LOVE

Love is patient, love is kind, it is not selfish, it is not proud, love never boasts, love is humble and steady, love never quits, it doesn't hold anger, love forgives. Love is timeless, it doesn't care who is wrong or right, love is the most perfect uncertainty, Love sees no obstacles, no sacrifice is ever impossible or undoable. Love never let others be in despair, love doesn't fade it enhances each other's best, love edifies, love strengthens when we are weak and vulnerable. Love brings light and hope at our darkest times. Love sees no limit, circumstances, age, it doesn't require logic, simply faith, respect, and trust. Love only focus in what else one can do to please, to bring joy, peace, comfort, love is a place where people always should finally find home. Love blossom from friendships, admiration, in moments lost in time, love is the only commitment that outlast life itself, it never runs, even when pain rises, when difficulties is all we see, that is when Love grows. Love is the unbending tie of two hearts, that since that very first time two people got lost in each other's eyes, it is what we are born from, live for, and that even long after we die, will continue telling our story, Love is the only chance we have and being the best of what we were born for!

A new year, be encourage, strengthen your faith, lead your heart, trust in God!

Father, Jehovah my God let me start this year along with my family and friends being strengthen in Your word, solidifying myself and helping others to do the same in Your truth, please Father, help me bring hope to the hearts who are almost loosing it, light the way to them so they can see it clearly Your pure and unmatched, and unending love for us. Lord, this is only my simple prayer, but guide me this coming year to Your words, the ones others and me need to hear and to be reached by, I pray for restoration of marriages, for vices to be broken, and for families to realize how important it is to stand side by side in every situation and under Your name and truth and promises. I ask You this in the name of my Savior Jesus Christ, Amen!
We all have our lives to live and know that one day we will also leave this realm, but in the book of Psalms 39:13 it tell us that at times we may hope God is looking away from us so that we can find a way to deal with our mistakes and in better words it says; "O look away from me and spare me, that I may recover cheerfulness and encouraging strength and know gladness before I go and am no more!". To find strength and know gladness before i go, before i die, that to me shows that life is not suppose to be easy, there will be trials, there will be mountains to climb, oceans to cross, storms to survive, but no matter where we are, and what we may be doing, we have to find the time to say to ourselves recover, strengthen and rejoice even in our worst, give the glory to God at all circumstances, the lemon life just gave you may be to make lemonade and quench your thirst, the pain you may be going through may be to heal someones hurt. Establish who you are and who you want to be, write it down, posted in a place you have to see it and be reminded every day of where you should be walking towards, in Acts 14:22 it says; " Establishing and strengthening the souls and the hearts of the disciples, urging and warning and encouraging them to stand firm in the faith, and telling them that it is through many hardships and tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God." so as you can see the gates of heaven is narrow and comes with much faith and endurance.
Next I would like to share Philippians 2:1-2 which says so much in so few words; " So by whatever appeal to you there is in our mutual dwelling in Christ, by whatever strengthening and consoling and encouraging our relationship in Him affords, by whatever persuasive incentive there is in love, by whatever participation in the Holy Spirit we share, and by whatever depth of affection and compassionate sympathy.
Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention." Ask yourselves what is it in God's promises, in His words that appeals to me, what is it in His love that makes me want to have more and more, and how is it that I can afford to believe in every other book, theories of evolution and big bangs, but not give this Love story full of life and joy be too filled with questions and not worthy of my attention... I know my answer, and I am the only one who can answer for myself, I realized that I will be judged, that I will be very much criticize, called names, and persecuted for my beliefs, as we Christians are the only class of society that can be made fun of, criticize, and called hypocrites when we dare to fail, we are held to a hire stander by society and because of it our failures are often more exposed than others who constantly "choose" to live their lives in sin. SO again I bring you to Philippians 2, where I see this verses this way; "Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining against God and questioning and doubting among yourselves, lean not in your own strength, for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you, energizing and creating in you the power and desire, both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guiltless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish, faultless, unrebukable in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation, spiritually perverted and perverse, among whom you are seen as bright lights, stars or beacons shining out clearly in the dark world, Letting the same attitude and purpose and humbleness mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus, Let Him be your example in humility, whose name should and must make every knee bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth." This is how I see it I know that it is not in the perfect way that was written but it is in the perfect way God today wanted me to write it to you.
Do all things in humility,humbleness, in like manor of Jesus and you will be living a life worth living, it is not where you are in life today, what kind of car you drive, the clothing you are wearing, or even the street and house you live in that will represent who you are, let your light shine in 2010, let His light shine through you, and the same words God once woke me up at 5 am in a dream telling me to read it, I will say it to you, " YOU MUST DECREASE,SO I CAN INCREASE". He told me three times to get up and read this words from John 3:30, the third time after me ignoring thinking that was just a dream and that I will read later when i get up, He shove me up into a sitting position and in the dark i reach for my Bible which was right next to me, turn the light on and proceeded to try to find this John 3:30 just to find out that there are 3 Johns in the Bible but only one has a 3:30, and when i read i was confused, but now couple years ahead I understand and thank God daily for helping me understand that with out getting to know Him and letting Him increase in me I would always be just me, but because I did what He asked me to, I am a constant testimony of what can happen when we completely surrender our lives to Christ!
Wishing you all a blessed new year, filled with love, good health, happiness, and much success, and that all these blessings shall be abundant enough that you can share with others,in Jesus name I say, HAPPY NEW YEARS!

