Friendship

It's so important to remember your friends. Sending them cards with special sayings meant just for them. A phone call just to talk is such a good thing to do, this creates a bonding time. Dinner party's are one of my favorite things to do with friends, you never know what fun conversation will happen. Most of all, always remember them in your prayers, you never know what might be going on in thier life. And uplift your friends, they will love you for that. We all need to hear good things about ourselves.

The One Who Jesus Loved

Have you ever thought about what your favorite book of the Bible is?

I have, it's the Book of John. Why? Because John wrote that he was the one that Jesus Loved. I love the way that John thought of himself, he new that Jesus loved him, and John loved Jesus. Sometimes I think about what it would have been like to be with Jesus in the flesh here on the earth, and I think that I would have been just like John, I would be hanging on Jesus' every word, following Him around everywhere, my eyes would always be directed His way, watching His every move, I too would be touching Him and leaning on Him . What devotion and love John had for our Jesus. And what a good example for us today. I love Jesus, I'm devoted to Him, I follow Him, I keep my eyes continually on Him watching His every move, I touch Him with my praise and worship, my longing to see Him face to face, to touch Him, to hold Him and Him hold me. I'm waiting Lord Jesus; I'm waiting for your return, the time when we will all have our own special time with you. That's why John is my favorite book.

John 13:23
One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.


John 20:2
So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"


John 21:20
Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, "Lord, who is going to betray you?")

I have learned to let go. :))

In my bible study and prayer time this morning I pondered about my life, my hurts, and un forgiveness. The holy spirit led me to write down the ones who have hurt me. If I had forgiven them or not. What they did to me. I thought and wrote it all out and came to an understanding that being attacked personally is very hurtful. But, I realized as I looked at the names that family was much easier to forgive because family is so very important to me. :) it comes easier for me. Now the other thing I learned is that others who are " friends" who have hurt me really don't matter any more so why continue to hold on to that hurt. Their opinion of me is not important anymore because they do not value me as a person or a friend. I've learned that I can forgive them and let them go. Thank you Lord for helping me and showing me ..... Myself :)) I understand now. I've learned to love, forgive and trust God with everything and "to let go". :)))

Forgiving Others

Matt 6:14-15, 18:21,22 Keep on forgiving.
Mark 11:25 Don't forget to forgive others while praying. We want Jesus to forgive us don't we? :o)
Col 3:13 Put up with one another. Yep, We've got to do it folks. :o)
Philippians 3;13-14 Forget whats behind us. Press on :o) Don't keep thinking about it!!
Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember NOT. :O)
Eph 4:31-32
Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind).32  And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.

We all just want to be loved. This was just too good not to share.

He tends his flock like a Shepherd:

He gathers the lambs in His arms

and carries them close to His heart.

Isaiah 40:11



Did you know that we all crave to be loved? That’s why when someone hurts us so badly that “trust” is so hard to regain. We take it out on God thinking He doesn’t love us at all because we were hurt one too many times. However, only God can fill that Void.

This verse clearly states that He makes sure we are taken care of! Not only that but He takes us into His very loving arms and holds us close to His heart. Wow! What a vivid picture! Imagine holding a new born baby. They are so fragile but you carry them and hold them close to you and you love on them. Now imagine God doing that with us. It’s amazing because His love never fails and His love sustains us. We are human beings, when we are faithless, He is still faithful to us. Let God love on you. Let Him mend your broken heart. Give Him a chance to hold you in His arms and close to His heart and see what He’ll do. Will you let Him?
