Great is your reward in heaven!

To anticipate the days events one must be prepared. How do you prepare for your day? Well you take it to the Lord and pray. Ask God to give you the guidance you need, put on the armour and proceed.
 When you go about the day remember what the Jesus said

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.  Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."

Matthew 5:3-12

The New International Version 

Keep Jesus centre of your life!

Monday!

Today begins

We wait

Today ends

We anticipate

Monday's here

Like we care

Friday so far

We just stare

The blues you feel

From a weekend bliss

Anticipate what may come

Tuesday a little better

Hump Day Or whatever

Thursday and then

Friday We start all over again

The weekly cycle may come and go

But who do you live for does anyone know

Speak out Shout out loud

What Jesus has done for you

Don't hide it under a shroud.

God Bless

Hypocrisy Versus Life

Hypocrisy Versus Life

Ye call Me master and obey Me not;
Ye call Me Light and see Me not;
Ye call Me Way and walk not;
Ye call Me Life and desire Me not;
Ye call Me Wise and follow Me not;
Ye call Me Fair and love Me not;
Ye call Me Rich and ask Me not;
Ye call Me Eternal and seek Me not;
Ye call Me Gracious and trust Me not;
Ye call Me Mighty and honor Me not;
Ye call Me Just and fear Me not;
If I condemn you blame Me not!

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1 The English Standard Version 

How many times in your daily activities have you had a bad experience that made you angry?

Think about this...do you get angry when you drive?

How about whe you are shopping and you have a grumpy clerk?

Or you phone a Customer Serivce Rep to find out something and all you get is the run around?

If you find yourself in any situation that you want to get angry try the soft answer route. It works and you will feel so much better...

God Bless your day!

The Gift

How many of us like to receive a gift?
I know I do. At that moment you get the gift nothing else matters and you feel like the most important person around.
You open the gift to find the surprise in that gift.

You know there is One who wants to give you a gift. This gift is free of charge, this gift will change your life for ever.
You know that feeling you get the anticipation you have just as you open a gift?
You can have the feeling every day when you receive this gift I am talking about.

This gift is the gift of Eternal Life. In the Bible it says "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

So you see God has given us a Gift in Jesus. You accept Him and make Him Lord of your life. How do you do this you may ask.

	1.	Admit your spiritual need, "I am a sinner."
	2.	Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross to take away your sins.
	3.	Repent. In other words, be willing to turn from your sin.
	4.	Receive, through prayer, Jesus Christ into your heart and life. Pray:

Dear Lord Jesus,

I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my personal Lord and Savior.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

...from everlasting to everlasting, You are God!

Before the mountains were born

Or You gave birth to the earth and the world,
Even from everlasting to everlasting,

You are God.

Psalm 90:2

Giving God the glory for everyday "stuff" is what we need to do.

I often here things like "where has time gone?" or "Wow time has just flew by"

Well if you think about it time is constant.

We are the ones who are always in a state of change and transformation.

Take the seasons, people say that the summer has flew by, but if you think about it

the summer has been the same this year as last year, in length of time

In all the time that "flies by" we need to keep our hearts in tune with what

God wants for us.

He wants us to serve Him

He wants us to worship Jesus, our everlasting King

Psalm 48:1

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

Remember through your day to Praise Him!!

God Bless

We can go through a day and ask this question.

Guess Who Loves You?

Do you know who loves you? Do you wonder from time to time who would be the one to stand up and say "I LOVE YOU"?
There is one in this life that differs from everyone else, yes you may have that special someone who would say he/she loves you, but in this day and age there seems to be no real love. What I mean is that the word Love is used to freely without knowing what the true meaning is.

In this world when you see one person falling in love with someone today...just Wait until they change their mind or heart and fall "out of love" with that person and "in love" with someone else. We can't seem to make up our minds.

I will forever Love my wife Lorie. I have made a commitment to her on our Wedding day. I will never change that.

But no matter how much you see love in this world there is one who has a greater love to share.

1 Timothy 1:14

¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. New American Standard Bible (NASB)
We have a love in Jesus that is never ending.
Keep Jesus near and love Him. He Loves you and He died for you

God Bless

Are You Truly Blessed

When all things considered are you truly blessed?
When you think of all that is going on in the world, all the places where there has been devastation, or war, or bombings, of famine. You live in Canada the richest nation on this earth.

So when you get down and out think of these place that perhaps now have nothing. YOU are blessed!!
Consider being generous like some hero's in life.

Charity begins today. Today somebody is suffering, today somebody is in the street, today somebody is hungry. Our work is for today, yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today.Mother Teresa

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life, will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?" Matthew 16:24-26 The English Standard Version

Keep Jesus first and Centre.
