Add Gentleness To Your Actions

Good Morning!! "Gentleness" how attractive and effective is this quality in the life of a Christian? How do we get it? It's another God-given gift,...given to His children. People reborn, and molded by the Spirit of the living God,...with Jesus as their perfect example. An instinct, that becomes a trait of character. Is it one of your traits?

For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.—James 3:16 (NIV)

Learn from the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.,...when criticized and misjudged, His speech was always seasoned with grace. He was strong and firm in conviction,...but gentle in service and relationships. In His ministry, when pressed by crowds, He took time for children,...for the needy,...for bereaved parents. He was the Guest who never embarrassed the host,...the Friend who loved to forgive both friend and foe.

God’s people are not governed by tradition, heredity, habits, nor mere social pressures,...but rather by the Word and Grace of God.

Our heavenly Father, help us to be unselfish, caring and gentle. May others see something of Christ in us today. In Jesus' name. Amen.

"It's not whats in our hands that makes us thankful,
...it's what in our hearts."

Know God, Know Peace

Good Morning!! "Peace"...it's more than the stopping of wars, the end of violence, or the settling of an argument. Peace is more than just a visit to a quiet place, or listening to the rustling of leaves, moved by a soft breeze. It has nothing to do with the watching of racing waters. While some may find these things peaceful, they're not "peace".

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.—John 14:27 (NIV)

True peace is a gift from God,...it’s the spiritual presence of the living God,...by His Spirit. When true reconciliation between ourselves and God, is consummated,...then there is peace. "The Prince of Peace" is the name prophesied by Isaiah, referring to the anticipated Messiah. Jesus came into this world in such a humble way, and now we hear Jesus in His ministry say, "My peace I give you."

This is our challenge today,...this is our ministry,...through reconciliation of sin and guilt we find peace.

Dear Lord, make us instruments of Your peace today, through the work of Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

"It's not whats in our hands that makes us thankful,
...it's what in our hearts."

If It Doesn't Help, Don't Hold It

Good Morning, It's Wednesday,...Mid-Week, And No Better Time To L.I.G.(Let It Go)!! Did you know it was possible, to become attached to negative feelings?...so much so, that we can find them comfortable and familiar? For many of us, to forgive is possibly the hardest thing God could ask of us.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.—Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)

When we are offended, or hurt we can’t change the heart of the offender, but we can trust in God and His ability to change our heart, as well as that of others. It is a choice we make to forgive, regardless of how we feel, turning our negative thoughts, and anger over to God, allowing Him to heal and mend the situation.

We can hold onto bitterness, but soon find that it has a much greater hold on us.

Father God, help us to not hold so tightly to our anger, that bitterness overtakes our hearts. Today, allow us to make the choice, to release all of our anger and hurt into Your capable hands. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

"It's not whats in our hands that makes us thankful,
...it's what in our hearts."

Dersert Days Have A Purpose

Good Morning!! Have you noticed that God had all of His heroes, spend time in isolation before they were truly ready to do the work He had planed for them? I like to call the period of time, felling alone, as our "desert days". Mark chapter one takes us back to the wilderness,...to the desert of a fallen world,...this is the location where God continues to take us, to build His highway to salvation. In the wilderness John the Baptist called people to the very presence of God,...and points them to the Christ.

Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness:—Mark 1:2b, 3a (NKJV)

A burning bush and a man named Moses; a maid servant named Hagar, kicked out of her home and left for dead in the desert; a nation called Israel, homeless and hungry in the wilderness yet led by cloud and fire. Saul, the murderer of Christ-followers, is blinded by a heavenly light as he travels through the desert on the Damascus Road, and becomes Paul the evangelist. Great things happen for us on the the other side of our wilderness and desert experiences.

Learn to rejoice in your "desert days", it simply means God is getting you ready for a move,
...to bigger and better things.

