HOPE

 

Hope in life

Hope in death

Hope in anything

Hope in everything

Hope when there

Isn’t even any

 

Hope is believing

In what can’t be seen

Hope is hoping

When it’s impossible to believe

 

Hope is

Hoping that there will be a miracle

Hope is hoping

In what can’t be seen

 

Hope is believing in God

Hope is knowing that he is there

 

Sometimes

Hope is all we have

 

Sometimes

Hope is all we need

 

HOPE

Ps        “Why are you downcast-oh my soul

             Why so disturbed within me

              Put your HOPE in God

              For I will yet praise him

              My Savior and my God”                                                       Psalm 42:11

 

            “Command those who are rich in the present world

              Not to be arrogant

              Nor to put their HOPE in the world

              Which is so uncertain

              But to put their HOPE in God”                                                1 Timothy 6:17

 

            “And HOPE does not disappoint us

              Because God has poured out his love

              Into our hearts by the Holy Spirit

              Whom he has given us”                                                        Romans 5:5

  

 

 

AND HE GAVE US=HIS BODY TOO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

AND HE GAVE US=HIS BODY TOO!

 

JESUS GAVE US=Everything he had=He gave us HIS MIRACLES=His cures=

His parables and HIS=PRAYERS and Words=And then =WHEN he could not GIVE

US anything else=He gave us=HIS BODY TOO!=His BODY=His soul=for the

SALVATION=of us all!=HE GAVE US=HIS BODY TOO!

“Do NOT be afraid=Of those=Who kill THE  BODY=But cannot kill the soul=Rather

Be afraid of the ONE==who can destroy BOTH soul and BODY in hell”                                Matthew 10:28

 

The PEOPLE of his day=who hated Jesus=did Destroy his BODY=but they  could

NOT destroy his soul=For HE and the FATHER=WERE ONE!=and he RESURRECTED with

A new BODY=For he GAVE US=His body too=for ALL MANKIND!=Say YES to the

MAN-GOD==for you and me=for our SALVATION=They took his body=But they

COULD NOT=Take his soul=”While they were eating=Jesus took bread=and when he

Had GIVEN THANKS=He broke it=and gave it to his disciples=saying=’Take and eat=

THIS IS MY BODY’”                                                                                                                                      Matthew 26:26

“After all=No one=Ever hated=THEIR OWN BODY=But they feed and Care=for their BODY=

Just as Christ does the CHURCH=--------For we are Members of HIS BODY”           Ephesians 5:29-30

 

That is RIGHT=My dear brothers and sisters=If you BELIEVE in Jesus= and HIS HOLY FATHER

God=Believe  Jesus gave=His BODY for you=To form ONE Church=One church OF LOVE=

So GIVE YOUR LIFE=or at least PART of your life=Back to Jesus and the FATHER!=For he

Gave us=HIS BODY TOO!=To Form a CHURCH=To BUILD a world=Out of LOVE=”On the night=

He was BETRAYED=He took bread=and WHEN he had=given THANKS=He broke it and

Said=’This is my BODY=Which is for you=DO this in REMEMBRANCE

Of me’”                                                                                                                                                       1 Corinthians:23-24

 

That is right=MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS=Jesus ONLY had one body=the SAME as you

And I=and He gave it up=FOR US!=AND HE GAVE US=HIS BODY TOO!

 

IN the name of the SON=Jesus Christ=and his FOREVER LOVING=His forever Living=FOREVER

ONE= Jesus and Our Holy Father God!

HEAVEN=WHERE THERE IS ONLY LOVE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 27^th, 2012

 

 

HEAVEN-WHERE THERE IS ONLY LOVE

 

 

I have lived for love

But I haven’t seen

A lot of it in this world

Someday I hope

To live in Heaven

 

Live in Heaven

Where there is only love

 

I’ve seen lies

I’ve seen gossip

I’ve seen so much misfortune I can’t believe it

 

I want to

Live in Heaven

Where there is only love

 

I watch the evening news

I see stories of rape and murder

I see stories of child abuse

Sometimes I see so much of it

I can’t stand it anymore

 

Someday-I want to live in Heaven

Someday-I want to live

Where there is only love

 

Someday

I hope to live in Heaven

Someday

I want to live

Where there is only love

 

Someday

I want to live

Where there is only love

 

Where there is only love

               “But store up for yourselves treasures in HEAVEN

SOME things I KNOW=Money doesn’t last=Possessions DON’T LAST=The ONLY

Thing that LASTS FOREVER=IS LOVE!=The LOVE of God and=The love of OTHERS!=

They are THE BURIED TREASURES in life=The Love and THE WORD OF GOD!

 

And in the 13^th Chapter of Saint Matthew’s gospel=Jesus tells us About the=KINGDOM

Of Heaven=and BURIED TREASURES=Look for THE ETERNAL TREASURES of life=

The love of God=and THE LOVE of Others!

