My little children, let us not say we love in word or in tongue only, but we must show our love in deeds and in always speaking the truth. And by this we know and have confidence that we are of the truth, and shall have full assurance in our hearts, the very core of our being as we stand before Him.

For if our heart condemns us, God is Greater than our heart, and He knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence in our relationship towards God, through Christ. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and are obedient to do those things that are pleasing in His sight. And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the Name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us this commandment as the right way of doing His Work. Now the person who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and Jesus will also abide in that person. And by this we know that He abides in us: we have the evidence of the fruit of His Holy Spirit – His Righteousness covering us, His Peace in our hearts and minds that ALL is Well with my soul, and His Joy unspeakable, full of Hope, full of Praise, that leads to Worship – whom He has freely given to all of us by His Grace.    1John 3:18-24

We Love Jesus, because He first loved us!

We confess that we really do not know how to abide in You, Jesus. 

Here is one exercise that we could do together:

For the next three days, rise early, go outside weather permitting and walk down your street, before anyone else gets up and activities of the day steal your time away.

As you walk, talk with Jesus. Say His Words! Recite the outline of what we call the Lord’s Prayer!

Personalize Psalm 23 by saying out loud – Jesus, You are my Shepherd and I trust You with all my heart!

Jesus, Thank You for leading me into Your green pastures and beside Your still waters!

Jesus, when I am with You, I will fear no evil!

Jesus, Your instructions and corrections are a comfort to me!

Jesus, I am confident that Your Goodness and Your Mercies will follow me, surround me, and cover me all of the days of my life.

Invest your time in your relationship with Jesus through prayer. 

Put aside ALL Distractions! Ask Jesus about His Purpose for your life on earth. Take an inventory of relationships. Ask forgiveness when prompted to do so. Thank the Lord for ALL that He has done for you and your family.

 

Heavenly Father, We TRUST in You with all of our heart! We will not trust in our own understandings. In all our ways, we will acknowledge Your Authority in our lives. We believe that You Lord, shall direct our paths to walk in today. We will not be wise in our own eyes or think that our way is the only way. We will have the utmost respect for You Lord. We will purpose in our lives to completely avoid anything evil, such as the lust of my flesh, the lust of my eyes, and the pride of my life.

These steps of faith by us will be health to our bodies and strength to our bones. God’s health care plan is Communion with Him and it is absolutely free and will last a life time.

We will Honor You Lord, with all our possessions and give to You Lord, the First Fruits (the very best) of all our income, talents, times, and treasures. Naked I came into this world and naked I will leave – all of this is really not my stuff. God’s Grace allows me to enjoy most all of this stuff and from an early age, we were all taught to share our stuff. So, we should give away or sell most of our excess stuff. 

Lord Jesus, help us all to BE what You have called us to BE and TO DO everything that You have created us TO DO here on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

 Amen and Amen!
