"I LOVE YOU ALL" SAYS JESUS TODAY...HIS CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR THE WORLD

It is Christmas Eve 2009...and as I sit here in prayer with Our Beloved Lord...I ask HIM to give us all HIS CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR THE WORLD. Here it is...

To My Loving Angels on Earth,
Merry Christmas! I hope each of you feels the reason to celebrate this year. The greatest reason to celebrate is because of my great love for you. Many, many years ago, I was sent here by my Beloved Father, to share a message with the world. The message of Salvation. This means you will all have Eternal Life. You will all be saved and your life as you know it here on earth, will not end, but rather change, to a more beautiful form.

This was an historic event when I was born, however truly, it was the Holy Conception of My Blessed Mother that began this event. She accepted God's will, My Father's, at all costs. She did not question HIM, nor complain. She accepted My Father's will and I became Man. My Mother suffered greatly and was ridiculed by many. Her faith in God carried her through all those hard months and years of unfair judgment. She was and is the first to conceive without sin and without knowing man. This was my Father's plan. I had to be unique and not born of another man, but of God's grace.

This Christmas and every year at this time, please remember what my Mother sacrificed for you and what I ultimately did for all of mankind. This was an act that I accepted freely and without hesitation. My birth and life on earth was all for you. So that we could be together forever freely, in a place where my Father dwells and I also reside. This place is called Heaven. It does exist and because of my dying, you are all invited and welcomed. Here you will share in the peace and joy of our love for each other. You will be reunited with your loved ones who have gone before you. They await for each and every one of you to return to them. They have not died. They are very much alive in a place that is truly glorious. And one day, I hope you will all join me in Heaven.

My child Kathleen works tirelessly for you all to know and hear my voice. Her devotion to me is without limits. She knows me intimately and I have Blessed her in many ways. She is the light of the world and has much to teach all of you.

I wish for my children to seek me all year long, not just during this Holy Season. It is quite easy to find me, for I am never far from any of you. Reach out to me and I will be there. Please talk to me and pray for whatever burdens are on your mind. Together, we can solve them all.

Finally for tonight, I wish peace in the world. I wish for harmony among people and countries. Do not fight each other, for you are not the enemy. Satan is. He will use any of you, if you allow him to. Do not allow him to use you for his poison. Resist and turn to me. Satan has no hold over me, nor will he have any hold over those that turn to me.

Good night, God Bless You All My Sweet Children. Please let me see you smile more and be joyous. It pleases me greatly when you are happy. Life on earth is temporary and will not last forever. Heaven is for all ages. Thank you for celebrating with me. Let us try to celebrate each day together. I LOVE YOU ALL !

Your friend and Saviour,
Jesus Christ

"I WISH FOR YOU ALL TO BE HAPPY", SAYS JESUS CHRIST

These beautiful words are being dictated to me from our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ...

"What is happiness? Is it the same thing as joy? Is one similar to another? Yes, happiness stems from pure joy. Joy stems from your heart and soul being in union with one another and me. You might describe happiness as an attitude. You personally need to decide, if you wish to be happy and then allow yourself to experience it. I can certainly help you be happy and feel happy.

Life on earth is like a winding road. Throughout the road, there are trees, flowers, lakes and beautiful resting spots. All you have to do is open your eyes and you will see it. The beauty can be found. On the other side of the road, are the less attractive places and things. They are comprised of worry, fear, jealousy, selfishness, greed and unkindness. These things prevent you from being happy. If you look at them too long, they will trap you and pull you in to their disguise.

The way to avoid anything bad or excessive, is to stay close to me. I can help you balance your life in a healthy and uplifting way. Everyday stresses may come, however, I will ensure that they also go. The state of mind, which pleases me the most for you, my Beloved Children, is happiness. I wish all of you to be happy. Sometimes I intentionally put joyous things and people in your life, just to make you smile. I want everyone to smile more. There is so much deceit in the world, so I understand why it is hard to trust others. But try to. I will protect anyone who turns to me in private. My loving eyes are always upon them.

If you are in a difficult position now, it is OK. I will help you and things will change. So please be happy. If things are very good now in your life, please thank my Father and Mother. They deserve all your love and admiration. AND THE BEST WAY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE ON EARTH, IS WITH ME EACH DAY. I AM ALWAYS HERE AND AVAILABLE FOR LOVE, GUIDANCE, FRIENDSHIP AND SUPPORT. THERE IS NOTHING I WOULD NOT DO FOR MY BELOVED CHILDREN...IN FACT, I HAVE ALREADY DONE IT ALL.

Thanks for Listening.
GOD BLESS YOU",
Jesus Christ

A NEW MESSAGE FROM JESUS TO YOU

The following are the loving words I heard from Jesus today for you...I sit with Our Beloved Lord, pray and speak with HIM. I hope you all feel HIS love and joy...

To My Loving Family and Friends,
Happy Holidays to you all! I hope this Holy Season finds you happy and thankful for all. This year may be different for some of you during this Christmas. However, I wish to give you all a GIFT. THE GIFT OF JOY.

Joy originates from deep inside your soul and heart. It is light and not heavy. The burdens of the world slip away when you receive my JOY. Happiness replaces sadness and worry. True FAITH is realized, that I am responsible for you and will take care of you. Your happiness and well being is of great importance to me. When I see you happy, I am happy.

Open your heart to me this Holiday Season. Let me in. Recognize that I am here and love you. I wish my friends and family, you, to be happy this year. In the past, you may have had more material gifts to exchange with each other. That was nice. However, this year may be different from the past, but even more joyous. Material gifts sometimes bring people joy, but the GIFT OF JOY FROM ME, will replace any material item on earth. You see, my gift comes from a feeling, a feeling of happiness, contentment and love. You may have less, but inside you will shine brighter.

To receive my JOY, be at peace in your life. Realize you are doing everything you can to enhance your life. Think about what you really need this Holiday Season and I will ensure that you receive it. I have all good things planned. Fill yourself up with the important things, joy, happiness and appreciation for each other. I will do the rest.

Love,
Jesus

THE CHAPTERS OF OUR LIFE

Our life is constantly changing. New people come into our life and sometimes the old ones disappear. Our life changes like the seasons...it is continuous. We cannot always control the change...it happens sometimes quickly or slowly.

Our life is similar to a book. We write one chapter at a time. We should try our best to make sure each chapter is fulfilling. We are the main author. However, with all the change...one person is constant and that is God.

God will never come into our life and disappear. HE will be with us during each season of our life. Each holiday we celebrate...God is present. Every joy we encounter, HE is there. Every heartache we experience, on our life journey, HE is there.

No one can ever take God away from you. HE is yours and you are HIS. As we remember the past...remember God was there. As we live in the present, remember God is here. As we look forward to our future, remember God will be there with us.

Throughout every season of our life, GOD IS PRESENT. All we have to do is notice. Create your own friendship with God... It may be with GOD THE FATHER, BELOVED JESUS CHRIST OR THE HOLY SPIRIT. Each part of the Holy Trinity loves you and wants to be by your side. Align yourself with one, two or all three.

As you experience each chapter of your life...with God as a central figure...you will be BLESSED, LOVED AND HAPPIER. (AND GOD WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE A CENTRAL FIGURE IN YOUR LIFE) Although our life may change with the seasons, GOD IS CONSTANT. Amen!

GIVING THANKS AND APPRECIATION

Give thanks for everyone you know in your life...they are there for a reason. To love you, to care for you, to give companionship and laugh with. God puts wonderful, amazing people in your life. Stop for a moment and think of all the nice, caring people you know. Then, reach out and let them know, how you appreciate them. It may be with a phone call, a card, an email or text...or in person. Share with them your appreciation...it does so much for the heart, mind and soul. It makes one feel validated. It makes one feel recognized. It makes one feel good.

GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR EVERYTHING!
He is trying to help you in every way. Giving thanks to God makes HIM also feel appreciated. It shows your gratitude. Although everything might not be going as you planned at this moment...remember God has the last say...and your journey is not finished yet! Appreciate what you have...give thanks to HIM and know that many more... good, exciting things are going to happen for you. Be patient, but stay positive!

APPRECIATION IS SO IMPORTANT! We need to appreciate ourselves because each one of us is great in our own way. The world might not see it yet...but God does!
SO APPRECIATE YOURSELF! Value and respect yourself each day. Do not let anyone put you down or make you feel bad about yourself. If you make a mistake, learn from it and move on. Forgive yourself...only God is perfect.

Appreciate your life and all the great people and things in it...
Give thanks and appreciate God...
I know HE appreciates it...

(Thank you... for all you wonderful people who visit my blog, read, share your thoughts and follow. You make me feel appreciated...and I thank you. I value all of you.)

BE AT PEACE AND SMILE MORE

Be at peace in your life. Know that everything with God's help will be better. Do not worry. It is useless. You by yourself...can only control so little in your life. Learn to love and trust God. It takes time to fully turn over your anxieties to HIM. But with time, as you grow closer to God...your life changes immensely.

YOU WILL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF INNER PEACE. It is priceless. As the world sometimes acts crazy around you...you stay centered and calm with God. Drama in your life can not pull you in. You stop reacting to others who cause you pain .

YOU WILL DEVELOP AN INNER KNOWING THROUGH GOD. This inner knowing allows you to function in a peaceful, calm way through your day. Deep in your soul, heart and mind...there is an inner knowing that God is watching and ready to interact in your life whenever necessary.
No harm can come to you without HIS consent. Things will not "just happen by accident". Your awareness of God's presence in your life is heightened to a new level. This level is above the noise around you. You will have a deep understanding and feeling of being loved, special and protected.

