He Gave His Only Son

"Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

John 21:29

• There should be less talk. A preaching point is not a meeting point.


• The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise.


• In the West there is loneliness, which I call the leprosy of the West. In many ways it is worse than our poor in Calcutta. (Commonweal, Dec 19, 1997)


• It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.


• The poor give us much more than we give them. They're such strong people, living day to day with no food. and they never curse, never complain. We don't have to give them pity or sympathy. We have so much to learn from them.


• I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper's wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?


• I do not pray for success. I ask for faithfulness.


• Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.


• If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

~Mother Teresa~

Some days go fast, and others go slow; but with the Holy Spirit I am a glow. For here I sit wondering why, then I turn to Jesus and begin to cry. I ask our Lord “Can this all be true?” Then He answers me “Yes my son, yes it's up to you.” I asked Him what, and He answered again, “ All you know, plus Eternal life; and free from sin.” Then I felt the warmth and love He shares, and now I know He really cares. So learn from me and you will shall see the Lord Jesus Christ lives within you and me.

The good Lord is here and I hold Him near, for all this time I was afar. For he has shown me a brighter path to walk upon. I feel his presence all around, and even though I am here I smile and not frown. My loneliness is gone for He keeps me safe. I love my God, my King! The Holy Spirit fills me to the brim, I feel good all over and will be with Him forever and a day; for never again will I stray. Once I was that ONE LOST SHEEP that the Lord went to find, leaving ninety-nine behind. Now I am here and hold Him dear, for I am no longer far yet very near. Jesus, my King for I hold you TRUE, I will always be with you.

Communication is a two-way street. You talk to God but you must listen to his answer. I must say that I have never heard voices when God talks to me. God talks to me in the recesses of my mind. God talks to me when I am quiet and listen. God gives me direction, comfort, love, advice, forgiveness, assistance, gratitude – essentially all in all.

Lord Jesus I am here and always will be, now..then.. and forever and a day. My love for you will never die, Oh my Lord never do I wonder why. I have found my strength and it is straight through you, never will I again ask what should I do. Him plus me equals life with Him for eternity, So do not be afraid to ask Him for help, for Heaven is better than an eternity in Hell. The love that Jesus shares for all of us is PRECIOUS and should not be ignored, for He will always love each and every one of us forever and a day.

Peace be with all of you and God Bless.
