April 19: Q

Q is For Quack 

Quack, Quack, Quack. What am I?  A duck?  YES! How did you know? 

What if I went

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.  What am I? Would you say God? Nope. Would you say Muslim? Nope.  Would you say catholic I think you would. 

I think you get where i'm going with this.  Preaching the gospel. It is our duty to preach to others about others.  But as St Francis said " Always Preach the Gospel and if necessary use words...."   “....It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.”  And indeed we must.   We must stand up for what we believe and not be scared.

I know a lot of people who say they believe in God.  But don't show it.  So what would be the job of those who do believe?  and who do show that they believe all the time? To quack.  To wake the crowed. To open there eyes.  To make them see: to make them rise: to give them water.  We must preach by the way we walk or else it is useless. 

If you have ever seen on facebook or Twitter or other social media site, you will know thos tweets, or statuses that end with: " Jesus said " if you deny me in front of your friends, then i will deny you in front of my father"  Sound familiar? Well of course it does.  I absolutly HATE these statuses/ tweets and so on. They usally say something about sharing God among your friends and if you don't God won't like you or won't do a  miracle for you...  Well then I usually comment " Well doesn't God Love you no matter what" Or " Doesn't God work miracles if you ask... Or am I mistaken and I have to share something on the internet?"  I'm not afraid to post things on God, and I don't care if people don't like it because i'm not scared of sharing something I Love. 

So, We must Quack the Lords name. We must Quack and not be scared for he will never deny us and nor shall we.

April 18: P

P is For Pure

Pure. Clean Hearts. Clean Soul. Clean mind. Pure for God. Pure and cleansed for he is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness,

 but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life,

 and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.

We shall not lead others into sin. Because sin shall make us fail. If it's ours or if we make others. But Be pure. Not letting our bodies have others sin. We are in control on what we do. God asks of us what he wants us to do but it's our choice to listen, and indeed make Gods plan happen. But lets  not have others sin but present our selves pure. We shall die and we shall arise into the kingdom to be judged. Let us not Help others sin but help them to do Good. Make them an instrument Of peace. For it is part of our life of being holy to help others be holy.

Isn't one of our purposes is to pure. Pure in heart. For God was pure. His holy heart is stronger than him self.  We must be Pure gold. Not part Gold. Pure Gold. All gold. We must not be a fake and pretend to be real. WE must be who we are. If we are not pure so be it. If we are pure so be it. But To be real is greater than anything else it is worth more than anything. To get accepted into Gods kingdom for our real person. Blessed be those who have a clean soul and Blessed are us who live in his way and help others to God before our selves. Blessed are those pure golds.

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

April 17: O

O is For Open

Open Door.

Revelation 3:8

⁸ I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

The door is open. No one not even the devil can close it. We have little strength. (so we can't close it either)   Even with this little strength we keep loyal to God. Now is it just me or does that sound strange? Little strength and yet we are loyal? what does strength have to do anything with it. Well i think in this test it means that through this life and our PAINFUL struggles, where we almost feel like giving up; we didn't. We stayed loyal to God. But now the rest of this passage get's interesting. 

⁹ I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.

People who did give up. Those who fell before Satan and gave him a high five. Those who worship him; those who said yes to the wrong guy will bow before our feet to show the wrong they have done. And that they should have stayed loyal to God.  These people will know once they bow before our feet that the Lord is real and that he is the one that can save us. For we believe and Jesus stays near; HE NEVER LEAVES. Then this passage continues saying:

¹⁰ Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth

We have listened to God and have not tested him or questioned him. But waited. We shall pass the hour of trial that is coming. Think about that. We wait for the time of trial. And he says those who wait patiently will skip it. Wow. No. He's telling us that we the people that believe and waited for God to act and not question him, will skip this hour. For this hour will be great and that will be the day that we shall be saved.

Revelation 3:8

⁸ I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.⁹ I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.¹⁰ Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

 ¹¹ I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.

April 16: N

N is for Nail

The Nail his hand and the nail in his feet holding him onto the cross. Painfully, the nails dig into his skin, popping veins and breaking bones. The sharp nail holding him tightly on the cross shows us our sins. Our sins make the pain in him. Where we need to repent.  Although Jesus doesn't mind carrying our sins: he wants us to repent, to show our love for him so that he indeed does not have to suffer.