TAKE AND ACCEPT GOD'S PEACE. It does not happen overnight. It takes some dedication on your part and faith in HIM. But I highly recommend it! HE wants you to smile more!

JESUS' LOVING MESSAGE: "COMPLETELY TRUST IN ME"

Jesus loves all of us. He reaches out to us in many ways. HE speaks to us through others, through silent prayer with HIM and also with words in our hearts and mind. Tonight, Jesus has a message to all his loving family and friends...he speaks openly to me and feels the need to comfort so many who are going through hardships. The following I believe are the words of Our Beloved Lord who speaks to me now... through my mind, heart and soul to you.

To My Loving Family and Friends,
I hear your prayers to me and my Father and my Beautiful Blessed Mother. We can hear all that you ask...and no one is forgotten on earth. So many of my faithful children are suffering with illness, finances, negativity and depression. I feel what you are experiencing and it breaks my heart to see you all suffer. Life is full of ups and downs on earth...but even they are not permanent. The balance of life shifts many times on earth. But throughout all, I AM HERE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO FEAR. I WILL NEVER ABANDON YOU AND ALLOW YOU TO BEAR CROSSES THAT ARE TOO HEAVY. I CAN STEP IN AND WILL STEP IN TO SAVE YOU. PLEASE REMEMBER HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND MY POWER IS OMNIPRESENT ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN.

Stay close to me. Have trust and faith that I want to help you and I will. These are not empty promises. I will help you with any hardship you are experiencing now. Many of my Beloved Children are suffering on earth because of the greed of a few and it has caused much suffering among many. Some of you have caused your own hardships, but that is OK. It does not matter how you arrived in this particular situation in your life now...I will help get you out of it.

I only ask one thing of you. That please, in your heart and soul turn to me...allow yourself to know me and love me. I can give you many things that the world can not. I can give you my peace. My peace is special. It encompasses a deep trust that I can handle all the things in your life. I can. I did not start many of the problems on earth today, however, individually, one by one, I can solve your problems.

Whatever you truly need, I WILL PROVIDE. BE ASSURED OF THIS. Whether it is money to pay your bills, I will help. If you need work, I will find you a job or provide assistance in another way. If you feel sad and depressed, that is very easy for me to take care of. Come to me, give me your devotion and love...and I will replace sadness, with joy and confidence.

Times may be hard now, but they will change and become better. However, please let me define "better". I am most concerned with my children and friends "well being". I wish and hope that my children grow inward, where the things that really matter, in a person's life exists. It is their character and expectations that need to grow and be altered. During these times, if you chose, you can grow and value the things that are really important in life. Loving yourself, family, friends and strangers. Helping others in need and sharing what you have with others, who have less. Not valuing others based on their socioeconomic status, however, valuing them on the status of their heart. What you can build up now in your own life are treasures in your character. You can become better, than you were yesterday. It is really simple. People who have less, appreciate more and their material goals become more simplistic. Why is this good? "Because who you are inside, is what you are comprised of, not how you look on the outside".

Please do not live in fear, for I am here. I will make sure you are OK. The world sometimes may be a tricky place...for I have lived their once myself and know. However, I also knew MY ALMIGHTY FATHER and completely trusted in HIM. That is what I am asking all of you to do now, COMPLETELY TRUST IN ME.
Yours,
Jesus Christ

GOD'S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

In our lifetime, many different things occur. We are constantly changing as individuals and hopefully growing, to reach our full potential here on earth. Events unfold, sometimes slowly or quickly... sometimes now or in the future.

We have a somewhat limited view of our life and therefore, what we think is best...is not always true. It is the same with events in our life. When we think "things" should happen, they do not always. This may cause us stress and disappointment. But it should not. Once you align yourself with God and begin to trust in HIM...whatever happens at anytime, you have confidence and peace with. You have a deep understanding, that "it was not meant to be at that time". Hopefully you understand that... GOD HAS IT UNDER CONTROL AND HIS TIMING FOR EVENTS TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE ARE ALWAYS PERFECT.

If you expand your awareness to include God in your daily life, then whatever happens...you accept and trust that it was for the best. Open your mind, heart and soul to the inner and outer happenings in your life. Things all fall together in your life when the time is perfect...not in our eyes...but God's. Look around at the events in your life and with a more conscious eye...start to notice that events unfold perfectly because of God. HE IS RUNNING EVERYTHING...OR SHALL I SAY ALLOWING EVERYTHING. If we really trust HIM...we will have little or no anxiety in our daily life. If you do not get something today...trust it was not the time. However, when it is perfect, the correct or best situation will present itself to you. God helps us and steers our life to the best possible outcome.

Be happy and grateful for everything. Although something did not happen when you thought it would...does not mean it will not happen. It may mean... it was not the best time in God's eyes. And when the good things "start to fall into place"...remember you deserve it! You and God are a team.
HE will always do what is best for you...in HIS time. Why? Because HIS timing is always perfect and HE loves you greatly!

HELPING ONE ANOTHER WITH KINDNESS, FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE

We meet people all the time in our daily life...strangers we pass on the street, acquaintances and friends, new and old.

God put people in our life for many reasons...
for love, friendship, companionship, advice, help, happiness and simple joy.

Life and situations can be misleading. What may look like a happy person...really in their heart, may be lonely. A neighbor who keeps to themselves maybe... would really love a chat with you.
Sometimes when we pass someone we know and say, "I'll call you"...do we really know how much that person would love a call and some company?

We all have busy lives...but let us all do a little more for others. Do something nice for someone. Call a friend. Give a compliment to a stranger. Smile more to others you meet. Offer to help someone in need...it might be the simplest thing, but it shows support and caring...which we all need.

Do you know what I think is the greatest benefit from the creation of facebook? (and other social networking sites) It allows people to be connected and feel connected to one another. That is so important. People can reach out to old friends and meet new ones. Friendships on line are being formed and people are less lonely.

Wherever you are, you can make a difference.
GOD SOMETIMES USES US TO DO HIS WORK. So please be more aware...we always do not know... what lies behind the eyes of a person we encounter in our daily life. Give more of yourself... A little help can go a long way...
God will reward you because HE loves you and appreciates your kindness in helping others.

STAYING POSITIVE THROUGH THE JOURNEY

As my daughter Julia reminded me, it does not matter where we are today...it is where we end up...that matters the most! It is God's overall plan for our life, that is the most important. The journey will take us through the ups and downs and sometimes silent parts...but God is in control. He is navigating the journey for us. We have to want God to lead us, guide us and then allow HIM to. If we do this...then in the silent of our heart and soul...we are being lead by our Beloved Lord toward greatness.

At times, we may feel that we come to a crossroad and say, "now what? Where do we go? You are so silent Lord. What is the plan? Speak a little louder because I can't hear you". Many people today are struggling with all sorts of hardships. Some are worse than others. But each of us have trials and tribulations...and they are unique to our life. Where we are now...is temporary. God is going to propel us for our greatness and HIS. Sometimes we just need to pause...and get back our strength and then continue on our journey.

God wants us to be happy. He wants to help us. Sometimes we can not imagine the great things that God has planned for us! So let's all stay positive! Smile, help one another and enjoy the journey!

GROWING TOWARDS GOD

Each of us is at a different level...
a different stage
in our spiritual journey
We all have a unique relationship with God.

Some may like HIM
Some are close to HIM
Some may love HIM

Some may be angry with HIM and
Some may not know HIM at all

Some may want to grow closer
and others have no interest at all

We all have a choice...
TO SEEK HIM IN OUR DAILY LIFE
in our own little way
OR TO WAIT...
and meet HIM later

But in the end, it really is only between
you and God anyway...

Whatever you decide...it up to you
Jesus is loving today and I am sure
HE will not change in 10, 20, or 50 years
We are the only ones who change over time...
Jesus will remain loving and kind

God is the final destination...
HE is the last stop on your journey

For those who want to find HIM...you will
For those who wish to get closer to HIM...you will
For those who wish to wait...that is OK too...
God is not going anywhere.
When you are ready...HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU.

THE DUTIFUL HUSBAND

It takes a lot to shock me or surprise me these days. I think I have heard just about it all. However, the following true story I will share with you is an actual account of a woman dying from cancer...with only hours or possibly a day or two left to live.

The background information is something we have all heard before...a young woman in her 50's is diagnosed with uterine cancer and proceeds to do everything in her power to be cured of this disease to save her life. She is told of her battle two years ago and proceeds with the love of her life, her husband Harold, of 29 years to endure every treatment to save her life. Not only is Diane happily married to Harold for 29 years...they had also worked together in their employment for 20 years. Diane and Harold have no children.

Their former employer was a wealthy older man whom they cared for in an exclusive area of New York. Harold and Diane lived with the wealthy man full time...therefore did not need or have a home of their own. Now unable to work and care for his wife full time, Harold quits his job and takes Diane to a clean and basic residential hotel where studios are a few hundred dollars a week. This enabled them to have access to a kitchen, bed and bathroom.

All the long days and nights, the devoted husband Harold does everything to care for his beautiful ailing wife of 29 years. Every medical test and treatment he does his best to pay for ...and the rest, signs a promissory note to repay the hospital. Harold will have to work two lifetimes to repay the hospital for trying to keep his wife alive. Sadly, after all medical treatment has failed and the cancer has overtaken her body...Diane fights to stay alive to "go home" and die in Texas, where her family resides.