LESS THAN I WANT TO BE, MORE THAN I EVER WAS...

Father, hear my cry, fill my soul...
Let Your love in my heart overflow,
Your truth let it run through my veins,
may Your knowledge restore my failing brain,
and Your wisdom my choices sustain,
so that my decisions are not wasted in vain...
Father, hold me up, give me the courage,
to face my weakness, and others still encourage...
Give me the strength to conquer all,
so that Your words and truth i never let it fall...
Blessed me with Your presence in my every way,
undeserving, unmerited I reach for You as I pray,
unqualified, empty, lacking much, I come to You,
believing, foreseeing that I'll make it through...
Father, i need Your mercy and grace,
in Your unconditional love I'll continue to embrace...
You sanctify me and set me apart,
chose me from before this life i could even start...
You looked over me, protected me, kept me save and secure,
kept me walking through the pain, as that You help me to endure.
What is in my heart You surely know,
but it is in Your heart that i want to grow...
Father, from my flooded soul filled from Your loving heart I come,
alone I am not much, but in You and with You everything I become...
So please my Father, continue to fill my soul,
life has not been easy, storms continue to blow...
From me please never stand afar,
I may stray apart, but You are my only guiding Star...
Less than I want to be, more than I ever was,
chosen even with all my flaws...
Yesterday I was just me,
today I am just what You see,
but tomorrow, is in Your glory I want to be...

QUESTIONS OF HOPE, FAITH, AND BELIEVE...

Knowledge enriches one's mind,

love gives it the reasoning and the opportunity to be contagious,

to be grateful, now faith when we let it run wildly through us can feed our every need and wants.

Faith gives us the ability to reach into our future, and see what we want to face when we get there, faith let us breath peacefully as we know God is in control.

Believe, smile, stay focus, stand in and for what you believe, look to bless, to touch ones heart every day, don't take for granted the gifts which makes you who you are, share them, smile a little more, even better make others smile a lot more.

Bring sunshine for those cover by clouds, bring rain for the ones in doubt, give freely not just money but time, love, affection, a word, HOPE, believe in someone, take chance, stretch out, make today be the day you were made to be...

Gods is awesome, He has unlimited, indescribable power and ALL THINGS CAN BE DONE WITH GOD AND THROUGH CHRIST.

I just hope i can be the man He made me to be, how about you?

WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART...

