‪Never allow your zeal to be right interfere with you willingness to love those God has placed in your pathways. ‬

If you do again what you have done before it is your choice. So, now you are responsible for it. 

‪Once you have had your heart saturated in God’s Grace you never want to be any distance from it.‬

‪Feeling the slightest presence of God changes everything about a moment, forever. ‬

‪When your life has immersed in God’s love you finally begin to grasp the meaning of love. ‬

‪Everyday presents a new opportunity for you to bring joy to someone’s life.‬

‪Gratitude is humility in action. ‬

‪Your life can only increase in value when you share it. ‬

‪It is always better to love than to hate...yes, always. ‬

‪When you mean to be mean you have lost your bearings, turn around immediately. ‬

‪Even good people do bad things,on purpose sometimes, but they repent; evil people tend not to repent but continue in their evil instead. ‬

‪Love gives before it is asked and gives more than required. ‬

Understanding people is a chore, an effort, a joy, a gift and a responsibility.

You tend to learning more about folks when the don’t get their way than you will when they do. 

Never marry anyone until you have driven through, New York’s Times Square, at rush hour, with them, a few times!

‪‪Remember it is so much easier to see the faults of others and to put great effort into trying to change them, than it is to see your own faults which we actually can change, if we wanted too! ‬

‪Why do we want to ignore our faults while trying desperately to expose the faults of others?‬

‪Money can make life easier but not happier, it will take people to do that and if you want Joy you will need Jesus to find that!‬

Finding the truth is easier than living the truth.

I just might get up tomorrow morning and go work out at the gym or I could win the lottery...the odds are about the same. Since I have no gym membership or lottery ticket!

‪Being a friend of Grace is not the same as living in Grace. ‬

‪Some of God’s Grace is measured by your willingness to accept it.‬

‪Much of God’s Grace is give to both the willing and the unwilling.‬

‪Whatever Grace is given to you is not for hoarding.‬

‪Grace is freedom to do the will of God in your life. 

‪Talk about an awkward moment…What are you going to tell God about your life since you were saved, when you are before Him Judgment Day?‬

‪You are saved to serve not saved by serving.‬

‪Be cautious about condemning yourselves or others, let Grace, mercy and love, be served first. ‬

Love is about service not just a feeling.

‪Love becomes its own responsibility...independent of whether it is reciprocal or not. ‬

I accept all the responsibility for my action except those that I can ”reasonably” or sometimes (unreasonably) blame on someone else.

‪Happiness is the choice of happy people. ‬

‪Attitude brings more happiness than accomplishment.‬

‪You can provide an atmosphere of happiness for those you love but  only they can choose to be happy. ‬

‪For Christians, happiness is a gift to the faithful, from the Father. ‬

‪Your experiences with God will bring you volumes strength that will increase your Faith.‬

‪Your prayers are no frailer than your Faith and often greater!‬

‪God has chosen you to minister; you get to choose if you will.‬

‪Your prayers mean as much to God, as those of Peter, Paul, or any of any preacher you may know.‬

‪‪Does your faith exceed your expectations?‬ It should everyday of your Christian life. 

‪How often are mesmerized by hope you have set before you?‬

God has and will always exceed you greatest hopes while dismissing your greatest fears. 

Pride goes before the fall, but laziness will get you there the quickest.‬

‪The willingness to consider doing wrong is the key to opening the door towards doing wrong.‬

‪The answers we do not want are still answers.‬

‪Doubt darkens hope the as little else can!‬

‪However then, hope can shatter darkness the way nothing else can. ‬

The less you judge the happier you will become. 

‪Your judgments of others will influence their judgment of you, as well.‬

‪Judgment of management and judgments of character are not the same.‬

‪The Judgement of motives and the judgement accomplishments are not the same. ‬

‪Never judge what you don’t have too!‬

‪One of the best things you can do for yourself is to minister to others.‬

‪It you think you are the center of attention step back a few yards, and keep quiet. If you are....the crowd should be  moving with you. ‬

‪Whether you are being obnoxious or being the center of attention is often just a matter of opinion.‬

The most important thing in life is not knowing everything, it’s being married to or having a friend who does!

