Joy Today

"This is the day the LORD has made...[what are we going to do about it?] WE will rejoice and be glad in it "( Psalm 118:24) And, my "walking with Jesus" friend, it's also:"Good-bye/Hello" Day! Goodbye 2022. Hello 2023! We may find it wise, on this day, to say what the Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:13-14,"Brethren, I do not consider that I have yet accomplished all that is possible, but, this one thing I DO: forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward toward those things that are ahead, I press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Let's set high goals with God for the coming year, my friend. To respond to this text message, reply to this email or visit Google Voice.

Are you listening for anything special today? What particular sound or sounds get your attention? Are your ears "tuned" to pick up certain sounds, my "walking with Jesus" friend? The ring tone for a particular friend, the alarm that reminds us to make a certain call...the voice of a special loved one or friend...these get our attention. And Psalm 29, reminds us:"The Voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of glory thunders...the voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is full of majesty...The voice of the Lord breaks the great cedars of Lebanon... The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire...and in His temple everyone declares, "Glory to the Lord." "May our hearts be "tuned" to hear the voice of the Lord, and our feet be swift to walk in His ways, my friend. To respond to this text message, reply to this email or visit Google Voice.

Good morning, my "walking with Jesus" friend. Praying that the Spirit of Christmas is continuing to abound in your heart and overflow into your life, to the glory of God. Maybe rejoice and think of life as if it were an orange. We peel it. And we find a ball of sharable sections. I share my Joy in Jesus with you. I share my energy with you by a trip to the market. I share my help by staying with your children so you can catch lunch with friends. Another slice may represent an invitation to meet for prayer. If you have an orange, in how MANY ways will you share and care in the Love of the Lord/in the on-going Spirit of Christmas?

Our hearts KEEP Christmas, my "walking with Jesus" friend, when we let the love of God guide our thoughts, words and actions, when we take time to connect with the Lord, BEFORE we "dash off in all directions," scattering our power and creating dust...when Jesus invites us: "Come unto Me, all you who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest, take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:28-30) Let's pray: May the Spirit of Christ shine in and through me, to the Glory of God. To respond to this text message, reply to this email or visit Google Voice.

In the midst of their usual work, the shepherds saw and heard the message of God: "For unto you is born THIS day... A Savior, who is Christ, the Lord, Messiah, the expected One." (Luke 2:11) More than three hundred prophecies were fulfilled in the coming, the life, death and resurrection of the Son of God. In LOVE, the Lord kept assuring us that He would send us the Savior... GOD kept His promise. GOD keeps all His promises...in His timing. So, "Keep yourselves in the LOVE of God,"(Jude 21) Be in prayer, all the time. Be in the Word of God daily. Be in fellowship with other Believers. Be in worship...wherever you are, whatever you are doing. Listen to the Lord and "By love serve one another."(Galatians 5:3b) Be "rooted and grounded in the LOVE of God." "Love the Lord, your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself, " said Jesus. (Mark 12:30-31) "To HAVE CHRISTMAS, GIVE CHRISTMAS," my ...

Family LOVE is specially blessed by the Lord God Almighty. The High and holy Love of God is to be reflected in our pure love for each other in marriage. And our aim is to be to inspire one another to be the best, and holiest that the Lord can grow us to be. .."by LOVE" (Galatians 5:13b) we are to serve one another. Find sound counsel on marriage in Ephesians 4 and Colossians 4. Following the counsel of the Lord generates JOY in our relationships. Perfect harmony and JOY? PROBABLY NOT, but, we have that goal and move in that direction, with the help of the Lord.

With MIGHTY, SPIRITUAL LOVE, GOD LOVES YOU. "I have loved you with an everlasting Love, " God tells us in Jeremiah 31:3, Therefore [therefore I have acted on your behalf...love is an action verb!] Therefore have I drawn you with lovingkindness have I drawn you...I will build you..."(Jeremiah 31:3-4a) The unconditional, everlasting love of God in Christ is: AGAPE Love/Perfect, Divine Love as only God can love. Then, there is parental love. Mom and Dad love their children because God has put it into their hearts to love and therefore to nurture their children. A third kind of love is "Brotherly Love" aka spiritual love between Believers, as when my Spirit loves the Spirit of God within you, and shares the deep joy of communion of Spirit. Love in true Spiritual Friendship generated joy, mutual encouragement, appreciation and practical caring. It's when earthly hearts share a mutual consciousness of the Love of God in Christ. It's when earthly hearts toge...

LOVE - in the person of The Son of God, our Savior Jesus Christ teaches US to love the Lord and each other. The arms of the CROSS remind us: GOD reached down from Heaven to us in Christ, we receive His love and are empowered to reach out to each other. The character qualities that clearly SHOW the love of God have been outlined for us in 1 Corinthians, chapter 13. We read them. We are reminded to live them: "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, or proud, not boastful or rude. Love is unselfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice, but always rejoices when the truth wins out. LOVE never gives up, never loses Faith. Love is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever..."(1Corinthians 13:4-8) Yes, the Love of God shows US the true way to love...and strengthens us to CHOOSE to love the Lord and love others. Yes, "KEEP yourself in ...

"OH! Now I see! GOD REALLY LOVES ME!" Her little face was one BIG smile. She was running round and round between the chairs. The red balloon she was holding followed her everywhere. When Maria had first come to Bible Club, she had been shy and quiet. She listened carefully but said very little. But NOW, MARIA had been transformed! Our Bible story today had been about how Jesus showed his love and power in healing blind Bartemaeus (Mark 10:46-52) We sang, 🎶Jesus loves me.🎶 We invited each child to ask Jesus, by His Spirit, to live in his/her heart. To be their forever friend. To bring his LOVE, to heal eyes, hands, feet and any hurting in your heart. Ask Him now, we invited, and suddenly Maria was standing beside me. I want Jesus in my heart, NOW," she announced. We prayed together. Her face glowed. She grabbed the red balloon and...and ever after she sang the loudest, shouted the longest and laughed the most. Coming to realize and to personally accept the mighty love...

Would be greatly blessed to hear your voice today...maybe give me 30 minutes from now to finish the morning texting and have hot lemonade, then call. Would that timing work for you? I wish you were not so far away physically, but I am glad and grateful that we can feel close in Spirit.

We know things that are strong. And we have found that some things are Stronger than others. But now we have been shown what is THE STRONGEST THING OF ALL: THE LOVE OF GOD! He demonstrated His GREAT LOVE by sending us the Savior, His one and only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, my "walking with Jesus" friend, John 3:16, declares the truth of the GREAT LOVE of GOD toward us: "For God SO GREATLY LOVED the world, that He gave His only Son, so that whoever BELIEVES in HIM shall not perish, but shall HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."(John 3:16) LOVE is the theme for this fourth and final week of Advent, leading up to Christmas. "GOD is LOVE. How did God demonstrate His LOVE for us? He sent His Son into the world that we might have Eternal Life through Him. Here in IS LOVE: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the payment for our sins. Beloved, if God so greatly loved us, WE OUGHT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER."(1 John 4:8b-11)" Whoever shall ...
