Cloud Talk

Psalm 19:1 NIV
The heaven declare the glory of God.

OUR FATHER CAN SPEAK to us in so many ways that are outside the box of religion. cloud aren't religious. The blue sky isn't religion. God doesn't communicate only through church-talk, but also through cloud-talk. These are only two of His many dialects.
   The means by which God declares His love and presence are without limit. Many  ancient saints understood themselves to be living in a "God-bathed" world. If you wants to deeply experience intimacy with Him, it helps immeasurably to view the world in the same way. Our loving God reveal Himself in many ways. Jesus is wherpering to you right now, every day, in a thousand ways, and many of them aren't religious. We need only to be watching and aware.
   Continual awareness of Christ in our daily lives is inseparable from a hunger to know Him. Ask Him to make Himself known to you, and then go through your day with your eyes and ears open. As He leads you into a growing awareness of His voice speaking in various ways, you will discover that heaven and earth are His platform, a platform from which He constantly declare His love for you.

THE DAY OF EVIL

Ephesians 6:13-17
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God.

WHEN EXACTLY IS THE EVIL TALKED ABOUT IN THIS VERSE? Is it some great and terrible day of the Lord yet to break in the horizon? Is it the day when the Antichrist is revealed, ushering in a great tribulation?
   NO. The day of evil is when you feel like dropping the shield of faith, unbuckling your breastplate of righteousness kicking off the shoes of the gospel of Peace, and throwing down the sword of the Spirit. This is the evil day.
   You don't need a great tribulation to feel you're under attack. For you, the evil day may come when your reputation gets dragged through water leak flow like the dog track dog-doo all small and big overflow the ground floor, small hole down to the basement where the water drifted the carpet in the hall became drainage of water. The evil day may happen when your pot roast turn to charcoal in the oven while you referee a fight between a few member of your family.
   What are we do on the evil day? Read Again our verse for the day and you'll discover that in the span of a few sentence, the word "stand" occurs at least three times. Stand firm in the Lord.

AT HIS EVERLASTING ARMS

DEUTERONOMY 33:27
The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.

YOU WERE CREATED TO LIVE as an eternal being with your Father in heaven. This world is a temporary place to live. It's a neighborhood you won't be in forever. Your home is in God He is your lasting dwelling place.
  A man once told me about living in a dangerous, rundown neighborhood on the mission field. It was a harsh environment, even dangerous at times. "My home is like an oasis there," he said. "When I go inside to my loving wife and family, I feel love and at rest."
   That's a picture of what it mean to know God as your dwelling place. The world outside my be hostile, even threatening at times. We may face opposition and hostility from those who angered at the contrast our God and theirs. People do not like to have their idols dethroned! Yet as we uphold Christ, others will see a difference and be drawn to Him and the life that He offers. But as you recognize that your life in Him, you can find peace, love, and security.
   You stand in secure place with your God as your dwelling place. His everlasting arms will hold you protect you, and hug you in every situation. Face each day with confidence that your God holds you in His arms. Live boldly with the knowledge that you cannot be conquer by the world around you, because you belong Him.

YOUR WITH HIM

1 Corinthians 6:17
The one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

THE IDEA THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOUR LIFE IS TRUE. He was there at song and He moves but the news of what grace has accomplished in you is even greater than that. Jesus has so merged Himself into you and you into Him that there is no separation whatsoever. You are a spirit being who has soul (mind, will, and emotioms) and lives in a body. The spirit is the essence of your identity, and it is in that place that Christ has united as one with you.
  Think of a cup of coffee. Nobody would say that the cup contain coffee and hot water. The merging of the coffee into the water was so complete when it was brewed that a new identity has merged in the process. It is now called "coffee." The water's identity has been remade and redefined by the coffee.
   So it is with Jesus Christ. He has brought you into Union with Him. Your identity has been changed because your very nature has been changed. You aren't just a person with Christ in you. You have been joined to Him as one and this flavor you now have to offer the world is a divine creation. You see He moves, He the mountain. He can do it again. Your with Him.

