Day 84:  If ye love me, keep my commandments. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. A new commandment  I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one another.

Not once did Jesus say to return evil for evil, but yet did say in the book of Luke 6:27-28, " But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

Let them that have an ear, let them hear.

Amen.

Day 83: 1 John 4:15-16,19  Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. We love him, because he first loved us.

In the book of Proverbs 8:17 it is written, " I love them that me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Now Jesus directed all that believeth in him in the book of Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. We ask for so much of God but don't pay attention to instructions. Then get upset when it has yet to come, but if we listen to the Word of God frustration will cease. James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Remember always 1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof..

What are your desires for they do reflect what is inside your heart, and if it is not God, WHY?

Day 81: Deuteronomy 8:17-20. And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might f mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the LORD thy God. For which things sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

Now what happens here is you ponder on the fact that God gave all fare warning and precise instructions on what we are to do concerning him. The question remains after careful deliberations with that important self ask yourself, am I that obedient servant without spot or blemish, am I ready for the Lord to return? Be honest with yourself, your salvation depends on it.

For if we judge ourselves, we should not be judged. Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. ( 1 Corinthians, Philippians)

Paul, like ourselves, had choices to make and he followed the way of Christ and encouraged us all to follow the way of Christ, which there is no greater example.

Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life.
