Good morning! How are we faithing? You know, some of the things we've done as the human race makes me wonder why God loves us and why he doesn't just swipe us away.  God obviously loves us or he wouldn't give us the opportunity to repent even when he knows we'll keep doing things and falling down. Man, I screw up all the time and yet I know he picks me up, brushes me off, corrects me and gives me a shove to get back at it. Jesus never failed yet he gave his life so we who do fail could live forever with him in heaven. Is heaven clouds and harps and stuff? No. What is it like? I only know what the Word says, "no more weeping, no more sadness, no sin or even temptation of it." Wow! If you think on just those things, it opens up a vision of a place that is so grand it is unfathomable in our flesh, or this world for that matter.  The selfish desires we cultivate in our lives can hinder and subvert life as we know it. Satan and his minion could care less about God's human creation but as long as we fail, it breaks God's heart so that is what Satan laughs about. Jesus came so we could have a way to defeat those dark forces and to dwell with the Creator forever. Are you at your wits end? Have you realized that the methods you've used all your life keep whoopin your own tail? Let me introduce you to my Savior....

John 6:35-40
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
KJV

John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
KJV

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your Word that sustains our focus and keeps us seeking your ways. Lord, we ask forgiveness for our shortcomings and ask for wisdom and grace so we may show likewise to the lost. Lord we ask for healing of this country. Monetarily, spiritually, and culturally. We ask we not inflict pain but help whomever whenever. Thank you for all you do, in Jesus holy name, amen
