Verse of the Day
43-47 “You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love
your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging
that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you,
not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the supple
moves of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your
God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm
and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and
nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do
that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal?
Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.
Love Your Enemies
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor. (Leviticus 19:18) Hate your enemy.’ 44 But here is
what I tell you. Love your enemies. Pray for those who hurt you. 45 Then you will
be children of your Father who is in heaven. He causes his sun to shine on evil
people and good people. He sends rain on those who do right and those who don’t.

Ephesians 2:6
And God raised us up with Christ
and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 14:28-32
“Lord if it’s you,” Peter replied,
“tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked
on the water and came toward Jesus. But
when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sing, cried out, “Lord,
save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out
his hand caught him. “You of little faith”
he said, “why did you doubt?” And when
they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
Isaiah 42:3
A bruised reed will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not
snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring
forth justice.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Reminded this morning God is, was
and forever will be above all things. We
are guaranteed pain and problem in this life.
But we will never have or suffer as Christ did on that cross.
The world is ever changing and so
are those that stand or sit right next to us at any time.
Yet, the peace, mercy and grace of
God is eternal for all who believe and walk-in faith with Him.
Sometimes our days feel like those
mountains we climb always the up-hill battles or down so deep in the ruts we
are paralyzed and cannot get out.
Sometimes the fear within us even when we do not talk about it pours out
in the actions and day to day we go through.
It is not easy to stay focused on
God especially when we do not know who he really is. If we do not know Jesus personally, we can
only say we know of God and that which we read in the history in the bible the
one book that may have many interpretations presented across the world but always
remains the same. John 3:16 (NIRV) 16 God so loved the world that he gave his one and
only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.
Years ago, I would have never
thought I would be writing, talking or even openly discussing any of my spiritual
beliefs with anyone.
When you grow up having to fight
and defend your every day just to survive.
You tend to pick your battles and bury deep not allowing anyone know
what you really feel deep inside.
You wait, you watch, and you do your
best not allowing anyone have any one thing up on you that could cause you more
drama, more pain or more anything.
Allowing others close, means you
have to become vulnerable and when that happens something or someone always finds
a way to chip away pieces. Not always
for their own personal gains. Sometimes
it just is what it is. Others yes, we in
humanity can be very cruel at times and even more selfish at others.
Leaning in and believing we will
not have to work at climbing those mountains is foolish. Anything worth gaining takes work, dedication,
and truth.
Fearing what would of, should of
or could of; robs us of any beauty that is up ahead. Especially when we have that personal relationship
with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Somehow, someway; there truly is beauty in
everything we encounter.
Maybe its that silver lining of
peace that wraps tightly around us no matter what is going on. Maybe it is truly the spirit of Jesus living
within.
I don’t know. I can only tell you only from my own broken
pieces, fears, doubts, let downs at my own hands and choices or just being
collateral damage of others. I cannot
speak about Jesus enough. Even with the inability
to describe or really show you... I
can only tell my story and here I am on the other side of the climb.
No, my journey is not done. Far from it.
The depths of this soul could drown someone. That is a fact. The love and those that have been let in
forever. Well not my plans for
sure.
I may plan things for work, my day
to day, even vacations or trying to make things happen that just do not make
sense.
I can talk about wanting that deep
love from the outside in as I have been filled with from the inside out since
meeting Jesus right where I was; in my own little mess of any day given.
No one can love me or you like Jesus
does. I cannot explain it, and once
you have found that place yourself there is so much different when it comes to loving
anyone else in the world that you may or may not have the chance to just wrap
your arms around.
Somehow, some way we see things so
differently in everything and when you really understand who our creator is and
His son Jesus Christ you see Him and the beauty in everything.
God is for us and we are not
forgotten. No matter what is or is
not.
When we have tried everything else
give Jesus all you are and get up every day or every night; make him here and
call upon him and dive in to know who the Son of all Creation really is and who
we are to them!
My thoughts, pieces of me over
time. All that pours out of this mind
maze at any given time. I am thankful. For today and all my yesterdays.
Thankful even if I in the end am
wrong. I am without a doubt, pure in
heart, pure intentions with clean hands and abundant moral value, breathing
deep each step I climb or forge forward just trying to be.
No one needs to understand my
value. Only their own and for that no
one should ever waste a single second; not meeting Jesus for themselves.
Not through churches or crowds or
bands or national championships and what the world can so called do for
you. But meet Jesus right where you
are each and every day you are allowed back up.
