But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith? Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after a... -
Dark Night of the Soul from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Jesus once took five loaves of bread and two fish and fed 5,000 men and their families until they were full. He miraculously multiplied the food, and they picked up twelve baskets full of leftovers when done. The people who experie...

For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites were in charge of killing the Passovers for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to Yahweh. For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed them...
Love in Action
-
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:34 WEB
At the last supper Jesus arose and washed the disciples feet. Then He told them to love one another, just as He had loved them, and by this all people would know that they were His disciples.
His love was love in action and not just words. We are to show our love by serving each other. When people see you do this it means more than mere words can say. People don't care how much know, until they know how much you care.
Love others, as God loves us. Forgive others, and God will forgive us. Even in the model prayer Jesus said 'Forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us' (Luke 11:4). Keep it in balance, because it does not mean that you are a doormat for someone trying to manipulate you.
Be kind. Be loving. Be gentle. If you get the chance to simply open the door for someone today, do it. You can be a powerful witness without opening your mouth.
Prayer: Father, help me show Your love on the earth today. Give me the grace to endure whatever I face with a smile because I am walking under Your power, and not my own. Speak through me, heal through me, and when people meet me, let them be meeting You. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

I am continually convicted from God The Holy Spirit that I am supposed to be a light unto the world. It's so easy to let the flesh take over. Certainly Luke was right when he said men ought always to pray, and not to faint. Great message. Love and Prayers

So important to forgive because we have been forgiven. Makes it easier to move on and mend what is broken.

Forgiveness can be difficult for some, but when we know how much we have been forgiven for and let the love of God work through us, and heal us and through us we can reflect our Lord and Savior and touch hearts and souls is love in action. Thank you Father God for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for your forgiveness for I am the righteousness of God in Christ , and He works in me and thru me. Amen♡
