What leads to strife (discord and feuds) and how do conflicts

(quarrels and fightings) originate among you? Do they not arise

from your sensual desires that are ever warring in bodily members?

You are jealous and covet (what others have) and your desires that go

unfulfilled; so you become murderers. (To hate is to murder as far as

your hearts are concerned.) You burn with envy and anger and are not

able to obtain (the gratification, the contentment, the happiness that you

seek), so you fight and war. You do not have, because you do not ask God.

(I. John 5.15).

When you do ask, you fail to receive, because you ask with wrong purpose

and evil, selfish motives. Your intention is (when you get what you desire)

to spend it in sensual pleasures.

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is

hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes

an enemy of God. Or do you think the scripture says without reason that

the spirit He caused to live in us envies intensely? But He gives us more

grace. That is why the scripture says:

“God opposes the proud

but gives grace to the

humble.”

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Come near to God and He will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners,

and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change

your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the

Lord, and He will lift you up.

(James 4.1-10).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

 GOD’S LOVE IS THE BEST NEWS

St. John, the disciple who penned this statement in I. John 4.8

experienced intimately the close relationship, love, friendship

and presence of Jesus Christ.

He referred to himself as” the disciple Jesus loved”. You might ask

whether the other disciples did not feel or experience the same love.

The fact is that because  St. John “The Divine” had a close friendship

with Jesus, he in turn experienced the love of Jesus much more

intensely than the rest.

He also wrote,

” By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.”

That’s how we know the extent of Jesus’ love for us.

While we were yet sinners that’s what Jesus did for us to reconcile

us to God.

Much more now we experience the perfect endless love of  God,

indeed we experience who God truly is by the Holy Spirit who

is in our hearts to the extent that we call the Eternal Father our “Daddy”.

” See how the Father has lavished His love on us, that we should be called

children of God!  Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not

know Him.”

” Beloved , now we are children of God and it has not yet been revealed what

we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for

we shall see Him as He is.” ( I. John 3: 1 and 2).

Much much more to come..
