***True Love Is . . .

pure and completely selfless. Our love for others in the world is never quite pure, while God's love for us is so pure that it's able to transform us to become like him. Compared to his love, our own love for others is not true love at all.

**How to Be with God*

        Communion experience. The Lord is the one for us to live in, to die in, and to remain in forever.

**Acknowledgement**

        When you call Jesus "My Lord and my God" from your very heart, you acknowledge that you now belong to him.

***Question I Still Want to Ask*

        The Lord God our Father has already paved the way for us to enter heaven thru his Son Jesus—are you to just say "No, thanks" and turn away? Are You?

**Unbelief vs. Faith

          Not believing in Christ is easy—you just live for yourself. You think you are in control, but you are really not at all. In fact, you can end up losing everything! To have faith in Christ is only somewhat hard when you are deciding whether to follow him or not. Once you've decided to follow him, your journey becomes a total joy. Now you can soar to new heights and end up inheriting all that the Father has prepared for you in heaven.   

***Going All the Way!***

         Christ is a real person. Because he is almighty, it is possible for us to attain the most intimate union with him. And following him becomes effortless and a joy. The Lord is to be experienced and enjoyed. The first requisite is that you be completely open to him; don't allow any uncertainty, doubt. or reservation to get in your way. It's total abandonment time—you make the plunge and never look back, and you'll be happy that you did it.

***Keeping Door to Heaven Open***

        Communion experience. I wish to surrender myself to Christ totally, but there may still be rebellious streaks in me I am not even aware of. I ask the Lord to take them away too. Now the door to heaven is wide open for me.

*****Know the Situation We're In (Warning!)**

        Today the Lord made me see clearly that in this universe that contains our earth, we are the only agitators rebelling against and betraying him, creating disorder and chaos in the process; while he is to be loved and obeyed with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. Will we ever wake up to realize the pitiful state we're in? To sleep thru life is easy, but what we'll have to pay for that is too horrible to even think about!

***Church Losing Her Tradition***

         It All began with Vatican II. Pray that the Lord will completely purify and restore his Holy Church.

***Recipe for Making Heaven Our Home

        Acknowledge that God is our Father in heaven and we are his beloved children, then be genuinely childlike to him.
