Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

4 Luke 6:35 ..

When someone is not thoughtful and opens a wound in the heart of another and selfishly turns away.  Are they so self-absorbed they can not see the injury they cause or does it go much deeper? Turning away no matter the reason is callous and does not diminish the action that caused the pain. It does not make the pain nonexistent. It can actually make the wound deeper and takes the wound longer to heal.  Turning away is something I will never understand ??? I hope and pray that I could never be that person. My heart would not allow my mind to rest knowing I caused anyone that kind of pain.💔

Jesus knows this kind of pain, He personally has felt the anguish that this type of action causes.   He trusted 12 men that walked the earth with Him.  They all professed to love Him and they all acted like his friend. Callously one by one they all turned away. leaving Him to stand alone in His darkest hour and yet ... HE LOVED ❤ them anyway...  His strength along with his indescribable LOVE for us reaches far beyond heaven and earth. This kind of  LOVE ❤ boggles my mind and leaves me standing in awe... I cried out, please teach me how to love like you do.

My Fathers love and time have taught me when your heart is wounded by someone and you can find it in your soul not to callously respond.  But, instead, you reach out and offer them your unconditional love, expecting nothing in return...   That my friend is how and when the greatest internal transformation of your heart occurs. The chains are broken, the wounds heal, and you are freed to experience the most incredible unselfish love known to mankind! You will be filled with an unexplainable peace in your heart and a deep understanding that will soothe your soul. It's amazing!

Our Father will always welcome us with the warmth of his open arms, he will never turn us away .. NEVER ...  He WOWs me!!! 😍

Its Him, Its always Him

❤Please watch the video❤

🙏 My Prayer 🙏

Life on earth can change in the blink of an eye. So, I ask our Father to guide us in this troubled world.. Help us be filled with his light, allowing us to show his love, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness to anyone that may cross our path. If we can help touch one hurting heart and let them know, It's going to be OK our father is a great healer of hearts..  He is the prince of peace. He offers us, unconditional LOVE. All we need to do is open our hearts to him. And his LOVE will take us on the most incredible journey of our LIVES.  ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am grateful for you!

Bible Verses From KJV  / Sinner's Prayer

.Passion any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.

The word Passion comes from the Latin word for suffering. The crucifixion of Jesus is accepted by many scholars as an actual historical event.

There are 46 Bible Verses about Passion

When we say the word passion most will immediately think of a LOVE between a couple. Passion can be a powerful force. It can hold so many emotions. It can take us from 0-60 in seconds. Passion can grab your heart, change your focus, and redirect your soul. 

So, the question becomes, do we have a passion for life? Or do we get distracted with life itself? Do we truly appreciate the important things? Do we squeeze every ounce of beauty from each day we are blessed to take a breath? Or do we get bogged down from the negative vibes and miss the beauty that surrounds us??

How do we come to truly understand one of the most passionate intense moments in our history? Along with its significance and how it has affected our lives through the ages?

When we look back on that day, we see a passion of hatred so out of control that they tried to KILL a LOVE that was so large. 

Unfortunately, they did not understand the magnitude and beauty of the moment.  This moment proved to the world that all the hate in our world could not stop His LOVE. His LOVE spilled out that day and has touched souls for generations.

I do believe when we utter the word passion it’s His name that should spill out from our lips. His passion for LIFE and LOVE reaches far beyond our understanding. It has transcended time and space. He wow’s me.

His passion and LOVE can be felt in the deepest chambers of our hearts.

There is such a beauty and sweetness that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit share with us. How do we not see it? How do we not run to Them with open arms?  Just open your heart and feel Him. This passion, this craving, for knowing more can take us on the most incredible journey of our life. I say, pack your bags and get ready to experience the ride of a lifetime. 

Its Him, Its always Him.. (3N1) 

And they were all amazed at the greatness of God. But while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples. 

Luke 9:43 NLT

“Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What Joy!”  

Psalms 126:3 NLT.

"Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love." Ephesians 6:24, NIV.

Meaning of independent free from outside control; not depending on another's authority.

There are 34 Bible Verses about Independence. 

As we fire up our grills and gather our families to celebrate our independence, do we truly understand the significance of this word??  

We strive for independence from the time we are toddlers. How many times did we tell our parents “I do it” ... And as teens, many become rebellious and push to find freedom and independence? And then once we obtain that independence, we wonder what was the struggle truly about??? Yes, we want to control things in our life. 

But there are times we find that we can not do life alone and the need to lean on others is inevitable and the independent status we fought to gain.. slips just a little. And as a result, you find out that your heart softens with the love and the care you have received. 

Our spiritual life cycle is much the same. How many of us have said to our Heavenly Father “I Do It !!”. We have all been guilty. Thinking we can do it ourselves, we do not need anyone!  However, I do believe in difficult times many of us would like nothing better than to pass the baton to someone we trust... Jesus Himself asked His Father for help in times of severe distress.

 "And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt" Matthew 26:39 KJV.

With our Heavenly Father, independence is a state of mind.  The key 🔑 to that word is inDEPENDence. Depend on Him, Trust Him. Love Him. He will free your heart and your life will never be the same. 

It’s Him, It’s always Him. 

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Galatians 5:1 


Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], there [is] liberty. 2 Corinthians 3:17 


“As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God 1 Peter 2:16.

Surrender meaning Yield Upward. Surrendering all to God means to yield upward rather than to our current circumstances. 

The word surrender or various words utilizing the mean of surrender appears in the Bible 35 instances. 

Surrender is it the opposite of having power?? Or is the act of surrender seen by others as an act of weakness? I do think when we look at surrender with our human eyes, we see weak, we see discourage, we see the loss of control?? But by digging deep within, and with the guidance of our loving God. 

I would like to look at surrender from another vantage point...Sometimes the best strategy is not always from a weak surrendered position. But from a position of truly looking at the bigger picture. Surrendering to God does not strip us of the elements that make us who we are. 

Letting go and letting God puts us in a state of acceptance, growth, refinement, and begins a transformation that only God can orchestrate.  However, I will simplify. God cannot help us get to our destination unless we give him the keys to the car... in this case our heart. 

So, when we pray and ask Him for help, with finances, with relationships, or with any of our life trials... Be prepared to give Him the keys... If you sit in the passenger seat and continue to shift the gears ... forward, neutral, reverse ??? Eventually, the car will not function as it is intended and eventually the gears will be stripped ... That is when you will realize you could have avoided all the pitfalls in your “life’s journey.” If you would have only surrendered. You should have Let Go and Let Him manage all aspects of your (Life) trip. 

Because you see God will always be sitting in the driver's seat. And you realize you were too stubborn, and could not see the big picture. You would not let go of the gear shift. But one day you will come to a crossroad, a road eventually we all must travel and there you will be so weak you will willingly surrender ... 

So, I suggest that we surrender from a position of strategy by looking at the bigger picture. He is sitting in the driver’s seat!!! So, Let go, give him full control! And then Kick back and enjoy the ride.

So, the decision becomes do I surrender my keys now or do I wait until I am weak, and I surrender them anyway.

I would further ask what is it that we value so much in this world that we would not want to surrender to Him??? Personally, He already has my keys. I gave them to Him when I surrendered my heart. And now like any child, I ask Him... are we there yet!!! Because it’s been a heck of a ride so far.

It's Him. it’s always Him. 

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Peter 5:6 -10 ESV
