***Turn to God Now***

        Because you can become demential, die in sleep, or have a sudden death. 

***The Truth

        Without Christ, we have nothing. 

**Ready for Action**

        When Jesus tells us to always be alert, vigilant, and prepared, he also means that we are to always remain attentive to what he wants us to do. It's always "Lord, here I am, ready to serve you" for us.

***Unthinkable Thought

        Rejecting Christ amounts to saying that he came and died for nothing—this is totally unthinkable! If you cannot prove that he is false in any way, you have no choice but to believe in him 100%, for you are dealing with God! It's all or nothing, no fudging allowed.          

***Unique Pure Joy

        At Mass this morning, I witnessed the large crucifix displayed on the back wall above the tabernacle on the altar. If you do not know anything about Christ, you probably would be shocked to see a dead figure hanging on a cross. When I looked at it, I knew I was looking at my Lord and God who loved me so much that he gave himself up for me so that I might live. Filled with gratitude, I felt pure joy. I don't believe you can possibly create this unique experience under any other circumstances sans the Lord.  

*One Great Joy*

        It is the joy of of having a clear conscience, making us realize that we can experience peace only thru obeying God the Father and our creator. 

*We All Need Prayers

        Know that we need to pray not only for others, but also for ourselves. If we can entrust ourselves to God, we can glorify him even more by doing more good to others.

***Union with God a Must for Us***

        I first posted a video by Robert Nugent about his encounter with Mary and Baby Jesus on January 5 this year. Today I am posting his new video on union with God which I've been advocating since 2010 on this blog.

**Prayer Tips

        If you pray any good prayer that's been written by someone else, still pray with your heart, meaning every word you utter. If you pray directly from your own heart, you always mean what you say, so just remain sincere and open. Communicating with God is to be taken seriously and must involve your heart and mind fully.

***Simple to Become Carefree***

        Live for God only and he completely takes care of you. Now you are carefree. That's all there is to it.
