Fear Not

Psalms 135:6

Whatever the LORD pleases He does,

In heaven and in earth,

In the seas and in all deep places.

1 Kings 19:18

Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.

Luke 12:49

I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

Luke 12:51

Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.

2 Timothy 2:19

Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

Matthew 7:21

Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

Love Truth

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; 

because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Forgiveness comes from Love

- Sins are forgiven because of love. 

- She loves more because her sin was more. 

- The greater the sinner the more potential for awesome love. 

- The faith that saves is the love for Christ whom loved us first and is willing to forgive our sins. 

- You must be willing to admit you are a sinner to see how much God is willing to forgive. This brings about the love for Him. 

- Receive His love and forgiveness then you too can go in peace. 

Luke 7:47-50

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Eucharist

Once you understand the Eucharist, you can never leave the Church. Not because the Church won't let you, but because your heart won't let you. 

We don’t like your love

People don't know your love or understand or even want it because your love is not the way we love or think love should be.

Your love is different. Your love purifies and heals and to do that it uses both pain and pleasant. Both are blessings. Pain drives us closer to you and pleasant gives us reasons to praise. 

Our love only considers pleasant and thinks eradication of any and all pain is true love. This kind (our kind) does not heal or purify, it actually creates false surface living not deep communion. It actually leads to narcissistic tendencies and selfishness. 

I had been wondering why so few people would accept your wonderful gift of love and salvation and love you. 

It’s because we don't like your love. We have to be willing to admit we don't know real love and need to be purified. And we Don't Like Pain. We don't want to be purified. So we want the blessings of pleasant but once it gets hard we leave. We want the easy way. 

God, you came to show us both pleasant and pain is part of your plan. Your coming as a mortal man with our infirmity and death shows us this. 

You love us as we are but cannot let us come to heaven as we are. We must be purified-Heaven is pure. 

Open our minds Merciful Father and help us see true love and be willing to embrace both pleasant and pain and be purified so we can come home. Amen

Read:

Psalms 48:14

For this God 

is our God for ever and ever:

he will be our guide 

even unto death.

Reflect:

This God: the creator of all things. Who holds the stars in place. Who speaks into existence. The God who thirsts for the hearts of men to love Him. Who is pure truth love and mercy. 

Respond:

Please help me give you my heart Jesus. I want to love you for who you are. 

Reflect:

He is my God forever: I will never be alone. He is with me at all times past, present, and future into eternity. He knows all things and knows exactly what I need each day to get through those day’s obstacles. 

Respond: 

He loves me and wants to take care of me. Help me remember you know best and what I want is usually distorted. 

Reflect: 

He is my guide: he will counsel me. I must listen and obey. Just because he guides does not mean I am choosing to listen and do. He will not force but he will continue to call me the right way. He knows the right way to go, he had his plan before the foundation of the earth. Only obeying him brings true life. 

Respond:

Help me listen and do your will in all things. Only you love and know best for me. Know there are opposing voices to the will of God. I must sift through all and choose correctly. My flesh, the world, and the devil have a different desire. I must be willing to listen to the correct voice and then DO it. 

Reflect: 

Unto death: he will never give up on me. He will counsel and pursue me all the way till my last breath. 

Respond:

Help me Jesus surrender to your love and grace now all the way home.
