Whether you love to read or it’s just not your thing; we can agree on one thing for sure…you read to get through life.

Life, has its moments. Sometimes we need to escape and reading helps conquer the moment that has become overwhelming.

Books show no favoritism! They love whoever the reader may be. You feel refreshed and renewed!

The miracle of reading is a gift like none other. If you are an invalid, or poor, rich or young, or old, you can go on vacation just by going to the library.

LIFE! There are no manuscripts, or take home manuals when you arrive. However, there is the gift of life that many chose to ignore. The gift of life is fragile. Books have been written, and scholars have studied for centuries.

Through time, it has become known the HOLY BIBLE IS THE MOST READ AND SOUGHT AFTER OF ALL BOOKS!

When we look for knowledge, we seek truth, if we are of great courage. Why does it take great courage? Many are afraid of what they may discover, so they choose not to be informed. Courage is seeking truth and following the truth.

I have read most recently a book called DIARY. This particular book is truth. I recommend it. Why? Because it opens the doors and windows to the soul. It sheds light on who we are, and the fragile gift of life. She states, “The quintessence of love is sacrifice and suffering. Truth wears a crown of thorns. Prayer involves the intellect, the will, and emotions.” Life, our life is a gift of love. When love is realized, it is embraced. To love life fully is to choose prayer to God Our Father through Jesus Christ the Son of God. The sacrifice of perfect love demonstrated and lived out for our salvation. His gift of life is celebrated, at Christmas and Easter because He is Salvation.

In opposition to the Love of God, we have Satan. The real entity of darkness. So much so, that He is the King of liars! He has convinced many that He is not real, sin is not real and GOD is not real! I am here to tell you God is and always will be. Satan is real and sin is real! The Joy of Living is choosing eternity with God! Free will! God’s gift to us! We decide. Not deciding is a decision. God proved His love and to not ask Our Lord into your heart is choosing yourself and your free will! Thereby the gates of Hell are open to your soul! Only Jesus Christ has the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Not choosing is choosing to play in the middle of the street and you will get run over. Denying truth does not change the facts. The fact is and remains. If you choose not to be a friend to Jesus Christ, then you have chosen Satan’s team!

Satan comes in many forms and in many entities. Witchcraft is one. I visited someone most recently and they had books on witchcraft and the paranormal, and others as well. The doors to Satan become available to enter the domain of He or She who wishes to indulge in the darkness of Hell! Satan’s homeland. I say, “If you choose to dance with the Devil, you are sure to burn in hell!” This is a fact! The King of Lies will never, bring you peace. Your world as you know it, will slowly deteriorate. How far down will you go before you take your last God given breath? God gives life, and only God decides when He desires His breath back. Life is from God. It is His to give and His to take. Whether you choose to praise and thank Him is up you. Eternity is a long time. Where will you spend your eternity? Whose side are you on? God Bless You! Another set of books LEFT BEHIND BY JERRY B JENKINS AND TIM LaHAYE. These books are available at the library and awaken the souls understanding of our journey through this life. They present and opportunity of understanding that has been longed for and answered. The book, DIARY is based on the DIVINE MERCY OF OUR LORD. IT IS WRITTEN BY SAINT MARIA FAUSTINA KOWALSKA. HER LIFE for Jesus Christ is a manifestation of Jesus. Only when we choose to recognize that something is missing do we begin our search. The true GLORY OF GODS LOVE is revealed through our submission of our cry to Our FATHER. The books I mentioned will fill you up and complete you in ways you can’t imagine. They are experiences by others revealed to us by the love of GOD THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT! AMEN!

When I am left alone, and uninvited, I am hurt and angry.   HOW do you feel!?

Remember others?   WELL, JESUS WAS LEFT ALONE.  EVER GIVE HIM ANY THOUGHT ?

Would you like someone to give you a thought?    If someone did you a favor, would  you care to remember their gift of doing that favor?

OUR LORD, did us all a favor.   HE DID US A FAVOR!   Many do not consider HIS GIFT?

DO   You think He feels alone and hurt?  In recognizing ‘hurt’ through loneliness; and recognizing JESUS is a real ‘human being’.   HIS HURT REAL!

MATTHEW:   CHAPTER 7  VERSE 12 ”DO UNTO OTHERS WHATEVER YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO TO YOU .  This Is the law and the prophets .” (KNOWN AS THE GOLDEN RULE)

That line, Applies TO all  LIVES.    IF YOU  were the individual that suffered the crucifixion, the road to Calvary, and the betrayal of friends would you still forgive?

MOST of us have a circumstance in our lives where we say: “I’ll never forgive him for that!”   Yet, look at what love was realized when “HE” forgave us all.

