“Then [Christ] said to Thomas, ‘Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.’ And Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God’!”

“I guarantee that you will encounter difficult times in your relationship with Yah, blessed be His Name. The trust of some will waver in the midst of tests. Do not be one of those who waver because life becomes difficult or because the elder or congregation disappoints or betrays you. Do not give up the greatest and hardest relationship because you lose someone dear to you. Do not lose trust because you have unanswered questions or because you may not understand. Do not lose heart because you feel alone. Do not give up the good fight because you want to die, persecution endangers and harms your life, or for any other reason. Shun the rocky soil. Instead grow deep roots into the Lord through relationship with Him that is nurtured in daily prayer, meditation, fasting, fellowship, service, purpose…and focus and endurance.
My children, continue the struggle to draw near to the Lord even if you do not hear His voice. Anjeze Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, more widely known as Mother Teresa of Calcutta, did not hear from God for sixty years, yet she maintained faithfulness, enduring trust, in Him. Questions and doubts may arise - endure anyway. Challenges in your life and in your walk with God will come - persist anyway.
If you stand firm, persecution will come, but please never give up, never quit… do not allow bitterness to corrupt your heart. Seek Him for comfort, for purpose, and for answers. Even if you do not receive a response, sustain in your walk with the Lord. No matter how difficult the Way, the struggle, the fight, the race, may be…persevere. Trust Him. Trust Him for salvation and Life. Know that persecution and pain will come if you stand with His Anointed One (Revelation 2:9-10), but He will be there to help you every step of the way (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). He will be with you even if the test means the death of your body.”

“Comprehend the breadth and length and height and depth of the love of Christ.” ~Ephesians 3:18
“When we’re naked and ashamed and alone in our brokenness, Christ envelops us with His intimate grace. When we’re rejected and abandoned and feel beyond wanting, Jesus cups our face: ‘Come close, my Beloved.’ When we’re dirty and tear-stained and despairing, Jesus Christ is attracted to us and proposes undying love: ‘All that you’re carrying I take…and all that I am is yours’.”

Love
“Love each other,” Jesus said,
“By this they all shall know,
That you are Mine, and in thy heart,
I have made…
“And this commandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.” ~ 1 John 4:21 KJV
Love each other,” Jesus said,“By this they all shall know,That You are Mine, and in thy heartI have made My home.”
Love each other,” Jesus said,“This is My command,You show the world you love MeWhen you do the things I ask.”
Jesus said who loves HimWill obey His wordThe one who doesn’t love…
I probably won’t post here again because stumble is distracting me from God. So…here’s what I want to say:
- Jesus loves you
- Jesus wants to SAVE you
- Jesus might be coming soon, so spread His word and stay strong in your faith through everything.
- Study the Bible before you shun it
- Never be afraid to ask real Christians questions about The Bible
- Christianity is more about the relationship with God, than the religion.
- God is always listening to your prayers, He just might not answer how you want Him to
- God’s timing is perfect
- The Holy Spirit will guide you once you’re saved
- Strive to live for God
And I love you!
This is my side blog.
This is also true for this blog.
Thank you for following. I love you all and so does God. Follow Him and listen to Him before it’s too late for you. I love all of you more than you know.

Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil spellings.

“Elect according to the foreknowledge of the Father.” This scripture matches the one I read in the Book of Mormon today that says: The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother has he made mention of my name. I think these verses mean that we all have a special purpose. The Lord knows our potential and invites us to seek out our mission. #scriptures #dailybibleverses #biblequotes #newtestament #bookofmormon #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #baby #calling #foreordination #destiny (at Hudson Yards New York)
