Friend, love and laugh through life. God loves us and wants us to be happy.

It is His Will that we love and laugh through the day.

None of us is perfect. Think of the other's life and what they have come through and how things affect them, not just yourself.

Tend to be selfless and not selfish.

Let all be done in gentleness and humility.

Desire to see others with the eyes of Jesus who died for them as He died for you. They too have forgiveness. They too are loved by God.

Bring a happy and loving feeling to the day and let peace reign in your heart - even in the grey and dark days. 

Friend, look around there must be something to give thanks for, to God.

You woke up this morning. Give thanks!

Many of us are suffering in the body from the evil in this world, uprooted from our homelands, sicknesses, war, discriminations, but we must look inward to the soul and spirit and be thankful to God that we have another day to connect with Him.

Today is a new day and His Mercies and Grace for today are new once again.

He offers you His Love again. Will you accept it?

Will you recognize that the Father's Son died for you to have eternal life with Him when this body is worn out and can no longer exist?

Give thanks as you dwell for a few minutes in repose thinking about Who God Is, and what He has done for you in making a Way especially for you.

He loves us individually. Each of us has the opportunity to know Him personally. This is what He desires; to know you personally. He wants that personal relationship with you.

In thankfulness, we draw close to Him.

Friend, always have Godly Hope.

Never give up on anything good that you know God approves of.

If you're walking through a storm right now, start the fire of hope with that first spark. Hope is everything.

It will see you through trying times.

God loves you and has a Plan for you. Walk through the fire and be filled with Hope.

Believe and never let go of your love for Jesus. He will make a Way where there seems to be no way.

The Hope of the world, Jesus, is our King and He knows of all our problems. Light that spark of Hope, and keep it alight.

Evil hates Hope. It cannot overcome Hope!

So friend, have Hope.

Fill your mind with the Hope that God gives to you so that you drive out all the negativity. He will strengthen you through Hope.

Love Hope, encourage Hope, and be filled with Hope.

Allow Hope to teach you the Truth.

You can bear Godly Truth when you know you have Hope.

God bless you on your spiritual journey!

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may grow thereby. 1Peter 2:1-3

Friend, scholars of the Bible have said that these words were written in 63AD near the end of the Disciple Peter's life.

He writes to all the peoples who are under his ministry and have become born again, and are following the teachings of Jesus, in 63AD.

He knows of the strifes and hard times they all are having and have had, and wishes to write something to them they can refer back to, when diverse issues plague their churches, gatherings and their personal tribulations.

If you are born again, the reading of this Book of the Bible 1 Peter will speak to you very personally. The Holy Spirit in conjunction with your new spirit, will reveal the mind of God to you concerning your sufferings and temptations.

A born again person should hear the Spirit speaking to them in this Book. Read it with a believer's heart as if Peter is writing to you.

At the end of verse 2 in the first chapter, Peter says to you, "Grace unto you and Peace, be multiplied."

Ahhh! How wonderful!

He says, "Receive the Peace of the Lord and the Grace for which He died that you might have." ( In today's words.)

Allow your soul and spirit to be a recipient of the Peace and Grace of the Lord and read through 1 Peter to hear what the Lord is saying to you.

He is speaking to the believers of old but His Words are for us today as well.  

Friend, it is imperative for our souls that we place full trust in the Lord for what He has done, for what He is doing and for what He is going to do in our lives.

He desires nothing but the best for us. However we may have wandered far from Him. We may have had our back turned to Him our whole lives. We may be in not one, but many bondages of sin.

He knows the Way out for us. He sees all. There is nothing about you that surprises Him. He sees all your insecurities, your abnormalities, your idiosyncracies, your penchants, and so on.

We are foolish to keep walking away. What are you walking from? There is nothing you can hide.

Your unbelief is foolishness to Him. He sees what it does to you but you will not allow Him to help you!

To continue to think the same way will not change things in your life. You will still be on the receiving end of all the madness of the world, but have no Way out.

Today we have all the social interactions over the internet where we can find like minded souls to encourage us as we walk our treacherous path to hell. Be careful.

God has made a Way for you and it is availabel to you while you live on this earth.

It is the Faith in Jesus Way and involves you trusting that the Father sent His Son to be a Sacrifice for your sins.

Seek Truth. He reveals Himself to the sincere seeker..

Jude 1:17-25

But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.

How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time. Who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not Spirit.

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most Holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Keep yourselves in the Love of God, looking for the Mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

And on some have compassion, making a difference:

And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

Now unto Him that is able to keep you from failing, and to present you faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy,

To the only Wise God our Saviour, be Glory and Majesty, Dominion and Power, both now and forever. Amen.

Friend, it is God who does the choosing.

It is He who has chosen you. It is He who has brought you to this place, this day, this frame of mind, no matter what it is.

Perhaps you are feeling unloved. It is He who has allowed you this feeling and it is He who is calling you to  Himself to reveal His Son to you and show you Love Eternal and Complete; that you may have it for yourself.

He will fill the emptiness. He will heal the depression. He Loves.

He knows all your ways. He has seen all you have done and what you plan to do. He is waiting for you to look to Him for Love.

He has chosen you to be loved by Him.

It is you who have not given Him the permission to do so.

He is waiting. Always waiting while we live - even at the deathbed.

The time is now. Don't hesitate. Don't allow another second of bad thinking or bad choices to take hold of your soul and spirit.

God is Merciful while you live. You don't know how much time you have. But, God does!

Get rid of the unlovable areas of your life. Identify them and one by one, place them at the foot of the Cross of Jesus. Allow Him to burn them up in the Perfect Presence of His Love.

He has chosen you; will you yield?