I try to achieve  for HIM that same love; “Forgiveness”.   The most difficult, to forgive is myself.   This in and of itself is a sin.   Why ?  Because when we accept CHRIST as OUR SAVIOR and best friend, He has made us perfect in HIM.   HE gives Himself within ourselves, so we become like HIM.

The next gift the “HOLY SPIRIT’ IS Given.    This completes the Holy Trinity”

”FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.”   That embraced completes us.     The true experience of eternal life is ‘accepting JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.

HIS spirit becomes alive within us.   The gift of eternal life,  love.    Accepted, and asked for forgiveness.   Showing HIM his perfect love is recognized and not taken for granted.

LUKE:   Chapter 20 verses: 34-36

Exhortation to be Vigilant

34) “Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and  drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise 35)  like a trap.   For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. 36)

Be Vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son Man.”

How much value do we put into a promise?   A promise is a truth.   It is a part of our heart.    We find a hurt deeper than ever felt when ‘betrayed’.   Yet truth is not of value to some.   Indeed betrayal and the ‘broken promise’ has no merit to them.    With no morality in their hearts, there can be no moral fiber. Therefore a broken heart left behind is of no concern.   Their only concern is to their benefit.

A broken heart, because of a broken promise is a wound unrecognized, unappreciated!

Have you ever had a broken heart?   Was it because of betrayal?   Was it someone you  love, and still love?   It hurts like knife in the heart and bleeds unseen.

When we think about the “person JESUS” we do not reflect a great deal on the ‘broken promises’ HE endured.   Yet being ‘human’ in HIS divinity, HE felt ‘all’ we feel, and sees all we see, and more.

A broken heart, a pain unrecognized Is recognized by HIM!    This pain is HIS as well.  He was betrayed by HIS best friend!

John: chapter 13 verses 37-38

37)   “LORD,”  Peter said to him,   “Why can I not follow you now?   I will lay down my life for you!”   38)   “You  will lay down your life for me, will you?”   Jesus answered. “I tell you truly, the cock will not crow before you have three times disowned me!

Despite this piercing heart wrenching pain, JESUS forgave Peter.    He loved Peter so  much, HE  made Him the first “POPE” to His bride…His church…the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Was JESUS betrayed again?   Did he suffer another betrayal?   Who knows how many HE suffered.   We do not know how many we have endured.    If so, we pray that hurt will pass us by again.   Maybe so much so that HE went to hang on a cross to prove HIS love, even though so many did not and do not want to keep a promise.   A piercing knife cutting heartfelt pain unseen.

JESUS, though many do not know suffered 3 mortal wounds in his forehead.   HE was flogged and dressed as a mocked king; the wounds in the body were 1000.     Those who mocked HIM were 1008; and the drops of blood were 2840 and the blows to HIS body 5480.   Remembering He was human, HE suffered humanly.    Being divine HE understood the will of God the Father, namely, that He was to be one of us.    The ‘Holy Family’ here was to be His.   That brought about by the Heavenly Father.    So that we may believe.    Enabling and allowing us to recognize that God is  so in love with us He willed to suffer, live and die, as us.

The Divinity Our Lord has, did not deter Him from recognizing, pleasing His Father was more important than anything.

Promises are.   We encounter them.   We trust.   Our Most sorrowful Mother Mary trusted.   Trusting Gods promise.    Humility, sorrow, joy, anguish, and love.     God did not forget HIS promises.    Our Most Sorrowful Mother, crowned queen of heaven and earth.    Pleasing God is everything!    JESUS, and Our Most Blessed Sorrowful Mother.   In loving God first, all is through JESUS CHRIST!   HE shows us the way.

John: Chapter 14 verses 6- 7

6) JESUS told Him,   “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.

7) If you really knew me, you would know my Father also.   From this point on you know him; you have seen him.”

It takes strength for change.      Like a cut that will not heal, so is change.    You may not agree but it affects our inner balance.    Even when change is initiated, it  disturbs our ‘comfort zone.’     

Moving, someone dying, a new addition to our home, falling in love, injured, being violated, or raped.  Even winning or losing ‘money’.   Just to name a few.

Our response is usually “why God” or thank you God.    Yet in the course of all this activity, the very thought of “God” is not considered daily.   Few believe “HE” understands, and can not be bothered.   However like we all enjoy hearing from one we love, we are excited, and overjoyed.

Most of us know the  prayer the “Our Father”.    This prayer says “On Earth. As It Is in Heaven”.   When asked Our Lord answered,  “Our Father Who art in Heaven.   These lines are indeed bringing the realization of Heaven.   That there is indeed One who waits and dwells therein.    Knowing that is the same sentiment as someone explaining to another  that that you dwell over there, AND how to get there.

