From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”-Matthew 4:17
For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. -2 Corinthians 6:2
The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. –2 Peter 3:9
When we honestly and earnestly turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and surrender our lives to him we become children of God forever led and protected by his love, grace and spirit. God leads us into the paths of righteousness. The Lord knows that we are unable…
But you, O Lord, are a God of compassion and mercy, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. –Psalms 86:15
For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” –Zephaniah 3:17
God’s love is beyond our comprehension.
He loves us more than anyone else could ever imagine, and he loves our loved ones more than we would ever be capable. This kind of love is outstanding and unsurpassed.
A lot of us may believe that God doesn’t love or care about us, and that he is distant from us through certain seasons of life.
However, we are instructed to walk by faith. We are to depend on the word of God…
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. -Matthew 6:19-21
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. -Matthew 7:13-14
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. -Matthew 7:21
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. -John 14:16
Put God first. Pray, talk to God constantly. Read bible scripture and devotionals daily. Remember that Jesus lives within us and that we are comforted and guided by his Holy Spirit. –latoya lawrence
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. –Romans 15:13
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. -! Corinthians 6:19-20
Supervisors will bait employees with large sums of money just to advance themselves without any consideration for their fellow laborer’s welfare.
Regardless, there are people who will do anything for money.
About two months ago now, there was a text message that went out at a place of work for caregivers.
I didn’t believe my eyes when I saw the text advertise four-hundred dollars a day for a Caregiver case.
The message didn’t sound right to me. For all the years I worked in health care I never saw a case offered for four-hundred dollars a day.
I contemplated on the text, rationalizing what could be up. The only explanation I quickly came up with was the case had to be a Covid-19 positive client.
A while later, another text was sent out acknowledging that the case in need was indeed for someone who was Covid-19 positive.
The agency did not initially mention that vital information. They began to take loads of virus infected people, informing caregivers of PPE gear located at the homes of these clients for them to utilize.
No employee was obligated to accept any of the Covid-19 cases against their will. It was a free choice to any caregiver who worked for the agency.
One employee told me a supervisor sent her along with another coworker on a case at a hospital yet didn’t inform them ahead of time that the patient/client was positive for Covid-19.
I understand these people who have the virus need medical attention and have to be treated but it is the supervisor’s responsibility to inform their laborers in this particular life-threatening situation.
People have to be extra careful and look out for themselves because when money is involved unscrupulous professionals as well as ordinary individuals will generally put one at risk within a heartbeat.
I use to hear people say not to trust anybody. A lot of the time those words are true.
However, the ones who make that statement are the ones we actually cannot trust sometimes!
It is very important to be cautious. We don’t have to be suspicious of everyone who crosses our path, but we should actively stay alert.
So many individuals are phony, deceitful and out for themselves that other people sometimes doubt legitimate people until they get to know them better.
I was always able to sense things about people that other people couldn’t sense through the natural gift of discernment. I didn’t always let people know what I picked up about them, though, I was very well aware.
Insight is a beneficial faculty to have. It can save one’s life. Some individuals will appreciate one’s knowledge while others may resent them for it.
The Power Of The Lord Burns Strong For His Children
The pursuit is real. There is nothing one can do to stop it. When God comes to confront you be prepared to be swept away! Nothing can keep us from him. God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. He knows all. He knows when he will return us back to himself ahead of time. -latoya lawrence
To give a brief summary to make a point, I went through a lot as a child. I had a lot of good times in the process also, blessed in ways that inspired plenty of envy and jealously toward my mother and I. Which spurred up more discontentment from resentful neighbors and others whom we came into contact with who continuously witnessed our advantages.
I didn’t understand what motivated these people to act out and react at that exact time period during my early youth but my mother knew why. I grasped the depth of it as I had gotten older. I never imagined people could be so ill. I knew I had never liked them, knowing there was something off about them. The envy and jealousy lasted way up into my adulthood, taking on an even uglier turn.
When I entered my teenage years and realized favor was and had always been upon me from God, I hoped for unsavory things to never again appear the way it had before. Then certain events did happen again. I was pretty ticked off at God about it too. Furious about the people, the circumstances they caused, and God for having allowed the incidents to happen.
When life gets really taxing and does not go as planned or expected we get very upset because we are human. We feel this way because we think the Lord owes us something, I did. I believed he owed me because I hadn’t asked to be born into the world. So, I felt if he wanted me here so badly then make it worth my while. I didn’t appreciate all the trials and tribulations, especially as a young child- there were certain traumas even though I was strong and overcame them- it was the principal of the matter to me.
God can dish out to us so many wonderful big and small every day blessings that we ultimately love and enjoy. Still, we become annoyed, resentful, and distant the instant he permits something within our life that we didn’t appreciate or ask for. This reaction usually stems from our sense of unjust treatment from the bad experiences.
When I look back now, I see how much the Lord took care of me. He blessed me richly in far too many ways to count. I was very fortunate in spite of particular situations that came and went. God is really good and excellent regardless of what our minds are sometimes limited to comprehend about him.
When I stepped away from God out of frustration- he still protected and provided for me the whole time and kept my feet on solid ground. His holy spirit remained and maintained a work in me. My flesh was full of hatred but my spirit was full of peace and joy. I believed that peace and joy was from another source out of my wishful thinking.
Nevertheless, the Lord in his patience gave me my space, waiting for the exact day he would put my animosity to an end and wake me up from my nonsense to realize his extreme love and compassion for me.
God readily embraced me, eagerly forgave me, and now he celebrates me and my return with a stronger bond of love and devotion between us than ever before. I went back to the Lord immediately when I was faced by him. I was able to do this without a problem because of the trust that developed over the years when I experienced his incredible accounts of faithfulness.
Don’t get me wrong now, God is full of grace and mercy, nonetheless, he will correct us when necessary but it is not a punishment the act is done purely out of his precious love and care for us.
God is completely dependable and true, and I am on fire for him!
There are friends who stick closer than certain family members. Though there is no other who will stick by us more than Jesus.
Isn’t it wonderful to have people around you who genuinely do have your best interest in mind?
I’ve been very lucky to have and to have come into contact with a small group of loving people who I can trust and who I can depend on if ever in need even if just to talk about something. I’ve never been the type to bother anyone or to ask anyone for anything, however it is nice to know that I can go to these people if the moment calls for it.
A few of the people I have known since I was a baby and the others I met not too long ago.
Not everyone can truly call someone a friend, let alone a lot of the people they may hang around. Fortunately, I never hung around many to have called or considered them real friends. I referred to people who I made acquaintance with in the past associates.
I am thankful and grateful to God that he surrounded me with a very small amount of handpicked people who are not of the world who are genuine than a large random pile of people who are of the world and not sincere.
Thank you so much, Jesus!
A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. -Proverbs 17:17