LET ME BE YOUR TREE HOUSE

Psalm 32:7
You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Did you cleave in this everyday! It is for me. Is there a special place you go to get away from everything and everybody? Some people like to climb a tree. Others hide away in a corner of their backyard. Concealing yourself in a physical place helps when people and circumstances are just too much for you.
But where can you hide from your emotion and fears? Let Me  be your hiding place. When things get rough, run to Me when you need shelter from your life. Pray and read my Word in the Bible. Then listen. Not only will I shelter you, I will surround you with encouraging songs i will sing you back to peace away with Me to our secret place. I'll meet you there your shelter God.

YOUR MIND PEACE BE STILL

1 PETER 1:13
Therefore gird up the lion of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Your mind is a wonderful thing! You can memorize life Changing passage of Scripture that can undergird you in your daily life; you can meditate upon God's Word, discovering His magnificent truths; you can discern between truth and falsehood; you can recall God's past blessings.
   Some of God's  most effective servants were those who discipline their minds for His service. Moses, educated in the best school of Egypt, assembled the books of the Law for the Israelites. Isaiah used his scholarly mind to write an exalted prophetic book in Scripture. Paul learned under Gamaliel, the outstanding teacher of his day, and it was through Paul that God presented much of the theology found in the New Testament.
   Sadly, many believer today do not exercise their mind to be of service to God. They allow others to do their spiritual things for them. If they can find their theology from a book, they will not bother to study God's Word for themselves. If a speaker makes an authoritative statement, they readily accept it without verifying whether it is  biblical.
   Paul urged "us" Christians to strive for maturity in their thinking not be move by  emotion or give chances to read your mind, but move only by compassion of father love. Even the elect can be deceive. Be certain to use your mind in a way that brings glory to God. "Mind Peace be still"

WHAT IS LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:1
If I Speak in the tongues of men and of angel, but have not love, I  Am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU, I LOVE YOU," What does it mean? Husbands, Paul instructed, are to love their wives as Christ loved the Church (Ephesians 5:25)
He calls men to display a costly, sacrificial kind of love. Sadly, most men fall far short.
   It is amazing how that short four- letter word can be defined in so many ways. Learn from it she said, " she pointed out
"Only the loving," she said, "will have any understanding of love just as the good will understand goodness. When one has gotten only a little way into loving, one learns that what understanding we do attain, poor and partial as it must be, is not gotten to thinking about it. It comes by receiving and giving love, as part of the process of living."'
    If you want to discover what love is about, learn how Jesus loved those whom He chose 12 flawed, ordinary, somewhat unlovable men. Notice that His love was unconditional commitment. There was absolutely no selfish, self serving motive behind His love.
    He loved them "as they were" without forcing them to change or making change a condition for His acceptance. Paul make a case for this truth in 1Corinthian 13. Remember his words "love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs" (1Cor. 13:4-6).
    Without love in your life, you have nothing. Begin by letting God plant the seed of love in Your heart. Ask Him to fill your heart with himself so that his love touches you and so that you,  in turn, can touch those in your life.

Remember our sin no more

Psalm 25:7
"Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;  according to your love remember me, for you are good, O Lord."

Poor memories are part of human condition. I'm puzzled. How could God possibly forget? That's our job!
  But He does. And His forgetting of my sin is a complete removal from his knowledge of every sin you and I have committed.
  Then why do we feel so bad about our past sins? Because we confuse sin with its impressions. Got a notepad! Let me show you how this can be so. Write the word "sin" in the page Press hard. Now tear off that sheet of paper, crumple it up, and throw it across. The room. That's  how God forget your sin.
   Now take your pencil and rub it on the new page at an angle, back and forth, over the same location where you wrote. And guess what: the ghost of the word "sin" appears.
    That's what our flaws memories do. We go back over the deep impression left by transgression in our life, and we feel just as guilty. if the sin never left. But he encouraged, the impression of sin is not the same thing as sin. Read story of king David, you can cry out, "I can't forget my scars, it seem, Lord. But you have forgotten their cause. Look upon me with loving kind eyes."
It's your choice. Will you continue to work over forgiven sin as with a pencil? Or will you let the Holy Spirit work His lovingkindness?

