Luke 8:38-39 (ESV) The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with Him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return home & tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away & told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. Luke 13:32 He (Jesus) said to them, “Go & tell that fox (Herod), ‘Behold, I cast out demons & perform cures today & tomorrow, & the third day I finish my course. — Jesus tells us to “Go Tell”! Do you know that you are the only one that can really tell your story! When God does magnificent things for us, it is the perfect opportunity to tell others! Our experiences are the perfect opportunities to bring hope to those that God brings to us. Sharing the good news of what God has done or is doing is what we are to do! Let’s do it. Love Mel
Light, Life and Truth
Gen 1:3-5 (all KJV) God said, Let there be light: & there was light. & God saw the light, that it was good: & God divided the light from the darkness. John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 1:4-5 In Him was life; & the life was the light of men. & the light shineth in darkness; & the darkness comprehended it not —Jesus is our path out of darkness, because there is no sin that He didn’t die for! We must continue to pray that in this dark time that He will open our minds to the truth! — John 8:32 Ye shall know the truth, & the truth shall make you free. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, & the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. Psalm 145:18 The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. — Light & Truth opens the door to the one that created it! Seems to me that He is the one we should seek to be more like! Don’t follow the darkness, you will end up lost! Love Mel
Set The Example and Shine Your Light
John 8:12 ( all KJV) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness. Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, & a light unto my path. Matt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, & glorify your Father which is in heaven. — Benjamin Franklin decided to take a different approach to lighting the city. He built a brighter lamp & placed in front of his house for people to see as they passed. Franklin’s lamp shone cleaner & brighter than all the old street lamps. Within a few months, the city started replacing the old lamps with the new Franklin built lamp. From his experiment Franklin uncovered a powerful truth: suggestions nor arguments are never as powerful as good examples.— Let’s be those good examples of today & shine brighter for our Lord.

Our Father Who Art in Heaven Hallowed Be Thy Name
Luke 11:1-2 (all KJV) It came to pass, that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. & He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Matt 6:9-10 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Luke 19:38, (They came saying) Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. “God’s will” will be done or the stones will cry out! So, Why not just agree & pray it as Jesus taught us! Love Mel
Pursue Righteousness, Faith, Love and Peace
2 Tim 2:22-25 (ESV) Flee youthful passions & pursue righteousness, faith, love, & peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, & they may come to their senses & escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. — God tells us to pursue righteousness, faith, love, & peace. We must above all things avoid all bitterness! God grants us repentance, because He doesn’t wish any to perish. Truth is the key to overcoming the lie. Don’t ever forget Satan is the father of all lies. To truly know the truth, we must get it from God & His word! Love Mel
