There are times in life when we feel as though no one truly cares or understands what we are going through. We may long for someone who will sit with us, listen to our concerns, and offer comfort without judging us. Sometimes, we do not need someone to solve our problems; we simply need someone […]
You Are Never Alone
Is The Spirit in You?
. . . you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
Romans 8:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/rom.8.9.NASB1995
So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Romans 8:12-13 NASB1995

Who are you serving? Living for? Yourself, or God by the power of the Holy Spirit?
🌹“If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

Star Gazing
Have you seen the stars lately? I find it hard to see stars because there is so much light everywhere. All night long.
My husband and I went on a trip recently, traveling by car at 2am. In the outskirts, away from the big cities I could see stars for what seemed like miles stretching through the heavens. I saw the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper, which I had not seen in years.
To see the countless stars and to know that God created far more, beyond the stars, puts me in a state of awe and wonder.
Mankind is still searching . . .
Look up.

“Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us (you) to the glory of God. For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers, and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, “Therefore I will give praise to You among the Gentiles, And I will sing to Your name.””
Again he says, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.” And again, “Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, And let all the peoples praise Him.” Again Isaiah says, “There shall come the root of Jesse, And He who arises to rule over the Gentiles, In Him shall the Gentiles hope.””
