Love on a Higher Level

        When we love others, the most we can do is to wish them well, pray for them, and help them with their needs in whatever way possible ~ we have no power to save their souls. Then we have God whose love for all is infinitely greater than ours and who can save our souls ~ it's love on an entirely higher (deeper) level.  

Shortening Our Purgatory

        When we accept and offer up our sufferings to God, it becomes part of our purgatory.

Beginning the Journey of Salvation

        Since my last post on March 1, the Lord has given me a number of thoughts which I shall post on this Easter of 2016. Naturally, everything will have to do with him, since anything unrelated to him is not worth mentioning. 

        We all are capable of loving others. If you are aware that your love originates from God who is love, you have begun your journey to salvation.

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!
