Considering Sins

        The light of Jesus exposes all our sins. If you hide from him, your sins remain with you for all eternity! Something you must consider, unless you have no sin or believe that you sins need not be forgiven.

Beautiful Sight & Sweet Feeing

        Today the Lord makes me see that a soul that's repenting and returning to him is a most beautiful sight. He also makes my heart feel that having him touch and purify it is a most sweet feeling. 

Happiest Person Status

        The Lord has already made me the happiest person in the whole world. Therefore, I do not envy anyone who is happy, but is concerned about everyone who is unhappy.

About Saving Others

        I like or feel sorry for many people despite the fact that they neither know nor wish to consider Jesus seriously, for they told me that they are at peace with themselves. I do wish all of them to be saved and reason that surely God would save them since he is infinitely more compassionate than I. Then what if these people have never asked God to forgive their sins for they do not know him? Certainly, God wishes to save everyone, but not everyone gets saved. Since I do not read hearts, I just have to leave it at that and "limit" myself to praying for and loving everyone, letting God take care of the rest.   

Enjoying the Lord

        Communion experience. I had the privilege of having the Lord all to myself.

Same Either Way

        Whether you receive unexpected joy or sorrow, Jesus is drawing you closer to him.

Absolutely True

        If heaven will be our home, then "there is no place like home" not only rings true, but is absolutely true.

Hope of Peace

        There will be hope of peace in the world only if we recognize and believe that the love of God can transform the world.

Always an Opportunity

        Whether you feel helpless or hopeful, it's an opportunity to lean upon the Lord even more.

Sharper Contrast

        As the world gets uglier and uglier, Jesus appears more and more beautiful. 

(Un)reality

        Here is a typical ad you see on billboards or a magazine page ~ a man dressed in a classy suit, looking handsome, standing in front of a luxurious car, showing an expansive name watch on his wrist ~ as if this is what life is all about.

Limiting Suffering

        Whenever I am sick and not feeling well, I think of the suffering of the souls in hell. When I am alive in the world, suffering is only temporary and I can always offer it up to God. In hell, not only is it everlasting, but also you can no longer offer it up. Therefore, make absolutely sure that you suffer in this life only and then rejoice. 

Wonder of Light

        It strikes me that the fact light travels at a never-changing speed of 186,000 miles a second and nothing can go faster than light is a wonder, pointing to me that God exists and saying "God is light" makes perfect sense.

Wild-Goose Chase

        The people of the world accumulate material things, eat at restaurants, take vacations trips . . . their seek happiness, but they find that nothing is completely satisfying and any enjoyment only temporary. For if you have truly found happiness, you would cease pursuing anything. Therefore, finding happiness in things of the world is limited and essentially a wild-goose chase.

Missing Piece

        Think about this. You run into Jesus, find out that God loves you to death, and he changes you to love him and all your brothers and sisters ~ this is an earthshaking breakthrough! Life has found its missing piece ~ you are now linked to God! It's a complete turning around, a shake-up, an epiphany . . . whatever you want to call it. Rejoice!

Forever Belonging

        Communion experience. Once I belong to Christ, I am his forever, and I'll be safe forever.

        

        Note. For the next 3+ weeks, I may not be able to blog regularly, but I'll jot down whatever good thoughts the good Lord places in my heart and resume blogging likely from Easter Sunday, March 27, on. I pray that all of you will have a most joyful Easter celebration. God be with you.

Astounding Sayings

        In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 5, Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." We are used to hear the sayings of Jesus and not think much about them, especially if we've heard them many times before. But if you pause and "look closer," you can realize that they are truly astounding, coming from a man. Such is the case here. While human law is subject to change, Jesus knew that God's law stands forever.

God Our Fixer

        Communion experience. We are created by God, so only he can save us, free us, and make us holy to be like him.