Give all of your “can’ts” to Jesus and start doing what you can!

‪The desire to be free of God is a desire for pain in our lives and also in the lives of those we love the most. ‬

‪No man is ever free you will either serve God out of a love and desire for Him or be imprisoned by our lust, serving and loving that which is evil. ‬

Your desires are both your best friend and your worst enemy because they decide if you are challenged or driven. 

Sin is often desires demanded before they should be given or wanted even when we should not have them at all.

“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.” Mathew 6:24. “

Choose you today whom you will serve.” Joshua 24:15

‪

‪Temptation comes to us dressed up  just like we would like for it to be. ‬

‪Temptation is a bundle of your desires with a little bit of twist, and a sign saying, it is not too soon, better now than never, only this time and so very many others. ‬

‪Your heart is the author of your own temptations.‬

One of the difficulties with the “Big Bang” theory is where does the material come from for the “Big Bang” to take place?

‪In marriage, the economy of love, requires consistent deposits of unlimited mercy, forgiveness and the continuous reconciliation of those involved.‬

Marriage is the laboratory where two lives are blending into a unit of love. Yet, this love never loses its individual identity, even while assuming a new one, called “togetherness”. It is sort of a human “trinity” that reflects the “Triune God”  which marriage was intended to describe.

‪We all have excuses for what we do or don’t do, that we have allowed to hinder or defeat our progress in one way or another. ‬

‪Excuses are limitations we have accepted rather than chosen to overcome. ‬

‪We all try to justify our behavior into acceptability, while questioning the behaviors of others.‬

Pray more, judge less, do more and resist not doing as we should!

‪A friend causes me to be myself without fear.‬

‪A good friend not only accepts you as you are but give you the space that change and grow even when it causes you to leave them behind for awhile. ‬

‪Friends come and go, but great friends stay. ‬

‪Marriage is love that cannot be explained, experience or expressed in any other way.‬

‪Men soon learn that women cry when they are happy or sad and when they are not happy or sad. ‬

‪Men cry best where no one can see them. ‬

‪Men and women both realize that tears help you see more clearly.‬

‪Charity and kindness are great ways to increase your Heavenly wealth. ‬

‪Clarity usually means, seeing it my way!‬

‪Love is more concerned about the one loved than it is about itself. ‬

‪In life it is best to learn the lessons you need before you have to be taught them. ‬

‪Love is about two folks filled with compassionate commitment for each other. ‬

‪True love must be calculated from the end to the beginning not visa-versa. ‬

‪Every once in a while, a Christian’s happiness is interrupted with bouts of pure joy. ‬

‪Until wisdom is applied to a life it is as useless as ignorance. ‬

‪When you are smart enough to be humble you have made a great leap of accomplishment. ‬

‪“Today is the day the Lord has made.” But so was yesterday and so tomorrow will be, if you are blessed enough to experience it.‬

‪
‪Purposeful happiness is a result of making a choice and then making an application. ‬

The habit of purposeful happiness leads to joy. 

Without Jesus there is little happiness and certainly no true pure joy.

‪The best way to keep your “to do list” looking good is to not list it until it is done...then post it and just cross it off. 

‪Even when I can’t complain. I sometimes give it a try anyhow.‬

Learn to enjoy today because tomorrow may have some unpleasant surprises for you. 

‪A note to the young and a reminder to the old; the more you love God the smarter you will be and happier you will become. ‬

‪God can make the greatest failure a success and the biggest fool a wiseman. ‬

Jesus showed you the extent of God’s love for you at the Cross and His resurrection showed you His commitment to you. ‬

‪The success of God’s love in your life is dependent on your willingness not His. ‬

‪God is willing that not any should perish but that all should come to Him, in repentance.  

‪The love of the heart of God beats in every Christian and is the hidden desire in the hearts of those who aren’t even seeking Him. ‬

‪The ultimate healing of a man is not when he steps out of a hospital room but when takes his first step onto the streets of gold in Heaven. ‬

‪You are the material of someone else’s blessing, just as someone else is made up to bless you. ‬

‪God’s economy of love is made up to be given to and spent on those who could never afford nor deserve such love...in other words you and me!‬

‪Every Christian’s Faith goes past their ability to comprehend. ‬

‪Faith, by its very nature, hopes for more than it can ask for. ‬

‪Faith contains both doubt and expectations at the sametime. ‬

‪Faith gives us backbone while melting our hearts into acceptance of whatever God wills for our life.

