Lately, my family has been surrounded by death. So I asked myself, what do we know about death? Science does not have much to tell us about death except that we are all dying. We lose 70-100 billion cells a day. However, If you are a believer you can turn to the bible for answers.

Paul says in Philippians 1:21"to live is Christ, to die is gain". As Christ has died, so as believers will we be raised up. As Christ has promised "I will raise you up."(John 6:40 and Revelation 19)

Will it be a direct path to Heaven? Well, there are many who believe there is a time of purging of sins before we are able to sit at the right hand of the Father.

It is a process, we believe when we die we escape this world but we will have to have our life reviewed and, that for some, may be painful (likely for all as we all "fall short"). What we do know is that God loves us unceasingly. In Ephesians 2:4-5 "Gods rich mercy and great love are revealed in His making us alive with Christ". In 1 John 4:19 "We love because he first loved us." In 1 John 3:1 "See what kind of love the Father has given to us".

God is in us all, God is in everything we see. God is with us unto death. Revelation 2:10 Jesus said, "Be with me unto death and I give you the crown of life."

For those that are left behind Joshua 1:9 Jesus said, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened and do not be dismayed for the Lord your God is with You Wherever You Go."

Peace and Blessings this Day and Every Day!

Good morning,
I hope your day is going well. Just a reminder that you are a divine being created in the image and likeness of God! What does this mean? It means you were created by love, for love. I hope you will go through your day sharing the love that you have within you. You should never suffer pain, reframe your suffering with love and job.

God Bless!

Good morning friends. Wishing you a most blessed day. Today we are focusing on the mind and how powerful our thoughts are. If we stay positive we will feel better. Why because love brings us closer to God. If we are negative we feel bad. Why because anything that is not loving repels God.

Romans 12:12 tells us to let God transform us into new people by changing the way we think.

I think you all are wonderful. Have a beautiful day!!!

It is interesting to have such a great relationship with Jesus that I can talk to him and hear his voice. When you tell people you can hear his voice they get frightened. Hmmm I am thinking all through the bible you read about God talking to Abraham, or an angel of God sending a message to someone. Why in the world are people so afraid? Hearing Jesus' voice is like hearing anyone you develop a relationship with. I challenge you to talk to him every day and I promise you, you will hear his voice as well. Trust in the Lord for he is Good!!
