“Nothing can penetrate the shield of faith.”

“The purpose of any lesson is to learn it.”

“When we feel spiritual weak it may be time to eat… the Word.”

“We can bear anything, as long as we know God holds the rein.”

“Let’s give God the glory for His story.”

“Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. A-men” (1Peter5:14 KJV). We are thankful there are a number of ways to say hello in different languages and cultures. Just to name a few: Bonjour (France), Hola (Spanish), Hallo (German), Hello (American). Who doesn’t want to be greeted after entering a room, coming home, arriving at work, or at church? Surely we all do.

Saying hello must have been important to Jesus, or else He wouldn’t have asked us to greet one another. To say hello is probably one of the warmest and easiest acknowledgements we have the privilege of sharing with one another. It’s a small interaction that makes a big impact. It can make a person feel warm and welcome. Let’s be grateful God has given us the good sense to greet one another by saying hello; we just might get one in return.

So as you prepare to go, don’t forget to say “hello.”

In God, I will keep on thanking Him for giving me the grace to say “hello.”  By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking,com

“Thanking God for the treasures found in His Word.”

“God can provide peace, even in our pain.”

“God is saving, even when the storms are raging.”

“We are inseparable from the love of God.”

“Our best bet is to rest in God; He is our Comforter.”

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20 KJV). Many have played the game, “Knock, Knock, Who’s There?” The fun, joke, anticipation, or surprise of the game comes when it is revealed who’s knocking. Some are amazed  at the twist on the answer.

Just the same, someone is still knocking, and it is no game, joke, twist, or surprise. It is Jesus. He stands at our door, knocking. He’s not going to press, push, or break His way in. He will enter when we freely open the door.

My friends, if you haven’t opened to Jesus, you still have opportunity by accepting Him into your heart as Savior. He’s still knocking. What love, joy, and peace that comes when we answer His loving knock! Let Him in today, for the enterance knob is on the inside.

Lord, we pray that we hear and answer your knock. Please enter hearts today.

Please join me:

Knock, knock.

Who’s there?

Jease…

Jease, who?

JESUS!

“But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep” (St, John 10:2 KJV).

“Knowing the truth keeps us from being fooled by the false.”

“God is factual, never fictional.”

“Jesus always saves.”

“God’s Word is worthy.”

“God never flatters, but He will commend.”

“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant” (Matthew 23:11 KJV).  In considering our social, moral, and spiritual climate, and those affected by hurricane Harvey, I’m moved to share this poem on HUMANITY.

Some people have big hearts, and some have no heart at all. Some people have big homes, yet they live alone. Some people are rich with poor health. Some can’t get out of bed, without others to help.

Some people don’t worry about how they will pay a bill. Yet others are not sure what will be their next meal. Some people are so brave. Still others are afraid. Some people have good health, with no wealth. Some people are poor in spirit without having much.

Some people have a lot and refuse to give a cent. Others live better than you and I, and some can’t. Thanking God we all have one thing in common… we are all “human” and we need each other. Anytime, we may find ourselves needing a helping hand. Let’s reach out in prayer, and if possible, share a good deed throughout this land.

Take it for what it’s worth, and be thankful. We are living better than most, and not bad as some. Don’t try to save a penny on every penny; show some gratitude and share one.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister” (Hebrews 6:10 KJV).

In God, I will keep on thanking Him for the opportunity to make a difference in somebody’s life. by Hetistine Washington / keeponthanking.com.

“Don’t worry, God is not gone; He’s still on the throne.”

“Faith works when we willingly work.”

“With God, we will press through our test.”

“Jesus bared the cross that we may not be lost.”

“I refuse be bound when I hear the joyful sound, Jesus saves.”

Thanking God Almighty

“The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea” (Psalm 93:4 KJV). Why not begin each day thanking God for having all might? He is the God Almighty; there is no other.

We thank Him for being the absolute authority, invincible, omnipotent, and supreme God. We praise Him for being all wise, all good, all powerful, and all loving supplying our every need.

God stands in His omnipotence and sovereignty, waiting for us to hand Him our heavy load. As Scripture declares, “For there is nothing too hard for our Lord.” “Casting all your care on him for he cares for you.”

We have the assurance our God is more than able to bear whatever is too heavy for us. He is mighty in power and mighty in strength. He is able to handle everything that comes our way. We are totally secure in His hand.

In God, I will keep on thanking Him because, God is more than able to carry my load.  God, the Almighty, we say, “thank you.”

He’s not only VICTOR over sin and death, He’s the only WAY to eternal happiness. He’s not only the X-RAY OF LIFE, He is our YOKE RELEASER, our Lord Jesus Christ. He’s not only our ZEST FOR LIVING, He is God, who never stops giving.

“I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower” (Psalm18:2 KJV).

In God, I will keep on thanking Him for who He is.   By Hertistine Washington / keeponthanking.com