NEW THINGS

ISAIAH 43:18-19
DO NOT CALL TO MIND THE FORMER THINGS, Or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

We tend to imagine the future. Based on our past experiences. Then our past becomes the mental framework within which we envision what lies ahead.
   If unwise choices in your past seem to have affected your potential for future, you are particular vulnerable to risk of this false perspective. This outlook displaces faith because it limits your expectations of what can do in the coming days.
   Don't allow yourself to become bogged down in the past. Your best day are still ahead. He is the great "I Am" who lives in you at this moment and lead you forward to new divine opportunities.
    Perhaps you have made decision that seem to limit future possibility. It is important to recognized that God transcends natural circumstances and isn't restricted by what you face . He has the power to "make a roadway in the wilderness" when it comes to obstacle in your situation. Your future is a new day in which your loving Father already has planned your steps.

SET YOUR MIND

Colosians 3:1-2
"Since, then you have raised with Christ, set your heart on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not non earthly things."

In this verse we are twice commanded. First, we are to set our hearts; then second, set our mind on thing above. in other words, things above are to capture our imagination, emotions, thoughts, feelings, ideas and on and on. Most of us considered this command to be not as necessary as other mandates in Scripture's. But it is! When you consider that the first greatest commandments is to love the Lord with all our heart and mind, it follows naturally that we should set our heart on things above. "Where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Some of you right now. Could not be happy if you were allowed to enter heaven. Shall I tell you why? It is because heaven is a place of spirit being and you have neglected your spirit."
It is the spiritual person who can mostly readily set his/ her heart and mind in heaven. So live in the spirit and glean a real and deep longing for heavenly glorious above.
What enriched your spirit? Filling by our heart and mind with the Word of God. Meditate this things His Word sayest, Whatever is true Noble, right, pure, lovely, Admirable, or anything excellent or praiseworthy what enriched Your spirit. As a child of God you have accessing the means of His grace through prayer, worship and fellowship of the brethren, look for cellmeeting, reading of God Word that enriched your spirit! Trusting and obeying the Lord.

Going along with the Crowd

JAMES 4:17
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

"THEY ALL DO IT---so what? Growled the cab driver. He was talking about police men who took bribes and one of which who, after receiving money from him in when he drove in the bus lane.
   There's a thin line between right and wrong, acceptable behavior and unacceptable behavior. But over times that thin line has been blurred so much that in some cases it is almost unrecognizable.
   "Hey, why should you object to my mistress?" a father of four daughter asked his family as I sat and listened. Then he added, "Didn't I take care of all of you? What I am doing doesn't hurt you!.
   Little by little, the voice of conscience grows weaker and weaker until it no longer speaks. We have become a "no fault" society where we excuse corrupt behavior because "every body is doing it" lacking them courage to speak, we back away from confronting wrongdoing.
   Knowledge of right and wrong isn't legislated It begins with spiritual Reformation of the heart. You can decided that no matters what other do, you will refuse to do wrong;  you understand that getting away with something doesn't justify it.
   Integrity 101 is generally taught at a mother knee, not in a university or even a values seminar. But if you had no one to show you the way, you can learn what it is as Holy Spirit teaches you. The Army of those who are the "salt and light" of society may be small, but they can make a big difference when they are strong enough to refuse to be intimidated by the scorn of those who say; "Everybody's doing it." When you don't do it, you make a difference. You don't have to go along with the Crowd.

IT WAS GOOD

John 10:27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me.

Do you recognized your Father's voice when you hear Him? Jesus said all His sheep hear His voice, but learning to recognized that it is voice of your Shepherd will help you immeasurably in your grace walk. How can you recognized His voice when He speak?
   The most important thing us to want to hear Him. Go through your day with your spiritual ears opened, wanting to hear Him. Realize that He isn't limited to speaking to you through religious means. While Jesus often speaks through the Bible and sermons and spiritual songs, He knows the language of life on this planet too. He can speak to you through the words of friends, through circumstances, through non religious song, through art, through nature, through movie, and in so many ways that are outside the box of religion.
   Ask Him to reach you to identify His voice. Then when He speaks in ways in which you aren't  accustomed, don't dismiss it simply because it isn't accustomed, don't dismiss it simply because it isn't a religious voice Nothing He says will stand in contradiction to what He says in Scripture but remember, not everybody in the world even has a Bible. Your God is speaking to you continuously.
  When God speak nothing remain the same, whenever He reveal his plan all things happens it was so, I was good the result was good.