Sweet Spirit of God, help us to see out times of trials for what they truly are,...a chance to grow stronger in spirit and faith, that may be ready and will to see that; God's Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

"It's not whats in our hands that makes us thankful,
...it's what in our hearts."

Our Keeper, Our Protector

Good Morning, Great Friday!! As we read the Bible, season by season of our life,...we are changed. His Word unfolds in our life like a soft petal that falls from a beautiful flower. His Word is Alive and has changed us, affecting how we deal with daily struggles. His Word brings indescribable peace and light onto our path, and increases our understanding in the simplest ways.

Keep my soul, and deliver me; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You.—Psalm 25:20 (NKJV)

The creative ways in which He always delivers,...reprieves,...and consoles us in our time of trouble, is well timed and fascinating. If God is for us who can be against us? No one whose hope is in God will ever be put to shame. All of His Words motivate.

The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.
(Psalm 119:130)

Father, thank You for providing us the courage and comfort to move forward in Your truth,...Thank You for the guidance of the Holy Spirit,...Thank You for being a friend, like no other.

"If we want to be used by the hand of God, then we must learn to live in the Word of God."

The Lord Speaks

Good Morning!! I learned later in my walk with the Lord to be quiet before Him. I read a scripture passage, and feel God speaking to me. I sometimes determine that the Lord is speaking, because the verse seems special in some way,...applicable in some way, or I consider the verse to be a new perspective. I just stop and ponder, and pray it back to God,...asking Him to make His message clear to me for that day.

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.—Amos 3: 7 (NKJV)

In the quietness, the Lord speaks to our hearts,...often It's just an impression, at first. Pray about it, and ask God questions about the impression, until His wisdom becomes louder than our thoughts or questions. The next step would be to step out on faith, and test the message. If it is the Lord, He will confirm it by giving you similar messages through His Word, or from others,...or by simply bringing it to pass.

God is faithful, and if you ask, He will answer.

Today, we pray our verses to the Lord, knowing that He will reveal His plan to us,...because we long to be His servants, and we want to live in His will. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

"If we want to be used by the hand of God, then we must learn to live in the Word of God."

Talk To The ONE That Knows You Best

Good Morning!! Stop talking to yourself, and start talking to God. If you are late, talk to God about it. If you are confused, ask God about it. What ever you're involved in, include God in it. Talk to Him as a friend, a counselor and a companion. HE says that He's all that, and so much more,...so get to know Him in those ways. In every good relationship, there needs to be two way communication. Prayer obviously is our part in the communication process, with the God,...but the Bible is His way of speaking back to us. Let’s just say it's on your heart to move in a certain direction,...start talking to Him about it. Ask Him to change your heart if it is not His will,...or to lead your heart through the process. Next, go to the Bible, and ask the Lord to give you verses, to guide you in this decision. If some verse pops out to you, pray over it and ask God to make His message clearer through that verse. If He does give you the go ahead, act on it, with the promise He is with you.

You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.—Psalm 139:3 (NKJV)

Know that whatever you include Him in, the Lord will work with you, from people to finances. As you grow in the knowledge of God’s guidance, you will gain a peace in your decisions. But regardless of the outcome, you will have assurance of God’s hand in the process. Walking through these decisions in our life with God, is the only way to assure peace. The more we do it,...the more we grow in our knowledge of God, which leads to a closer walk with Him.

Knowledge bring peace,
...but the knowledge of God, brings everlasting peace that continues to surpass our understanding.

Holy Spirit, help us to start out every day in God’s Word. Help us to keep His Word in our hearts, and minds. Before the day is through, allow us to hear from the Lord on something that has crossed our path. Allow His Word to give us peace and assurance in ways we have even imagined. Help us to see what God will do. Amen.

"If we want to be used by the hand of God, then we must learn to live in the Word of God."

Joy In Trials?