‪God’s love is far more thorough and profoundly comprehensive than any mother’s love or father’s love could possibly contain.‬

‪God’s love is simply, everlasting applied and inexhaustibly wonderful. ‬

‪Lord you have brought me this far for a reason, help me to do my part of that reason, today.‬

‪Lord may your love to me flow though me into the lives you intent to bless with that love. Help me, Lord Jesus, not to hinder your love in any way. ‬

‪Lord help me today to more yours, than mine. ‬

‪God’s love, is a necessary gift you cannot thrive without. ‬

‪God’s Grace is a necessary gift you can not overcome without. ‬

‪God’s mercy is the only gift that can keep you out of Hell.‬

‪God’s love is the only way you can learn to love your enemies. ‬

‪God’s Love gives you tears of compassion.‬

‪Choose to “do good and shun evil” first thing every day ‬

‪Only you can choose to “do good and shun evil”, your friends may help or hinder you but you are the one making that choice!‬

‪You can never be right until you live right!‬

‪What you do is who you are, and only Grace can make you any different.‬

Whenever you have done something good for anyone, it is always accompanied by a feeling of satisfaction. 

Why are we rarely temped to do what is right?

Every sinner should be as nervous as a tree in a dog pound.

‪Why do we know it is wrong and do it anyway?‬

‪If you have to ask yourself, “should I do this or not?” You likely shouldn’t. ‬

‪Few people are tempted to too much good, and fewer, yet, end up doing it. ‬

‪Sin, tends to ignore the “should I” questions, choosing to focusing on the rewards of the temptation, instead. 

‪The vision that you will need in your life, can best be seen through the eyes of your soul.‬

‪“The first shall be last and the last shall be first” but even the last in Heaven is better than all alternatives the world will offer you.‬

‪The eyes of your heart are more easily focused on the things that truly matter.

‪Love is where you lean on each other’s strengths while helping those strengths to be useful, not a source of arrogant and forgiving each other’s weaknesses, while helping the other build up their weaknesses into strengths. ‬

‪Never burden yourselves with the hatred of others.‬

‪Borrowed hatred is especially troublesome to process as you are not the one who was offended, so it is more difficult to know how to forgive. ‬

‪Hatred is a form of invasive cancer, that can only cured by love. ‬

Ministry is simply living the best version of Jesus you can, day after day, after day!

Love accepts the failure, weaknesses, and limitations, of others but still see a way to allow them to grow for their betterment.

Love sees your best, your strengths, your vision, your hopes and allows you the room to accomplish what God desires for your heart.

From His hands, to yours, to another’s; that is the cycle of life in God’s plan for you and everyone else. 

Your life never shines as bright as when you are doing something for another who can never pay you back. 

Far every Christian, ministry is your life’s calling.

‪Give thanks in all circumstance not for all circumstances that you put yourself in; but if God put you in those circumstances, then be grateful.‬

‪God delivers us from all our sins but not from the consequences of all sin.‬

‪Even forgiven sin has consequences.

‪Sweet revenge always sours over time. ‬

‪Doing what is wrong to punish someone who has done your wrong is never right. ‬

‪A teaspoon of wisdom is better than a lake filled with just knowledge, alone. 

‪A wise man applies what he knows; a foolish man just brags about what he knows. ‬

‪The difference between knowledge and wisdom is success.‬

‪If a man who knows better but does something anyway, it is called sin!‬

What you do is what you believe and who you are. 

‪Doing a kindness is the only sweet revenge that last. ‬

‪The blessings of giving a blessing are perpetual. ‬

A smile changes the atmosphere you share with anyone and everyone else. 

‪Prison is full of people who were taught to do their own thing, all is ok if you want to do it, then do it. ‬

‪Not all prisoners are behind bars, some are enslaved by habits, some by desires, others by the will of those who lead them. ‬

‪To fail is one thing to remain a failure is quite another. ‬

Truth never changes but our comprehension of it should.