Diane's Birthday is on Monday...and how she wishes to make it till then to see her family. If only she could manage and hold on. With her organs shutting down, her inability to walk, fluid building up in her legs, fluid on her lungs, make it hard for her to breath and sometime speak. Diane is brave each day...in pain, however never complaining. Her doctor had given her husband that piece of paper...a prescription for a HOSPICE where Diane could go to die. However, Diane is holding on to see her family... for a trip to the airport, board a plane and then endure the 5 hour trip to "home".

Well, what is shocking about this story you might ask? You have heard perhaps similar accounts of others suffering from cancer. Well, I will share with you my shock and awe.

Remember the dutiful husband, who takes care of his wife 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the last 2 years? Alone. No family other than him here to care for her. Well, the sad realization set in that Diane would never be able to travel "home" to see her Mother, Father and family. She is too weak. No chance to make it home before her Birthday on Monday, November 2nd to die.

So what happens, you might ask? Her sister fly's in on Tuesday...who by the way is a nurse, to visit her dying sister. She had not seen her in two years. Her Mother and Father are arriving tomorrow. Diane's prayer is to stay alive till her parents arrive and to be strong, so as not to upset them. This story then takes a sickening, gut wrenching turn...the visiting sister, aka, the nurse is annoyed with the Dutiful Husband and begins to fight with him.
She yells at him, "why did you not bring my sister home? Do you not see how sick she is? Maybe she will not even be alive when my parents arrive here tomorrow? Why, why, why?"

The Dutiful Husband Harold responds, "because you never invited her. You or your parents never asked her to come home. Nobody invited her. Nobody said, "come home, so we can take care of you". Nobody said, come for even a visit. "

As I finish writing this, I just spoke with Diane. She asked me to pray for her for strength...that she could be strong for the others, to not upset them and cry. She asked for hope from God. She asked to sleep. I reminded her that the only one she should be concerned with is herself, her dutiful husband of 29 years and God. Everyone else will be fine.

I realize we should never judge others...or at least until we have walked in their shoes. I am glad that I am not walking in her sister's shoes, nor her parents who arrive tomorrow. To judge a loving husband and criticize someone who has done everything under the sun for his loving wife, is beyond nerve. To me it is unbelievable...

This is a perfect example of how people should look within themselves for their own acts of responsibility or lack of. Value your family, friends and others in the world. And then act upon it...especially if they are sick. Do not shun responsibility for caring for your own family and then cast a stone upon a lonely husband. May God give Harold peace one day in knowing that he did everything possible to care for his loving wife of 29 years. And may Diane's family...who are just flying in as their sister and daughter is dying, learn a lesson too. I think there are too many lessons here for me to mention.
God Bless You Diane. You are in my thoughts and prayers today.
And Harold...in the future, I will remind you that, "God sees everything".

MY LOVING COMPANION

Some of us may be Blessed to have a companion...a husband, wife or partner, to share our life with. We feel part of a union. We are connected somehow to this other person. It is a good feeling. We have someone to share our day with, our ups and downs, someone to speak with... who loves us unconditionally and only wants the best for us. They watch us lovingly and if we do something that is not good for us...they tell us. They tell us because they care...and only want the best for us.

Do you have a loving companion? Is there a person in your life that you connect to on a daily basis? Some people talk about meeting MR. RIGHT OR MRS. RIGHT...and feel if they do not meet them,...then they are alone. It does not have to be this way. I can share my loving companion with you, Our Beloved Lord. You see, I feel very Blessed because I found two loving companions in my life...My Beloved Lord and my husband...They are both similar and yet very different.

My Beloved Lord and I have a very strong, loving relationship. We share each day of my life here on earth together. HE is my loving companion who watches over me, loves me and guides me. I can discuss anything with HIM... I am never alone. He always has his loving eyes watching over me. That feels comforting, makes me smile and feel loved. I wish I had more of HIM sometimes on earth...but HE is probably wise, not to show up in person any time soon...I would never want HIM to leave.

I am super Blessed because I have a husband too. He also loves me, tries to guide me and makes me smile...

RIGHT NOW IN YOUR LIFE...THERE IS NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO FEEL ALONE...OR THAT THEY HAVE "No Companion" You do have one...and HIS name is Jesus! Live a special and happy life with Jesus today. Although HE may be different, HE is certainly very loving and real!

I should maybe call this post, "My Loving Companions"...because I have more than one. Think outside the box, is Jesus your loving companion? Can you do many things with HIM? Sure you can...open up your heart and mind to the many options. If you allow yourself to realize the truth...you are never alone and Jesus will gladly accompany you each day of your life. Let HIM love you...

Everyone should have AT LEAST ONE LOVING COMPANION in their life...
I am willing to share the BELOVED LORD WITH YOU!
(believe me, you are going to love HIM...)

GETTING RID OF BAD HABITS...

There are only two things you need to get rid of your bad habits. One is a willingness to change, a determination to break the habit...using your powerful mind. Our mind is a resource of strength and power. Our innate ability to change our behavior is a lot stronger than most people are aware of. God gave us a mind...to make choices with and use as a weapon of strength against things we do, that we do not want to do. Ask yourself, is this a habit you want to break? Does this habit benefit you in good ways? If you already have the idea that the habit is bad, it probably is. Use your mind to think about it when you are calm and can think clearly. Then get ready to break yourself free... from the habit or addiction.

The second thing you need, to rid yourself of a bad habit, is God. Go to HIM and discuss how you want to be freed from this routine...of this way of living, specifically the bad habit. Ask God to give you the strength to overcome the desire. Ask HIM to show you the negative effects of doing this bad habit. Sometimes, we even need to feel physically sick for our bodies to tell us, "this is not good for us". God can allow this to happen for our benefit. HE will use all HIS power and wisdom to help you get rid of your bad habits.

God's mind is very strong...and coupled with your desire, determination within your own mind, you can BREAK ANY HABIT.

Bad habits are just routines that we allow ourselves to live by. We do not need to do something that we are not proud of or do not like. Decide in your mind, that enough is enough...then go to GOD AND ASK FOR HIS HELP!
Take one beautiful day at a time...see the beauty in everything that you have...not what you are giving up. Give up bad habits and replace them with good things. You will feel better about yourself...and God will be more than happy to help you. GOD ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR YOU. Put HIS power and the power of your mind to work for you...not against you.

WE CAN OVERCOME ANYTHING WITH GOD!

JESUS IS FAITHFUL

The meaning of the word Faithful is enormous...
FAITHFUL
HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL
Hebrews 10:23

Jesus is honest
Jesus is trustworthy
Jesus will never break a promise to you
Jesus will provide for all your needs
Jesus is there for you in good times and bad
Jesus will never turn HIS back on you
Jesus will never leave you hanging in the cold
Jesus will come to your rescue
Jesus will appreciate you
Jesus will value you
Jesus will never tell you a lie
Jesus will always deliver
Jesus will protect you from all evil
Jesus will always love you
Jesus will always be your friend
Jesus promises us that we will never die
Jesus promises us that we will have a place near HIS Father's home
Jesus promises us eternal life

These are just some of the important things that Our Beloved Lord promises to you and me.

HE IS FAITHFUL TO US...WITHOUT US EVEN ASKING HIM TO BE.
JESUS ALWAYS OFFERS HIMSELF TO US.

Don't you wish you knew a few more people like Jesus in your life?
Or...do you even know anyone like HIM at all?

Show HIM your appreciation...
Value Jesus!
Today and everyday should be called
JESUS APPRECIATION DAY!
HE is the one person who truly deserves it...

MOVING ON AND LETTING GO OF THE PAST

Everyone has a past. Some good parts and some sad. If you are holding onto sad feelings and memories...and they are making you feel down, then ask God to get rid of them for you. It is not good for you to live in the past, nor to be unhappy.

WE CANNOT CONTROL EVERYTHING...IN FACT VERY LITTLE. So turn over your past to God and ask HIM to help you move on with your life. Ask HIM to heal you. TIME IS A HEALER AND WILL WIPE AWAY YOUR TEARS. We can not always understand why we were in certain situations or relationships. It may be a mystery. We may not be able to see the benefit, however, maybe God had one for us. All we can do is try and remember the good times and learn from our bad experiences. Continue to grow as an individual and walk with God by your side.

The future is not here yet. All good things are possible with God! As we continue on our life journey, evaluate your experiences honestly. What did we learn from them? Were you really happy? How can we alter our behaviour in the future to have a better outcome? Do not criticize yourself, that is not productive. Nobody is perfect. Just look within yourself and take responsibility for your own actions.

LET GOD HEAL YOUR PAST
AND LET HIM HELP YOU WITH A BEAUTIFUL FUTURE!
If you allow God to lead you in your life...
the outcome will be HIS choice for you.
Let Go and Let God...HE knows best...
And HE loves you very much!

20 MINUTES TO LIVE

If you knew you had 20 minutes left to live on earth, what would you do? How would you spend the last 20 minutes of your life? This is a big question...one that might require a lot of thought.

Try to get in the mind set...20 minutes left... Is there something you would try and do before your time was up? Would you be surrounded by your family and friends? Would you pray? Would you reach out to God? Would you be scared? Just writing this, I just had to exhale...not because of a fear from dying, I am not afraid of dying. It was the idea of my beautiful children surrounding me and the thought of trying to say goodbye...which would be so difficult. And of course, my husband too.

But that would be the LAST 10 MINUTES OF MY LIFE...spending it with my family and perhaps, some very close friends. I would be sad because I would miss them and they would miss me. I would not be afraid of "what happens next" or "where I was going". I feel Blessed to know those answers from Our Beloved Lord.