Good Morning!! Do we realistically count it all joy today? Does today's statement even make sense? Let us examine these verses more closely and see if we can better understand what James is saying. One of the main reasons for us to read and study the Bible is not just to learn meaning and content,...but also to learn how to apply its principles to our lives. The Holy Spirit teaches us, and opens our minds to understand what God is saying to us personally through His Word. So, what is God saying to us about trials, faith and patience from these verses?

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.—James 1:2-3 (NKJV)

In these two verses, there are three main points: one; we will fall into different types of trials,...two; our faith will be tested,...and three; patience will be produced from the testing. Today, we deal with all kinds of trials in our lives, and that's a fact. So the issue is not if we will have them,...it's how we will get through them. When we feel as though the battle is too much and the struggles are too intense, how do we respond? Difficulties with marriage, kids, finances, health and daily issues of life can seem overwhelming at times. But James says to "count it all joy" when these problems come. We can only begin to understand the meaning of this statement if we look at the results in our own lives.

There is not much we can do about avoiding such things in life,
...however, we can decide how we want to get through them.

Holy Spirit, help us to "count it all joy" even before we go through our trials, with the assurance in God's Word, that the end result will benefit our faith. Remind us of the many times, that after a trial has passed, we've been able to recognized the benefits it produced in our life. Amen.

"If we want to be used by the hand of God, then we must learn to live in the Word of God."

Who Will You Listen To?

Good Morning!! We live in a world filled with deceit and wickedness,...and this world tells us that pretty much everything is acceptable, on some level. If it feels good, then do it. It you feel bad for doing it, then take a pill or do something else, to feel better. We can always acquire permission from the world to do whatever it takes to make ourselves feel better. Yet, so often, we end up feeling worse, rather than better. From the heights of happiness to the depths of depression we swing. And if we're not mindful, and focused, we'll wake up one day filled with regret, wondering; "What have I done?"

Why has this people slidden back, Jerusalem, in a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit, They refuse to return.—Jeremiah 8:5 (NKJV)

Life is lived one day at a time. Some days are better than others, but everyday belongs to the Lord, as a Christians. When times are hard and depression creeps in, don't look for the instant fix offered by the world,...turn to the Lord. When you feel good about yourself or things in your life, turn to the Lord,...and give Him thanks. None of us want to feel bad, but when the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, we must be willing to repent and to turn from our sin. As we walk daily with the Lord, these convictions keep us from falling into sin's many traps. Listen to the Holy Spirit,...and be willing to change as He guides you.

The only way to walk with the Lord consistently, is to spend time with Him every day.

Holy Spirit, give us ears to hear, and a heart to do,...this we ask in Jesus' name. Amen.

"If we want to be used by the hand of God, then we must learn to live in the Word of God."

Spirit Lead?

Good Morning,...and Thank GOD For Another New Chance To Get It Right!!! Are you living according to your old nature, or are you living by the Spirit? This is not a trick question,...it's an answer that you need to know, for a life more abundant. We often claim to be living by or in the Spirit, when we aren't even close.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.—John 6:63 (KJV)

In Galatians 5, Paul tell us that we can surely know if the Holy Spirit is in charge of our lives. He writes, "[If] sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealously, fits of rage" etc. are part of our lives,...we will know that we are not living by the Holy Spirit. However, when our lives demonstrate love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control,...then we can be sure that we are living by the Holy Spirit of God, for these are the fruit of the Spirit. So again I ask; Are you living according to your old nature, or are you living by the Spirit?

The Holy Spirit won't take us over,...we must yield to Him.

Holy Spirit, you are welcome, come on in,...we acknowledge your presence O' Lord.

"Remember, there is no problem too big for our God."

Grace,The Greatest Gift

Good Morning!! What is the greatest thing you can wish for someone whom you care for very much? Is it wealth or success or fame or wisdom or happiness or even perfect health? As much as Paul may have desired all these things for his brothers and sisters in the churches of Galatia, that which he desired most for them was the grace and peace of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ,—Galatians 1:3 (KJV)

Grace is the gracious, free salvation made possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Peace is the deep sense of spiritual well-being one experiences who is in a right relationship with a holy, just and righteous God. Surely these are the two greatest blessings I could wish for anyone. They are the two gifts I wish for you in the remainder of this year, and the next. They can be yours, no matter what your circumstance or situation is on this day. You can know the grace and peace of God by surrendering your life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Reach out in faith and God will grant you these two precious discoveries today.

