Luke 6:46 (ESV)Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ & not do what I tell you? James 1:22 Be doers of the word, & not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Matt 7:24 Everyone then who hears these words of mine & does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. — Let us become wise builders, who choose to build our life on a rock! That is “the Rock of our Salvation”, GOD! — Psalm 62:6-7 He only is my rock & my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation & my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God. — With out a doubt, He is the only refuge that will stand the test of time! For He is the Solid Rock! Love Mel
Our Righteousness Before God is Given to Us By God Himself in Christ
Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat & drink; but righteousness, & peace, & joy in the Holy Ghost. 2 Cor 5:21 For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Isaiah 32:17 The work of righteousness shall be peace; & the effect of righteousness quietness & assurance for ever. — The righteousness of Christ removes all guilt of sin & replaces it with the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. One day when we stand in His presence, He will see the righteousness of His only son, not our sins! We have received this most precious gift from our God Almighty. How awesome & know this is the greatest gift we will ever receive. Now that is where peace comes from! Love Mel
The Greatest Among Us Will Be The Servant
John 15:8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit & so prove to be my disciples. Matt 23:11 He that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Matt 20:26 It shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your servant. Mark 9:35 If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all & the servant of all. Luke 22:26 You shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, & the one who leads like the one who serves.— Did you know that we were all created for His glory & to serve! How many people believe they are called to be a leader, but struggle when they find out that it means you are a servant! When we give it up to Him, we find out true leadership finds how to bring people to the feet of Jesus without being center stage! This is the place of the greatest glory! Servants are always more pleasing to God! Jesus was a servant! Love Mel
Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God
Eph 4:21-24 (KJV) If so be that ye have heard him, & have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; & be renewed in the spirit of your mind; & that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness & true holiness. — Our most important purpose is to become Christ like, because apart from Him the old self is full of deceit & corruption! All that said, we must choose to put on the new & discard the old! This is the only way for a true conversion. For we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This is why it is so important to seek first His Kingdom, for it is by Him that we can ever achieve His likeness! Those who seek after the world will no doubt become more & more like the world! I beg you to seek Him first because He is eternal & the world will one day come to an end! Love Mel
In His Presence is Fullness of Joy
Rom 15:13 (KJV)Now the God of hope fill you with all JOY & peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 1 Peter 1:8 (ESV)Though you have not seen Him, you love Him. Though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him & rejoice with JOY that is inexpressible & filled with glory. Psalm 16:11 (ESV)You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of JOY; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. John 15:11 — In life, is your JOY lacking! Well, “Fullness of JOY” is to be one with the father! This is the glow on Moses face when he came down from the mountain top after his meetings with God! If we seek His presence we will find that “Fullness of JOY”! Remember when we draw closer to Him, He will draw closer to us. Love Mel