Truth is infallible but the consequences vary. 

What is right is right, regardless of how it feels or what others think. 

Circumstances, opinions, notions, or desires, never change truth nor alter there consequences.

‪There is never, not enough, Grace available for the asking and the believing. ‬

‪“Faith Grace” is God’s gift to the believer. ‬

‪“Faith Grace” makes the possible probable and the impossible likely. ‬

‪Grace cannot be measured, only used, without ever being used up. ‬

Grace is both the power to change and the determination to stand firm. 

Grace is not free but it was paid for with a tremendous price, yet God has chosen to give it freely. 

Mankind itself exists only by God’s Grace whether they are aware of it or not. 

Choose to have a Grace based life!

‪‪People often diminishes the value of what they chose to forget, losing the lesson, as well.‬

‪Those lessons you have chosen to forget are bound to return, perhaps in another form, but they will return.‬

‪The most difficult lessons to accept are the one we learned but tried to forget. Perhaps it was the teacher, or the people involved, perhaps the circumstances surrounding the lesson, or even the lesson itself, but the lesson was there to be learned.

‪Be loyal to to yourself and to those who have earned your loyalty.‬

‪Being loyal to a cause can be noble, being loyal to people is often celebrated, being loyal to the ones you love is what love is. ‬

‪Being loyal to anyone any cause that is not of God is off limits to you as well.‬

Knowing what I believe is one thing, staying faithful to what I believe, until it comes to pass, is quite another.

Love is faithful because that is the very nature of love.

Being a true friend means you have taken the time to shift through a lot of the sand to find the gold.

Marriage is not something you understand but something you share and drawl strength from, while giving strength to one another.‬

‪Marriage contains a love that pushes aside missunderstanding in favor of the believing that the intention love is for the betterment of the one loved.‬

Luck has nothing to do with a happy marriage; it only comes from hard work, sacrifice, a willingness to love, no matter what, no mater when, and never allowing the bad in life, to overrun the good. 

‪Your life, as a Christian, is God’s last testimony to someone. ‬

‪Never assume that a wrong has become, not only right, but “a right” just because others are doing it. ‬

‪God will have the last say, not the conservatives or the liberals!‬

‪Learn to be patient and tolerant with people but never with their sins. ‬

‪Love will triumph over evil...yes...all evil!

Our world is becoming populated with firemen, running to and fro quickly put out any fire of knowledge, Faith , or hope, so that the ”people sheep” will diligently follow society’s (Satan’s) newest lies into a world where, people not only cannot, but will not, think for themselves.

‪Christian, everything  you do in life, is just another means of spreading God’s influence. Monks have little effect on the world around them.  Every life is a ministry in some way or another...to someone or another. Don’t put your light under a bushel...Let it SHINE!‬...Let it SHINE!...Let it SHINE!

‪Until God, is all you have, you will never have all you want. ‬

‪The Blood of Jesus is more powerful than all of the evil in this world. Take what power in Christ you have, and apply it to the lives you meet each and every day. Your world will be changed forever, and the lives God touches through you, will never be the same again, either!

‪Doing as I please is the beginning step towards tragedy.‬

‪Responsibility is sin conquered.‬

Too many folks are concerned about their freedom to do what they want and too few are celebrating the freedom not have to do as they would want.

However you express your freedom there will always be consequences either good or bad.

‪A hero is anyone who does what he can in spite of his fears.‬

‪Freedom is a costly blessing.‬

‪They are of equal value; what I die for and what I live for!‬

‪The blessing of freedom come with a heritage of sacrefice.‬

‪It is going the second mile that makes the first mile important...that is what our military has done over many centuries. 

‪Family is one of Memorial Day’s comforting blessings.‬

‪Perhaps the ultimate sacrifice was given by those parents who raised the one who gave their all.‬

Memorial Day is about the gift of others to the quality of your life.

One often diminishes the value of what they chose to forget.

Jesus is the ultimate Veteran of the Day but He can’t count because He rose from the dead!

