Friend, it is important to remember that God's Mercy is new every morning.

Whatever happened yesterday, happened and there is nothing you can do to change it. But, you can make new changes beginning tomorrow - even this minute.

All we have to do is make a choice to change - even the slightest change will bring new results.

It is said that continuing to do the same thing over and over will always bring the same result. So why not change if the current result is not what you want!

God's mercies cannot be measured. There is one at least for everyone of us each day and we can read His Word to see that they are always flowing from Him - so we can take hold of a new one every second!

He desires good for us just as we desire good for our children and He has the ability to be Merciful and Gracious to us.

He is not like us. He is not limited like we are. His thoughts are far above ours. We cannot comprehend the totality of Who He Is. 

It's all about trust and faith.

Believe  and trust Him.

You will never fully understand Him while alive. This is deliberate on His part. There is a reason why He wants it this way.

Just Trust that He is Good, Faithful, Loving, Merciful and Gracious and All Powerful. God above all the idol gods we make. The One True God who owns everything, knows everything and is Law and Truth.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Friend, our joy comes from knowing that the Holy Spirit dwells within us. He shows us how to worship and pray; how to believe and have faith; how to know the Son.

You were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance. Ephesians 1:13-14

Jesus promised the disciples that He would send the Holy Spirit after His Resurrection and in Acts 2:1-4 it is documented that the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples.

God in the form of the Holy Spirit is with us each and every day. It is the Spirit of God nudging you in the Righteous Path.  It is He who is revealing Jesus to the world. He never tires and will fulfill all God has for Him to do, until Jesus returns.

He is gathering unto Himself a people from earth- from this world, who love Him, to dwell in the Kingdom.

We are like a plant growing wild that the Spirit recognizes as being very valuable, but it needs pruning to grow beautifully.

Allow the pruning, friend. Be open to receiving the life giving water and fertilization. Freely send out shoots to be trained onto the trellis of Spiritual Life.

Draw near so you can be cleansed and nourished. 

And bloom - be thankful and grateful for all He does for you, for Who He Is and for Forgiveness.

Scripture Verse

Be ye therefore ready also; for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Friend, the Holy Spirit is calling all men and women into the knowledge of who Jesus is.

The time is at hand in the world when if the Lord so desires, He can come back as the Mighty Conqueror and all who believe and are alive will be raised up to the heavens to be with Him; all who are deceased who "sleep" will be raised to be with Him and all those saints of Heaven will be with Him.

In the scripture verse above, He advises us to be ready. Ready how?

He means that we do not let our faith and belief wane; that we do not give in to the strife in the world and think that He is not helping us.

It is important to know in your heart and mind that He is the All Powerful God and He has a Plan according to His Law which is Perfect, to overcome evil.

He has been fair with evil. It will one day have had it's "day in the sun" and will be plunged into the bottomless pit.

Many of the signs, according to Biblical scholars are ready for His Second Coming.

If we say in our heart, "My Lord delayed His coming" and fall back into sinful living, thinking and ways then...

The Lord of that servant (man) will come in a day when he looketh not for Him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him  asunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. Luke 12:46

Friend, do you see how important it is for us to be faithful believers?

Don't let the world and all it's offerings deceive you.

Eat, drink and be merry is not a good mantra. This does not mean that we cannot eat and drink and be merry - it just should not be a lifestyle choice that overrides belief in Jesus, God's Son. (After all, Jesus did turn water into wine - fine wine - at the wedding feast. His first public miracle.)

God does not want us worrying, or being unhappy. Our joy comes from inside knowing He is in control and that we have a Holy Just God as our Father, and that we belong in the Heavenly Kingdom.

But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

Friend, the scripture verse above is being spoken over you by the Holy Spirit. It is a Truth and should be held close to your heart each and every day.

Today, put aside all your worries and concerns. 

 Think about those words. 

God wants you to seek Him in His Kingdom. He wants you to think about the fact that He has a Kingdom. He is real and He is offering something to you.

It takes belief to activate.

It takes the kind of belief that is pure.

God can differentiate with a sharp sword, the Truth of what you believe. He cannot be fooled. What you say to Him, one day turns into purity. First we say all kinds of things and He listens and He cares for us, and He guides and directs our lives until comes the day when we are willing to be honest with Him about who He is.

When we "get it" - ah, that's when everything in the spiritual world changes and that sets off a new Plan for you.

Strive for this, my friend! I will give a clue - His Name is Jesus.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1

Friend, in this Bible verse the Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Paul speaks to all believers. He tells us that when we are a believer and follow the teachings of Christ, we will never be condemned by God.

Believers receive the Righteousness of Christ as a covering so that God recognizes us as sons and daughters of His.

God sees that we need work to help us in our daily walk and to make sure that we do not slide back into sin. He has left the Holy Spirit and all the angels at His command to minister to us, here on planet earth.

You will feel convicted of sin; of the words that you use, and of the thoughts you think. This is conviction from the Holy Spirit. He is showing you that changes need to be made for your soul's wellness and growth in the spirit.

Yes, you are a sinner, saved by Grace and God's Mercy keeps you alive until the day when your soul is required in Heaven.  The Spirit strives with you and desires you to be a willing student. One that He can use to further His "army." 

Will you always be a baby Christian or are you willing to learn and grow in Grace and Mercy so that you can be a blessing to others in their quest for Truth?

Friend, be open to the leading of the Spirit and be willing to be an active participant as he leads.

Friend, look for God in all your circumstances each day.

Are not the circumstances of your day, His Will? They should be for a believer.

Therefore, relax and be calm. Stand steady and know that He is for you and if you are willing to be in his Will and only His Will, He will bring you through to the end of His Will for you.

Do you see that this is the only place to be and to desire to be? His Will.

He can be trusted. He is faithful to those who are faithful to Him and even the one who once was faithful but now is less so, He will be faithful to.

You will see it as you look at each day's proceedings.

Be alert to seeing His Will in action. Desire to behold in a new Light, the Ways and Plans He has for your life.

This journey is the best one for your life. The world talks of journeys but this one my friend, is the Ultimate Journey - resting and abiding in His Will.

Friend, how many times have you been snatched from the jaws of evil and not recognized His Hand?

As you look back on 2015, you may recognize that He had something to do with your very survival into 2016.

Praise Him!

Many are the times when God saves us from ourselves and we go merrily on our way without a word of thanks.

If anything good has happened to you, the smallest thing, it is from God for He is Good all the time, and all good things come from Him.

Maybe you're living a sinful lifestyle and sinful things have come your way - friend, these are not from God for He is not a tempter.

Those are gifts from the evil one who will require your soul unless you make a new choice  - Jesus, the creator of your spirit.

This is why being born again of the spirit is so important to Him. We can at any time, have our eyes opened and be able to hear when before we thought we saw and heard just fine.

The song Amazing Grace says it so well...I once was blind but now I see.

Do you walk on the rocky road? Is your mind unstable? Are the sounds of the world, just screeching madness?

There is peace and stability stored up for you. Jesus has a Beautiful Gift in His hand and it's offered to you, right now.

Accept it, my friend. He knows the pain you carry, the burdens that weigh you down and the abandonment you feel.

He can and will restore you when you acknowledge Him as King of your heart and mind.
