Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.
There are many who are in the body of Christ JESUS. Many claim to be verbally and by action.
I don’t know them personally, so only JESUS is the judge of that.
It is encouraging to see how they are not ashamed to claim JESUS as their personal LORD and Savior!
Romans 1:16
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
All good. No shame in saying how we love GOD and HIS SON JESUS 🙏🏾 These are the athletes I choose to answer the prompt.
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?
As the woman in the bun hairdo is asked a question, she might be saying “Umm” to!
I will do this. But mean no harm by it.
When talking and speaking to others, and a question is asked of me. I am gathering my thoughts to put into words.
I was once told by a teacher in school that it is a bad habit she will see us students doing. It annoyed her. Because it looked to her like we were just finding words to say.
We were though! 😀
Proverbs 18:21: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”
I recall in Matthew 9:13-14. We are to forgive those who trespass against us so our FATHER GOD will forgive us.
I can get annoyed or angry with people when they do me wrong or my family or friends. But to have a grudge is a very serious thing that GOD doesn’t like.
The Bible says that people should not hold grudges, and that forgiveness is important:
Aside from the Bible as our guide tool for happiness, the secular way is simple too. Forgiveness can lead to improved mental health and healthier relationships.
Don’t make stress, and you won’t have it. Be polite to all people, not just your close friends and family. 😀
So no, I get past my feelings and move on not to hold on to that anger as best as I can with JESUS helping me.
In the early of the day, I get up and spend my morning reading the Bible, prayer, and writing in my journal.
It is peaceful and quiet. No distractions. I need that time with my beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS.
I talk to them in my thoughts even during the whole day at times when people are around me at work into things or conversations that are not work related. So as not to get involved in what they are doing.
I need my peaceful time with the LORD GOD. It helps me to get ready for all that I need to get ready for in the day.
Matthew 6:6
“But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
Praying heals and strengthens our souls, giving us a greater connection with our beloved FATHER GOD ❤️ . We all need this to understand what GOD has planned for us to do in our lives to be protected from evil.
This is why I have my devotional time in the morning like how some people need coffee.
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.
I loved going to Canada with my mom when i was a kid. It was the 1st time ever we went out of the States to another country via church bus. It was a long ride, but it was worth it.
Of course, it’s colder than New York by a few degrees. And we went in the summer. It was a good thing we had jackets with us. When that wind hit, you would think it was winter!
The people were different and could tell we were not from there by how we dressed and our accent.
We were in a restaurant and had French fries with our meal. When I asked the waitress for ketsup she was annoyed. She came back to the table with an attitude saying,
“You must be from the states. No one here asks for ketsup. We put vinegar on our fries.”
So then I said “Okay then I will have vinegar then.”
She said then “You got your KETSUP.” And she walked off.
Me being a kid, not knowing, annoyed her over what I wanted on my food. My mom didn’t like that and left no tip. The waitress was rude.
I learned something that day. When you are in another country, make sure when you order French fries, make sure you eat them as how the locals do.
And if you don’t want to eat them like how the locals do, then don’t order them.😄😄😄
Proverbs 11:14
14. Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.
Vinegar on fries is okay. I’m just not used to adding it to my fries. 😯😯😯
I do pray that all is well with you all. In this world, the way unbelievers think, you and I will not be allowed to pray to GOD openly in front of others. With persecution, we could be sent yo jail for praying in public. While men are allowed to walk totally nude in parades.
You know GOD created us mankind and so HE understands us. Knows what we need without even asking verbally. 😀
So yes, even when we don’t have the words to sat out loud, we are still heard. I know this to be truthful because this happens to me often
For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God” (Rom. 8:26-27).
To go to GOD like you would your earthly Dad, in tears seeking comfort from HIM is how we should be. Humbled seeking HIS comfort and compassion!
Romans 8:27-28
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:27-29
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Depending on GOD for all guidance as HE leads us thru all snares and traps put out before us by evil doers.
This is such peace for me knowing we are in peace with our beloved FATHER GOD ❤️ as HE continues to watch over all of us who love GOD ❤️
I do hope you all are well and good. This is the scripture that means a lot to me for the experience I have had more than one time at more than one situation in my life.
Most recently, I lost my beloved mother. That had taken place this past May on Memorial Day at 4:57pm. I was fortunate to be able to say goodbye to her the day she went to be with the LORD.
You know, if you have not lost your mom or dad and they have been good to you and are still with you, be grateful.
I came back to my home after the funeral, and she was I just bawled and cried so from my heart. All I could do was call on JESUS. I didn’t want my husband to hear me lose it, but if you were not or ever was close to your mom, you might not get it.
My mother and I were close from when I was a child. I remember the good times and things she has done for me. Putting herself first. Always there to call and talk to.
But now I don’t have that. There is an empty feeling I was having.
I had to call on JESUS before all of this has happened. But I tell you this was the most heartbreaking thing to go through.
But our savior JESUS is holding me up. Keeping me close ,filling in that void. JESUS tapped on my shoulder, and I tell you I truly felt the most wonderful feeling of pure, perfect love and compassion ❤️
I didn’t want to lose that feeling, for there is no love like that here on this earth. When our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS is so generous and compassionate to allow you to feel this… you will always want it.
You know this was from the LORD GOD and JESUS. You know it, you feel it. No person, no human being can ever ever come close to feeling this love.
This was only a grain of sand from all of the deserts combined here on earth times. Each grain of sand can not come close to the degree or level of the love our GOD has for us mankind.
Just imagine what it will be in heaven! Feeling what I felt was so soothing ,comforting, warm, and perfect in love ❤️.
If you are reading this blog today, please think about your salvation and getting to know JESUS. Being in heaven where you will see the face of GOD and HIS SON JESUS!
It is most worth it to give up all of your sins. There is nothing here on this earth worth missing heaven.
Nothing.
Matthew 28:19-30
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
[20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Thank you dear JESUS. It is so good to know you have been with me since a child.
