God's Kingdom

Our place on earth has an end, earth has an end. Miraculously, there is no end for us when earth comes to an end. God will bring us to another world. He will bring us to God's Kingdom. We know this and this knowledge is awesome! God truly loves us. In God's Kingdom, everything is beautiful, everything is perfect. We will get to see the face of God and of Jesus Christ. Our lives will go on but without pain or sorrow. We will have no illnesses and our bodies will be brand new. Heaven, God's Kingdom unlike earth, will be everlasting.

           We will be in God's Kingdom someday.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your
dominion endures throughout all generations.

~Psaims 145 : 13

  

Circumstances

 In all circumstances, we should pray to God. We can ask God for help in all our trials. We are able to live in God's light through our difficult circumstances and hopefully have a peaceful end to these hard times. In joyful circumstances, we can and should give God the praise and the glory for His love and kindness.

Give God the glory in all circumstances.


I want you to know brothers, that my circumstances 

have really served to the greater progress of the gospel....

~Philppians 1 : 12


                               

 

Peace

Peace should be at the very center of your being, where God is. Peace should fill your soul. God is the only one who can give you true perfect peace, the peace you long for. Peace is perfect happiness. God wants all His children to be at peace, He wants all His children to come to Him.

           Come & and be in the peace of God today.


Peace I leave with you; My peace I                                                                                                give to you....

    ~John 14 : 27

Daddy God

How wonderful it is to be able to call God daddy or whatever His children choose to call Him. It is because of the great love that is between God and His children. We are able to call Him something endearing. No doubt He calls us endearing names as well. God created us, we are special to Him. Daddy God takes care of us, He protects us as a father would and He also comfort us. He holds us dear to His heart. 

         
                 Whenever you want, rest on Daddy God's lap. 


                                     That's my Daddy God!               


              ~ Vicky Cain


Prayer

Prayer is the beautiful conversation between God and His children. We can pray for everything and anything we want or need. There are forms of prayers, but all are beautiful and wonderful to God. Prayer can lead to serenity and to peace. If we listen to Him, prayers can lead to good and sound decisions in our lives. Blessings and graces can be received from praying. Prayer can bring us closer to God, make us to grow more in love with God. Prayer is a way of life for God's children.

            
                Go to God with your needs in prayer.

Now, O my God, let thy eyes be open and thy
ears attentive to a prayer....

   ~2 Chronicles 6 : 40
 

Blessed Mother Mary

Mary was simply an instrument used by God. That is simply not so. God hand picked Mary to be the mother of His Son, Jesus. Jesus was born of Mary because of her faithfulness and obedience to God.  Her answer was "fiat," yes. She is to be respected as the mother of God. While we honor Mary, she directs us to her Son who we are to follow only and completely. Her Son is Lord of all. We, God's children are truly thankful for the Blessed Mother Mary's selfless fiat.

                 We honor you, Mother Mary! 


Totus Tuus ("I am completely yours O Mary")

"From my earliest years, my own devotion to Mary was
  deeply joined to my faith in Christ."

~St. Pope John Paul II

From: Crossing the Threshold of Hope

 

Him Alone

God wants us to think of Him as our main source for everything we want and need. We should always seek Him and Him alone. In all actuality, we need only God's approval, and we don't have to do anything to earn it. He already approves of us. God already loves us and sees the good in us. We are His children. We have the prize when we seek Him. That is unconditional love. Seek Him alone, trust in Him alone and you will know true joy and happiness in your heart.

              Trust in Him and Him alone.

In Christ alone, I place my trust. 
   
   ~Shawn Craig / Don Kogh


Beautiful Eucharist

When we receive Communion, we receive blessings from God and we go in thanksgiving. The  Eucharist is beautiful in that Jesus is with us and remains with us. It is the most powerful force. You can feel the power of Jesus within you. The power gets you through the day, through the week. The promise that Jesus will stay with us until He comes back for us is kept in the Eucharist. We can even sit with Him for awhile at Adoration. So much beauty is offered us in the Body of Jesus. Praise be to God.

                   Receive Jesus in the Eucharist
                             as often as you can.

Hidden in the Eucharist is the way to humility and
faith. Hidden in the Host is the key to love. And in the
Eucharist, most importantly, are the keys to Heaven.

   ~Michael H. Brown

The Way, The Truth & The Life

The only way to live is, by the way, the truth and the life. God's way is the best way known to mankind. It is impossible to go wrong if you live your life in this way. It is your perfect direction. The "way" can only bring you peace and happiness. Scripture and its knowledge can lead you down this path. Scripture is also your perfect direction to living your life. It is the truth. Perfect wisdom is in God. The truth in God's Word cannot lead you astray and that is a promise we can rely on when all else fails. 


                   In your life, live the perfect direction!


How often have I read these words to myself.... They mean, of course, that
the Lord Jesus is truly Lord.... he is the way to the Father.

                  ~Fr. Michael Scanlan, T.O.R

Grace

Grace is a gift from God, God's great love for us, His children. Grace to see, grace to hear, grace to know. Graces are beautiful. Sometimes, you can tell when someone's been touch by grace just by looking at them. They are radiant. God has touched these people with His love. Grace can touch all people if people would let His grace in. Answered prayers are beautiful graces when the prayer has been prayed for a long time. To be met by grace is to be blessed. And to be blessed by God is such a beautiful gift.

                Be touch by grace today.

Into your hands, Oh Lord, we place this great quality of Mother Teresa. 
God grant us the grace to learn and practice this great quality of simplicity
and humility from her.

Ultimate Love

God's love is the greatest treasure we can have. God's ultimate love. The warmth that is around our hearts. This is when God is not just the Father, He's our Father: Abba. No one can love like our Father can. That certain kind of love no one else can have for us. That love can keep us feeling warm all our lives through. It keeps us going. It will never end. Even after our death, God's love will always remain with us.

              Enjoy God's ultimate love forever.


                       
I have loved you with an everlasting
love....
                                                
       Jeremiah  31 : 3

Humbleness

Humbleness is a beautiful trait to possess. It enables your heart to live in freedom. Joy fills your being. Be humble and your life will be full with happiness. It draws a soul closer to God. Love should be the center of your world. Humbleness and love goes hand in hand.


                Be humble and find happiness

  

"The Lord has called me to this way of simplicity
and humbleness and He has pointed this out to me
Himself, and for those that will believe and follow
after me. The Lord has told me He would have me
poor and foolish in this world."

~St. Francis of Assisi
