“The cross was too violent; it was too costly; it was too serious of a thing for Jesus to come merely for our woundedness. Beloved, He paid a price. He paid a price for a serious debt that we had with God that we could not repay. He made payment for our sins.”

I address this not to offend anyone, but expressing my belief in the mercies of my God....I put this on my ministry page, but have been encouraged by my friends and family to post this on this page also....I believe in God and I am praying that this hurricane go back to the sea and not do the devastating damage that it is predicted it will do...though I do not deny the facts of what is being said, I am just simply praying for a miracle for us all...fear of this storm is causing so may to have extreme anxiety ....may we all stand together and pray and may we all be protected and spared from this massive destruction headed towards our coast....
Shalom my friends and family...Shalom

The month of August and beginning of September has brought us in the USA much hardship...The hurricane in Texas and another one facing Florida has left so many in despair and now upcoming fear and anxiety...I am praying as well as all of you that this current Hurricane will not hit the shores of America...
As I was thinking of this current hurraine, my mind went to our President Trump....he has been criticized, judged and condemned by so many...though I don't agree with all he has done, one thing can not be taken from him...he acknowledges God and made that known by declaring last Sunday a day of pray for the victims of hurricane Harvey in Texas...I believe because of his stand, we will see God move and help all of us in USA as we brace for another devastating storm approaching our shores...may He give us Mercy and Grace and spare us once again....pray for not only us here in the USA, but all those in this hurricane's path...
Jesus is not only our Savior, but our very Best Friend....
SHALOM MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS...

AM YOUR BEST FRIEND, as well as your King. Walk hand in hand with Me through your life. Together we will face whatever each day brings: pleasures, hardships, adventures, disappointments. Nothing is wasted when it is shared with Me. I can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. I can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity. Only a Friend who is also the King of kings could accomplish this divine alchemy. There is no other like Me!

The friendship I offer you is practical and down-to-earth, yet it is saturated with heavenly Glory. Living in My Presence means living in two realms simultaneously: the visible world and unseen, eternal reality. I have equipped you to stay conscious of Me while walking along dusty, earthbound paths.

Jesus always makes new beginnings... TRUST HIM

04/13/2017

TRUSTING ME is a moment-by-moment choice. My people have not always understood this truth. After I performed miracles in the wilderness, My chosen children trusted Me intensely—but only temporarily. Soon the grumbling began again, testing My patience to the utmost.

Isn’t it often the same way with you? You trust Me when things go well, when you see Me working on your behalf. This type of trust flows readily within you, requiring no exertion of your will. When things go wrong, your trust-flow slows down and solidifies. You are forced to choose between trusting Me intentionally or rebelling, resenting My ways with you. This choice constitutes a fork in the road. Stay on the path of Life with Me, enjoying My Presence. Choose to trust Me in all circumstances.

Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert of Shur. For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.) So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” Then Moses cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made a decree and a law for them, and there he tested them. —EXODUS 15:22–25

But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” —PSALM 31:14

IN ME YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. In Me you are complete. Your capacity to experience Me is increasing through My removal of debris and clutter from your heart. As your yearning for Me increases, other desires are gradually lessening. Since I am infinite and abundantly accessible to you, desiring Me above all else is the best way to live.

It is impossible for you to have a need that I cannot meet. After all, I created you and everything that is. The world is still at My beck and call, though it often appears otherwise. Do not be fooled by appearances. Things that are visible are brief and fleeting, while things that are invisible are everlasting.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. —EPHESIANS 3:20–21

Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting. —2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 AMP

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK...

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8
No ‘Buts’ In The Good News
Imagine having a rich uncle who comes up to you one day and says, “I have really good news for you. I know you need a family car badly, so I bought you a really nice one!” Your jaw drops at the good news. But before you can thank him, he says, “It’s all yours...BUT you have to pay me monthly installments of $1,000 for it.”

Suddenly, what started out as “good news” doesn’t turn out to be good news after all. Why? Because it contains a big “BUT!” The “gift” isn’t genuine because it has a condition attached to it.

Sadly, this is how some people understand the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They’ve been told, “Yes, you are saved by God’s grace, BUT from now on, you have to make sure that you come to church, read your Bible, pray, serve, dress holy...to keep your salvation.” Like the car, salvation is not really a free gift—you have to merit it with “installments” of good works.

