Bible Verse of The Day – 12-28-21

John 11:25 (NKJV) 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.

What a wonderful blessing for believers.

After we pass from this life, we will be alive in His presence.

We don’t just die and then that is the end of everything for us. Our best life is actually yet to come.

We get so comfortable and acclimated to things here on earth  that we think this is it! We think this is the best place to be.

And when our loved ones pass on, we look at it as if that is the end of everything. Doom and gloom, sadness and sorrow try to take over our thoughts.

It may try to keep us down and make us feel like things will never be good again.

That’s a lie! Things can be good again, knowing that Jesus has given us eternal life.

God has a plan for us all. And part of that plan is death. We will all face it. It is just as much a part of life as living.

But we don’t like to think or talk about it much, do we? And that is understandable if we don’t know what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross.

Let us not get caught in the trap of doom and gloom, sadness, and sorrow because of our loss.

Search the scriptures. Get to know what Jesus did for us, and why He went to great lengths so that we may live again even after we die. Hallelujah!

Believe in Him today so we will have a home in heaven and live forever with our resurrected Savior and our heavenly Father.  Amen.

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-4-21

Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

Losing a loved one brings up many questions.

Where are they now that we can’t feel, touch or speak to them? Are they in heaven? Are they still in the ground? Do they have a new body? Are they missing me?

Our minds want answers. We try so hard to find those answers, hoping it will bring comfort, taking away the loneliness and the pain of their absence.

Losing someone dear to us can make us stronger or it can break us for life.

Because we loved so much, it almost literally breaks our heart when they pass on or go home.

We can listen to others and try to find comfort in books, counsel, and other sources.

But beware of the mediums who will act like they can reach the dead and connect with them.

It’s all a lie and demonic in every form. They can mess you up completely and severely damage your relationship with God.

Unless we let God heal that broken, lonely heart, we will never get up and get back on our feet again. We too will die on the inside. We will still be walking and breathing, but dead to everything around us.

Getting mad at anyone, even God, will not do a bit of good.

We need to be healed. Time will help with that, but what’s most important is that we run to Him with our pain.

We need to rest in His arms, laying down all that is in us that concerns us. As we do this, He will bring healing and find a way to get us up and walking again.

The devil would love for us to blame God. He would love for us to be angry at Him and the world.

But all that will do is hurt us more, causing us to fall away from the One who can truly help us and comfort us.

He will be our best friend in such a difficult time.

If we are suffering or struggling because of our loss, there are two things to do today.

1. Acknowledge our brokenness.

2. Ask God to bring healing and get us up and walking again.

Death is part of this life here on earth.

But in Heaven there is no more death, no sorrow and no pain.

There is no loss. There is no sin and there are no struggles.

But while we are still here, our healing comes by putting one foot in front of the other and walking out each day with the Lord’s guidance.

Death happens to us all at times. Let us cry out for God’s help to get us through it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-13-21

Philippians 3:20 (NKJV) 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ…

The average lifespan here on earth is 75 – 85 years. In light of that, we are really just passing through here. It is very short and quick.

For those who believe in Christ, born again Christians, we will not perish. Our eternal home is in heaven, where we will have everlasting life.

John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Our time here is valuable. Wherever we step foot, we bring God’s light into dark places.

Know that our work here is not in vain. But it is to glorify our King!! God sees our obedience and our efforts to try to do good and follow Him.

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NKJV) 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Some Christians lose their footing when they lose a family member or when tragedy hits close to home.

Things like this can sometimes cause us to forget Who we belong to and where we are all heading.

It can cause us to forget our purpose here, and that we need to continue to be steadfast and immovable in what we have been called to do.

This is just a reminder to those today who may have taken a hit close to home.

It’s not over. Pick up the pieces and let God help you move forward in whatever it is that we need to do here and now, one step at a time.

As Paul says, be steadfast and immovable, right to the end.

Our prayers are with you all.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-15-20

John 11:35 (NKJV) 35 Jesus wept.

Many people are going through things and they are afraid to let go. They think they have to hold back the tears because if they don’t people might think they are not strong.