But what about the FIRST 10 MINUTES...how would I spend it, you might ask. My passion, love, knowledge and devotion is such, that I would want to spend the first 10 minutes of the last 20 minutes of my life, talking to the world about
HOW GREAT THE LORD IS!

Yes, you heard me correct. If I knew that I had 20 minutes left to live...I would hope that God permitted me to have access to a Cable/TV channel, such as CNN and I would be able to share with the whole world, all I knew about Jesus and why others should love HIM.

HE IS SO GREAT AND LOVING...AND WHAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO KNOW, THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD KNOW AND EXPERIENCE. If others knew what I knew, everyone would SEEK GOD.

Please do not misinterpret my love and devotion for my family...however, if there was a media outlet for the world, my first duty would be to you all...on behalf of Jesus. I would try to convince you, with each precious second, of why you should reach out to HIM now...not later or perhaps at the end of your life.

I know what kind of person Jesus is...and how important it is for you all to know HIM. YOU CAN ALL BENEFIT FROM KNOWING AND LOVING JESUS! Do you think I would waste the last 10 minutes of my life, if HE were not so important? HE IS.

But please do not worry...I still have a long life to live...my work for the Lord is not nearly finished...it is just flourishing. The Lord says, "When I am tired, I will tell HIM and then I will go home". Well, I never get tired of speaking about Our Lord...so it looks like you all,
will be stuck with me, for a long time. I hope you do not mind.

THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE

What is the purpose of you life? Do you know or think you know? Do you feel it changes throughout time? As there are seasons in life...are there seasons in our personal life...such as growing up, studying, finding a career we love, getting married and maybe having children?
Is there one major purpose in our life or are there many? So many questions and maybe not enough answers...

WE ALL WANT TO FEEL THAT OUR LIFE HAS MEANING...A PURPOSE.
And it does...we might not see it now or understand it, but we have a purpose and a promise from God.

PURPOSE
THE LORD WILL FULFILL HIS PURPOSE FOR YOU.
Psalm 138:8

Whether we have one main purpose or many...GOD WILL MAKE SURE WE FULFILL HIS DREAM FOR US...HIS PURPOSE! Which is great! Now we do not have to worry about, what is our purpose, finding it and then trying to figure out how we are going to get it done?

RELY ON GOD...GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO HELP YOU. GOD'S WAYS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST. LET'S FIND OUT WHAT GOD'S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE IS...

It is easier than you think. Just TURN TO GOD...AND SAY "HI, I WANT TO KNOW THE PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE. PLEASE GUIDE ME, BE MY FRIEND, HELP ME IN EVERYTHING". Remember HIM throughout your days and keep your heart open to God.

The Lord will fulfill the purpose for your life...but it would be great if you and HIM, did it together. Go to Jesus...HE is so nice and loving. Become devoted to HIM. Deepen your friendship with HIM.
Jesus will respond to you in many ways...and I bet the purpose of your life or purposes, will reveal itself to you...as you grow closer to HIM! God is the best!

FINDING INNER PEACE IN YOUR LIFE

You can not buy peace. If you have a million dollars in the bank or have a great high paying job...it does not come with inner peace. Even our family and friends cannot bestow upon you real inner peace. It can only come from one place...GOD. Inner peace is a gift from above to you. It involves a closeness between you and God. Once you receive it...you will feel different. You will have this calming feeling of joy and contentment in your life. Fear is eliminated and replaced with an inner smile...and a knowing that your life will be OK.

How do you receive it? I can not give it to you nor anyone else on earth. We can not purchase it at a store or receive it at a spa... ONLY GOD CAN GIVE YOU HIS PEACE...JUST FOR THE ASKING! All that you need is a willingness to turn to HIM. Develop or deepen your friendship with HIM by turning to God and being more aware of HIM in your life. Let God in your heart. Unlike some other relationships on earth, HE will not hurt you. As you grow closer to HIM, your perspective changes. When HE gives you his inner peace, you will know it! It has this calming effect upon you...that nobody can harm you and everything will be OK in your life. You will feel HIS love and companionship and it is beyond great! Clarity sets in, wisdom follows and your life becomes more simplistic, yet fuller. Full with all the important things...not shopping, money or an ego driven mind. Love and compassion takes over...and you change, from the inside out.

God's peace is priceless...ask for it, receive it and then enjoy!

NEVER GIVE UP FAITH IN GOD OR YOURSELF

Always believe that God has great plans for your life. Always strive towards your goals, no matter how difficult they may seem. Great dreams take great work...be prepared to work hard to reach them. Keep going even if others do not understand your journey...it is yours, not theirs. Believe in yourself, that you are capable of achieving great successes and then nothing will stand in your way.

Never give up believing that God wants to help you. Although sometimes we may feel stuck in a situation or dead end road...GOD CAN CHANGE OUR LIFE OVERNIGHT. Talk to God about your goals and dreams. HE is waiting for the correct time to put everything into action. So we must prepare ourselves by thinking positive, going for whatever we wish to accomplish and never believe that we are limited in some way. WE ARE NOT LIMITED WITH GOD. He is our partner in life. God sees and knows the desires of your heart.

If you are not sure which direction to take in your life, ask HIM to point you in the right one. Have GOD lead you...HE will.

Hold onto your faith with all your might. Believe that God can...he has the power to do great things. IT WILL HAPPEN! Never give up faith in God or yourself. Together, you both can achieve all your dreams! It is never too late...

TEENAGERS: THE SECRETS TO GROWING UP WISELY

Let me share with you the best advice I know. Being a teenager is fun and exciting as you grow into adulthood. Middle School, High School and College are great times for you to become and blossom into who you are meant to be. There will be times that are challenging with school work, making friends, hanging out with the "right crowd" and choosing the right path.

But you can make WISE DECISIONS, GET THE HELP YOU NEED AND GET THROUGH ANYTHING WITH GOD BY YOUR SIDE. You see, God is really watching and can participate in your life. There are three very important people you may want to rely on for help. Build your relationship with one, two or all three. You pick and decide.

ALMIGHTY FATHER
If you want to talk to a "Father Figure" or "Grandfather Figure"...go to HIM.
He is all wise, loving and powerful. HE will take you under HIS wing and protect you from any harm. HE will help you grow up into the man or woman you are destined to become... Ask Father for advice in any situation and become devoted to HIM. Father is loving and will guide you with everything. Think of HIM as an extra FATHER....BECAUSE HE REALLY IS.

JESUS CHRIST
HE is my best friend. HE is super powerful, cool, has a lot of patience and forgives us for our mistakes. However, HE will not let anyone "bully you around".
Jesus is the MOST POWERFUL NAME IN THE UNIVERSE...just saying "it", makes you stronger and HIS HELP IS ON THE WAY. Jesus can be the best friend you grow up with now...and keep throughout your lifetime. By getting close to Jesus, you will be more confident, make wiser choices and have a really cool powerful friend. HE will help you with everything.

HOLY SPIRIT
Let the Holy Spirit walk with you everywhere, sorta like a guardian angel. Open your heart and mind to the will and love of God...and you will find the HOLY SPIRIT. The Holy Spirit can guide you through everything too. HE is that "little voice" inside of you that talks to you. Always listen to that little voice...for it will always be correct. For example, if you are running out of the house and forget your phone, the "little voice" might say, "Go back and get it". But you think no, I don't need it...I am already running late, so I will just go. Then later on...you realize, "I should have taken my phone. I need it". Now I don't have it. ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP YOU...AND YOU WILL SOMEHOW FIND A PHONE TO BORROW. BUT THE IMPORTANT LESSON IS ALWAYS LISTEN TO THAT INNER VOICE...it will never be wrong.

To have an easier, better life...get close to God. If you are smart you will. Let God guide you. Get rid of worrying, learn to lean on and trust in HIM. There is no problem too big for God to solve! God loves you and will never let you down.

I wish I knew these secrets when I was growing up... but hey, I KNOW IT NOW. Better late than never...

GOD NEVER BREAKS A PROMISE

When God makes a promise to you...it will always come true. Talk with God about something deep in your heart that is very important to you. Sit alone and open your heart, mind and soul to HIM. Tell HIM how you feel and what you would like to happen in your life. It may be about a relationship, your marriage. an illness or a job.

Bless yourself...In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Hold onto a sacred image of JESUS or Rosary Beads if you wish...while you talk...which is really called praying. Then sit quietly and listen for a loving voice in your mind...in the center of your forehead. God may decide to speak directly to you and the thoughts and words you hear...are from HIM. Or, if God chooses, you may have a feeling come over you of peace and a reassuring feeling, that yes, everything will be alright.

Ask God what is in your heart...and if HE responds with a YES...please know that...in HIS time, your prayers will be answered. If God makes a promise to you...HE will never break it.
No matter what the circumstances may look like, GOD has the power to make HIS PROMISE TO YOU COME TRUE. Never give up hope in God...

GOD IS THE ONE PERSON YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON. HE NEVER BREAKS A PROMISE!

THE CLOSER YOU GET TO GOD...THE HAPPIER YOU WILL BE!

Be happy for all the good things in your life now. We do not know what tomorrow may bring, but with GOD...all things can improve and get better. When you turn to God in your life, you will have a greater sense of freedom and excitement. You will become a wiser, better, stronger person and you will no longer live in fear.

You will not have to worry about money and your health, just as two examples. HE will take care of all your needs and whatever medical problems may come your way, know that the best physician, Jesus, stands at your side with HIS healing power.

Jesus wants you to be happy now in your life. Our life is constantly changing, evolving and how we view things today, may change in the future. Think positive always! See the goodness and beauty in your life. Value your family and friends for they are treasures from God. Whatever you really need, GOD WILL PROVIDE! Maybe not in our timetable, but in HIS...and God's timing is always perfect.