‪Pray not for rewards but for understanding.‬

‪A Smoky Mountain Hi.
The amount of sorry you feel for sin, can be calculated by your repentance, times the amount of the change you make, times the length of the change, divided by the times you revert to your old bad behaviors, when you are under duress. ‬

Repentance , without change, means you are not sorry for your sin, but you are sorry for being caught.

A repentant person does not cling to being sorry, he changes instead. 

Change is the single most obvious difference, that shows that repentance has taken place.

The reason that talk is so cheap is because supply exceeds demand.

Only, Godly sorrow, can lead to sainthood. 

A Christian never takes a step the has not already been walked in; because, the Father of All, was there before they ever too that step. He  is ever before a Christian, behind them, and with every Christian for every step.

Be loyal to to yourself and to those who have earned your loyalty.

Being loyal to a cause can be noble, being loyal to people is often celebrated, being loyal to the ones you love is what love is. 

Being loyal to anyone any cause that is not of God is off limits to you as well.

Knowing what I believe, is one thing, staying faithful to what I believe, until it comes to pass, is quite another.

Love is faithful because that is the very nature of love.

Being a true friend means you have taken the time to shift through a lot of the sand to find the gold.

The most difficult lessons to accept are the one we learned but tried to forget. Perhaps it was the teacher, or the people involved, perhaps the circumstances surrounding the lesson, but the lesson was there to be learned.

Those lessons you have chosen to forget are bound to return, perhaps in another form, but they will return.

‪There is a balance between faith and hope is called work.‬

‪A kite, in the wind, is easier to guide than a kite laying on the ground that just wants to fly. ‬

To a kite the string is its Faith for Christians that string comes with three entwined, prayer, love, and obedience. 

‪Likewise, a Christian in prayer is much easier led, than a Christian who just wants to be led . ‬

‪Someone reading the Bible learns considerably more, than someone just carrying the Bible.‬

‪What cannot be said or done in love; should never be said or done at all.‬

‪It is the love, that is the greatest measure of any gift, not the act of giving or the gifts itself. ‬

‪Of the two, finacial satisfaction or soul satisfaction, feeding your soul, then other souls, will be your best choice.

‪People tend to undervalue what they have, and overvalue what they want.‬

‪An unsatisfied soul is the Devil’s delight. ‬

‪To many Christians put their trust in what they don’t have, insteading of, putting to good use what they already have been given from God.‬

‪Learn to do what you can, with what you have first!

A Smoky Mountain hi 

‪May you bring a breath of fresh air when you come not when you go!‬

‪It is part of your responsibility to recognize how you affect others, for good or for ill. Are you wearing them down or building them up?‬

‪Always be aware that everyone you meet is already carrying their own burden.‬ it is your choice to lighten it or add to it. 


‪Parents must discipline and train while, grandparents are there to help grandchildren to love and feel accepted.‬

‪Parents often must error on the side of discipline, grandparents tend to error on the side of mercy. ‬

‪Parenting and grandpareting work best when everyone is on the same wavelength. ‬

‪Forgive all you can then ask God for the strength to forgive all that is left. ‬

‪You will never know who you are or what freedom feels like, until you forgive someone you really hated. ‬

‪Forgiveness is for you to be relieved of the burdens of hate. It does not release the offender from their burden at all.‬

‪Part of the human experience is to make mistakes, another part of the human experience is to apologize and do your best to make things right. ‬

‪Repentance without change is a bad apology. ‬

‪Dwell on what good others have done to you, not what good you did for another ‬

‪Telling the truth provides you with the best memory!‬

There are no sins where no one gets hurt. Sin always hurts you, those who love and pray for you. 

Never ignore temptation resist it and make haste plans to escape it. 

You are never tempted unless you have something of value to lose!

Temptation is a lie you want to believe. 

Be a blessing. It is the least and the best you can be. 

Temptation is a double edged sword, where Satan wounds you and discourages you at the same time. 

Temptation is to know better than you are about to do!

No one ever feel better about themselves after they sin who still have any form of a conscience.

Sever temptation is you last warning. 

Truth never changes, only the reasons we fail to accept it differ.

Truth is a gift to those seek knowledge and a blister to the soul who reject it. 

Truth is either comforting or disconcerting. 

Truth is never eroded by laws or the opinion of man.

Truth is God’s cleansing agent.

