A Time for Everything.
There is a time for everything,
And a season for every activity under the heavens:
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build,
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to mourn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time for war and a time for peace.
What do workers gain from their toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there. I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.” I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
“When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing! There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were being carried down a quiet path in awe. Leave all decisions to The One {Holy Spirit} Who speaks for God, and for your function as He knows it. God’s actions speak truth and His word is undeniable. His love is everlasting.”
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14 (KJV)
Holy Spirit, Divine Counselor, teach me to decide with You. Let my choices be rooted not in fear or confusion, but in the quiet confidence of Your presence. May every decision flow as naturally as breath, guided by Your wisdom and filled with Your peace. I surrender my plans, my questions, and my uncertainties to You. Lead me down the quiet path of awe, where Your truth speaks louder than my doubts. Remind me that Your love is everlasting, Your word unshakable, and Your purpose for me sure. Help me to listen, to trust, and to follow, knowing that in You, I will never be lost. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Lord and Father, the giver of gifts. Your love surrounds me and fills my life through the food I eat, the home I live in and the work I do. Your generosity satisfies my deepest needs and my greatest desires. May my grateful heart proclaim how good you have been to me. I thank you for every moment of my life, praise and give you all the glory Lord Jesus. Amen — The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. Psalm 145:17-21
In peace I was created. And in peace do I remain. It is not given me to change my Self. How merciful is God my Father, that when He created me He gave me peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is forever true.
John 14:27 (KJV)
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Heavenly Father God, You are the Author of peace and the Keeper of my soul. In You I was created, and in Your peace I remain. Let me not be swayed by the noise of the world or the illusions that seek to redefine me. I ask only to be what You made me to be, whole, beloved, and forever Yours. Thank You and praise You for the mercy that surrounds me, for the truth that cannot be undone, and for the peace that passes all understanding. Help me to rest in this truth today. Let Your Spirit quiet my heart and remind me that I am held in Your eternal love. May I seek and find Your peace, not in striving, but in surrender. Not in changing, but in remembering. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Jesus, I ask you to give me the passion, courage and the compassion to break out of the status “Quo” and live abundantly in freedom and authenticity. Father, God I pray for all others unansweredprayers, that you will bring restoration, healing, financial stability and honor to them, for Your glory! Thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen.
Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein. Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. John 12:1-8
That reflection is piercing and profound, it speaks to the heart of spiritual transformation. Fear cannot coexist with divine love, and only through the Atonement can we truly see beyond illusion into the light of truth.
Lord Jesus, You are perfect love, and in You there is no fear. I come to You with trembling, knowing that only through Your Atonement can I be made whole. Strip away the illusions I’ve clung to, the false images of myself and of You. Let me not be terrified by Your holiness but drawn into it by grace. Teach me to see with eyes of love, not fear. Let Your Spirit guide me into truth, where I no longer hide from Your presence but run toward it. May I accept the Atonement fully, that I may know who I truly am, redeemed, beloved, and free. In Your love, fear dissolves. In Your truth, I find peace. In Your presence, I am home. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen and Amen.
No one can look upon the fear of God unterrified, unless he has accepted the Atonement and learned illusions are not real. And no one reaches love with fear beside him.
1 John 4:18 (NKJV)
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
Each morning is a gift, a chance to remember the goodness of God and the legacy of those who walked in righteousness before us. Their lives echo in our hearts, inspiring us to create new memories rooted in love, truth, and justice. May we live today in such a way that our own memory becomes a blessing to others.
“The memory of the righteous will be a blessing.”Proverbs 10:7
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Father God, thank you for happy memories of others. Give me creative ways to make sweet memories. Thank you for saving my soul, and for those who cared enough to share the gospel with me and their obedience to you. Lord you are my strength and Redeemer the light of your love, grant me courage to guard the truth and to ensure justice in every aspect of life. I thank you, praise and give you all th honor and glory Jesus. Amen
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availed anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. A little leaven leavened the whole lump.
I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. I would they were even cut off which trouble you. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy Neighbor as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. Galatians 5:1-15
Lord Jesus, Father God, our Redeemer and Liberator, Thank You and praise You for the freedom You have given us, not a freedom to serve ourselves, but a holy liberty to walk in love, truth, and grace. Help us to stand firm in this liberty and not return to the yoke of bondage that once held us captive. Let us not be swayed by teachings that seek to justify us by law but instead be rooted in faith that works through love. May our hearts be purified by Your Spirit, and our actions reflect the righteousness that comes by faith. Teach us to love our neighbors as ourselves, to serve one another with joy, and to guard against division and strife. Let Your cross remains our offense to the world, but our glory in You. Strengthen us to run well, to obey the truth, and to resist the leaven that corrupts. We are Yours, Lord, called to liberty, called to love, called to live in the Spirit. May we never forget the grace in which we stand. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and Amen.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new unique day. Help me to appreciate the tasks that come easily and to persevere through those that challenge. Kind Father, thank you for making all believers one in Jesus Christ. Thank you that there are no barriers between us and that all of your children are always welcome in your presence. Help me to treat others the way you treat me. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Jesus. Amen ——————————————— For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26-28
Acts 17:28 (KJV) “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.”
In God you cannot see. Perception is not an attribute of God. His is the realm of knowledge. Yet He created the Holy Spirit as the Mediator between perception and knowledge. Without this link with God, perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your mind. With this link with God, perception will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. That is it’s function as the Holy Spirit see’s it. Therefore, that is its function in truth. In God you cannot see. Perception has no function in God, and does not exist. Yet in Salvation, which is the undoing of what never was, perception has a mighty purpose. Made by the Son of God {Jesus} for an unholy purpose, it must become the means for the restoration of his holiness to his awareness. Perception has no meaning. Yet does the Holy Spirit give it a meaning very close to God’s. Healed perception becomes the means by which the Son of God forgives his Brother, and thus forgives himself. You cannot see apart from God because you cannot be apart from God. Whatever you do you do in Him., because whatever you think, you think with His Mind. If vision is real, and it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit’s purpose, then you cannot see apart from God. The Lord is my source drifting or apart from Him I cannot see.
O Holy Spirit, You are the bridge between my limited sight and the boundless knowledge of God. I surrender the images I have made, the perceptions shaped by fear and separation. I ask You to purify my vision, that I may see with the eyes of love and truth. Let me not drift from the Source of all light. In God, I live and move and have my being. Apart from Him, I cannot see, for He is the light in which I see my brother, myself, and the world rightly. Restore to me the awareness of my holiness. Let healed perception be the path to forgiveness, and forgiveness the path to peace. I choose to see with Your purpose, to think with the Mind of Christ, and to walk in the knowledge that I am never apart from God. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus precious Name Amen and Amen.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, good morning. I love you and thank you for this new day. Father God, help me to be an oak of righteousness, strong, courageous and growing steady and sure through all stages of life. Give me patience to persevere and a beauty that radiates your love and glory. I thank you, praise and give you all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen. ———————— To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. Isaiah 61:3-4