But through the nails it shall/ Should remind us of our promises we have made to God through baptism. That we shall believe in him. And ONLY HIM. When we do a sin, we work for the devil. No we do it our selves: all our choices are our choices. It must  easier to tell the truth and to stand up for what we have done.We must repent we must turn to God, and be sorry for our sin. Like Jesus he never denied anything. For, he even was stuck for telling the truth: and well those people were use to lies. Evil lies. but we get thanked and treated for telling the truth. And that takes away from the pain of the nails.

The nails connect our sin to Jesus. Do you want that? I didn't think so. I'm not here to say that were all bad people. I'm here to say that we must follow him and not to try to commit sins; though it might be tough. We must stay loyal to God. And not high five the devil. For we are all called to be saints and it's our choice to do that indeed.

April 14 : M

M is for Mile

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’³⁹ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. ⁴⁰ And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. ⁴¹ If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. ⁴² Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

And i can cut this down to:

If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.

2 for 2. 2 miles for 2 people. Then to walk back is another 2 miles for 2 people. Not only shall you suffer but make the other suffer. God tells is strictly not to fall into what evil-dooers. For give them what they want to show that this indeed does not bother you. It will be hard! But It will be easy because Jesus will be with us all the way! 

Yes, with God we may be miles away: but his love, his body, his spirit is always with us. Not thousands of miles away. No. It's right Here. We are the body. We are the Lord. We must show him in everything we must do. 

Matthew 5 is got to be the most beautiful part of Matthew. The sermon on the mount  is filled with inspiration and direction. Jesus tell us how to improve our imperfect lives into perfection and not to be like the hypocrites. But This is indeed why he came; to switch us from hypocrites to Believers. I've always loved the way Matthew 5 was worded: it's spoken to me in a way i just can'r say.

but may we learn from walking a mile, May we learn from suffering and evilness of others: for we who turn the cheek will be accepted. Our loyalty to God is truly shown.

April 13: L

L is for : Life

I don't know why but, i had a hard time with this one. I though about it all day. And it finally unfolded of what i shall wright about.  I'm not going to wright about life. I'm going to wright about a saying that involves life. 

Live Life Good so that when someone says something bad about you people won't believe them.

what do you think about this? i find it strong. Powerful: Meaningful. Now my Day kinda revolved around this. We were all constantly told to Show God. To Show God work through us, to do Good things. We were all encouraged more than ever to show God: To be better.

It's not until now I think about this line and compare it to my day. And well as I said everything really evolved around it.  It's kinda funny how God works it. He makes your day go on and on around something and you don't realize it till later. What does this sound like? It sounds like his plan. IT works it's way around our life and yet we have no clue why things are done a certain way: Until later.

SO I just want to say is to keep that line with you always. This is the way where we can stop the evil doers and they will be easily spotted out on judgement day.

April 12: K

K is For Kindergarten

When I think of kindergartens what comes to mind? crafts. Well maybe because I Teach it at Sunday school and knowing that they love the cutting, the gluing, the matching, and most importantly the coloring. This is the first year though, that the group of kids don't like to paint. Which very much surprises me. Cause which kid doesn't like painting? I knew I did. But I guess they would rather color with scented markers. 

But lets think know about what is a craft?  A craft is making something. It could involve coloring, cutting, gluing, or shaping something. So then my question is : Did God craft us together? Well my response that comes to mind is YES, because we were formed and made with Love. All of our pieces were put together, and then God added Color.  So i would indeed think that we are a craft our selves. So if we Indeed, care for our bodies and take care of them : like holding a a craft thats just been glued or is very delicate. You have to take good care of it and it will look even better.

April 11: J

J is For Jesus

I've talked a lot about Jesus in the past, so i'm going to share some prayer and line from Jesus

'I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will."

"So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upwards and said, 'Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.'"

"Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say, 'Father save me from this hour'? No it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name."

"He said, 'Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want."

Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' which means, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Our Father,

Who art in Heaven,

Hallowed be your name

Your kingdom come

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us the day

Our daily bread 

and forgive us our sins

as we forgive those who sin against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil

Amen
