Have You Ever Suffered From?

 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 1 John 1:9 The Holy Bible New Living Translation

Have you ever suffered from constipation for a few days?

It feels as if hands of fire are gripping your guts, and your head is going to explode.

Think of how relieved you feel when you finally have a bowel movement. Afterwards you feel light as air and feels pretty good huh?

Now think about how you feel when you repent of your sins. Think of how those sins eat at your soul affecting not only it but your physical health as well. When you repent, that filth is excreted from your soul like a spiritual bowel movement. Should we not be grateful to the one who makes forgiveness possible just as we are relieved from physical constipation?

The Holy Spirits conviction is the best spiritual enema you will ever have for better spiritual health. It flushes the filth of sin form the spirit quite effectively.Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Go’el (The Lord is my Redeemer) – Is. 49:26, 60:16 for blessing me with conviction which brings me unto repentance which blesses me with redemption. I exalt You in the name of He whose blood made redemption possible Jesus Christ. Amen

Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.

Have You Ever Worked For

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Colossians 3:23Holy Bible, New Living Translation Version

Have you ever worked for the nit pickers before?

Nit picker are those that no matter how good your work is they can always find something wrong with it. They take all the steam out of your desire to excel at what you are doing. This is a real tragedy when the nit pickers are parents.

It takes a lot of work and therapy to get over their poison they inject into their childrens impressionable minds.

Teachers can have the same short term affect.

When I do work I like to step back and ask my Heavenly Father if He is pleased with what has been done.

Most times He is and there is a warm feeling of satisfaction flowing through me.

When He isn’t there is no scolding. He just redirects my effort and then I step back and marvel at what we have accomplished and gratefully thank Him. There has been numerous times when He guides me to do something that I have no desire to do but do it with great gusto to please Him, which gives immeasurable pleasure to me.                                   

Most times when the project is completed I see what He was doing and the finished project looks fantastic even though it looked stupid and was laughed at by others or looked ugly but was beautiful when completed.

Sometimes we will not see the purpose of His task until we enter our Heavenly home. That is okay though because we take satisfaction in knowing what we did pleased our Heavenly King in the here and now.

Work for Jehovah, not man. It is appreciated so much more. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) for the esteem of being Your humble, obedient, loyal servant. It is the greatest delight that can be offered to me. I exalt You in the name of the King of Kings Jesus Christ. Amen

May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today.  

 

So Small but So Big

 

Have you ever laid on a carpet of grass on a warm summers eve and gazed into the night sky

Try as man may with his fireworks , it can not match GODS nightly lightshow

As you lay there admiring the magnatude of the beautiy of it all have you ever felt small and igsignificant

I have

Then a thought gently caresses my mind

It was GOD who made all those stars

HE is so awsome

and you know what?

HE loves us

A feeling of happiness and peace envelopes me

I smile and softly say

Thank you my wonderful Father

Gratitude Is Our Natural Response.

Sing to the Lord with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp. Psalm 147:7 New International Version

I have met the entitlement ones. You know, those who think they are entitled to everything. Saying thank you to them is condescending and they are above it. They are also the most miserable souls I have ever encountered. If they ever smiled you would think their face would crack like a broken mirror. They also have a multitude of health problems.

On the other hand I have met those who are full of grace and when they say thank you, you feel special. Those are the type of folks I love to be around and to help. Although they may have health issues they are almost always cheerful. They are also the type that enjoys helping others, are respectful and serine.

Gratitude is our natural response to Gods grace. Nothing so takes the heart out of a person as ingratitude. Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. Cicero.

 

I love to start my day with a morning prayer that thanks me Beloved Father in Heaven for all the amazing blessings He abundantly showers on me every day. It is a great way to start your day in a positive way.

 

Every evening I love to end the day with thanking my cherished one in Heaven for all the wonderful blessings He has abundantly given me by His grace. Many times I cannot finish they prayer as a peaceful sleep envelopes me. Believe me, it is better than any sleep medication you can get from a doctor (unless you are experiencing health problems which causes insomnia like sleep apnea).

A grateful heart is a cheerful heart. Joseph- Anthony: Green

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Chanan (God is gracious) for Your unending daily grace You so lovingly bless me with every day. I thank you in the name of Your most cherished gift Jesus Christ. Amen.                                                                                                               

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.

Do Not Abuse the Blessing

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD PROVERBS 3:7 King James Version

Do not be an egoistical twit and be puffed up like a peacock with your blessings.

Do not forget:

A peacock is a little bird with big colourful feathers so too are the egoistical with their pride. Joseph- Anthony: Green

That means do not falsely believe that you know everything in your field of specialty.

If you are good with computers, do not believe you know everything about them.If you are good at carpentry do not believe you know everything about building houses.

I have seen many who thought they were the best brought crashing down by those they thought they were better than.

To fear the Lord in this instance means to respect the Him.

To respect Him means you are to show your appreciation for the blessing He has given you by using your gift for His kingdoms purpose.

So if you have been blessed with being good at finances, volunteer at your church or some program to help those who are not good at it. If you are good at cooking volunteer at soup kitchens or at church socials.

Do not forget: if you abuse it you will lose it.

So do not be surprised if God takes your gift from you if you do not show your respect towards Him.

Prayer: Please Jehovah Elohim ((God our creator) create in me a grateful heart that gladly uses the gift You have so generously blessed me with to use this talent to further Your kingdom. I humbly request this in the name of wisest of all Your children Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