When we hold back the tears, we are denying ourselves healing. We are ignoring the fact that we are hurting and we need gentle, tender, loving care. By ignoring this and denying ourselves the healing we need, we are putting ourselves at risk of getting hard and bitter.

Hardness will make us think no one is there for us. No one cares. Not even God.

It will make us think things like maybe even God does not hear us.

Hardness has a voice and it’s not nice. It’s mean, angry and frustrated.

A hard, bitter heart cannot function properly. It gets off track quickly. It needs help.

Maybe today you are facing or dealing with a tragedy. You don’t know how to get past it, let it go and start over.

Don’t hold in what needs to come out. Shed some tears and talk to God. Your healing will find you.

Psalm 38:8 (NKJV) 8 I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

If Jesus wept, then it’s OK for us to weep.

It’s not a sign of weakness, no matter how many people say it is.

It is a sign of recognizing what just took place and realizing that we need to let God be God and help us be lifted up.

Cry on His shoulder.

Psalm 3:3 (NKJV) 3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-14-19

Ecclesiastes 3:4 (NKJV) 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance…

Are we grieving over someone or a situation today?

We should not take our feelings lightly. Pay attention to them. Don’t push them down and hold them in. Take the time we need to fully recover.

Loss is a natural part of life, and grief is a natural part of loss. It’s important that we don’t cut ourselves short and suppress it. We need to go through it, to weep and to mourn at times.

Our health and the state of mind that we are in are important to God. What we are going through will either make us or break us, depending on whether we take the time we need to go through it properly. How we feel and how we function each day depends on the time we take to tend to our own needs.

A lot of times people won’t get their full healing because they put everyone and everything else before themselves. They put themselves last and just keep plowing through every day, hurting from the grief they carry.

You are important and you need your time to heal.

We can’t ignore it and work long hours to get through it, pretending it’s not there. We have to face it. And when we do, God will show us what it will take to come out of it feeling better, stronger and healthier.

Grieving over anything should only last for a season not our whole life. Being happy must come again.

Take the time we need to heal, to get some clarity, to get past the things that cause us to weep and then let dancing come again! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-9-18

Luke 23:43 (NKJV) 43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Hallelujah!

Where are our loved ones that have gone before us? Jesus said to one of the men beside Him on the cross, “today you will be with me in Paradise”.

That is a wonderful and encouraging thing to know and to hold onto. It is comforting to know that our departed loved ones who knew Jesus Christ as their Savior are with Him today in paradise.

We that are still here, no matter how difficult it is, must move on. We must keep going. We cannot die with them. We still have things on this earth to tend to.

Our time will come and we too will be in paradise with Jesus and with those that have gone before us. But, for now it’s not yet that time.

Be encouraged and comforted today. Your family member or your good friend, etc., is in a place called paradise, with Jesus. That is a great place to be! Amen.

Don’t worry about them. They are safe!

Yes, we miss them and our heart aches with the loss of them. But it’s time for us to let Jesus help us, to pick ourselves up and move on with the things that He has for us to do here. It won’t be long until we will all be rejoicing, singing and praising Him together, in His presence!

Let our heart beat again and live. Rejoice in knowing that He is faithful!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-17

Jeremiah 17:14 (NKJV) 14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.

For those who have loss in their heart today, know that God wants to bring healing.

When we lose someone or something dear to us, it can cause us to feel like a part of us is gone. This can cause us to feel empty and longing to be filled again; to be touched one more time. We feel like we need to have something there that felt as good as it did before.

No matter how hard we try, nothing seems to fill that place.

It could be a person we’re missing. Or, for some, it could even be a position we held or a thing that we loved deeply, and it brought us such great JOY.

Whatever it is, the loss of it has left a void deep within us and we long for one last moment, one last touch. We feel incomplete and unfinished.

Today, God wants us to know that He has, within Him, a way that He can help fix this. It may not necessarily be the way we are hoping for. It may be completely different than we have ever imagined. But the Doctor is in the house. He is our great Physician; our Healer.

We may ask “how?”. But it’s different for everyone.

He knows what will help us. But if we don’t ever give it to Him, we will never know HOW.

Give that loss to Him today and let Him begin His work in us. Healing is closer than we realize.
