Focus

Beloved–    

Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut,  and you will stay out of trouble.  If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.  (from the Old Testament and the New Testament)

Nobody can read my mind. Only my thoughts expressed out loud could get me into trouble. Such was my philosophy of life yet, my life was always full of turmoil. When I thought I was beyond help I cried out to God and he answered me.  I learned that Jesus personally cared about my everyday problems.  You too, can avoid turmoil by focusing all your thoughts on your creator.

Luv Ya!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Beloved–

Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything. (from the book of 1 John)

There was a time when my thoughts didn’t always prove the words of my mouth.  Once, I thought only actions counted.  Then I learned that negative thoughts as well as actions need to be rejected.  You too, can know that your savior knows everything.

Luv Ya!

The Way

TBeloved–

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (from Romans)

By faith I cried out to God to save me and he did! Why would the Lord God Almighty choose to sacrifice the precious blood of his only beloved son to ransom my corrupted soul. Understanding the character of Almighty God helps me want to choose the narrow way.  You too, can happily choose the narrow way.

Luv Ya!ype / to choose a block

Knowledge

Beloved–

Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding.  Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.  Search for them as you would for silver … Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God.  For the Lord grants wisdom!  From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. (from Proverbs)

My belief that Jesus is the only beloved son of God; that his righteous blood paid my debt sin covering me in his righteousness making me presentable in God’s presents.  You too, can gain knowledge of God.

Luv Ya!

Complacency

Beloved–

Therefore, I will always remind you about these things—even though you already know them and are standing firm in the truth you have been taught. (from the book of Peter)

Almighty God gives me everything I need to lead a godly life.   Knowing the truth of my salvation and yet behaving as if I were a non — believer, always putting our relationship last.  I confess my sin, I’ve become complacent.  My sins are many but God is gracious. You too, can  experience the grace of God.

Luv Ya!

Faith

Beloved–

And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.  (from the book of Peter)

Because of my faith in Jesus and his promise that I have His abiding presence, even unto the end of the world.  I know that he “walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.”  You too, can hear his voice.  

Luv Ya!

try it

Beloved–

So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control.  Through Christ you have come to trust in God.  (from the book of Peter)

God’s word says prepare my mind and exercise self-control.  In my mind I say “yeah right.”  Every theme, concern, desire pops on the screen of my mind.  Then I get on my knees and beg the Holy Spirit to help me to focus my heart.  If you have put your faith in Christ Jesus you too, can call on the Holy Spirit to focus your heart.

Luv Ya!

Hope

Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory. (from the book of 1 Peter)

I will always give the reason for my hope. The Lord God is my Maker, my Master, the lover of my soul, and my Salvation!  You too, can place your faith in him.

Luv Ya!

for You too

Beloved–

So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.  (from the book of Peter)

God’s word says prepare my mind and exercise self-control. —- what I hear is —- don’t just read my Bible, but study the meaning of each sentence and phrase; then I will find discernment and understanding that leads to the knowledge of the Triune God. You too, can have an intimate relationship with God the Father.

Luv Ya!