This why Our Lord came.   He wants us to know there is “One who knows and loves us.”     HE laid the ‘corner stone’ to ‘building’ a life ‘On Earth’.    Just one sends another to ‘show the way’. It is done,    Whether it is me or. You.   If we know how, we share ‘what way’. It is done, ‘The best way’ to get it done.

You or I can say, ‘I already know, I don’t need you to show me.’  Consequently we are angry.   It is true we all become frustrated,    However, when we ask Our Heavenly Father  to show us “He will”.    Remember He said, “Ask and you will recieve”.  We must ask,   How many of us that don’t understand ‘ask’.

So often when we are shown we feel so ‘thankful’  someone showed ‘me’.

’BELIEVING’ is ‘On Earth As it is in Heaven.’   If you do not know the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit’. How can you be welcomed, Somewhere you do not know them?    Are you going to welcome me into your home when I want to come in just because it is so ‘beautiful?     ‘On Earth As it is in Heaven.’

The keys to the ‘kingdom’ belong to the Son.’   Acquaint yourself with the Son.  Invite Him into your heart.   He wants to be invited in, just as you do.   “HOW”?   Simply say, “Lord I want you to come into my heart.  I want to know you and love you too.

The ‘MASTER’ knows and wants to show you the way.   You will know “HIS” personality.    Just as we have many sides to know so does HE.    He is waiting!

Book of ‘MATHEW’    Chapeter  6   VERSES:  (9-15)

9)  This is how you are to pray:

“Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name,

10) Your kingdom come, your will be done on  earth as it is in heaven.

11) Give us today our daily bread,

12) and forgive us the wrong we have done as we forgive those who wrong us.

13) Subject us not to the trial but deliver us from the evil one.”

14) “If you forgive the faults of others your Heavenly Father will forgive you yours.

15) If you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive you.”

Chapter 8 Verses (24-25)

24) “Anyone  who hears my words and puts them into practice is like the wise man who built his house on rock. 25) When the rainy season set in, the torrents came and the winds blew and buffeted his house.  It did not collapse; it had been solidly set on rock”

Have you ever had a stranger come up to you and ask you a question? Surprised, you Wonder why they are asking you.

I was traveling…and encountered this experience. I was surprised and concerned. Why? Because, I was not sure I should trust. I chose to answer.

I walked into a gas station and was paying, when the man behind the counter said to me, “Will you bless my gas station”. Imagine how surprised I was.
I said, “ Why me? “. Because you are a believer, and I want my gas station blessed so it will be a success. This faith He has is a gift. He was told by the Holy Spirit. I for one do not consider myself any different than anyone else.

However, I did bless His gas station. The LORD is in charge and chooses what deems to be holy and blessed…knowing this to be true I chose to oblige. I asked for the LORD to bless his gas station. The prayer was guided by the “HOLY SPIRIT”.

HOW CAN THIS BE YOU ASK….

The power of the “Holy Spirit” guides, directs and protects us.

For years I was not sure I believed in this gift Of “The Holy Spirit”.
It seemed to me to be ridiculous. Then through the years, people would tell me, “God Bless you”. I started to wonder. I wanted to know more.

You see, Just because one is raised in a certain faith does not mean we believe. I pretty much went through the motions for quite some time.

But when I decided I needed to know, I asked. Who did I ask? I asked our “LORD”. WHERE ARE YOU? HE DID ANSWER. “HERE I AM”. STILL NOT SURE I BELIEVED, I CHOSE TO READ SCRIPTURE. This power that I experienced caused me to continue reading. The power I felt was different than what I knew. I could feel the difference.

Then I thought Of the “TEN COMMANDMENTS”. I Decided that was what I needed to do. After all it can’t be that hard.

So I taught myself the ‘TEN COMMANDMENTS’. NOW I figure, I am following the rules.

Yet, still inside of me, I wanted to know more. So, I picked up my ‘BIBLE’. The “HOLY SPIRIT” GUIDED me to the perfect scripture….

Book of John chapter 14 verses 21-22 26
21) “HE WHO OBEYS THE COMMANDMENTS HE HAS FROM ME IS THE MAN WHO LOVES ME; AND HE WHO LOVES ME WILL BE LOVED BY MY FATHER. I TOO WILL LOVE HIM AND REVEAL MYSELF TO HIM.”
22). “JUDAS (NOT ISCARIOT) SAID TO HIM, “LORD, WHY IS IT THAT YOU WILL REVEAL YOURSELF TO US AND NOT THE WORLD?”
23). “JESUS ANSWERED: “ANYONE WHO LOVES ME WILL BE TRUE TO My word, and my Father will love him; we will come to HIM AND MAKE OUR DWELLING PLACE WITH HIM”
26). …”the Paraclete, the “HOLY SPIRIT” whom the Father will send in my name, will instruct you in everything, and remind you of all that I told you.”