There is No West Pole

Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west,  so far has He removed our transgressions from us

There is an unhealthy obsession with sin in modern Christendom. We preached about sin, discuss sin, think about sin. And study it. Such a focus is neither helpful nor necessary. God has dealt with our sin in such away the only response we really need is to believe that our sin is gone and walk in freedom from it
  Our sin have been separated from us as far the East is from the west. The statement is very revealing. If a person travels north they will eventually find the North Pole and begin to travel south again. If they travel far enough south, they will once again meet north.
North and South come together at the Pole. However, one can travel east and never find oneself going west again, and vice versa. East and West never meet.
   God has separated your sins from you in that way. The chance of your sins being attached to you again is as great as the likelihood of a traverler discovering the western Pole. It won't happen because it can't happen. Your sins are gone and nothing will ever change that.
Praise the Lord."

You Are the Pleasing Aroma

2 Corinthians 2:15
For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:

A perfume who works in New York  declares she can recognized certain combination of scents and guess the perfumers behind a fragrance. With just a sniff she can say, "This is Jenny's work."
Paul said we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ's victory over sin. God has given us the frangrance of Christ himself so we can become a sweet smelling sacrifice of praise. But how can we live so we spread thus pleasing fragrance to other? We can show generosity and love, and we can share the gospel to other so they can find the way of Salvation. We can allow the spirit to display through us His gift of love, joy, and kindness. (Gal.5:22-23).
Like a Despenser it spray the fragrance and say it's working, do other observe us and say, "This is Jesus's work"? Are we allowing Him to spread His fragrance through us and then telling others about Him? He is the ultimate perfume the most exquisite fragrance there will ever be. Do others recognized the work of God in my life? Am I spreading the fragrance of Christ? How?

The Absent One Among Us

ZECHARIAH 8:16
These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other, and render true and sound judgement in your courts.

The Late AMY CARMICHAEL, missionary leader in India, said that her mission had a rule for conversation: "The absent one must be safe among us." That was her way of reminding people not to talk about another person in a derogatory way in their absence; when we would never say the same thing in their presence.
    Amy Carmichael was not the first to observe such a principle. St. Augustine had a motto  over his table which read, "He that speaks an idle word against an absent man or woman is not welcome at this table." Augustine had remembered the word of Jesus, who said, "But I tell you that men Will have to give account in the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken" (Matthew 12:36).
   How many times this past week have you heard someone say, "Did you hear about so-and-so?" And you replied, No, what happened?' And they began to relate a choice but of news that may have been totally out of context, is so distorted as to make  the truth appear false.
   Yesterday I was with two businessmen, and one asked the other, "Where were you this past weekend?" He replied, "Oh, I was up in the mountains with my Secretary." I joined the conversation and said, " And I hope your wife was along." He smiled as he said, "Oh, I guess you did not know that my secretary is my wife," How much damage could have been done with only the first half of that conversation?
   Should you be tempted to gossip, remember Amy Carmichael's  motto, "The absent one must be safe among us."

Love Controls Us

2 Corinthians 5:14
The love of Christ control us. . .

The apostle Paul made a statement here that stands in contradiction to a popular message of legalistic religion. It is often taught today that our love for Christ should control us and cause us to behave. We're told the problem is that we don't love Jesus enough and that we simply need to love Him more
  In this verse, Paul spoke in opposite terms. Suggested that it isn't our love for Christ that regulates our actions, but His love for us. He didn't say it was his love for Christ but the love of Christ that controlled him.
    Don't constantly grade yourself on how much you love him. Instead, focus on how much He love you. To shift your focus in that way Will bring miraculous change. As you grow in understanding how much He love you, that knowledge will transform your desires and motivation so you find yourself wanting to live in a way that honor Him. Put your focus in the right place-----off yourself and on Jesus-----and watch what happen.