Grace: Great Redemption At Christ's Expense.

But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.—Galatians 4:4,5 (KJV)

"Remember, there is no problem too big for our God."

We're Not Meant To Be Alone

Good Morning!! When God put Adam in the Garden of Eden, He gave him everything he needed. He would never get hungry or thirsty. He never had to worry about bad weather, or shelter from the elements. Best of all, Adam had a personal relationship with God,...one can only imagine how wonderful that must have been. But even with all of his needs being met, God knew that Adam was alone. God loved Adam so much that He made a mate just for him,...a woman.

Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.—Genesis 2:22 (NKJV)

In society today, there is much debate about the roles of man and woman, especially related to marriage issues. There are those who disagree with the biblical account of what God intended in creating man and woman and why He put them together in the first place. We get hung up on the concepts, duties and rights of marriage to the point that the true meaning of it is lost. The most basic element of marriage is companionship, to never have to be alone. God's heart for us is that we never feel alone. Whether married or not,...we need friends and relationships that encourage and edify us.

This time of year, loneliness can be especially debilitating and depressing,...to the point of death.

Sweet Spirit of God, remind us to start praying for the Lord's help, whenever we're feeling isolated. Help us to see opportunities to fellowship. Lead us to others, needing to feel the love of God. We may not know exactly what God has in store for us,...but one thing we all can be sure of,...He does not want us to be alone. Amen.

"Remember, there is no problem too big for our God."

Love Like Jesus, And Heal Like Jesus

Good Morning, My Friend!! We've all heard that love brings more love. But did you know that this theory holds up even when the element or issue is pain. Pain can't and won't cause anything but more pain. People everywhere are in pain,...suffering, lost with no idea about how to make it go away. Things get said that cut like a knife,...and no one says; "I'm sorry". Pain and hurt are laid on top of each other,....again and again, until hope, love and peace become; out of reach concepts.

And everyone who has this hope in Him, purifies himself, just as He is pure.—1 John 3:3 (NKJV)

There is a way to stop the pain. First, Stop what you are doing,...don't worry about anyone else's actions. L.I.G. let it go. Love enough to forgive. Yelling, pointing out pass mistakes, anger, blaming or criticizing are not the tools you want to use,....they did'nt work be fore and the aren't about to suddenly start working now. Your life is no mere accident. God carefully crafted you. The purpose of your life is not destroyed by a few mistakes or poor choices. Jesus’ death and resurrection erased the mistakes of your yesterday, revealed the depth of God’s love for your today, and gave you hope for a brighter tomorrow. He loves you and calls you His child, so you can have hope, in Him.

Because of Jesus,...our past does not have to be our future.
We can let go of all those thing that hold us back, or down.

Our Father, let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I am praying for that peace, love and hope be restored to the family and home. I pray that children and parents learn to let go of anything that causes them to be apart. We have a duty to love,...for this is Your will.

"Remember, there is no problem too big for our God."

The Price Of Deception

Good Morning!! Jacob: "one who takes over, especially by tricky means." Laban would have called it a, perfect name, for his nephew. Jacob bribed his brother,...then deceived his father,...and later his uncle. A rock for a pillow couldn’t have been comfortable, but neither were Jacob’s inner contradictions. His life was out of joint. Like so many of us today, outwardly he looked to be well off,...but in relationships he was poverty-stricken.

Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome."—Genesis 32:28 (NIV)

A life filled with half-truths and deceptions, eats away at our integrity. Jacob wrestles with God,...in the form of a man, and picks himself up from the desert sand with a new name,...Israel. In the exchange the God-man breaks his hip,...and blesses him. Like Jacob, we can at times be dishonest with ourselves, with others, and even with God. But such deception brings about anger,...and anger demands appeasement,...Israel attempted to appease his brother with many gifts. For us, only one appeasement will do, to mend our relationship with God. Jesus has provided it, through the bitter cross. HE appeased divine judgment against sin,...yours and mine.

Honest self-examination is painful, yet brokenness often lead to wholeness,
...and it gives birth to a restored relationships with God and others.

Father, make us whole, within and without. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

"Remember, there is no problem too big for our God."

A Frim Foundation

Good Morning!! For those around us, that want and need to know they are loved, our acts of love, speak more vividly to their hearts than our words. The impact our lives have on others, is most often made from our day to day activities,...the way we handle and respond to everyday situations,...and our children are no exception.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.—Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)

It is these seemingly small, everyday actions and reactions, that have the greatest impact in how their opinions and character gets formed. The bible teaches that when children have a firm foundation in the ways and Word of God, they will not be easily uprooted and the storms of life will not consume them. Give them the ability to stand strong in Christ.

If we will continue to seek Christ as our example, He will enable us to be good examples to our children,...and anyone else that comes into our lives.

Our Father in Heaven, allow our lives to be a blessing and example to our children and to all those who know us. Re-create us in Your image and enable us to live the example of Your Word, so that our actions will speak Your love and truth. Amen.

"If the Lord truly directs our steps, why would we need to understand every little thing along the walk."

Is Heaven For You?

Good Morning!! Learning about life after death is almost useless,...if we're not getting ready to stand before the judgment seat of God. Those who haven't received Jesus Christ, as Savior and Lord, are like the prodigal son,...who was lost and dead in sin. When we give our lives to Jesus, we are found! But as wonderful as heaven will be,...our ticket to heaven must be punched on this side of death. We don't know when our lives will end, or when Christ will return,...so we should not miss the urgency of the moment.

But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.—Luke 15:32 (NIV)

If you are reading this devotional as a once lost son or daughter who has come to life and has been found by the grace of God, then let the love of Christ and the anticipation of heaven motivate you to reach out to those who are still lost. Sadly, we often act like the older brother, thinking that we have earned the father’s love and failing to give others a second chance. Churches can become inward focused rather than life-saving stations for those who desperately need Jesus.

Heaven is for believers.

Loving Father, thank You for making heaven possible for us all! Amen.

"If the Lord truly directs our steps, why would we need to understand every little thing along the walk."

Already, And Not Yet

Good Morning!! We're living in an "already/not yet " period of human history. The already/not yet principle explains both the hope and heartaches of life. We already know that Jesus is victorious. We already receive salvation through his atoning work, and we experience many joys and gifts from God. But we are not yet with him. We experience the pain of separation, and must wait to see Jesus face to face.

Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"—John 20:17 (NIV)

Now, Jesus has died, risen, and ascended,...yet, we're still awaiting his second coming, and our own resurrection. He described this time to Mary while they talked outside of the empty tomb. Our calling, in this moment, is not to sit back idly,...but to make the most of each opportunity. We can share the good news,...be a blessing in the lives of others,...serve the Lord in the church and world,...impact the kingdom,...live as faithful stewards,...and experience abundant life. We can also look forward to the glory that awaits.

"My knowledge of that life is small, the eye of faith is dim, but it’s enough that Christ knows all, and I shall be with him."
(Richard Baxter)

Savior, give us patience as we celebrate the already,...and await the not yet. Amen.

"If the Lord truly directs our steps, why would we need to understand every little thing along the walk."

Call It What It Is

Good Morning!! There are so many ways to describe our human frailties, and failures. The Bible often uses words like transgressions or iniquities. Sometimes when we are trying to water down what we’ve done, we might use the words slip-up or fall, or my favorite an error in judgment. "Mistakes were made,"...as politicians like to say,...without admitting to anything. But what we're really talking about here is; sin,...plain and simple.

