John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, & the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, & without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life, & the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, & the darkness has not overcome it. Matt 4:4 …“It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Luke 11:28 “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God & keep it!” James1:22 …Be doers of the word, & not hearers only. Prov30:5 Every word of God proves true; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.— Words can be used to tell a story. Words can be used to give advice. Words are the primary means of communication. So how much more important are the words of our creator? They were written to each of us. His book is filled with all the advice & wisdom we could ever need in this world. He even refers to it as bread, a need that we all have! So spend sometime with Him, by simply opening up the Bible. You will find more truth there than you ever will on any tv channel. Love Mel

Crowns will be our badges of honor reflecting glory upon Our Christ. -Rev4:10-11 The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who is seated on the throne & worship Him who lives forever & ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, “Worthy are you, our Lord & God, to receive glory, honor, & power, for you created all things, & by your will they existed & were created.”
The Crown of Life -(James 1:12) Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him. 
The Crown of Rejoicing – (1 THESS. 2:19-20) For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? For you are our glory & joy.
The Crown of Righteousness – (2 Tim 4:8) For those who have persevered under trial & stood the test of time.
The Crown of Glory 1 Peter 5:4) awarded to all those who long for His appearing.
The Crown of Victory –(1 COR. 9:24) Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. -For those who have fought the good fight of faith. 
— Let’s choose to stand firm, rejoicing in our faith, determined to pursue His righteousness, filled with His glory, running the race of life to win. Willing to fight the good fight of faith. Love Mel

Finding God’s Kindness! Psalm 6:4 Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love. Psalm 44:26 Rise up; come to our help! Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love! Titus 3:4-7 When the goodness & loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration & renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. — His Kindness changed everything! For without His saving grace we have only our filthy rags! How often do we so forget this one thing? Do we grumble & complain like the Israelites did on the way to the promised land? Did they become weak & choose to build the golden calf? We must never lose sight of the truth. We must remember His kindness, trust that He knows best for us. When in doubt always turn to His instructions (THE BIBLE). Love Mel

NUMBERS 6:24-26 The Lord bless you, and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace. —Remember today that you are in the family of Jew and gentile believers in Yeshua and this blessing – the ONLY PRAYER PRAYED BY GOD HIMSELF over His people APPLIES TO YOU. REJOICE. The Lord blesses and protects us, watches over us like a loving father and takes joy in us and gives us His peace.— Love Mel

Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. —Gods grace saves! A free gift! These things are not brought about by anything we do or don’t do, it is truly all done by our God for us! How blessed we are to have such an awesome God! —Rom 9:16 So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. Acts 15:11 On the contrary, we believe it is through the grace of the Lord Jesus that we are saved… — Keep believing, He is the same yesterday, today & tomorrow. It is time to accept His Gift! All in! The inheritance is out of this world! Love Mel