From our Heart

Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate.
Joel 2:13

In many cultures, loud weeping, wailing, and the tearing of clothing are accepted ways of lamenting personal sorrow or a great national calamity, for the people of the old testament Israel, similar outward actions expressed deep mourning and repentance for turning away from the Lord.
An outward demonstration of repentance can be a powerful process when it comes from our heart, but without a sincere inward response to God, we may simply be going through the motions, even in our community of faith.
After a plague of locusts devastated the land of Judah, God through the prophet Joel, called the people to sincere repentance to avoid His further judgment. "Even now,' declared the Lord, 'return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning'" (Joel 2:12).
Then prophet Joel called for a response from deep inside: "Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity" (verse 13). True repentance comes from the heart.
The Lord longs for us to confess our sin to Him and receive His forgiveness so we can love and serve Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Whatever you need to tell the Lord today, just say now, from our heart.

O my Lord and be my guide

Hebrew 10:24

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."
The ugly woman sat slumped in her wheelchair, her dirty Terrycloth robe twisted underneath her. Her hair was mussed, her teeth missing. Most of the group visiting the nursing home made a right-hand turn down the hallway in order to avoid the woman. But my friend Beth and Carolyn, made straight for her.
  As Beth approached, she expected the crotchety-looking woman to snarl remark. Instead, the old lady smiled and said "My, my, look at you two in those bright and lovely swearers. And aren't you sweet to come here and visit us. Thank you!"
  Beth told me later that the woman made her feel so at ease, so appreciated so. . .  beautiful. Here they had visited the nursing home to cheer up others! The nursing home resident had developed the art of Hebrew 10:24; she may have only able to offer her smile and short greeting but, Oh, the difference it made end not only in the lives of others but in the way people perceived her.
  Considering others is not the art of doing something extraordinary
It's the art of doings common thing extraordinarily well. The most tribal action slightest smile the Briefest greeting may be considered a service not to others but to God. The least thing the of door gently, the walking softly, speaking quietly all can be a part of the art of considering others. Hebrew 10:24 O Lord! And be my guide.

What Day of the Week are you Living In?

The length of our years is seventy years-- or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
Psalm 90:10

POET PHILIP LARKIN WROTE a letter to a former classmate. At the time, Larkin was a 53-year old man. Remembering the words if Moses who said, "The length of our days is seventy years," he wrote, "If we equate the seven decade if a man's life with seven days of the week, we are coming up to Friday luncheon."
  Larkin had a novel thought, comparing the seventy years of a person's life with the seven days of the week. That means you are born early Monday morning and finish the week at midnights on the following Sunday.
  It got me thinking. I was 67 at the time,  so I asked myself, "Where does that put me on the seven-day week? Early Sunday evening!" At first I was slightly disturbed and said, "No, that can't be right!" I'm not afraid to die, but I tend to concur with Mark Twain who said he wished he knew where he was going to die  so that he would never go near the place.
   We never know when the week gets cut short, or if we might live beyond 70. It was no wonder Moses added, "Teach us to number ours day aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12).
   At it's longest, life's journey us brief. What day if the week are you now in? What plans do you have for the rest of the week? It may be later in the week than you think. Never forget, however, that life does not really come in weeks or days, but in moments. Live them to the fullest. Live every day as if it were your last and have no regrets.

Having the same Love

Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having
the same love
Philippians 2:1-11

I love being with people. . . most of the time. There is a special joy that resonates in our hearts when we are with people we enjoy. But unfortunately we are not always with those people we like to be around. Sometimes people can be prickly, which may be why someone has said. "The more I get to know people; the more I love my dog!" When we don't find joy in a relationship, we tend to blame the other person; then we excuse ourselves as we exit to be with people we like.
   The apostle Paul asks us to lovingly engage with brother and sisters in Christ. In fact, he calls all of us to be "of one accord," to look out "for the interest of others," and to "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil.2:2-5). Think about it. Jesus gave up His own prerogatives and privilege for us. He chose to live as a servant and paid the ultimate sacrifice that He might bring us into a joy-filled relationship with Him (Heb. 12:2). And He did all that in spite of our prickliness (ROM. 5:8).
   So next time you are with someone who is not easy to get along with, ask Jesus to help you find a way to extent His love. In time, you might be surprised by how God can change your attitude about people.