" A man's heart plans his ways, but the Lord direct his steps, blessed is the man who listens, My son, give attention to my words, incline your ear to My saying, do not let them depart from your eyes, keep them in the mist of your heart, for they are life to those who find them and health to all their flash, keep your heart with all diligence as from out of it springs the issues of life. " MY SON GIVE ME YOUR HEART AND LET YOUR EYES OBSERVE MY WAYS! " What is in your heart? What do you keep living, developing, maturing in your heart? Is your heart hard, bitter, infertile, incapable to grow anything new and good? Life and all it's disappointments may have done a job in your heart as in many of us, but God says to guard our heart with all our might, as out of it will flow the issues of life, how we treat a friend, our kids, parents, siblings, and everyone we may ever come in contact with, we create huge walls, we guard our heart so much that we forget who we are, and all our dreams, as they become stupid in our own eyes, they become fairy tales, stories that as kids we heard about. The most common, and the most sad of all is the forever happy till death do us part, love, the greatest power of all do not fail, not if you are walking in God's ways, as God said where two people stand together in His name He will be there and whatever door He opens, no man or evil can destroy or shut. And you may say that you go to church, I sing praises to Him, but i still struggle, to KNOW GOD AND HIS WORDS is a every day, every moment wasted away in a day effort, it is a constant battle to WANTING to better ourselves, it takes FORCEFUL CHOICES, AN INTENSE CRAVING TO KNOW HIM, no one wakes up every day and just spend hours and hours lost in the Bible, and studying and meditating in God's words because they love to read , but the ones who attempt to, they make a choice to know all they can about God and His ways, regardless of the time of day or how we feel... My friends all i can say from the bottom of my heart is that, to know God and His words truly is life, peace, strength, hope, and health for those who diligently seek it, all I know is that after so many miracles in my health, my life, Pastors bringing words they thought God wanted someone to hear, and they just describe to the dot all I am going through, and even what i wrote about the day before, I can surely say and proclaim with out fear how great is our God, and how great it is to serve Him, as I know I may often give my last dollar away, knowing that none of my needs will ever go with out being supplied to me and my family. I'm just a man following what I believe God has set the way for me, my life has never been so humble, so meek, and yet I never felt so strong, so peaceful, and with love overflowing from my heart, enough to make me conquer sickness, the absence of a computer, writing late nights, when I can use someones computer, or writing from my cell phone, where I am in life, what I have, no longer matter, YOU MATTER, YOUR FRIENDS MATTER, PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS THEY MATTER, me, I matter to God as every single one of you do.

RIDING THE WAVES OF LOVE...

Love is an ocean wide,

filled with tears that we cry...

Never knowing when is the next tide,

or when our hearts will run dry...

I feel the wind blowing through my soul,

I hold on tight, never letting it go

I ride the waves that life in me bestow,

and when i crash I'll let you know,

how this pain can brake one's heart,

but eventually from it will depart...

So keep traveling this ocean wide,

keeping God right by your side.

So please don't ever hesitate,

we only have one life, make your own fate.

Love is like the ocean, goes on for miles,

it is beautiful, it is rough, but it is worth our wile.

Find the rainbow that births from the sea,

love is the treasure at the end that will set you free.

And when you can't see where the ocean's end,

like love and pain, ocean and sky just blends.

It's a game of give and take

and many times one heart will brake

Bring tears to your eyes,

filling in that ocean wide

hurt and beauty no one denies,

but a picture perfect inside hide

an everlasting feeling for you and me

the most imperfect perfection two will get to be.

Riding the waves of love crazy seas...

An Ordinary Man With An Extraordinary God!

Let Your glory shine the light on me,

light the way for the things I can't see.

Lord, I raise my hands to heaven and shout,

Don't let this fire inside burn out.

Hear me praise and let Your glory reign,

hear my prayers, let not my cry go in vain.

I'm holding on to the promises that You made,

because in my heart those words will never fade.

I'm just a simple ordinary man,

walking by faith following Your plan.

And even if in the natural I don't stand a chance,

with You by my side I'm willing to take a glance.

In all the things You'll lead me to do,

and in the moments You'll strengthen me through.

Father I'll be listening to my heart when You whisper,

till Your voice becomes clear and crisper.

I'll never stop singing praises in Your name,

Jehovah God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, all one in the same.

Creator, Savior, and Redeemer of all,

The Ones in Whom I'll trust and call

In all the moments of happiness or pain,

for those moments I may think I can no longer sustain.

So let Your love flow through me,

let Your words from my heart run free.

To win hearts, lives, to glorify all that You are.

Let them be near or far...

Let Your words fly, finding the right eye,

let them be the reason that wipes away their cry.

Feed their soul,

so that their foundation from You, and in You can grow.

One ordinary man, holding on to an extraordinary God,

trying hard to spread The Gospel abroad.

With one goal; pure salvation,

reaching and winning hearts in many nations.
