Psalm 1:1-3 The Message

1 How well God must like you—
    you don’t walk in the ruts of those blind-as-bats,
    you don’t stand with the good-for-nothings,
    you don’t take your seat among the know-it-alls.

2-3 Instead you thrill to God’s Word,
    you chew on Scripture day and night.
You’re a tree replanted in Eden,
    bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf,
    always in blossom.

Isaiah 1:18 (New Living Translation)

 

“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.

Isaiah 1:18 (New Living Translation)

 

“Come now, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool.

James 3:13

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

The goodness of God.

Good morning beautiful people. As I have been in the presence of the Lord, I keep seeing how it is His goodness, grace and mercy that has kept me alive thus far. Many of my family members and childhood friends are no longer alive. I know I will see some of them in heaven but I also know some did not and will not make it. I tell you the truth, the moment the Lord explains to you, that everyone in your family may not make it into heaven and some of the people you have met on your job, in passing but most of all in the church building and online ministries will not make it to heaven. It truly saddens me. I mean, my God, everyone who says Lord, Lord will not inherit the Kingdom of God. This is disturbing. However, we are to work out our own soul salvation with fear and trembling. Which means my salvation, cannot guarantee, my children’s or grandchildren’s salvation. My God, soul winning is the goal and God made sure to make it personal for me when the first soul I had to win was my late dear mother’s soul. Heaven rejoices over one sinner who repents. Hallelujah.

Philippians 2:1-2 (New International Version)

 

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
