ONLY GOD’S WORD=AND HIS LOVE=

LAST FOREVER

 

We ALL=Want things IN LIFE=Cars=houses=boats= Material objects=Clothes

THE CLOSE LOVE=that we Build in a FRIEND for a friend=Everything  else is TRANSITORY=

What will LAST?=Only the LOVE OF GOD!=Only the WORD OF GOD!=They live

Forever=”Do not work=For food that spoils=But for food that ENDURES=To eternal life=

WHEN we BUILD  our lives=On what the world offers us=Like materialism=Like sexuality=

Like scientific miracles=Or drugs=alcohol=Etc., etc., etc.,= We will have a MEANINGLESS LIFE=

We NEED=to build our life=ON  GOD’S LOVE=On Jesus’ love=On the WORD OF GOD=On Family=

Only those things=NEVER PASS AWAY=Only in these things=CAN we FIND a life=That goes on=

FOREVER AND EVER=and has IMPORTANCE!

WHAT do you know=That LASTS FOREVER?=ONLY the GOD OF LOVE=Maybe the love OF FAMILY=

In our hearts=and the LOVE OF CLOSE FRIENDS=Based on=THE WORD OF GOD AND LIFE!

 

And so  my sisters and  My brothers=HOW will you LIVE your life today?=WILL you BUILD=

On materialism?=On sexuality?=On scientific miracles?=Or maybe drugs=or alcohol=or

Pornography?=IF you are=You are building=A MEANINGLESS=A  TRANSITORY=a  life that is=

GOING NOWHERE!=ONLY GOD’S WORD=ONLY GOD’S LOVE=LASTS FOREVER!=and makes for=

AN IMPORTANT LIFE!

That will NOT LAST=But we do it=To get a crown=That WILL LAST FOREVER”   1 Corinthians 9:25

A STEP AWAY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APRIL 22^nd, 2012

 

A STEP AWAY

 

 

 

We’re just a step away from another chance

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

 

We’ve been patiently awaiting another chance

But we never really thought that it would come

It’s surprising what patience can do

And what it adds up to in the final sum

 

We’ve been knocked down again and again

Never thought that we could get back up

Thought it was the end

But somehow we stuck it out

And we are on the mend

 

We’re just a step away from another chance

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

 

We’ve been dreaming of the challenge

And dreaming of the fight

Just waiting for another chance

And keeping our goals and dreams in sight

We want to come all the way back

In every walk of life

And keep going on and on

Like we were never gone

 

And……..-

We’re just a step away

Another step away

We just need one lucky break

And we’ll be on our way

 

We’re just one more step away

DON’T FORGET TO LAUGH

 

Last week was a tough week for me/for many of us

 

So it got me to thinking

Does GOD have a sense of humor

 

The answer that I came up with is

He made ME ( us )=didn’t he

 

 

LOL=with grateful appreciation FOR YOU

 

 

Ecclesiastes 3   =   A TIME FOR EVERYTHING

 

 

There is a time for everything

And a season for everything

Under Heaven:

 

A time to weep and a time to laugh

 

 

 

A friend of my Father’s

Used to tell him

 

“When they made you Bob

They broke the mold

And beat the hell

Out of the mold maker”

 

 

Always remember

You are a Child of God

Born with a purpose

Living for a purpose

And that you have a job in this world

That no one else in this world can do

Only you

 

And when GOD made you

He saved the mold for ALL of eternity

 

We are all on a journey

But don’t forget

To have fun---AND LAUGH ALONG THE WAY

IT IS I!

 

 

 

 

IT IS I!

 

Today we read about=
THE DISCIPLES of Jesus=BEING AFRAID

And Jesus

Coming to their RESCUE!

 

HOW OFTEN=

Do we become AFRAID=ONLY

To have Jesus come=and sooth our fears?

 

Jesus told the apostles=

“IT IS I!”=when they were afraid=

And he tells us=THE SAME THING

When we are CHOKING

On our real life STRUGGLES=

Our health fears=our financial fears

And our relationship fears=

“IT IS I!”

 

“WHEN it was evening=

The disciples of Jesus=WENT

Down to the sea=embarked in a boat…….