God does not get better and better every day we just discover more and more about Him each day.

Faith is a form of searching God, His love, He mercy, and His Grace...Each search, is a lifetime treasure hunt. 

Christians, will really never know how good they “have it” until Judgement Day. 

Even the persuasive voice of many can never change God’s truth ... never!
Sin is your choice that funds terrorist cells in your life and perhaps in another’s life.  

Grace is Heaven’s super glue.

Love, hinders no one, except those fleeing God. 

Without love, abject poverty, is all you can possibly have! 

The poorest man, filled with love, is the richest man you will ever meet.

Poverty of the heart is the reward of greed. 

If memory serves me right I only remember the things I think about.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus look full in His wonderful face, and the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His Glory and Grace.”

What I chose to see, I eventually, become!

Pray that you will not be strangled by your own weaknesses, or loose your faith, over someone one else’s weaknesses. 

The only perfect people you will meet in life, are bachelor’s wives and old maid’s husbands.

However, when you meet, Jesus, you have found true perfection.

‪Life’s is either preparing us for the greatest tragedy of missing Heaven or is preparing us for our greatest joy of arriving in Heaven.‬

‪Hell is filled with only personal sorrow, there will be no one there interested in your sorrow. ‬

‪Heaven will be celebrated by everyone there.‬

Some folks have become comfortable with their discontentment, thinking...this the best that there is. 

Comfortable misery is a terrible condition. 

Timothy 6:6 “But godliness with contentment is great gain”

Love you enemies, as willing, as you love your friends.

I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar. I hate all who deal crookedly; I will have nothing to do with them. Psalms 101:3

Your friends guide your mind and your mind chooses its master. 

You can’t  choose yourself to be your master; evil or good will be your master.

If memory serves me right I only remember the things I think about.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus look full in His wonderful face, and the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His Glory and Grace.”

What I chose to see, I eventually, become!

The greatest risk of attending a “dead church” is that you may become like them instead of them becoming like you.

In every successful life, fortitude is an attitude!

If fortitude becomes a noun then perseverance becomes its verb.

You can’t finish what you don’t start. 

Life has two big storms the first is when you begin to stall your progress and near the end to try to put you off course.

Love is happiest when the one loved is happy.

Love doesn’t always understand, but it is always more understanding. 

Love is not an escape; it is a destination. 

Love never looks back for a reason to stop, only for memories to fuel it through tough times. 

Love is severely wonderful!

Giving means living.
Praying means loving.
Loving means sharing.
Caring means doing.
Judging turns off loving.
Hatred turns off living.
Unforgiving turns off caring.
Bitterness turns off everything.

Good men are not always wise and wise men are always good. Only a Christian has a shot at being both wise and good!

‪Just because you are wrong doesn’t mean I am right.‬

‪One can be correct without being right and you can be right without being correct. ‬

‪Power is intoxicating, money is addictive and Christians are not immune. ‬

‪Never let your biases lead you to revenged, instead let your love lead you to righteousness. 

The Grace of God is richer than you are poor, freer than you are bound, wiser than your ignorance, and it is all perfectly and completely free!

‪Wisdom is a seed that grows slowly in young mind but should mature with age.‬

‪Wisdom give that which cannot be taken away by any other means but neglect.

‪The application of wisdom is the ultimate wisdom. ‬

‪It is better to be a little wise than abundantly foolish. ‬

‪Without God all human wisdom is ultimately foolishness!‬

You will have far more influence while you are on earth, because in eternity, you will have none. Therefore, while on your earthly journey, influence every life you can, for God. 
So, do it, now!

‪What you do with your money is much more important than how much you made.‬

‪What you give of what you have in Jesus name will follow you throughout eternity, what you give in your name will soon be forgotten. ‬

‪Your influence for God will last longer than whatever money you leave behind.‬

Wise beyond his years is the one who chooses to live a little bit older while younger and a little bit younger when he gets older. 

Be slow to avenge what is righteous, as truth is its own defense, less pride replace healing and truth is more tarnished by your deeds than theirs.  

Judge your feelings, notions, prejudice and conclusions before judging the motives of others. 

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as you take any step to redeem a brother who see things differently than you may. 

