Daily Dose of God’s Glorious Love

I pray for those who cry alone And do not know God is there I pray for those carrying others shame And do not know God is there I pray for those living in fear And do not know God is there I pray for those without hope And do not know God is there I pray for those who despair And do not know God is there I pray for those who are enslaved And do not know God is there I pray for those hurting others And do not know God is there I pray for those crying to God That they will know God is there Oh my God, there are so many crying out for help and do not know You are there. Help them to know they are not alone because You are with them I pray. Comfort them with Your presence and bring hope as a light to overcome the darkness. In Jesus name. Amen – So Be It. PS. I love You Lord for first loving me.

November 25, 2018 Psalm 100 “ 1 ¶ A psalm of thanksgiving. Shout with joy to the LORD, all the earth! 2 Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. 3 Acknowledge that the LORD is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” (Ps alm 100:1-5 NLT) Thanksgiving has come but hopefully not gone for thanksgiving is essential every day. Thanksgiving helps keep us balanced living in a world where things can be more important than people or a relationship with God. To give thanks for what God has given to us is to understand God’s love and faithfulness. From being thankful for what we have takes us from the shallowness

N ovember 18, 2018 1 John 4:18 “ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18 NKJV) When we see someone who is angry we at times want to withdraw in fear. They may hurt us or belittle us and so we are guided by our fear to run and leave an opportunity to share the love of Jesus. Fear rules us and limits our lives and ministry. If we allow fear to rule our lives we can become angry with ourselves and maybe even with others and then God! We can easily go from fear of displeasing God and His wrath to anger at God for fail ing to help us and for the discouragement we fe e l. Our fear and anger can attack our faith and soon we can lose our relationship with God who is the only One who can help us. And then fear can cast o ut our love for God or have a broken love that can cause fear of God mak ing it hard to love God or we may even come to hate God

     It has been a long time since I updated my condition. Sometimes I feel I am just sharing my complaints but I hope to show you the glory of God in the midst of my suffering. It is so hard to understand why I am going through this. Some believe bad things happen to bad people and good things happen to good people. There are two problems with this reasoning.      First Jesus reminds us only God is good! We are all tainted and covered with our sinfulness and we truly only deserve sickness and hell!      Secondly if you look through the history of Christianity you will see many people God uses were either martyred or were disabled in some way. God works through our weakness. If we allow it!      I continue to get weaker and so weary my mind is at times so clouded it is hard to read or even pray. Not only does the Holy Spirit speak for me but teaches me to just pray God will work things out according to His will. At times God’s will seems harsh to me but I trust God’s w

November 11, 2018 Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV) “ "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.” (Isa iah 1:18 NKJV) We may not come to God at times out of fear of condemnation (see John 3:17) or out of pride thinking we can find our own way by our own wisdom. But God condescends to call us to reason together. The Hebrew word Niphal is used for reason or to reason together and is in what is called the imperfect tense which adds color and movement by suggesting the "process" preliminary to its completion. Some see faith in God as throwing our intellect away and just “trusting” in God. But God reminds us though we are called to trust in God so our sins will be covered through the sacrifice of Jesus we are also called to reason with God. We are called to constantly reason with God so our faith can grow as our relat

Recently I read an NPR article my son Jonathan sent me titled Another 'Civil War'? Pessimism About Political Violence Deepens In A Divided Nation We have talked about this for years as we have seen the fear and anger used to make opponents look mean or even downright evil.  With sadness we have watched, politics, media, sports and even "christian" denominations.  The very serious topics of discussion become secondary to the anger and demonization.  I found this prayer from a replica of a Confederate Soldiers Pocket Prayer Guide.  I hope you will join with me in praying this everyday! A PRAYER FOR OUR ENEMIES.          O GOD, we beseech You , forgive and pardon our enemies, and give us that measure of Your grace, that for their hatred we may love them; for their cursing we may bless them; for their injury we may do them good; and for their persecution we may pray for them. They have laid a net for our steps, and they have d u g a pit before us; Lord, we desi