Jesus had NOT YET=come to them

 

The sea was stirred up=

Because a strong wind=was blowing

 

When they had rowed=about

Three or four miles=they saw Jesus

WALKING on the sea…….and

They began=TO BE AFRAID

But he said to them=

‘IT IS I=do not be afraid’”                                                                                                 John 6:16-20

 

Think of YOUR STRUGGLES

Through your life=FEAR

Can do strange things=TO OUR psyches

 

But think about=your past STRUGGLES

And how Jesus=CAME OUT OF NOWHERE

To save you==to save me

How COMFORTABLE it is to hear

“IT IS I!”

From our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ=Coming to RESCUE us

COMING TO SVE US!

 

“IT IS I=proclaiming victory=

Mighty to SAVE”                                                                                                          Isaiah 63:1

 

“She will give=birth

To a son=and you are

To give him=the name Jesus

Because he WILL SAVE his people

From their sins”                                                                                                                    Matthew 1:21

 

“Remember this=

Whoever turns a sinner

From the error=of their way

WILL SAVE them=

From death=and cover over

A multitude of sins”                                                                                                               James 5:20

How is it that we are supposed to life in a moral country and we are spending billions

And billions of dollars on the stripping, and pornographic industries?

AMAZING GRACE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April 17^th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

AMAZING GRACE

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing grace

In my heart

Amazing grace

In my soul

I need a little

Maybe a lot

Of God’s amazing grace

To make me feel whole

 

They say

It’s in the valleys

That we find out

How small we are

 

Sometimes I feel so low

In the valley

That I actually feel miniscule

 

Amazing grace

In my heart

Amazing grace

In my soul

I need a little

Of God’s amazing grace

To get me

Through the valley

To help me

Feel whole

 

I need

A little of God’s amazing grace

Maybe a lot

To fill my soul

“Therefore since we have been

Justified through faith

We have peace with God

Through our Lord Jesus Christ,

 

Through whom we have gained access

By faith

Into this GRACE

Which we now stand”                                          Romans 5:1 & 2

 

Grace is defined

As the undeserved love and salvation

God gives to us

 

The story of the prodigal son—Luke 15:11-31

Is a great example of how God will treat us

When we decide to return home to him

 

 

I'LL CARRY THE PROMISE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APRIL 16^th, 2012

 

 

 

 

 

I’LL CARRY THE PROMISE

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll carry the promise of hope

I’ll carry the promise of love

I’ll carry the promise

Of up above

 

I’ll carry the promise of life

I’ll carry the promise of love

I’ll carry the promise

Of up above

 

I wear the medal

Of seven operations

I wear the medal

Of a lifetime of chronic illness

 

I wear the stigma of a bankruptcy

I wear the cross of many failed relationships

I wear the cross of love

 

I wear the cross of botched medical care

I wear the cross

Of when nothing and no one

Seemed to want to share

I wear the cross of love

 

I wear the cross

Of a lifetime of problems

I could do nothing about

I wear the cross of love

 

But most of all

I haven’t given up

So I carry the cross of hope

So I carry the cross of love

So I carry the cross

Of up above

 

I carry the cross

Of falling down

Over and over and over again

I carry the cross

Of not knowing when to say “WHEN”

 

So I decided

To carry the promise of love

I decided to carry the cross of hope

And to carry

The promise of God up above

 

The promise of God who says:

“My son I will never forsake you”

 

So I carry

THE CROSS OF LOVE

Ps        “If anyone would come after me

             He must deny himself and take up his cross

             And come follow me

 

             For whoever wants to save his life

             Will lose it

             But whoever loses his life for me

             And the gospel will save it”                                        Mark 8:34-35

 

 

 

CAN YOU SEE THE LOVE=IT IS JESUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAN YOU SEE THE LOVE?=

It is JESUS!

 

AFTER Jesus died=The Disciples did NOT KNOW=what to do=So Peter says

He is GOING FISHING=Thinking he was GETTING BACK to what he knew=and it

WOULD Give him TIME=To think about the last week=and PROCESS THOSE EVENTS=

Some one of the Disciples went with him=and ONE of them was JOHN=(“THE DISCIPLE whom

Jesus LOVED”)!

 

There was a man=STANDING on the seashore=But the disciples=did not RECOGNIZE HIM=After a night=OF CATCHING NOTHING=They are FRUSTRATED and heading for home=That man=Jesus=

Says=”GIVE IT one more try”=John RECOGNIZES him and says=”IT IS THE LORD”           John 21:7

Jesus tells them to GIVE it one more try=and they WIND up Catching more fish=Than they

CAN put in the boat=They CANNOT believe it!=CAN YOU SEE THE LOVE?=IT IS JESUS!