When correcting a believer, be cautious but not fearful, be kind but be clear,  come with a redemptive heart, striving not to injury but to heal. 

Consider the effect of your actions on those who may be innocent who surround the offending one with their love as well. 

Be sure the splinter in your brother’s eye has not blur your vision as well. 

If you are anchored in hopelessness, despair will always keep your blessings away.

Never allow the troubles from the past to outweigh the joys of the present. 

Man often tries to pick through their weakness looking for hope but it never is found there. 

If you are ever proud of your sin you are indeed deceived.

Shame takes away our feelings of belonging. 

Feeling forgiveness is far more difficult to experience than being forgiven. 

Gospel is the behind the protection and the power of every Christian to live as a Christian not just say that you are one. 

If you don’t believe that God loves you, you do not understand the Gospel in any manner. 

Love does not create fear in those they love. 

Accepting the love of God brings joy not sorrow. 

Are you a witness to the sorrow of God by rejecting His love or a witness to the freedom God’s love brings you by accepting His love. 

In life you have to know and accept that part of life’s joy will always be in you and set before you and will always be yet to come!

‪Freedom is about so much more than hamburgers, fireworks and watermelons as good as they are; freedom is about the people who cannot celebrate it because the gave their lives so you could celebrate freedom. Never lose what cost so very, very much. ‬

In America your freedom exist within the boundaries of laws.

Your freedom in the USA is being bought and is continually preserved by the lives and dedication of brave men and women.

Independence and freedom are not the same.

You never want to independent from God , but you want freedom from sin.

Your spiritual freedom has be paid for by the blood of Jesus.

‪It is your Faith in Jesus, God’s only Son that brings freedom to your heart.  ‬

‪Nothing or no one else can ever set you free! So believe and be free indeed!‬

‪Choose to let go of what is hurting you before it hurts someone you love.‬

‪You never carry your burdens alone, your love ones are always caring the heavy end. ‬

‪The hurts in the lives of those you love bring you more pains than the hurts that you think are yours alone.‬

Jesus came to bear your burdens with you and for you. 

‪Forgiveness brings your moral sobriety.‬

‪It is better to force yourself to do right than to allow yourself to do wrong.‬

‪It is better to forgive than to make your loved ones bear your bitterness, with you or for you. ‬

‪Few want others to suffer for their wrongs but they always do.‬

Love changes everything!

‪Hope and faith peals away the grip of doubt, one finger at a time, day after day.  ‬

‪Doubt is your way building resistance to the truth, creating your own stumbling blocks. ‬

‪“Without a doubt” is possible and even necessary to see and thrive in God’s marvelous Grace. ‬

‪Faith is where you trade in “pot luck” for “pot hope”.
‬
‪Without faith there is little hope and without hope there is even less love. ‬
‪Love is the only soil where where every good thing can grow, thrive, and bless. ‬

‪Only love can bury doubt to its deepest depths.‬

Faith moves mountains, doubt creates them, hope see beyond the mountains, doubts blinds you to your own possibilities.

Faith sees your glass as overflowing, doubt see your glass as half empty or half full.

Hope is a heart condition, doubt is a mind condition.

‪No darkness, no matter how deep or where it came from can extinguish the light that Jesus brings to those who believe in Him. ‬

‪Faith comes without darkness, if and only if, we keep our eyes on Jesus. ‬

‪Ordinary light casts a shadow as it turns but the light of God cast no shadow as it turnes...a shadow is a point of inconsistent light;  God has none whatsoever!

‪God’s plans are beyond our understanding. ‬

‪God’s Grace is beyond our hopes.‬

‪God’s love is beyond our comprehension. ‬

‪God’s mercy can never be rationalized.‬

‪Yet all is true, for every Christian...All of the time!‬

May God’s will be your will, then all you do, will be what He wants.

Obedience is better than sacrifice the Bible says, but always not as convenient as we would prefer.

Being a Christian is often more predictable in an humanly unpredictable way.

Be zealous, not just for what you want, but for what you know God has called you to do.

It is far easier to be “Almost persuaded”, as Pontius Pilate
was , than it is to be completely committed.

Easy believism isn’t easy.
