We are HIS Passion!

Little children know how to “Love” sincerely and in truth! 

My Great-Niece and Nephew. She had just finished a Gymnastic Tournament and her little brother could not contain himself. He beat us to her to give her the biggest hug! A Kodak moment for sure!
We misuse the word “Love” as a figure of speech to express how much we like a thing. We say things like, “Oh, I love that shirt”, or “I love your house!  The definition of love in the Hebrew language is “Ahava", which means - “to give” (free.messianicbible.com). 
We are raised in this world to take. As I write this, I do chuckle a little, because I have heard this more than I want to hear people say, "I'm going to get mine"; in which, I'm not for sure what "mine" is, but it could be a number of things. You very seldom hear, "Oh this coat is on sale, I don't need it, but someone in our family or neighborhood will need this size eventually." Or These chickens are on sale, I should probably get some extra just in case somebody I don't know will be in need of food this month."

 I heard it from my elders as a child, but do not hear it as much today. To give of ourselves, our time and attention without demanding anything in return is how we should live on earth-daily. Our world would be a different place if more would live with a loving heart that is giving and serving others! Because when someone gives of the heart, it is heartfelt and people do appreciate it and will remember your act of kindness - in which they will live a life of kindness from your example. 

 It is not in us to love wholeheartedly, unless we allow God in our hearts, even through life’s hardships. We fail more than we succeed; because of our rejection, not of our willingness and acceptance to His Grace and Mercy that heals, comforts, and restores us to a state of “peace, trust, and faith in Him that sin has no power over us - Because His love conquered death (sin) on the Cross! 
I John 4:7-9 AMPC 
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him].
8 He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.
9 In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him.
Now to have a loving heart and Godly character, watch little children play. A child is forgiving, trusting and believing that we aspire as Christians to have; but as adults, we lose that trusting heart over time! We get hurt, abandoned, abused, neglected, have tragedies in our lives and so forth, and become cynical because we hold on to the hurt more than LEAN on God’s Word and His Promises! It’s not easy to forget Who Love is - if you already know! 
I John 3:14-17
14 We know that we have passed over out of death into Life by the fact that we love the brethren (our fellow Christians). He who does not love abides (remains, is held and kept continually) in [spiritual] death.
15 Anyone who hates (abominates, detests) his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding (persevering) within him.
16 By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [in Him].
17 But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?
Love cannot be bought, sold, or auctioned off, it was bought with a heavy price (Jesus’ life; Holy and pure) given to us freely! It was His Passion!
Mark 16:16-18 AMPC 
16 He who believes [who adheres to and trusts in and relies on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] and is baptized will be saved [from the penalty of eternal death]; but he who does not believe [who does not adhere to and trust in and rely on the Gospel and Him Whom it sets forth] will be condemned.
17 And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;
18 They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.
The Gospel is Jesus’ ministry here on earth of His life of how He went about healing the blind, the cripple, the leper, the deaf, raising the dead, and preaching the "Good News" to the poor. (Matthew 11:4-5)

God does not want to see any of His children in strife, turmoil, deception, sickness and pain anymore, because He bore our burdens at the Cross for us, so we can live in peace, health, and free from the bondage and torment of sin. Love made it possible and will endure through eternity!

 Just a little note: we will have trials and tribulations in this life; but once we Cross over into eternal life, there will be NO MORE suffering at all.

 There are three things that remain - faith, hope , and love - and the greatest of these is "Love" (I Corinthians 13:13 TLB)

We love Him; because He FIRST loved us! Amen!

ALL Things Become NEW!

Every "New Year" brings new things, but we must transform our minds and hearts to let go of the old and embrace the new. Once a door is closed in the spirit, it cannot be opened, yet we hold on to the past that keeps our minds trapped to something that is debilitating rather than enlightening. Thoughts and words have power, and scripture tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." It has been studied that words of encouragement brings confidence in a person, good mental health, they believe in themselves to do well in life, they have better physical health, are more resilient, have good coping methods, know they are loved,  and have a calm spirit. Negative words are harsh and cause anger in a person, stress, they lose confidence and self-worth, they give up and feel there is no hope for them in anything they do, and no one loves them; in addition they are prone to depression and a...

A Lost Service?

There are so many things lacking in our lives today and the only thing that is going to fill that void is serving Yahweh and serving others. Volunteering and serving others and Yahweh (which he called himself [a servant]) breaks that spirit of selfishness, self gratification, and self destruction.   Teens volunteering which builds character and great leaders  Scripture reads in Proverbs 16:27 Ethiopian Bible: 27  An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. Which translates a ungodly man looks for trouble and manipulates others to do unlawful    acts. Many have heard this verse as, “Idle hands is the devil’s workshop.” Hands represent honest work in the Bible, or doing what is right in the eyes of Yahweh and man. The Bible also speaks of unclean hands that do bad things or are works of the devil. If you are sitting around in your feelings, get out and volunteer, help someone, serve at a food pantry, start a neighborhood garden; someth...

Let the "Light" Shine

Early Parchment of The Constitution Early American Settlers We are dealing with devils in the leadership in America and here’s the hypocrisy of it all, ALL of them that has been in office from the beginning of America’s birth, have overlooked lynching, starvation, terrorism of the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), lying, hate, sexual impurity, killing defenseless woman and children, just deep oppression - and want to say America was founded on Biblical foundations. Now whose Bible or whose Yahweh is this that promotes violence, evil, hate, and injustice? Yahweh gave Moses laws, instructions and promises to give to the people to live by and many call it the Ten Commandments, which Yahweh gave Moses hundreds of laws and there is no place, I have read, that this is the ten commandments.  What I read is that Yahweh gave them unto the people so that they will not sin and fear Him and obey His Commandments with favor, which is life, in the land. But this is just the beginning of the laws Yahweh gave ...
