afraid to follow Me.  Many times, My dear children are afraid to follow Me because of being ridiculed.  Do not let this stop you.  Many persecuted Me for doing My Father's Will.  Blessed are you when you follow My Ways despite being persecuted for your beliefs.  If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you.  Be prepared to face many trials.  When you encounter trials in your life know that it is a good thing.  Facing trials because of your belief in Me means that you are doing the right thing.  Following My Ways instead of the ways of the world is never easy.  If you follow the ways of the world, which are evil in nature, the world will love you.  If you do not follow the ways of the world, the world will hate you and you will endure suffering.

Receive God's Grace

 December 8, 2024

Verses of the day - Ephesians 2:8-9 (NRSV)

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God - not the result of works, so that no one may boast.

In chapter 5 of my second book, Jesus speaks to us about His grace.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

I indeed bring great hope to all who come to Me.  I will always be here for you.  I will never leave you or forsake you.  Even if everyone around you abandons you, I never will.  You can always rely on Me.  I am the Good Shepherd, and I will never leave My beloved sheep.  Come and receive My saving power.  I desire everyone to come before Me and be saved.  Acknowledge Me as your Lord and Savior.  Do not be afraid to express your great love for Me before others.  I expressed My great love for everyone by dying on the cross.  Through My crucifixion My dear children receive My redeeming grace.  Be receptive to receiving My grace.  Everyone who receives it receives eternal life in Heaven with Me.  Come with repentant hearts and receive My great love and mercy.

Becoming Part Of God's Fold

 December 7, 2024

Verse of the day -  Matthew 18:14 (NRSV)

So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.

In chapter 8 of my first book, Jesus invites us to become part of His Fold.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

When you know Me as your Lord and Savior, you will hear My voice and follow Me.  It should be everyone's goal to bring back the lost sheep of this world to Me.  Allow them to feel My love in everything that you do.  I will always welcome the lost sheep of this world into My Fold.  Be not afraid to speak My Words to the lost sheep, for it is by My love that they will find their way back home to Me.  Without becoming part of My Fold, souls will be lost forever.

Jesus is our Good Shepherd.  We are His sheep.  He watches over us and desires no one to be lost at the end of time.  It is up to us who know Jesus as our Lord and Savior to help lead others back to Him.  If we wander away from His Fold, He will send someone into our lives to lead us back on the right path.  He is also waiting to welcome us back with open arms.

Together With God We Can Do Many Great Things

 December 6, 2024

Verses of the day -  Psalm 1:1-2 (NRSV)

Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or take the path that sinners tread, or sit in the seat of scoffers; but their delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law they meditate day and night.

In chapter 11 of my fifth book, Jesus tells us that we will know what He desires us to do in life.

Excerpt from Pathway To Christ

I walk among My dear children as I did while I lived on earth.  Not in human form do I walk among you, but in Spiritual Form.  I will lead and guide you in the right direction.  Be not afraid to follow My lead.  My dear children, you will know what I desire you to do in life.  If I place a desire upon your heart, know that it is truly of Me if it brings you peace.  Many of My dear children are afraid to follow Me.  Be at peace My dear children.  I will never ask anything of you that we cannot accomplish together.  I will give you the strength to overcome any fears that you may have.  Together we can do many great things.  Be bold in your faith-life.  I will always lead the way.  Many blessings flow upon those who follow Me.

Sometimes in life, we will be called by God to do certain things that scare us. If we follow the will of God, He will give us the strength that we need to overcome any fears that we may have.  With Jesus by our side, we will be able to accomplish many great things.  

Sharing Our Faith With Others

December 4, 2024

Verses of the day -  Romans 5:1-2 (NRSV)

Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

In chapter 4 of my fourth book, Jesus speaks to us about sharing our faith with others.

Excerpt from Called By God

When you experience New Life in Me, you will grow spiritually.  As you continue to grow, share your faith with others so that they may grow also.  By sharing your faith with others, their eyes will be opened.  Many times, My dear children who do not know Me will come to Me through the faith of another person.  Be not afraid to share My love with one another.  It is through the sharing of faith, that My love is shared with the world.  Proclaim My Words so more of My dear children will come to know Me as their Lord and Savior.

We are all on a journey trying to make our way through life.  Even though we all grow spiritually at our own pace, Jesus calls us to share the gift of faith, which we have been given with others.  No matter where we are on our spiritual journey, if we share our faith and experiences with others, we will be able to help one another grow.  Let us journey together through life and help one another any way we can.

Call Upon Jesus In Times Of Need

 December 2, 2024

Verse of the day - John 6:63 (NRSV)

It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless.  The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

In chapter 8 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about following Him.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

Be prepared to face trials.  I had many trials while on earth.  So will My beloved followers.  When trials and tribulations come against My followers, if they call upon My Name in their time of need, I will answer.  I always lead the steps of My dear children.  My dear children, even though you live in the world, please do not follow the ways of the world.  The ways of the world are evil.  Follow in My Steps.

 If we follow the ways of the world, the world will love us.  When we decide to follow Jesus, we will face many trials and tribulations.  With Jesus as our guide, we shall have nothing to fear.  He will direct our steps and show us the way in which He desires us to walk.

Speaking The Words Of Truth

 December 1, 2024

Verse of the day - Proverbs 12:17 (NRSV)

Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness speaks deceitfully.

In chapter 4 of my second book, Jesus speaks to us about speaking words of truth.

Excerpt from Come Back To Me

Be not afraid to speak the words of truth.  When you love one another with your heart, you will share the words of truth with them, no matter how hard it may be.  Some of My dear children may not want to hear the truth spoken to them.  The truth will scare many people, but if what is spoken is accepted there will be great growth.  I desire everyone to grow spiritually in their lives.

Jesus desires us to reach out to other people through love.  When we come to know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He desires us to share our love and knowledge we have of Him.  If we encounter someone that does not yet know of God's great love, we should not be afraid to share our experiences with them.  If we do not know what to say to someone, we can say a small prayer to God.  Jesus is always with us, and He will guide our words.