 

And ISN’T THAT the way=It is IN LIFE=for all of us=at TIMES?=WHEN we are CONFRONTED with health problems=With financial pressures=Or have RELATIONSHIP ISSUES?=Could we NOT=

ALL use a friend like John?=Pointing the WAY=to our God=to our Jesus?=A friend telling us=

“KEEP THE FAITH=It is THE LORD=and  HE HAS THIS!”=CAN YOU=Feel the LOVE of our Jesus?=

WE all NEED a FRIEND=Like the Apostle John=WE all need OUR Lord!=to get by

“And whoever=Does NOT carry their cross=and FOLLOW ME=Cannot be my DISCIPLE”   Luke 14:23

“To the Jews =who had believed him=’=Jesus said=’If you hold to my teaching=You are really

MY DISCIPLES=Then you will know the truth=and the TRUTH=will set you free’”          John 8:31-32

“So for a whole year=Barnabas and Saul=Met with the Church=and taught great numbers of=

People=THE DISCIPLES were fist called Christians at Antioch”                                                     Acts 11:26

 

And so Peter=MISSED the Lord=But John=POINTED out Jesus to him=We all NEED SOMEONE=

To FILL the ROLE of John in our life=For at TIMES=during our life=We all TURN AWAY  from our Lord=

We all get LOST=and we NEED to feel the HAND OF our Lord=In our lives=CAN YOU SEE=

The LOVE between Peter and John?=Between them and the other APOSTLES=and between=

Jesus and all of them=ALL OF US?=IT IS JESUS!

 

 

Dear Lord=WE PRAY=Help us to be=ON THE LOOKOUT for you=In our lives=and HELP us to=

FIND YOUR PRESENCE=When you are there=and POINT OUT to others=WHEN we FIND you Jesus=

In our lives

“But if from there=You seek The LORD your God=You will FIND HIM=if you Seek him with=All

Your heart=and with all your soul”                                                                                               Deuteronomy 4:29

“Do not those=Who plot evil=Go astray?=But those who plan=What is good=FIND Love

And faithfulness”                                                                                                                                  Proverbs 14:22

“This is what the Lord says’=’Stand at the  crossroads and look=Ask for the ancient paths=

And you WILL FIND REST=for your souls=……..’”                                                                     Jeremiah 6:16

Dear LORD=we pray that=When we ARE LOST=In our everyday lives=and CANNOT FIND YOU=

We have  SOMEONE who we love=To POINT you out to us=Just like John did for Peter=and

THE OTHER APOSTLES=and we OPEN our eyes=and FIND you there=IN THE PRESENCE=Of

Our lives=and RECOGNIZE YOU!=Can you SEE THE LOVE?=IT IS JESUS!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever loving=OUR EVER LIVING=GOD of us all=The

HOLY FATHER GOD!

Lost and confused

Who I always turn to

For advice

Who else

Always got it right

YOU’RE NOBODY

UNTIL SOMEBODY LOVES YOU

 

 

The great Dean Martin

Had a song

“You’re Nobody

Until Somebody Loves You”

 

Well I have

Some news for you

 

God loves you

Every ounce of your being

 

Jesus Christ loves you

He lived a life

Full of LOVE for you

He died a humiliating death

For you

 

He didn’t do it

For just Catholics

He didn’t do it

For just Christians

He did it

For ALL people everywhere

 

You’re nobody

Until somebody loves you

 

You are somebody

GOD LOVES YOU

 

“I have loved you

With an everlasting love

I have drawn you

With loving kindness”                                                                 Jeremiah 31:1-3

 

You struggle with health problems

You have financial problems

You are rejected in some

Important relationships

 

You don’t feel loved

 

You’re nobody

Until somebody loves you

 

You are SOMEBODY

GOD LOVES YOU

Jesus Christ loves you

He is your friend

 

“A friend loves at ALL times

And a brother is born in adversity”                                              Proverbs 17:17

 

So HOW GREAT is it that

We have a GOD

A God

Who loves us at ALL times

 

Our great great times

Our good times

Our NOT so good times

And the times

When we feel like a complete failure

 

YOU ARE SOMEBODY

GOD LOVES YOU
