Today

Jennifred Jones

Today much of the world celebrates Jesus showing death that it does not have the power it thinks it does over us.

Is there death in some area of your life? Mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, relationally with others? Jesus wants to, he has the power to come into that very area of your life that’s causing all the pain and heartache and overpower it…heal it!

We don’t have to climb 150 stairsteps, give away all our money, move or change our wardrobe. All he wants is for us to come back to him.

These can be hard words to read, we have been conditioned to see God as a hateful, wrathful, angry,  mean judge doling out punishment for our wrongs. That is not the voice of God. Jesus didn’t come to condemn or destroy, He was sent to free and restore…to give life…now in our current lives on earth.

Other’s words have spoken to us confusion, mistrust and cynicism. God’s words are helpfulness, peace, wisdom, truth, belonging, and care…true love.

Today, think about how you would like to be loved, how you would like to care for others and know that is God’s heart to you.

Today, give him the benefit of the doubt. Test him and see what good he will bring into your life.

It can be all new for you today.

God is good!

America!

America is great because God made her great…..because we made God great!

Throughout the centuries, any time a people, or a person or a nation has honored, credited God for his presence and help, God in turn has helped and honored them.

As they take a step towards him, he will take two steps towards them. That’s the kind of God he is, always there, ready to help and looking ahead of us. While we’re stumbling along he is already there with the help and the solution.

In spite of the doomsday-sayers, there is great hope for any nation, any people, any person who will simply say, “Help me, God!”

People think of God as a get-even, mean, pay-you-back for what you deserve type God, but that is religion’s god, not the real God.

God is for us, for his creation and for all the peoples that he made, who live all over the globe. He is not a God of destruction, rather a God of creation, creating good in everything he does…and that is his intention for us and for our work, lives, families.

Can we do it?

Absolutely yes!

It starts with a change of mind…what is one good thing I can do today, what is one good think I can do right now?

What is one teeny-tiny step in the right direction I could take today to make better something I’ve noticed?

We people tend to be followers; what if we cause people to follow us in the right direction….what if we all banded together in our communities, put aside our differences, rolled up our sleeves and helped one another?

We would experience change!

Now GO! Change your day! Change your neighborhood! Change your life!
