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

God's Comfort

Gods comfort. There's nothing more awesome than God's comfort. Picture God there when you're sad or hurting. He is there with arms open wide, waiting for you to snuggle up to Him. He'll take your cares away. Just like your earthly dad, He loves you so much. Better yet, God loves you so much more than your earthly dad ever could. You are His child. God's comfort is so peaceful and loving. You can't ever get that feeling from anywhere else. God's comfort is such a joy.

                            Bask in the peace of God's

                                     comfort today.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord

Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God 

of all comfort....

        2 Cor. 1 : 3

Precious Silence

I come into Your little house Lord. Nothing like sitting with You. Praising You, I am so grateful for everything that You do for me in this precious silence. Praying to You, asking for help for my loved ones, and for strength to carry on in this life in this precious silence. Talking to You, telling You of how I am, good or bad in this precious silence. I sense You whispering to me, You direct me to the right path in this precious silence. I see Your Presence so clearly in this precious silence.   

           Enjoy His Precious

               Silence today!

The object of Eucharistic Adoration is the divine person of Jesus

Christ, present in the Blessed Sacrament. There is nothing

greater or holier we can do on earth than this adoration.

            -St. Peter Julian Eymnard

A Holy Place

Everyone should have a holy place where they can go which is holy for them. A place that

brings them close to God. People need a place to spiritually cleanse their minds. The beauty of such a place can bring peace to one's soul. A holy place has a silence in its halls that can enable the soul to hear the quiet voice of God. The love of His words can fill the soul's heart.

            Spend some time in that holy place.

                           

As you enter the house, salute it. And if

the hose is worthy, let your peace come 

upon it....

                

                Mat. 10 : 12 & 13

                                                                                                          

Praising God with Melody

Oh how much more we get out of our praising if we praise our Almighty with song. A hymn with melody is such sweetness to the ear of the soul. It is even more sweetness to the ears of God. The echo throughout the sanctuary is such a beautiful sound. It makes the soul come alive with pure joy. The soul shows that it is so loved with its maker by the sound in the melody of which that soul makes.

                          Sing a joyful sound.

How I wept, deeply moved by your hymns, songs,

and the voices that echoed through your church!

What emotion I experienced in them! Those sounds

flowed into my ears, distilling the truth in my heart. 

A feeling of devotion surged within me, and tears

streamed down my face - tears that did me good.

                             ~St. Augustine

Love and Mercy

God calls us to give love and mercy every day of our lives. St. Aquinas once wrote, "To love is to will the good of another." As God's children, we are asked to love and care for another in good times and bad times, especially in times of need. We are meant to be understanding and kind creatures. To give of our faith and share what we have is what pleases God the most. We are able to love and to give because God loves us first. We are expected to be merciful to those who are less fortunate. Charity is just one of the ways that bring us closer to God.

           Let give of ourselves every day.

Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; 

maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.

Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from

the hands of the wicked.

      

                                ~Psalms  82: 3+4     

                            

Spirit

So many people today live in the world. They are confused and troubled. They can find no medium ground. They're trapped because they don't know the Spirit of God. If only people could stop and listen to the wind of the Spirit. Learn how to live in that Spirit. People would feel the peace and love of God. Their minds would be clear and refreshed. Oh what a better place this world would be.

  

 Rely on the wind of the Spirit. 

If we live by the spirit, let us also

walk by the spirit.

         ~Galatians 5:25 

The Peace of God

Sometimes when we are in the midst of challenging things we can move away from the peace of God. We can trap ourselves into thinking we can never do this thing right or we'll never get this done.  We must take a moment to focus on God. Take time to go do something that reminds us of God. Nature is the perfect place to get back to the peace of God. There's something quiet when we look at nature that makes us calm down and God's peace comes back to us. For when we have the peace of God within us, we can get things done.

                              Take a look at nature today.

 How blessed are those who love You!

They will rejoice in Your peace....

      Tobit  13:14

Cross on The Bedroom Wall

What do you think about when you look at the cross on the bedroom wall? Do you think about your life in Jesus? Is it His life, or the death He died for you? The Crucifix can be a great instrument of meditation. It can help you enter into a state of prayer you wish to be in. A quiet reminder of God. Ask what you want of Him in this state. Jesus died upon that cross for you. He died for the love of you. To make you innocent in His Blood. He offered Himself up for you. Offer yourself up for Him. 

                    Pray Before the cross today.

      

A man who was completely innocent offered himself as a

sacrifice for the good of others, including his enemies, and

became the ransom of the world. It was a perfect act.

~Mahatma Gandhi
