day 27: John 13:34-35; 14:21  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and manifest myself to him.  Jesus also said, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.


As you can see man's definition of a friend and Jesus definition may defer, who your faith is in determines whom you will believe.  If we say Jesus is our God, or the Son of  God, or the Holy Spirit, the hole thing goes back to this here, why callest me Lord, Lord, and not do the things which I say.

Does anything the Creator say matters, do we not understand that the wage of sin is death, that has not changed, life is to those who cherish all life not only their own. For God created everything you see. When you do unto the least of these you do also unto me. We are judged by every idle word we speak, and if we believe in anything that even pertains to God, do we not know he sees all and knows all.

The mirror is an awesome starting point for us all, lets walk away remembering that God so loved the world he gave, lets give peace and love to all we see and not see, lets pray for our enemies, and forgive ourselves along the way.  The point of all this is to remember him as we want him to remember us, to love all as he loves all.  Heaven and earth shall pass but my word shall last for ever, allow the word of God to live in your souls and breathe the breath of life with understanding, to remember is to acknowledge to acknowledge is to reverence, well let us all remember to love.  As he so loved us, unconditionally.

day 26:  Mark 12:28-31: John 14:15-16; 15:10-13: 1 John 4:21; 5:3    And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  There is none other commandment greater than these.  If ye love me, keep my commandments.  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 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. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

I repeat his commandments are not grievous. The greatest love letter I have ever been blessed to see, from the author and finisher of my faith.

Let true love win please, God did for us for Jesus's sake concerning us all, for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, not to condemn the world but that the world through him may be saved. 

Let love win where ever you are.

day 25: Proverbs 3:6; 4:14,17 ( Psalm 37:14-15) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. FRET NOT thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.


God did not leave us to wander off and do whatever we want: God was very precise in all that pertains to him in all he did ( Psalm 145:17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works). If we believe in him, lets learn of him by doing exactly what he commands.

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?  Proverbs 5:1-2 MY SON, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

How much do you really believe that there is a God ? Look in the mirror and ask yourself, do my life speak of faith in him or self ?  The creator or the created, who do I really trust, for we all must answer for everything we do.  Lets be ready for that glorious day by acknowledging him that knew us before we were formed.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.( Proverbs 3:1-2)

Why turn your back from such an honour ?

day 24: Romans 12:9-10; 1 Peter 4:9 1 John 3:18; 4:17,21-20; 5:3 Let love be without dissimulation.  Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Use hospitality one to another without grudging. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. If a man say, I love God, and hateh his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen ?  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

1 Thessalonians 5:22;18: Luke 6:31-32;46  Abstain from all appearance of evil.  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. Galatians 3:26; 5:24 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Are we listening?

Day 23:  Mark 13:7-8;10 (30-33;35; 37)  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Galatians 5:16;24-25 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit , and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Be always ready.

day 22: Mark 13:14-26; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18;  But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the house top not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.  For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.  And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.  And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.  But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

What is your hope?

day 21: Luke 23:26-31 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For behold, the says are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

Jesus, on to his death which he foretold, also shared with his followers his coming to come in his return, the Lord came down from heaven, to save us from ourselves, how ironic, To wit, God was in Jesus reconciling the world unto himself, for he so loved the world, and God showed how much, for he spared not his own Son so that we can love and live with him.

God willing, may the world all look in the mirror and see God's perfect touch, for we all are created in his own image. Please show gratitude for ever for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning us all.

May we all remove the planks in our eyes and see the glory that is amongst us all and in us all and love and forgive all from your heart as God for Christ sake forgave us all.

Let us all die to self and be raised in victory in Christ Jesus. God bless you all. Amen.