A Cross for me

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16 : 24

There is a Difference between knowing that Christ was on a cross for me and knowing that in the same cross He ask me to die with Him. What dies it mean?
  Some people take this literally. Every Good Friday outside of Manila a few well- meaning but misinformed individuals  Actually allow themselves to be crucified for a few brief moments. Then the person goes to the river to wash, thinking the water that washes away the blood will also wash away his sins.
   But they are misled. That is not what Christ meant. When Jesus calls us to take up our cross and follow Him, and furthermore, to do it daily, it isn't a "once and that's it" sort of thing but something we have to wrestle with everyday. But the very image Jesus used that of crucifixion disturbed His disciples, even as it disturbs us today. Why? The cross was lethal. Once a man bore his cross, his future plans died, his hopes were dashed, and his future was darkened. It was only a matter of time for the end to be played out. A.W. Tozer wrote, "The man with a cross no longer control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference. No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion."
   The Cross releases the resurrection power of Jesus in your life. The paradox is that putting your agenda on the cross is the only way to release you to be what He designed you to be. That freedom allows you to experience the power of Christ's life in you. Only then can you say, "To die is gain!"

Children of Light

You were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light.
Ephesians 5:8

The order of thought in this verse is critically important to recognized. Notice what it does not say: "If you children of darkness start acting like children of light, you can become Light." It begins with what God has done. He has already changed our identities from darkness to light in Christ; now He calls us to recognize it and be who He made us to be.
  The truth is that you are in the light at every moment because, through Jesus Christ, you are continuously in God. "God is light and in Him is no darkness at all," the apostle John wrote.
   Since God is light and can never contain darkness and you are in God, you can never be in darkness. We may not always be able to see the light in a situation; we may even willfully blindfold ourselves by sinning, but that doesn't change the fact that we're in the light. A man wearing a blindfold over his eyes may not see light even when he is standing under a bright floodlight, but that doesn't change the reality that he is still in the light.
   You are a child of light. Believe it. Then walk in the light of His life with confidence that there is no darkness in you because you are in Him.

The Faithful God's Covenant of Love

And we know that God causes everything to work for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
ROMAN 8: 28 NLT

"KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generation of those who love him and keep his commands"
(Deuteronomy 7:9) were the word of Moses.
Moses called God "the faithful God." And what does faithful really mean? Simply put it, it mean that the one who promises something delivers not because of the praise he gets, not because of the money or reward he might get in return, but because of the integrity of his heart. The person's nature. Compels him to keep his word.
Moses called what God has committed to do a "covenant of love," because God understands that we as mortal could never repay Him for His acts of kindness and mercy. But we often lose sight of that blessings of God have two conditions:
1. We who are blessed by His kindness are to "love Him,"
2. We are to "keep His commands."
It's very much the same thing that Paul wrote to the church at Rome. Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
In relationship to God, love and obedience go together like two sides of the coin. Once you know God, you will love Him, and when you love Him, you will find it easy to comply with His demands.
There is only one way to experience His faithfulness and that is to trust Him. Then you too can say with Paul, "The one who calls you is faithful. . . He cannot deny Himself."

RECEIVE LOVE AND GIVE LOVE

We have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love.
1 John 4:16

I was standing in the open door someone passes by, a lovely voices i heard commanded shake by hand it seem to me a great motto for relationships: received love, give love: Repeat.
  The greatest love that we receive is the love of God. He love us so much that He gave His Son Jesus to live, die, and rise again to redeem us (1 John 4:9). We receive his love when we received Jesus as our Savior and Lord,  "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believed in His Name
(John 1:12).
    After we've experience God's love, we then can learn to give love. "Let us love one another, for love of God” (1John 4:7).
God's love enables us to love our brothers and sisters in Christ. We teach, encourage, and rebuke. We weep and rejoice. The love we give is tender and tough and supportive. We are taught by Jesus even to love our enemies: " Do good to those who hate you, and pray and for those who spitefully use you and persecuted you";(Matt. 5:44). Giving love to others can be challenging in some situations but it's possible because of the love God has first given to us.
A good plan for our lives today: Receive love, Give love. Say it and repeat.