And the LORD asked me, "What do you see, Amos?" "A plumb line," I replied. Then the Lord said, "Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer".—Amos 7:8 (NIV)

Amos describes sin in terms of a "plumb line", so the people could better understand it. A plumb line was the way of determining if a building was built straight, or whether it was leaning,...so being "out of line" is another way to describe sinful behavior. God gives us many guides today to tell if we are "out of line". From the time of Moses, to the time of Jesus, the Ten Commandments has always been best guide for living "straight".

Follow Jesus' example,...it's the only way for us to measure up.

Lord, forgive us for the times we are out of line. We pray Your Holy Spirit, to make us upright, straight,and true. Amen.

"If the Lord truly directs our steps, why would we need to understand every little thing along the walk."

We'll See Each Again, But Better

Good Morning!! Often, Christians who've lost loved ones, talk about seeing them again in heaven. But is this just wishful thinking,...or is it a true longing, that's biblically supported? When people ask me whether we will be able to recognize one another in heaven, I share why I believe we will. First, Jesus was recognizable after His death. Once they accepted the reality that He was alive, Mary, the two disciples on the road to Emmaus,...and eventually all the other disciples saw and recognized Him. Second, others were recognizable, including Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration. How did Peter recognize two men he had never met, yet call them by name (v. 4)?

And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.—Matthew 17:3 (NIV)

And finally, our God is a relational God,...one who longs to have a relationship with us,...and who created us to have relationships with others. If God created us this way, would He really redeem and restore us, without a sense of recognition in heaven?

Someday, we will see and know our Savior face to face.
By God’s grace, the same will be true when we are reunited with those that we love!

O' Lord, we long to see You, and our loved ones in heaven,...and to be in the company of other believers in glory.

"If the Lord truly directs our steps, why would we need to understand every little thing along the walk."

Learning To Give Our Best,...Not Just What's Left

Good Morning!! Think of all we do to prepare for guests in your home, especially before holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. We clean the house more thoroughly than usual. We may even rush to finish that decorating project we've been putting off. And you know how we throw down in the kitchen,...preparing the best meals we know how to make. All because we really want your guests to feel special.

The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God.—Exodus 23:19a (KJV)

In most cultures it is important to provide the best for guests,...and for most of us, doing so seems so natural. Then, why does it not seem natural to give our best, " the choicest of the first fruits", to God? Perhaps it's because we sometimes see God more as a tax collector than an honored guest.

Let's try thinking of God as a guest in our home, heart and life, and see if it becomes any easier to offer Him our best.

Father, we give back to You the choicest of our first fruits this Holiday Season,...as we try to remember that You deserve our finest all year long, as well. Amen.

"Walking with God means love,....because God Is Love."

Selfless, Rather Than Selfish

Good Morning!! We want our relationships to work, we want to feel peace and contentment in our lives. But we won't find it in seeking to be served, or seeking more pleasure for ourselves, or seeking to find ourselves. The peace and contentment we so desperately seek, can be found only in seeking to please and serve God first, and in giving and serving others above ourselves. A philosophy that contradicts modern day thinking,...but a true one none the less.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.—Mark 10:45 (NIV)

Self-help,..Self-improvement,..Self-serving. Seeking to serve self is like an infection that spreads,...it infects, and affects every aspect of our lives,...relationships, marriages, families, and even our business dealings. Our self-interest or self-centered-ness may seem harmless enough at first,...and is often presented in a manner that sounds almost needed. But ultimately it's damaging,...it negatively effects our relationship with God,...and with others, as we become more and more self-absorbed.

It's never just about us.
We are love that we may love.
We are blessed that we may become a blessing.
We are healed and comforted, so that we may provide healing and comforting.

It's only in the center of God's will, and in His service that Christians find their heart's desire.

"Walking with God means love,....because God Is Love."