God does not want you to focus on the negative in your life. Instead, spend some time focusing on HIM and discuss any hardships you are going through. HE will listen and then watch as you start to feel and see God's work in your life.

THE CLOSER YOU GET TO GOD...THE HAPPIER YOU WILL BE.
NO MATTER WHAT MATERIAL POSSESSIONS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE...
ONE THING IS CERTAIN,
YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INNER JOY, HAPPINESS AND PEACE FROM GOD.

GOD is very generous too! HE has many surprises ahead for you in your life.
Start celebrating the great life you have today...because with God, it will only get better.

JESUS SAYS, "HAVE FAITH THROUGH ALL THE DARKNESS"

My Children,
(As dictated by Our Lord)

I am here for all of you. During periods of your life, there may be darkness filled with sadness and difficulties. But these times are only temporary. They have no staying power over me. I am the power who gives light to the world and sustains them. I am the one who will restore you in every way necessary for this life and the next.

Your faith may be tested at times by the world you live in and what you see. But my love and goodness will prevail in a world where there is illness and suffering. Please turn to me for everything.

I have messengers in the world to bring you signs of hope and love. I know what you are battling now and my love can sustain you. ALL YOU NEED IS FAITH IN ME. Yes, that is right. FAITH THAT I AM HERE AND CAN HELP YOU. I WILL HELP YOU.

There will be trails and tribulations on earth. The key to getting past all of it, is by uniting yourself with me. With me, you will feel my security, love and peace. You will not waver. You will remain strong through any storm. Your faith in me will carry you and I will be guiding you through every struggle and obstacle.

Do not worry my Beloved Friends and Children. Instead, lean on me and bring me your fears and anxieties. I will remove them from you. If you TRUST IN ME, I WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.

Love,
Jesus

JESUS SAYS, "DO NOT BE SCARED, AFRAID"

To My Children,
(As dictated by Our Lord)

Today so many of you are scared, you are living in fear. Your hearts are choking and your chest is tight. There is so much unrest in your life and fear is engulfing you at each step.

Please do not be scared. Resist your fear and instead turn to me. I can calm you down and give you the support, comfort, love and peace you so desperately need. At times in our lives, we may experience turmoil and events that we did not anticipate, however I have anticipated them and can hold you during these times. You are not alone.

Take a moment to stop, exhale and breath. Go to a calming image in your mind and look to me. I want to be there for you and I can be there for you, if YOU ALLOW ME TO.

I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU IN A STORM. Now might not be the time to try and get closer to me...but THE TIME TO TRUST ME. Give me your fears and your scared heart and I will replace it with peace and security.

WE CAN GET THROUGH ALL THINGS TOGETHER. TRUST IN ME AND HAVE FAITH THAT I AM HERE AND LOVE YOU. I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. PLEASE DO NOT BE SCARED.

Yours,
Jesus

WHITNEY HOUSTON REALLY LOVES JESUS, AS SHE TOLD OPRAH AND ME...

Watching Whitney on Oprah this week...was a testament to her faith and trust in Our Lord. You see, Whitney really does love Jesus, with her whole being. I did not learn this only from watching her on Oprah...but from meeting Whitney in person and talking about Jesus for 20 minutes.

In 2001, we happened to both be on a Disney Cruise...and on one early afternoon, after winning "Disney Bingo", I collected my prizes and was sitting in the lounge sipping on a Bahama Mama, courtesy of Disney. As I gazed out the window and daydreamed, not realizing, suddenly behind me...where a hundred or so people once stood...was no one. I heard a voice say, "Excuse me, is that a Newport cigarette? Could I please have one"? I slowly turned around in my swivel chair and standing next to me was the beautiful Whitney Houston and husband Bobby Brown. At that moment...I was in shock and quickly looked around the room. It was empty, except for Whitney, Bobby, two security guards and myself.

I said, "Are you two, who I think you are, you know what I mean"? She smiled and said, "Yes". I knew it was her, one of my favorite recording artists in the world...and looking down at her finger, was the same huge, beautiful engagement ring seen on her CD. Around her neck hung low, was an amazing cross...

Seeing that beautiful cross on Whitney, easily allowed me to bring up Jesus and let her know...what a special person she was and that her voice was a gift from the LORD. I said , "He uses you to reach others" and I had a concrete example.

In the year 2000, I was the President of a small Westchester, NY radio station and produced a program entitled "Seeking God Together". I needed a theme song for the show and I prayed about it. Both the Host, Patricia Ditrio and I, came up with the same song. It was entitled, "I Believe In You And Me" and we played it as an introduction to the program. I thought this is the perfect time to ask Whitney...did she mind me using her song? It also illustrated how God uses Whitney's voice and song to reach others in HIS work. Feeling happy and in shock talking with Whitney, I could not remember the name of the song. So I sang it...yes, that is correct...I sang to Whitney Houston. I said, "Do you recognize the song"? She laughed and said, "Bobby, isn't Kathleen so funny, of course I recognize the song, it's mine and I sang it".

We all laughed. But for 20 minutes, we talked about how Jesus is both our best friend and Saviour. She had incredible faith. She loved Jesus and was completely devoted to HIM. In between our talk, I managed to get three kisses and hugs...because later on...I might have thought, "Gosh, I never got a hug or kiss".

Regardless of what Whitney was going through at the time, her love of Jesus was evident and her commitment to HIM. I knew that Jesus would carry her through anything. Whitney was so down to earth, loving and sweet. She is one of God's angels... in her heart and voice. I kept Whitney in my prayers always...because she loved Jesus so much...and she was one of the nicest people that I had ever met...so humble and unassuming.

I am proud of you Whitney and I love you!
Warmest regards to you my friend...
Love,
Kathleen Frangeskos

JESUS WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU...TODAY

It is true! Jesus really will do anything for you. All you have to do is ASK.
If you need something, you will have it. It is on the way...

If you want something, you might get it. It depends on how much happiness it will bring you
and if it is good for you.
You deserve all good things and God knows it.
TRUST HIM TO GIVE YOU WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR LIFE.
Sometimes we think we know, what is good for us...but we do not.
HE KNOWS.

If you need a favor, go to Jesus and ASK.
HE is very kind, merciful and generous.
Sometimes we get ourselves in a situation,
HE can help us get out of it.
HE DOES NOT MIND.

Sometimes we need to learn lessons in life...to help us grow, learn from our mistakes and gain wisdom. Even in these times...Jesus is there, closely watching . HE is nurturing us through our growth. HE IS NOT MEAN OR CRUEL.
HE does not want us to keep repeating our mistakes over and over again...so HE ALLOWS US TO LEARN.

JESUS LOVES US SO MUCH...THERE IS NOTHING
HE WOULD NOT DO FOR YOU.
GO TO HIM, ASK HIM FOR ANYTHING...YOU WILL RECEIVE IT.
(as long as it is good for you)
HAVE FAITH, JESUS WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS LIKE?

Jesus is like no other person on earth or in the world. HE does not walk around on earth the way we do...hence, it may be more challenging to get to know HIM. We can not just invite HIM over to our house for coffee or a glass of wine and sit down and chat in person...as we may do with our other friends. Therein may lie the challenge and difficulty to get to know HIM better...for many of us.

We can read the Bible, attend weekly worship at our church or community center...but to really experience Jesus, we have to build our relationship with HIM...in our own way and HIS.

Each of us can experience a special relationship with Jesus. It first has to start, with a willingness on our part... because Jesus is already waiting for us.
At different or difficult times in our life, we may decide to turn to HIM.

If you want to feel his presence in your life...start to acknowledge HIM each day. Think of HIM in your heart and mind...and just as you would a friend in person, talk to HIM. HE can hear you and will respond. Tell HIM how you are feeling that day, what is worrying you or what you feel you need to accomplish and need help with. Jesus will be thrilled for you to come to HIM and share your thoughts.

Ten years ago...after I lost my Mother, I would sit at night and reach spiritual and religious books to learn about the afterlife. But always while doing so...I kept a beautiful picture of Jesus' Sacred Heart near me that my Mother had given me. While I would read, I would glance at HIS image and over a short period of time...felt HIM drawing me closer to HIM. My primary interest became HIM...instead of any book. My loving friendship and relationship with Jesus continued to grow. HE made himself known to me...in many ways. As I would stare at HIS image, HIS picture would glorify and change incredibly beautifully. HE would always BLESS ME...I could actually see HIS hand moving, as HE made the sign of the cross before me.
HE WAS ALIVE...AND RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES! It was amazing...and took my breath away. My heart would beat faster as I felt I could barely breath or move. Then, I was Blessed to HEAR HIS VOICE...NOT ONE NIGHT OR TWO...BUT MANY...AND CONTINUES TODAY.

I felt incredibly blessed because I got to experience Jesus in a way that was so real...it would be impossible to ignore, forget or not want to spend time with HIM each day. That began 10 years ago...and each day, our relationship still continues to grow and deepen. I have a very intimate, loving relationship with Jesus. I asked HIM for spiritual gifts and I have received many.

If you want to deepen your relationship with Jesus, you can. Just have the desire and put a little time aside for HIM each day or as often as you can. Perhaps while your driving to work or sitting in a waiting room...think of HIM, talk with HIM and be aware of HIS presence. Ask HIM to communicate to you in a way that is appropriate for you...