What We Talk About

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sigh, O Lord

Perhaps you are familiar with the saying "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people,"
Admittedly, there are ways to speak of people that can honor them. But this saying highlights our darker experiences. In a world of ever-present media social and professional--we are continually confronted with people's lives at a level of intimacy that can be inappropriate.
  Worse this tidal wave of personal information about others could become grist for our conversation mills to the point that gossip becomes the norm and not just about the rich and famous, people in our workplace, churches neighborhoods, and families can also be targeted of sharp tongues and feel the pain of discussions that never should have happened.
   How can we escape our inclination to use words to hurt others? By recognizing that the ultimate Hearer of our words is God who longs for us to be better than that. With the psalmist, we can pray. Let's the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord "(PS.19:14). When we seek to please God with our conversations about others, we Honor Him. With His help, we can glorify Him through what we talk about.

HEAVENLY EYESIGHT

We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.
2 Corinthians 4:18

I received a good new"s about my faraway vision has improved well I thought it was good news until a friend informed me. "Faraway vision can improve as we age; close up vision may diminish."
  The report made me think another kind of improved faraway vision that I have observed in some Christians those that I have known the Lord for a long time or who have gone through great trials seem to have a better heavenly vision than the rest of us. Their eternal eyesight has gotten better and their close up "earthly" vision is diminishing.
  Because the apostle Paul had that type of eternal vision, he encouraged the church in Corinth. "Our light and affliction, which is but for a moment is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. . . The things which are not seem are eternal (2 Cor. 4:17-18).
   For now we struggle with our " eyesight." There's no tension between enjoying all that God has given us in this earthly life, I am a Child of God.  That is the good news. "To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here." Seeing Him will bring perfect Vision.

God sings

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

When my heart is restless and my soul is downcast, I often surround myself with the calming strains of a favorite hymn. Sometimes when I want to express sheer praise, I'll pick a happy psalm and just put it to any old tune that comes to mind. I sing to myself, I sing to God, But I'm astonished to think that God sing to me.
  God sings! Do you think He sings all four parts at once? Maybe His music, so celestial and heavenly, resounds like a great choir. No doubt He has invented chords and dischords, major and minor keys that our ears have never heard. And I'm touched that He rejoices over you and me with an actual melody. What's more, He quiet us with His loving song.
I have often thought of this when a beautiful hymn keeps rolling over and over in my mind. Always it's tune lifts my spirit and carries me through the day. No, I'm not playing a broken record in my head; the song, I'm convinced, is God's melody to me direct from His heart. He is rejoicing over me with singing, hallelujah, and all I need to do is listen and be inspired. Here a Song

IN JESUS NAME

Here I am
Longing for your presence
I'm here to stand and say your grace is sufficient for me
And you gave more of your loving kindness everyday I live.
Chorus;
Lord.... Filled this temple
In your holy presence and washes me by your grace
This sing I sang in reverence of praise
My Lord heal me and save me.
In Jesus name I am free...

ETERNAL INHERITANCE

Christ shed His blood and became the mediator of the new covenant so "those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance"
Hebrew 9:15

What God promised isn't just for today; it is for eternity. That's why it is an eternal inheritance. The writer of Hebrews compares the new covenant to last will and testament.
  For where is testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives (Heb. 9: 16-17).
In other words, the death of Jesus Christ activated the power of the blood that guaranteed our inheritance.
Some people have the idea that when we enter the kingdom of God, the Lord is going to judge us according to how we have lived, give us a mansion of gold, and that's it. No. The Bible says our inheritance is eternal, meaning it's an on going possession. When one reward is presented, I believe there will be another. It will be like a Christmas that never ends. Scripture tells us that "eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him" (1Cor.2:9). Peter says it is "inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you" (1 Peter.1:4). I am anxious to get to glory and find out what is in store for us.
The promises of God's Word. . .  both the Old and New Testaments be ours when we are redeemed by the blood
And if you are Christ's then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise (Gal.3:29).
We don't deserve an inheritance because of our work of righteousness, "but according to His mercy He save us that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life" (Titus 3: 4,7). Too many people fear that they'll never see their inheritance. That must be because they don't understand God' amazing grace.
