Bible Verse of The Day – 2-11-23

Jeremiah 31:3 (NKJV) 3 The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

He has drawn us. Not with harshness, not with rudeness, not with anger, not with guilt, not with pride or arrogance.

But what does this verse say He has drawn us with?

With lovingkindness. Because He loves us with an everlasting love.

This is a love that will change us.  A love that will touch us. A love that is everlasting. A love that is fulfilling and causes us to want to obey Him more than anything else.

This Hebrew word, kindness, according to my notes, conveys the concept of covenant loyalty, love and faithfulness. Betrothal.

Many may feel this drawing. And some may have ignored it at times, thinking they had to get themselves right before they say yes.

But, that is the exact opposite of what God wants for us.

When He draws us to Himself, we must not think we need to clean up before we go to Him. However, we must submit everything at His feet, repenting and letting Him chip away those things that need to go.

He is going to draw us.

Don’t say, “wait”. Say, “yes, take all of me and let me have all of You! Let us be as one, married and loyal to each other”.

Remember His words; “With My lovingkindness I am drawing you”!  Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-22

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 “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.

I often think of how much He loved this world; that for each one of us, He gave his only Son. Can we all agree together that God loved us tremendously?!

When you give up your most precious gift for those who don’t deserve it, what kind of love is this?

This is a love that is everlasting, sacrificial, free and unconditional. This is the highest form of love.

It is called Agape love! A love that, without God in us to show us, we cannot know or understand its power.

With this agape love, He took what He deeply loved, His most precious gift, Jesus Christ, and delivered Him up for us.

Romans 8:32 (NKJV) 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Love is where it all began and where it will all end. All this hate in the world will not win. All the evil that we are witnessing this day will not win.

God has already Won this battle.

His plan for victory has already occurred. And through His most precious gift to us all, His love will continue to shine bright and leave hate and evil in their rightful place; defeated!

Can we get an AMEN today, children of the Most High God? For we have already won! It’s love that wins every battle. We need to press forward in His “Agape love”.

1 Corinthians 13:8 (NKJV) 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-16-22

John 4:39 (NKJV) 39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

These words caused many people to believe; “He told me all that I ever did”.

Boy, if we only could understand today how much He knows about us. If we could grasp that, many people might give their lives to Him.

This Samaritan woman was simply getting some water when she met Jesus at the well. For her it was what changed her life.

What will we be doing when we finally meet Him? And what I mean by meeting Him is, when we finally come face to face with Him and surrender our heart to Him.

The Samaritan woman wasn’t anywhere special when Jesus showed up. She wasn’t dressed in any special clothing or at any special kind of service or event.

She was simply drawing water from a well.

Jesus knows about each and every one of us.

He knows where we are right now. He knows what we do each day and night. He knows us all. He can sit beside us and tell us everything about ourselves.

Now, believe Him when He says to you today, “in spite of all that I know about you and your sin, I still love you. I died for you on that cross and I want to help you overcome the things of this world”.

Romans 5:8 (NKJV) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

This is a “One of a kind of love”.

We will never find it in anyone or anything else.

Jesus Christ knows all about us and still loves us. Will we love Him back? Will we believe in Him today and say, “Yes, we will repent and follow you”?

Amen. Praise be to God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-21

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

I am so humbled today in reading this verse, knowing the love that our Father has bestowed on us.

This means that those who belong to Him, those who have put their faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, are called children of God.

It’s amazing that He went through all of this for us, and still many have not accepted it. So many have not even considered what He went through to offer us the opportunity to become His children.

When we have been provided with a way to become a child of God, who would reject such a blessing, such an honor, such an answer to all of our problems?

Don’t reject the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Receive the truth today. Repent of our sins and become a child of God this day.

John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-30-21

1 Corinthians 1:4 (NKJV) 4 I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus…

The grace of God is a very beautiful thing!!

I’m thanking Him today for His grace for me and for you.

He has been amazing toward us all.

There is not one thing He has left out when it comes to caring for us. His grace is sufficient (meaning it is enough) no matter how low or how terrible we have been at times in our life.

He cares, and He will look upon us as we seek after Him and tell Him how sorry we are for the sins we commit. He will forgive us and fix us up for good.

What a friend we have in Him. One that understands us and knows us better than we know ourselves.

His love for us is more than any one person could ever have toward us. He knows our mistakes, our thoughts, our hatred at times, and our sin.

And guess what; He still wants us to come and be His friend. He wants us to find a better way, and He will change our hearts in doing just that.

His grace is something that we should be very grateful for, because without it we’d be in a heap of trouble.

Be thankful today for God’s grace given to us through His Son, Jesus Christ.

We love you all and are very grateful for you!

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV) 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-5-21

1 John 3:1 (NKJV) 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Let’s take a look at 2 different things in this verse that are important to us as believers.

1 – We should be called children of God.

Why? Because of the love He bestowed on us.

He offered us redemption through the blood of Christ. If we have accepted that offer, by putting our faith in Jesus, then our sins were forgiven and we have become His child.

We are no longer an orphan, a child of the world, a product of our environment.

We are made new, forgiven, redeemed and alive in Him!