In today's world, there are many people who come in and out of our lives. Some bring us joy and friendship...others may cause us pain. Some are helpful, while others may take advantage. Let Jesus become your best friend. Let HIM watch over you. Let HIM love you. YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON HIM TO TREAT YOU WELL AND WITH LOVE.

What is your relationship with Jesus like? If you would like it to blossom and feel really cared for and loved...go to HIM. Invite HIM in your heart and home...YOU might not see HIM sitting on the sofa in front of you...BUT I GUARANTEE, HE IS THERE.
Let your relationship with Jesus be special!

JESUS SAYS, "TURN TO ME"

Dear My Beloved Children and Friends,
(As Dictated by Our Lord)

Where do you go when you need help? Who do you turn to?
Many loving people are put in your life to love you, guide you and support you...
however, I prefer to always be the one you turn to first.

Once you allow yourself to grow closer to me, naturally your heart, soul and sometimes anxious mind, will remember that I am the one who can make everything all right. I do not want you out there alone, feeling that you do not have a safe refuge. I am your true refuge. In my heart is where I will hold you and care for you. All your troubles and concerns can be turned over to me. I am aware of everything in your life and can certainly change the outcome, if you allow me to.

TURN TO ME. Whether it be to celebrate with good news or to cry when you are upset. I know the rumblings in your heart and I wish to give you all my peace, security and love. I wish to fill the world with HOPE AGAIN. It has been far too long with so many of my children living in hopelessness. Nothing is hopeless. Nothing. Miracles can happen and do happen.

All I ask is for your love and attention from this noisy world. I do not blame you for sometimes forgetting to turn to me. There appear to be so many remedies on earth for everything, but in reality, you need so little to be happy and loved. I can provide what you need. Ask me. Please do not be shy or feel unworthy. You are worthy of everything that I could offer. Please accept my love and generosity.

It is good to turn to family and friends on earth, do not misunderstand me. However, our relationship is everlasting and permanent. I wish to be included in your life and at the top of your list. Your list may be long, for that is good.

Build on important things and virtues in your lifetime on earth. Love me and one another. Help others whenever possible. See the good in everything. Know that I am with you throughout all. I will comfort you in all ways. Believe in me, have faith that I exist and love you, regardless of what others may say. They do not know the truth. I AM THE TRUTH.

TURN TO ME AND I WILL LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERY MATTER IN YOUR LIFE. AND AT THE END OF YOUR LIFE ON EARTH, I WILL BRING YOU HOME WITH ME TO MY FATHER'S HOUSE. YOU WILL REST FOREVER IN PEACE. YOU WILL BE REUNITED WITH YOUR LOVED ONES WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU AND YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY. I PROMISE YOU ALL THIS.

TURN TO ME AND LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU NOW. OPEN YOUR HEART AND SAY YOU WANT ME TO...I WILL.

Love your Saviour,
Jesus

ACHIEVING OUR DREAMS AND GOALS

It does not matter how young or old you are...
if you have a dream to fulfill, a goal you would like realized...
Go to God and discuss it with HIM.

Some dreams or passions that we have
are put in our mind and hearts by God.
We may be being led down that path...

Continue that pursuit. Do not be afraid to dream...
Your goals may seem unreachable...but they are not!
It takes one step at a time...and if it is God"s will...
the doors will be opened for you.
You will see that things start to work out toward that direction.
Keep going.

Sometimes the evil one will try and put road blocks in your path...
He will do this to discourage you, make you think your dream is ridiculous and it is not
God's will. But keep going...do not give up easily.

Ultimately, if it is GOOD FOR YOU
AND GOD WANTS IT TO HAPPEN...
IT WILL !

So you must knock on each door of opportunity... that you see in front of you...
Keep a positive frame of mind and know that God is with you...each step of the way.

God loves us and wants us to be happy.
HE knows what is in our heart
and also knows our potential.

If for some reason it does not work out...after you REALLY TRIED
then it is only because GOD HAS SOMETHING BETTER PLANNED FOR YOU!

This is not a theory. It is fact.
I have learned many things from God and know this for sure.
Never turn your back on God...because you do not know
what surprise may be right around the corner.

In today's uncertain times in our economy and a lack of security in employment...
(if we still have a job)...do not be afraid.
GOD IS HERE.
TURN TO HIM WITH YOUR DREAMS AND GOALS...
BECAUSE HE REALLY IS ..."THE BIG BOSS".

LET GOD HEAL YOUR PAST

We all have memories...some good and some bad.
They are comprised of people we met, situations we were in...
relationships that brought us love and joy and
others that caused us pain in the end.

How do we move forward in our life?
Our minds so often replay the
events that unfolded...
which still cause us heartache and pain.
What do we do?
Should we analyze every detail of our past and
see what we could have done differently?
Maybe...if it can help us grow as individuals and become stronger people.
We can try and be objective and look at our previous situation...and see where it led us.

However, we cannot change the past...and that is OK.
We should accept our responsibility and our role in it and then grow from it.
GOD WAS IN YOUR PAST AND IS ALSO IN YOUR PRESENT LIFE TODAY.
HE knows how you may have suffered and wants you to turn to HIM and move forward.

Now is a time to heal. Turn to God and ask HIM to comfort you in any painful memories you may have. Ask HIM to make you strong to get through any situation you find yourself in now.
GOD does not want you to beat yourself up with regrets and "what ifs?"...

In order to move forward in your life,
ask GOD to help you.
HE WILL.
We are really a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for.

If something did not work out before...I bet there is a good reason for it.
You may not understand or know it...but God does. In time, HE may reveal things to you and you will have a new awareness that says "OK, now I know why it did not work".
It may be a job you did not get...or a relationship which ended and broke your heart.

God does not want you to harbor bad and painful thoughts. Ask HIM to help you learn anything you can from that experience and then quickly move forward in your life. There are many chapters in our lives...and God has the next one planned for you.

Grieve your past if you must...but do it along side God.
You will feel his love, comfort and peace...and soon a feeling of calm will come over you.
You will realize that HE is with you on this journey and does not want you to feel hurt and sad.

St. Padre Pio once said, "Thank God for everything"... because we never know what could have been. Things could always have been a lot worse...you just were not aware of it.

Now the past is over and time to look forward to new
and exciting things to come...
Live through each experience with GOD...
and no matter what the world throws at you...
you will survive!

JESUS SAYS, "HAVE HOPE"

To My Friends,
(As Dictated by Our Lord)

Never give up Hope...in yourself, in me

and in your situation.

Hope is what keeps the spirit alive
it brings excitement and yearning.

You have to believe and know,

that you are capable of so much,
even though now, you may not see it.
Being hopeful will give you positive energy

to accomplish your goals.

When doubt and fear set in, they destroy man's dreams and leave him empty. They strip him of everything. This is what the evil one wishes to do.

In these times of confusion and doubt for so many of you, STAY HOPEFUL THAT THINGS WILL IMPROVE...BECAUSE THEY WILL. Your individual situation I can see and help you with. Do not despair, for you have not seen the final result of my hand in your life. You only have a glimpse of what I have planned for you and can do.

Being hopeful is knowing that

I AM AT WORK IN YOUR LIFE.

HAVE HOPE IN ME!
Have HOPE that Jesus, your Beloved Friend,
will always be there for you and help you in everything.
Please turn to me.

NEVER, NEVER, GIVE UP HOPE
THAT I CAN HEAR YOU AND SEE YOU.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

HOPE FOR GOOD THINGS AND YOU WILL RECEIVE THEM...
FOR ALL GOOD THINGS COME FROM ME...AND MY FATHER.

I Love you.

Sincerely,
Jesus

LET GOD LEAD YOU

Life is like a road...you can go straight, make turns, pull over to a rest stop, hug the road as it curves in different directions and sometimes try and get off...and once in a while, you may see a sign for a U-Turn and take it...and then you are heading back.

Life can be confusing as we navigate through it. Some people today are using GPS, a machine which will guide them on the road...even that does not always get you there the best way. People still have trouble and may get lost.

There is a better way to help you see the road ahead...
which is really your life here on earth.
Simpler, Safer and Guaranteed to not get you lost...and make sure you arrive, where and when you should...IT IS CALLED GOD.

Let God Lead You...
It is so simple...
All you have to do is ASK HIM...
"Please lead me God, in everything"

Trust in God and have Faith
that HE loves you and wants the best for you.
HE is honored to lead you!
Now you do not have to worry
about confusing signs in your life...
which way to turn or go...
BECAUSE YOU ASKED GOD TO LEAD YOU.

TELL GOD TO MAKE THE ROAD CLEAR
AND OPEN FOR YOU TO SEE...
TELL HIM TO GO FIRST AND
THEN YOU WILL FOLLOW.

TELL HIM TO STOP YOU
IF YOU BEGIN TO GO THE WRONG WAY...

GOD NEVER GETS LOST and
traveling with HIM everywhere
will keep you safe
and give you peace of mind.

In today's world especially, where things may not always be "so clear"...
make sure you CALL ON GOD TO LEAD YOU IN EVERYTHING.

HE WILL !

FRIENDS ARE A GIFT FROM GOD

Cherish your friends...
they were put in your life
to bring you joy, love and support!

Good friends are one way that God has
Blessed you here on earth...

Good friends can make you laugh and
they are here to shower you with love...

Good friends can hear your troubles and
reassure you that things will be OK...

Good friends will be by your side in
good times and bad...

Good friends forgive you
when you hurt them or others
and do foolish things...

Good friends do not judge you
they accept you as you are...

God sometimes speaks to you
through your friends...
HE offers guidance...

Friends can help each other grow into
who we are to become...

