A Sweet Spirit
“So you helped me. You’re still on my B-list of friends.” “What do you want me to say! You are too much work.”
Make all that comes from your mouth drip with sweet kindnesses and the good and gracious spirit of God.
Inspired by 1 Corinthians 15:1-8
Now I should remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you – unless you have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance which I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to someone untimely born, he appeared also to me.

Its God Truth
Its God’s Truth
We pray for heavenly things at birth, confirmation, times of illness and death. However, we have precious moments throughout our day to be mindful of our everyday blessings that are not of this earth. On this day of National Prayer and well as everyday of your life, step away from the noise of the world and with divine purpose move into the treasure of silence and accept the reward of God’s truth. In that quiet place heavenly things will be revealed and your lips with speak with divine aspirations.
Inspired by John 3:31-34
John the Baptist said to his disciples, “The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony. Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified this, that God is true. He whom God has sent speaks the words of God.”

Showing Up
Showing Up
“I really don’t care about this walk-a-thon nor its cause; I came because they’re giving away awesome gifts.”
“Showing up” should come from a place deep within a serviceable heart. The gifts of service are ones that imitate of God’s love and endure forever!
Inspired by John 6:30-35
The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the lake saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone. Then some boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you are filled of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.

Give and Receive
Give and Receive
“Through her smile she gave me hope.” “She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy!”
There are many instances in life that provide opportunities to give and receive God’s love. Jesus is the bread of life. Receive your share. And with gratefulness for your blessed existence, give to others unselfishly.
Inspired by John 6:30-35
The crowd said to Jesus, “What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gave you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

A Better Friend
A Better Friend
“Who taught you that? I think you’d better find a better friend.”
Spend time with God and imitate Jesus everyday so that when the temptation to behave otherwise is more easily dismissed. Be influenced by the best and you will be a “better friend.”
Inspired by John 6:45-51
Jesus said to the people: “It is written in the prophets: ‘And they shall all be taught by God’; everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that come down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

This Little Light of Mine
This Little Light of Mine
“I didn’t get to tell him how wonderful he was. It’s too late now, he’s gone.”
You know someone who is truly extraordinary. Tell them today in your special way that they are a light in the/your world.
God gave us Jesus, our light in the world. Know that “You are special to Him!”
Inspired by John 12:44-50
Then Jesus cried aloud: “Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my word has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge, for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”