And that brings us to the 2nd point.

2 – The world does not know us.

Why? Because it does not know Him.

Have you ever wondered why the world sometimes looks at us like we have three heads?

It’s because they have no spiritual eyes and ears; no understanding of things that are spiritual in nature.

To them, the things of God are complete foolishness. None of it makes any sense to them because they see things only through their intellect; their natural understanding.

So, it makes sense that they would look at us being strange, because the things we believe and the things that we talk about are things that they can’t relate to.

The world does not know us. And they do not know Him.

But as we walk out our relationship with Him here in the natural world, we can show them who He is through our own lives, a little at a time, giving them a glimpse of His love and compassion.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-21

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Love is powerful!

It can turn things around in a heartbeat, so to speak.

Jesus tells the disciples to love, and by doing so it will reflect back on Him. And those that see us moving in such a way will know that we are His!

Isn’t that what we all want? We want the world to know we belong to Him. We want the good and pure things we do to be pointed back to Jesus. After all, it’s because of Him that our hearts can love in such a deep and moving way.

Love is the reason why God sent His only Son to this earth for us.

Now, why can’t that be our only reason to live?

If we would get the right attitude in our heart activated, together we would make a better world to live in.

We would make a huge difference and it would be contagious.

Where does it start? Right here with us.

Let us make a decision in our hearts today to love better, to love stronger and to enjoy every bit of it.

Know that our actions will be a blessing to those we come in contact with.

People will know us and who we belong to by doing what Jesus showed us to do. It will point back to Him! Hallelujah, He is love!!

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-29-20

Genesis 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

God is big. He is incredibly awesome in His power and might.

It’s safe to say that He is beyond human comprehension.

We can never truly fathom who He really is. Nor can we truly fathom the wonder of Him.

And in His incredible magnificence, He did something truly amazing; He created you and He created me.

Genesis 1:27 (NKJV) 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

This is an incredible miracle!

Despite being God above all things, He made us and wants to walk with us!

We are the work of God’s own hands. And it’s important that we never lose sight of this, since it shows us His heart, and the fact that we are incredibly important to Him.

During those times when we may feel down or without hope, it’s important that we remember Him, the Giver of hope.

When we feel unloved, remember that He is love in its purest form.

And when we feel lost, He is always there to guide our steps.

He treasures us above all else. Remember that. And never lose sight of it, no matter what you face in your life.

Psalm 139:13-14 (NLT) 13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-14-20

1 John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

If we are a child of God, we know what love is, and we know how to use it.

God is love. He forgave our sins and received us as His child when we put our faith and trust in Him.

We cannot deny that the moment this happened we felt loved in a way we’d never felt before.

Oh, the warmth of God’s love wrapping around us the moment we said, “yes, I believe.” It’s like no other.

How many can testify of the love we felt in that moment of being born again?

I was only a young girl. But I’ll remember what I felt that day forever.

We know love, people. It’s in us. We were born again because of such love!

How do we lay down our lives for our brother?

We love them with that same love. We love them when they’re angry. We love them when they’re hurting. We love them when they talk foolish.

It’s easy to love our brother when they are good to us and easy to love. But, try loving them when they are annoying, frustrating and sassy.

It won’t be easy until we let God’s love shine. And in order to do that, we have to humbly accept the fact that He loved us that way, even in our worst moments.

He did not turn us away or talk down about us. He loved us the same then as He does now that we are cleaned up and living a different life.

Don’t ever forget where we came from. I speak for myself, but I’m sure we all have a story.

Lay down our lives for our brethren. We need each other.

I’m talking to someone today; you’ve been fighting with your brethren for some time now, and it’s not getting you anywhere.

You are always angry and uncomfortable around them. It’s time to stop and turn this thing around. In Jesus’ name, forgive them and love them with the love God put in us.

It’s time to walk this out and lighten your load. Today you will be free as you love on your brethren in spite of how they are as a person. Amen.

Our prayers are with you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-18-20

1 John 4:18 (NKJV) 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

There is a lot to learn from this verse.

Most of us can easily understand and comprehend why there should be no fear in love. Love is, after all, not something that conjures up images of fear.

When we love someone, and someone loves us, there should be no fear associated with that relationship. Neither of the two people in that relationship should fear each other. If there is fear, then the relationship is broken and in need of repair.

This scripture, though, goes much deeper than emotional love between two people. It is really referring to the love of God, and our love toward Him.

You see, when we love God, we should not live our lives in fear of Him. Yes, we need to have a reverent fear of Him, but we should not be afraid of His judgement.

Why? Because perfect love, His love, casts out all fear. When we walk in His love, we begin to get an understanding that causes fear to no longer have control over us. It no longer causes us to be apprehensive or anxious.

And this can apply to much more than just the judgement of God. Once we are walking in the perfect love of God, our fear of other things will also begin to melt away.

We will no longer fear things that we can’t control. We will no longer fear people and what they might think or say. And we will no longer fear death.

We can do this because we know that Jesus overcame all of these things, including death.

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

So, don’t live in fear. Not fear of man, fear of judgement, fear of death or fear of things that are out of our control.

God is faithful, and He is way bigger than the things that usually scare us.