Beloved, good works are important, but they can’t save you. The only thing that can save you is the blood of Jesus. And when you put your faith in Jesus and His finished work, you were saved for all eternity, with no strings attached because grace is not grace if your works have any part to play in it (Romans 11:6)! That’s why the gospel of God’s grace is truly GOOD NEWS! And it is knowing and believing this that produces godly fruits of faith and righteousness in your life!

Amen

When I read this today, all I could think about was the things that happened to Craig and I from people we loved and trusted and even after his death, the horrible things that were said about him...it literally broke my heart...I felt such an anger towards these individuals and bitterness...but as time went on, I knew I had to let go and forgive as the anger I was feeling was hurting me, not anyone else...as I slowly began to forgive, I felt this hatred and deep heaviness of heart to lift..I began to think that for whatever reason some felt this way about my husband, it was between them and the Lord...maybe some of them felt justified in their feelings and who was I to change their minds...people are people, but God is God and in His timing all things work out..so..I forgave and let go..truly letting go means when you hear a persons name, you can smile and only think of the good they did, not the pain they created....
I started thinking of my beautiful children, my grandchildren and all the new people who came into my life and blessed me..not to mention the faithful few who stood by me and walk thru the valley of darkness with me, shedding light upon my path with words of encouragement, love, and faithfulness to me, even when I did things that truly were wrong...
Now, I am engaged to a wonderful, loving caring man...in a few months we will be married. We are joyful, loving, and embracing life together with Christ....
We are going to a new church this morning..seeking our home church in California...we are renovating his home together, laugh a lot and yes, even get frustrated with each other at times....(we both are set in our ways..lol) but we have both learned thru experience, that life is very short, so forgive, move one and celebrate this new beginning we both were given...I feel younger, happier, and peaceful in ways that I haven't experienced in many years...
So yes, I agree with this devotion, and I thank my Jesus everyday that He forgave me and gave me "another" new beginning...
Love and Forgiveness do work....they are powerful tools ..use them and see what God can only do for you...
SHALOM

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
Forgive As God Has Forgiven You
Once, I met a sprightly Christian lady in her seventies who looked a lot younger than she was. Curious, I decided to find out the secret of her youthfulness. As we talked, I learned that she was someone who was easygoing—this happy-go-blessed lady doesn’t take things to heart when offended and is quick to forgive or let go.

She reminds me of an encouragement that God gives us in His Word: Be tenderhearted and forgiving. My friend, God has your best interests at heart when He tells you to forgive and let go. He wants you to be happy and to live a long, healthy life. Nursing a hurt or anger against someone and having unforgiveness in your heart aren’t worth losing your joy, peace and health over.

Beloved, if you find it difficult to forgive someone, then look to the cross and see how perfectly God has let go every sin you have and will ever commit. Bring Jesus into your bitter situation. When you know how perfectly He loves you and has forgiven you, you’ll be able to forgive that person too. And the more you let go of offences against you, the less the enemy is able to make inroads into your mind, heart and body. Like the lady I mentioned, you’ll live a happier, healthier and longer life, with a lot fewer wrinkles and frown lines!

The Lord...hears the prayer of the righteous.
Proverbs 15:29
God Hears Your Prayers
In her sadness and anguish, a barren woman went to the temple of God to pray. Weeping, she poured out her heart to God. She didn’t pray audibly, moving only her lips as she talked to God about her request for a child.

When the temple’s priest saw the way she prayed, he assumed that she was drunk and promptly admonished her. She had to tell him that she wasn’t drunk, and that in her sorrow she was pouring out her soul to God.

The priest then told her, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him” (1 Samuel 1:17). It wasn’t long after that this woman, Hannah, conceived and bore a son, Samuel. Inaudible or soft as her prayer was, God heard it and fulfilled her wish for a child!

Beloved, it’s not about how long or short, how loudly or softly you pray, but who you pray to that matters. Today, when you pray, be conscious that you have the ear and attention of your heavenly Father, who so loves you and hears your prayers because you are righteous in Christ. And if He loves you enough to give you heaven’s best—Jesus, how will He not with Jesus also freely give you all things (Romans 8:32)?