If one friend is closer to God
than the other...
may they bring the other one closer to HIM

God puts or arranges for people to meet
and form a friendship...
It is up to them to foster it with
love and unselfishness...

Offer yourself to others...just as Jesus does...
HE loves us unconditionally and is
a GREAT FRIEND!..

VALUE GOD, YOUR FRIENDS AND YOURSELF...
LOVE GOD, YOUR FRIENDS AND YOURSELF...

Friends are a gift from God !

FOR BETTER OR WORSE...

This sounds like part of a Wedding Vow...

GOD has been saying this to us since we were born...
HE will love us, provide for us, care for us
in good times and bad...
in sickness and in health...

But unlike a spouse or partner on earth...
THERE IS NO, "TILL DEATH DO US PART".
There is no separation or divorce...

HE IS WITH US
TODAY AND ALWAYS
AND YOU CAN FEEL THE LOVE
AND BENEFITS IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF
TO GET CLOSE TO HIM...

GOD has already made a commitment to us...
All you have to say is "I Do Too"...not with words, but in your heart.

It may sound silly
but God can be everything to you...
Friend, Brother, Father, Parent, Uncle, Cousin and yes...
like a spouse that will love you, protect you and provide for you...
for the rest of your life...
(which is a very long time)

GOD will always be faithful,
HE will never desert you,
HE will never criticize you.

HE WILL LOVE YOU
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
HE WILL PROTECT YOU
HE WILL PROVIDE EVERYTHING YOU NEED...

Life appears to be getting more difficult for people ...
as I listen to them discussing their life and problems.
The future seems uncertain, they worry about today and tomorrow...
People are just trying to get by...

One BIG IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TODAY
IS ADD GOD TO YOUR LIFE...

MAKE HIM AN ACTIVE PART ...
THINK OF HIM, TALK WITH HIM, RELY ON HIM
AND YOUR LIFE WILL GET BETTER, MUCH BETTER !

FOR BETTER OR WORSE...
HE will be by your side...
That is HIS PROMISE !

(and believe me... JESUS NEVER BREAKS A PROMISE)

TRUST IN GOD OR LIVE IN FEAR ?

I will not be afraid of the future. The world is a big place and there are always things happening and changing in our lives. GOD may have a new direction for us...of dreams and goals to fulfill. Can we see the change happening or better yet...feel it ?

I usually can. So I have a choice to make. Do I allow myself to become afraid of the change...that may happen or DO I TRUST IN GOD MORE?

Change can happen so slowly, that sometimes you do not even notice...or you may not want to notice. THINK OF GOD.

Change can also happen at a rate that you can see and anticipate the action. You gain strength and feel prepared for the outcome. LET GOD WALK YOU THROUGH THE CHANGE ... YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IT... IN A BETTER WAY.

Then there is the "unexpected" change...usually the worst kind. A child goes off to war, an unexpected illness in the family, diagnosis of Cancer for anyone you love , a death of a loved one, unemployment or you find yourself financially broke because of this economy...and just surviving becomes a full time job. CLING ON TO GOD ! HE WILL HELP YOU.

Waiting to hear news of an outcome may also be brutal...BUT REFUSE TO LIVE IN FEAR.
KNOW THAT GOD WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF US...WHETHER YOU ARE AWARE OF IT OR NOT.

I know what I preach. These are not just words to fill a page. They are from my first hand experiences with Jesus.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE TRUST IN GOD in your current and future situations ...
NO MATTER WHAT !!!
Ask HIM for his help...
HE can hear you and HE loves you.
Nothing is impossible with God!

HAVE FAITH THAT EVERYTHING WILL TURN OUT
FOR THE BEST IN YOUR LIFE!
We can not always see the benefits to some things...but God has a reason.

So what do you prefer? You can make a choice right now.
Trust in God or live in fear of the unknown?

LISTENING TO MICHAEL JACKSON

How do you write about someone that you really do not know? It may be difficult.
In thinking about Michael Jackson, his sudden death and most importantly now...
his three beautiful children he leaves behind...I came across a song he recorded, which I had never heard before.

The song is entitled "Childhood" and is from the movie FREE WILLY. Listening to the words, I was struck because...it really sounded like Michael Jackson trying to explain himself to us, what he is like and all about. The lyrics say, "Have you seen my childhood? Before you judge me, try to love me"...

As you read these words that I write, I have this beautiful song playing in the background.

This song sounds so sad...a boy, a man trying to capture their childhood...with such a sweet and innocent voice. Is this a real example of ART IMITATING LIFE? Perhaps the critics and some of us judged him incorrectly. Until we walk in one's shoes...it is hard to comprehend what is going on in one's own mind. We make judgments based on their actions...but what if their actions are just a circumstance of their growing up and environment?

I keep thinking how horrible it must have been to be accused of child molestation, if you were really innocent? If by your inappropriate actions, for example, hanging out with 12 or 13 year old boys...and them being "your" friend...was misconstrued...

Michael Jackson was a unique individual with superb and extraordinary talent...his demeanor was so soft spoken and in listening to interviews of him speak...the words "God Bless You", seem to ring out...

Perhaps we will never know all the details of his life...and that is fair. Although he is and was a public figure...each of us, should be entitled to some privacy. Just because we live a public life...should not mean, one does not have private moments...
which are entitled to remain private.

I always liked Michael Jackson and during his trial...I was not sure what to think, guilt or innocence. I think looking at his appearance, although unique and different...caused many of us to prejudge him. I believe overall he had a heart of gold and cared about people intensely... I pray and ask God now to take care of his three beautiful children here on earth. Comfort his family and friends...and may God give Michael Jackson...all he ever needed...in Heaven. May he never have to search for more...

Rest in peace... and then light up Heaven with your dancing and singing! In Heaven, you will be embraced, loved and not judged. Put on a few concerts up there, if you wish...but save one for me...if you don't mind, for when I arrive.

Love you...

GOD HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT !

GOD HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT! HE really does. So there is no need to stress yourself out, trying to figure "it all out".

Foremost, decide to live your life having TRUST IN GOD. Really trust HIM, know that HE will never ruin your life. Go to God, in your own way... maybe a conversation and talk to HIM. Maybe you want to sit quietly and just know that "HE IS THERE"... feeling all that you have bottled up inside. ASK HIM TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER AND RESOLVE IT FOR YOU.

One of my favorite ways to be close to GOD is to sit, with his beautiful SACRED HEART IMAGE, look intently at HIM, talk and know HE is right there listening and feeling everything I am going through. Then, I want HIM to take all my frustration or fear or 'WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS BOTHERING ME" and get rid of it, quickly.

AND WHEN THE TIME IS CORRECT, EVERYTHING WILL BECOME CLEAR AND STRAIGHTEN ITSELF OUT. The only thing you need to have to get you through anything at anytime is a relationship with God. If you have that, you have real peace of mind, security, knowing that this GIANT LOVING PERSON, who you are so close to, is watching over you and participating in your life...and really has it all figured out for you.

Times can be tough...relationships, family, jobs, raising children and money issues...but God
will help. One thing you can get rid of now is WORRYING. Worrying comes from fear, instead rely on God and TRUST IN HIM. You see, I never worry about anything...because I have learned and trained myself to:
1) GO TO GOD FIRST FOR EVERYTHING
2) THEN ACT

I place my Trust in God, discuss my needs and action I wish to take with HIM and then I say "STOP ME IF I AM GOING TO RUIN MY LIFE"...AND THEN I ACT...

SO WHATEVER HAPPENS AFTER THAT...I AM COVERED. GUARANTEED!
GOOD THINGS WILL COME...
THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY...
EVERYTHING WILL HAPPEN AS IT SHOULD...
MY LIFE WILL UNFOLD AS IT SHOULD...
I WILL GROW THROUGH ANY HARDSHIPS ...
AND BECOME A WISER, LOVING PERSON.

AND I WILL BE HAPPY...
AND SO WILL YOU!

We may not know the future, our destiny...but that is OK...have peace of mind, trust in God and look forward to the future. GOD IS REALLY NICE and I am sure... THAT HE HAS SOME GREAT THINGS PLANNED FOR YOU!

ALMIGHTY FATHER KNOWS BEST TOO !

ALMIGHTY FATHER...AND TO ALL YOU WONDERFUL FATHER'S HERE ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN...HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !

Fathers do not always get the recognition they deserve. Fathers can be wonderful, loving, guiding, caring and generous. Sometimes they may be over shadowed by their counterpart, "The Mother". But some Fathers play a very active role in helping rear a child and giving love. Regardless, if you are a Mother or Father, biological or stepparent, the responsibility is enormous and takes a very devoted person to constantly give, give and give...

A Good Father is all giving...of himself to his Beloved Children. He will do anything he can to help, love and provide for his child. This is an incredible act because it does not happen, one day a year...but everyday of the year. Whether you are physically with your child or not, they are usually on your mind, in the forefront or midsection of your brain.

Being a Great Father is tough...it is not always easy, in fact, it is rarely easy. BUT THIS GREAT HONOR IS A GIFT FROM YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN...TO YOU... A BEAUTIFUL SON OR DAUGHTER...OR MAYBE MANY CHILDREN.

When you need help with anything, REMEMBER TO CALL "YOUR ALMIGHTY FATHER' in Heaven. HE has plenty of experience and loves you very much. Ask HIM to guide you in being the Best Father you can be...and HE will.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, PLEASE EXTEND A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY WISH TO OUR ALMIGHTY FATHER IN HEAVEN...HE LOVES US ALL...and perhaps some people forget about HIM on this special day! (I used to years ago, but not anymore)

WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TODAY AND EVERYDAY !

