ENTHUSIASM

Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always

obeyed my suggestions, so now, not only with

the enthusiasm you would show in my presence,

but much more because I am absent, carry out to

the goal your  own salvation with reverence, awe,

serious caution and watchfulness against temptation.

For it is God Who is all the while at work in you, both

to will and to work for His good pleasure and delight.

(Philippians 2.12 & 13).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

YOURSELVES

Humble yourselves in the presence

of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

(James 4. 10).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

GREAT JOY

To Him Who is able to keep you from falling

and to present you before His glorious presence

without fault and with great joy- to the only God

our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority,

through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now

and forevermore! Amen.

(Jude 24 & 25)

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

HOW WE KNOW

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life

for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need

but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions

and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth,

and how we set our hearts at rest in His presence whenever our

hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and He knows

everything.

SEARCHED

O Lord, you have searched me thoroughly and have known me.

You know my downsitting and my uprising. You understand my

thought afar off.

You sift and search out my path and my lying down, and You are

acquainted with all my ways.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, behold, O Lord, You know

it altogether.

You have beset me and shut me in- behind and before, and You have

laid Your hand upon me.

Your infinite knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high above me,

I cannot reach it.

Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence?

If … Continue Reading

God Is Love

 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 … Continue Reading