“The Kingdom of HEAVEN=is like a TREASURE=BURIED in a field=Which a person finds=

And hides again=and out of JOY=Goes and sells all that he has=and buys

That field”                                                                                                                                                        Matthew 13:44

“He will be the=Sure foundation=For your times=a rich store of salvation=and Wisdom

And knowledge=The fear of the Lord=is the Key=To this TREASURE”                            Isaiah 33:6

Which GUIDES us to=the FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION=Of our lives=For God’s Kingdom=

What is =THE ETERNAL TREASURES of your life?=Look for THE LOVE of God=and the

LOVE OF FAMILY and Others=above all else

 

 

What are we=WILLING TO DO=To love God and=To love all others?=To Obtain the

ETERNAL TREASURES=of our God=How WILLING are we=To make the LOVE of=The

Holy Father God and Jesus=Number ONE in our lives?=VALUE God=Value family and FRIENDS

In your life!=Do you WANT to LIVE ETERNALLY=with Our God and His SON?

“You make known to me=The PATHS of life=You fill me=With JOY=In your presence=With

ETERNAL PLEASURES at your right hand”                                                                                Psalm 16:11

Your Word Lord=IS ETERNAL=It stands firm=in the heavens”                                                Psalm 119:89

Looking for=THE ETERNAL TREASURES in LIFE!=and finding them by=LOVING the LORD

Our God and=His Son=and by LOVING all others!

 

And so my friends=MY SISTERS and MY BROTHERS=Take a LOOK at your life=and Your

Personal schedule=And ask yourself=HOW IMPORTANT is the Holy Father God=and Jesus

In your life?=How much TIME=are you willing to GIVE=In LOVING GOD and in LOVING OTHERS?

I suggest=That IF you are doing this=LOVING GOD=and LOVING OTHERS=You are NOT=all that

Far=From the KINGDOM OF GOD!=and finding ETERNAL TREASURES=In your life!

“For Where=YOUR TREASURE IS=There your Heart will be also”                                            Matthew 6:21

“But Mary TREASURED UP=all these things =and Pondered them in her heart”              Luke 2:19

My dear friends=LOOK for the ETERNAL TREASURES=In this life=and FIND THEM=By LOVING

The Father=The Son Jesus=Your FAMILY=and loving ALL OTHERS=If you do this=You  May just

Have found=THE KINGDOM OF GOD=Living right INSIDE of you=LOVE THE HOLY FATHER GOD=

And the Son Jesus=as well as others=And you have FOUND the ETERNAL TREASURES OF LIFE!

THE EYES OF OUR SOUL

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 26^th, 2012

 

 

THE EYES OF OUR SOUL

 

 

They say

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

But the beauty

I am looking for

Is the eye of your soul

I hope

You can see beauty

In the eye of my soul too

 

The eye of your soul

Is what I am looking for

The eye of my soul

Is what

I hope you are looking for too

Real beauty

Is in the eyes of our soul

 

Eyes of our soul

Please tell us who we are

Eyes of our soul

Please tell us

Where we’ve been

And what now to do

 

Show us the way

Eyes of our soul

We are depending on you

Ps            “Hear-oh Israel-The Lord our God-The Lord is one

GUIDED TO LOVE UNIVERSALLY=AND INCLUSIVELY

 

GUIDED TO LOVE UNIVERSALLY AND INCLUSIVELY

I wonder

What percentage of people

Really have a handle

On morality and ethics

In today's world

I wonder what percentage

Of people

Can actually live

With a CLEAR CONSCIENCE

Based on the evening news

And based on

Some of the stories I have heard

I have a hunch

That it is

NOT REAL HIGH

“I speak the truth in Christ-

I do not lie-

My conscience

JOINS with the HOLY SPIRIT........”                               Romans 9:1

We really have 

To LIVE in tune with God

We really 

Have to be guided

By the Holy Spirit

To have a clear conscience

“So I strive ALWAYS

To keep my conscience clear

Before God and man”                                                         Acts 24:16

What a noble thought

Paul writes with

And yet so very difficult

To do

I too

ALWAYS strive to do this

And it can only be done

IF we are guided by the Holy Spirit

And if we

Always try to be righteous

Under God

And in our dealings with our neighbors

This can only be done

If we are ROOTED

In union with God

“How good and pleasant

It is

WHEN God's people

Live together in UNITY”                                                     Psalm 133:1

“Make every effort

To KEEP the unity

Of the spirit

Through the bond of peace

There is one body

And one Spirit

Just as you were called

To ONE HOPE

When you were called

ONE Lord-one faith-one baptism-

One God and Father of ALL

Who is over all

And through all-and in all”                                                          Ephesians 4:3-5

WE PROCLAIM a universal 

And inclusive church

Yet many of us only associate

With those that are like us

People we understand 

And like

We may not like

Some people

We may not like

Some of their actions

And yet

We are ALL part of the church

ONE church-one God-and one FATHER

Like my mom used to tell me:

LOVE draws a circle

And pulls people in

And hate draws a circle

And pushes people out

WE are at least

TO ATTEMPT to pull

All people within the circle

The SPIRIT asks

Each one of us that

To attempt to LOVE

UNIVERSALLY AND INCLUSIVELY

Dear Lord-we pray

HELP US to be there for all

In Jesus' name
