Selfless Faith

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard starts with “Everyone needs compassion, love that’s never failing,” and continues with “Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Savior.” This song has truly touched me. So many times, we go through live with an unforgiving heavy heart.

Relationships in families, marriages, friendships and so much more can be ruined with lack of forgiveness. Forgiveness is one of the key elements in life. Being that NOBODY is perfect, when you make a mistake, you expect to be forgiven, so why must you be unforgiving?   After all, Jesus was crucified on a cross to forgive us of our sins so we can live eternally; so how can we not forgive others? Can we really say a person has caused us more pain than the pain Jesus went through for our sins? Continue reading

Matthew 16:39 reads from the Amplified Bible “³⁹And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire.”

You are so valuable to God. God cherishes each and every soul on this earth. Even those who curse His name. He wants to abide and have fellowship with us. We have so much value He sent His only son as a sacrifice so that He could suffer our punishment. That is truly an amazing love. In Spanish, they say “Su Sublime Amour” which is even more profound. Do not let the world make you think or feel you are worthless. You may not be much to them, but to God you are everything. This is the truth because if we weren’t valuable, He would have given His ONLY son an alternative method and let the cup pass away from Him instead of dying the heinous death on the cross.

Go and be blessed!

Proverbs 17:9 reads “He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends..”

Brothers and sisters through the blood of Christ, do not get caught up in gossip lest it destroys you. Too many times we end up dwelling too much on the problem instead of being in search for a solution. If we are not able to provide love and support and a positive insight to fix mistakes that were made, we must keep quiet and out of the way of the problem solvers. Let us not try to make a small flame become a forest fire.

Isaiah 41:10 reads “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Remember, we can never let the Lord down because He holds us up with His righteous right hand. He gives us strength in ALL that we do. The devil uses discouragement to make us feel unworthy and a disppointment to God. Remember, our work is not what God looks it, it is our faith and effor that we put towards serving Him with ALL of our heart and soul, mind and strength, which perfectifies us in His eyes. We cannot let heaven down because it is already far above. Our stronghold is the Lord continuously lifting us up. As Jesus said “Be of good cheer.”

1 Corinthians 15:54-56 reads “…‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’ ⁵⁵ ‘O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?‘ ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.”

Through the death of Christ on the cross, the devil thought he defeated God by Jesus dying a heinous death on a cross after living a sinless life. However, Satan’s foolishness failed Him to realize that God created gravity. While Satan though he had Jesus trapped in the boundaries of Hell, Jesus broke His chains and rose again to life, signifying the freedom He has granted us, and returned home to the kingdom to prepare a place for us. Now as we lose our loved ones on earth, we weep, mourn, and lament over them leaving us here, but we also shall rejoice because after the passing of a life, we leave the flesh for Satan, but the spirit lives eternally up high laughing at our victorious battle against the fallen angel of death and disparity. Let us thank the Lord for His mercy upon our lowly souls.