I love you John George Hazelton, my Father in Heaven... I miss you too!

LIFE CAN BE EXCITING WITH JESUS !

Life can be good, life can be great, life can be exciting!
Our life is full of emotions and yes....many of them can be great!

If we just pause and think for a moment, with Jesus leading us towards greatness and happiness...we are headed toward Happy Times, Smiles, Laughter, Joy and
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES !

Our life can be exciting...at any age...at any time...and it should be !
Look around and notice everything...but focus on the good things.
For a moment, ignore the bad...do not let it interfere with your good thoughts and feelings!

Remember the feeling, "when you have great plans and are going to see people who make you feel good, excited and alive"...
you feel pumped up, on top of the world, the adrenaline is flowing and you can't wait to go out...
Well, keep that feeling and "go out today"!

JESUS wants us to be excited about our lives
and all the fun possibilities awaiting us now, today...
We do not have to WAIT FIVE YEARS TO BE HAPPY...Let it start today...
A fun suggestion...go out and buy a great music CD or download some of your old favorite songs, hear the music, feel the joy and smile.

Ask Jesus "what is HE going to do for you"? HE can put and will put GREAT THINGS IN OUR LIVES ! Count on it and then get excited and smile...because Jesus loves us to be happy!
SHARING OUR LIFE WITH JESUS CAN BE EXCITING...HE IS NOT A BORING GUY !!!

Smile and say "Thank You" because great and exciting things
are coming your way! It may be today!

TIME IS A HEALER

TIME IS A HEALER
AND WILL WIPE AWAY OUR TEARS
TIME IS A HEALER
AND WILL WIPE AWAY OUR FEARS...

That is the only part of the poem that I remember...
I wrote it while I was "growing up"...

It's funny now...because as I have grown up and become wiser, I believe that
WE NEVER STOP GROWING...

AND FROM AN EARLY AGE...I LEARNED THAT TIME CAN BE YOUR FRIEND...
IT CAN HELP US IN MANY WAYS...

Time can help us heal from relationships...
Time can help us grieve...
Time can shed light on our situations...
Time can allow us to grow and mature...
Time can allow us to reflect...
Time can allow us to appreciate...people in our lives, circumstances and ourselves.

Time is not always the enemy...
Time can be our friend...
TIME IS A HEALER

WHAT DO YOU NEED ?

I received a beautiful little painting of our Lord in the mail, to be used as a book marker or just a keepsake...I placed it with my other inspirational images, I have collected over the years...
in a pretty glass windowsill ...which has become my work area. Below the image of our Lord is the following quote, "And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive". St. Matthew 21:22

Our Lord today is saying the same thing to us...Come to me, ask and I will help you...I will give it to you...whatever you need. If you Believe, you shall receive... The message has not changed. It may be 2000 years later, but God today still speaks to his children, US, in many ways. HE HAS NOT CHANGED.

We just have to have Faith and Believe. On one hand, it may have been easier to have Faith in Jesus, if we walked with HIM during his time on earth. Then, if we were in the crowds, we could actually witness his Miracles...and perhaps then, we would have more Faith. Miracles are still happening today, but we all do not see the Hand of Jesus at work. Because we are not eye witnesses, it may be more of a challenge to Believe.

The others, way back then, had an advantage, they saw...and then they believed. They wrote down their stories, their experiences to document the events. Hence, the Gospels were born.

So our challenge today may be greater...but God knows that and will reward those that place their Trust in Him. HE will not let you feel like a fool or look like a fool. HE WILL COME THROUGH FOR YOU.

So we have to continue to Believe... Have Faith, Trust In Him for everything. HE knows what is going on...and HE can handle it all.

Don't go through life alone without Jesus...why, it doesn't make sense? HE IS GREAT AND LOVING,...HE CAN HELP YOU IN EVERYTHING...AND HE DOES NOT MIND. HE LIKES TO HELP US. HE WANTS US TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS LOVE, GENEROSITY AND KINDNESS...

I ALWAYS "DO IT", but I never forget to 'GIVE BACK".
I love Him.

FIFTEEN THINGS TO REMEMBER FROM GOD

Dear Beloved Children,
(As Spoken By Our Lord)

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER ...

1) THINK POSITIVE
There are always events coming in your life that will make you happy...they may not have arrived yet, but THINK POSITIVE

2) DO NOT HARBOR ANGRY THOUGHTS
They are disruptive to your peace and they will not do you any good. ANGER eats away at your SOUL and makes you bitter...release any ANGER TO ME...I will dispose of it.

3) HELP OTHERS
Now is a time where many people need help...it may be a friendship, lending a hand or sharing something you have. BE GENEROUS TO OTHERS, if you can spare it. I WILL PAY YOU BACK TEN FOLD. (that means I will more than compensate you for your generosity)

4) LIFE IS NOT PERFECT ON EARTH
It never has been and never will...so do not expect it to be. There will be ups and downs and turns all around...but that is OK...for where you end up, will be better, from where you started.

5) SMILE MORE
Greet people with a smile...it may be a passerby, a person at a check-out counter, a complete stranger. Smiling make us feel good. When you smile, you face lites up, not only on the outside, but on the inside. BE POLITE. Watch how many people will smile back at you.

6) IS THE GLASS HALF FULL ?
There are many ways to look at situations...you CAN ALWAYS SEE THE GOOD, if you allow yourself to. IF YOU WANT TO SEE ONLY THE NEGATIVE...on earth, there will always be plenty. YOU CHOOSE, WHICH DO YOU WANT TO SEE...If you need help seeing the good, ask me.

7) DO YOU WANT A HELPING HAND ?
If so, I AM HERE TO HELP YOU IN EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING...JUST ASK, I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE.

8) DO YOU WANT TO TRY "SOMETHING NEW IN YOUR LIFE" ?
Great, I love new things...and want each of my children, to strive to be the best they can be and at the same time...TO BE HAPPY. You do not have to "LOVE EVERYTHING', but you should at least "LIKE IT". If not, try something else...there is more than one possibility for your life. You can do anything that your heart desires!

9) BE FORGIVING
People make mistakes all the time. Sometimes they hurt us, sometimes very badly. TURN TO ME...I will help you forgive them.

10) IF YOU ARE LONELY
I am here...you are not alone. You can not see me, but I am here. Never doubt it for a moment. I AM YOUR FRIEND. I will keep you company.

11) LOOK AT YOUR OPTIONS
There are many in your life. Do not feel "you are stuck". You are stuck in nothing. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY WITH ME.

12) BE GOOD TO YOURSELF
That does not mean "go shopping"...it means love yourself, do not put yourself down. See the positive within yourself and all the great things you do. You are a great person...and

13) THE CLOSER YOU GET TO ME
The better your life will be...IN EVERYTHING...The list is endless...and so is MY LOVE FOR YOU.

14) LAUGH MORE
and cry less...

15) TAKE MY ADVICE
I wish to see you happy...

LOVE,
YOUR FRIEND JESUS

GOD'S PROMISES TO US

Hold On To God's Promises...

GOD has promised us several things:
1) TO ALWAYS LOVE US
2) TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR US
3) TO ALWAYS HELP US
4) TO ALWAYS GUIDE US
5) TO ALWAYS FORGIVE US

AND ONE DAY, HE WILL TAKE US HOME WITH HIM...
HE HAS RESERVED A PLACE FOR US.

GOD has asked us to:
1) HAVE FAITH IN HIM
2) PLACE OUR TRUST IN HIM
3) LOVE HIM

In today's world, it is sometimes hard to see what really matters...and who we can really count on...

Throughout it all, NEVER PLEASE FORGET GOD.
HE WILL NEVER FORGET US...AND I CAN NOT IMAGINE...
HOW DIFFICULT LIFE WOULD BE, LIVING WITHOUT HIM.

I WOULD NOT WANT TO FIND OUT EITHER...

MISTAKES

HOW DO WE KNOW WHEN WE HAVE MADE A MISTAKE? We do not always know...until we start to sense that things appear worse...than better.

What are "mistakes" to us, are most probably lessons that we can learn from, to help us become better people. If we feel that we have made a mistake, a poor choice or a bad decision,
GO TO GOD FOR HELP.
ASK GOD TO :
1) HELP US FIX THE MISTAKE
2) Allow us to learn from it, grow and become a stronger individual.

ASK YOURSELF, What did Jesus want us to learn from this experience or lesson?

As painful as it is, remember that God can always turn around a situation or mistake... and help you put your life back together. HE can even make your life better than before. You must believe that and hold on to that belief... because without it, life may appear to be bleak and without hope... which is the opposite of Christ. CHRIST IS HOPE.

Jesus walked on earth and knows just how difficult it is. He has great empathy for us and wants to lead and help us. I usually ask God to guide me before making any serious or big decision. So, when it appears that I may have made a mistake, I first realize that:

A) IT IS NOT A MISTAKE IN GOD'S EYES (because then HE would not have allowed me to make it)

B) HE HAS A PLAN TO MAKE SOME OR A LOT OF GOOD COME OUT OF THIS "MISTAKE". (You have to have faith, hope and trust) Otherwise, you may become depressed, sad and feel that you messed up your life and that there is no way to fix it. But that is not true with God, HE can and will fix our mistakes, if we ask HIM to.

GOD likes when we turn to HIM and say "Help". HE does not judge us... whether WE went to HIM, before we messed up or not...all HE is concerned with is... that NOW we have turned to HIM for help and guidance.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GOD TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU ...AND HAS POWER OVER YOUR LIFE, IF YOU LET HIM...
