“If you love me, obey my commandments . . .  But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.  (from The Gospels)

To be able to forgive unconditionally is one of life’s most difficult lessons.  I have learned that my refusal to forgive only causes me sorrow. Unconditional forgiveness brings freedom and joy to my soul when I focus my life on my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray for you to desire to be forgiving; always praising the God who is … Father, Son and Holy Spirit! 

Luv Ya!

But I say, love your enemies!  Pray for those who persecute you!   “Love your enemies! Do good to them . . .  Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked . . .  “If you love me, obey my commandments . . .  But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.  (from The Gospels)

To love my enemies means I have to willingly forgive their meanness toward me.  I have learned that when I refuse to forgive, it causes me sorrow; when I truly forgive my sorrow disappears.  I pray for you to have a forgiving heart, praising the Most High who has forgiven you.

Luv Ya!

Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.

For me, learning the lesson to “cast all my cares upon the Lord” to be my first thought has been difficult.  My first instinct is … grumble why me or I don’t need advice, I can fix this … forgetting who is in charge!  The blessing is the Lord is infinitely patient.  I pray for you to desire to recognize the Lord’s patience for you.  Praise our Triune God!

Luv Ya!
