Our contentment and hope and joy is not found in this world.

Only in Jesus will we ever find true contentment, hope and joy. 
This world is fleeting and we are here to glorify the Lord and bring others along our journey while we are here. 

The only true contentment is in Jesus our Lord.

1Timothy 6:6-10
For godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  (There are no u-hauls behind a hearse)
And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Money in itself is not evil, it is the love of it. We need money to live on this earth.
Our Lord supplies all our needs, not our greed's!

Remember, Jesus said in the four sower of the seeds, that the cares of this world and deceitful riches, and the desire  for other things, choke the word of God out of your life.

We all have stuff to make our life more livable, but we are not to set our hearts on the stuff.

Hebrews 13:5
Let your conduct be without covetousness, be content with such things as you have.  For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you"

Philippians 4:11
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.

When we are content in the Lord, we will have a joy inside bubbling up, and we will always have hope.

Beloved, our time is short on this earth, we spend a lifetime collecting all kinds of things, we store some away, I also am guilty of this fact, but I see that we spend good money for things that we will never take with us.

Time for all of us to set our priorities in order.
People are what is important to the Lord. We need to sell those stored things, and give the money for the work of the Lord.

Remember Jesus said sell what you have and give to the poor.

Let's be content in all the Lord has provided, praise Him and thank Him often for all His provision.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
