--For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
"But God commnedeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." --(Romans 5:8)
--There is absolutely nothing you can do to make God love you less. He loves you with and everlasting love and underneath are His everlasting arms. <https://youtu.be/JA28nZP1bSM> -
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
--What’s the secret to survival in enemy territory? Remember what God has done! Record his accomplishments in your memoirs. Don’t forget a single blessing. Create a trophy room in your heart. Each time you experience a victory, place a memory on the shelf. Before you face a challenge, take a quick tour of God’s accomplishments.
John 1:12 says, “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”
Live out your inheritance! You are loved, redeemed and filled with the Holy Spirit. You have the power of God in you to fight any battle you face.
The secret of survival in enemy territory? Remember what God has done. And remember whose you are! John 1:12—make it a verse to memorize this week. --Glory Days Today/ML~~ [Jesus loves you with an everlasting love, and underneath are His everlasting arms. We all, at some point, realize the temporary nature of life. The things we think will make life perfect can't ultimately satisfy us. Even is we have little or no disappointment in our relationships, career, etc--even the best of the most wonderful life is tainted with temporality. And the knowledge that whatever we have on this earth is fleeting has caused many people to despair.
That's because we are made for a permanence that is found only in God's presence, a love and a joy that never fades--that is what we truly seek, even if we aren't aware of it. And that is what only He can give. //This is the Air I Breathe~ Hillsong --<https://youtu.be/SFYAH-Z3_po>
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
-"I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." --(Matthew 16:18)--
--WHEN JESUS renamed Simon to Peter/Cephas (John 1:42), it wasn't a random choice. Peter means "the rock." But it took a while for him to live up to his new name. The account of his life reveals him as a fisherman known for his rash ways--a shifting-sand kind of guy. Peter disagreed with Jesus (Matthew 16:22-23), struck a man with a sword (John 18:10-11), and even denied knowing Jesus (John 18:15-27). But in Acts, we read that God worked in and through him as an amazing preacher to establish His church. Peter truly became a rock.
If you, like Peter, are a follower of Jesus, you have a new identity. In Acts 11:26, we read, "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." The name "Christians" means "Christ-ones." You now are one of the Christ-ones. This title lifts up who you are and calls you to become what you are not yet. God is faithful, and He will complete His good work in you. (Philippians 1:6).

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
--WHEN HIS WIFE contracted a terminal illness, Michael longed for her to experience the peace he had through his relationship with God. He had shared his faith with her, but she wasn't interested. One day, as he walked through a local bookstore, a title caught his eye,"God, Are You There?" Unsure how his wife would respond to the book, he walked in and out of the store several times before finally buying it. To his surprise, she accepted it.
The book touched her, and she began to read the Bible too. Two weeks later, Michael's wife passed away--at peace with God and resting in the assurance He would never leave or forsake her.
When God called Moses to lead His people out of Egypt, He didn't promise him power. Instead, He promised His presence: "I will be with you" (text). In Jesus's last words to His disciples before His crucifixion, He also promised God's eternal presence, which they would receive through the Holy Spirit (John 15:26).
There are many things God could give us to help us through life's challenges, such as material comfort, healing, or immediate solutions to our problems. Sometimes He does. But the best gift He gives is Himself. This is the greatest comfort we have-- whatever happens in life, He will be with us; He will never leave nor forsake us. ~~
