1 King18:37-38(ESV)O Lord, answer me (Elijah), that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, & that you have turned their hearts back. Then the fire of the Lord fell & consumed the burnt offering & the wood & the stones & the dust, & licked up the water that was in the trench. Matt 12:38-40 Then some of the scribes & Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you. But He answered them, An evil & adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days & three nights in the belly of the great fish, also will the Son of Man be three days & three nights in the heart of the earth. — The sign of Jonah was the greatest miracle that our God performed on the earth yet the most religious did not believe! To believe as a child is what it takes to truly understand our God! So again I say JUST BELIEVE!! Love Mel

He Created Us for Good Works
John 10:10 (ESV)The thief comes only to steal & kill & destroy. I (Jesus) came that they may have life & have it abundantly. Prov 19:21 (ESV) Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand. Hebr 6:17 (BSB) So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath. Eph 2:10 (ESV) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. — We were created for good works! This is part of His unchanging nature that are all part of His plan to bring us to the abundant life! We only need to say yes! Love Mel
The Upside Down Kingdom
Matt 5:3-11 (KJV) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger & thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, & persecute you, & shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, & be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. — Remember Jesus wants us (His followers) to live differently than the world lives! So it is ok to be different! Blessed by God never ever looks like you might think! Love Mel
ASK – Ask, Seek, Knock
Psalm 139:8-10 (KJV) If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, & dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, & thy right hand shall hold me. Psalm 23:2-3 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. — We serve an amazing God that does all this for us, just because it’s who He is! — Psalm 31:3 For thou art my rock & my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, & guide me. Matt 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and ye shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you: — So simple, just ASK! Love Mel
