Go Shine For Jesus

My aunt once wrote “Go shine for Jesus”. I take it as her encouraging fellow believers to shine God’s light. This is something we ought to often be encouraging one another to do.

My aunt’s passion for Christ strengthens my own. Everyone needs the Lord, and staying silent about Him does no one any good.

I remember an old song that said not to hide the light under a bushel, it’s been years since I heard it, but it still sticks with me so vividly.

I guess timeless wisdom often has a way of doing that.

Remembering (Brother) Larry

I just found out that a friend of mine (since I was about 12 or so) passed away back in November of 2022.

His name was Larry, or brother Larry, and his relationship with/passion for the Lord Jesus literally defined his life.

I will miss him, but I know this present world isn’t all there is. My heart goes out to his family, as delayed as my condolences are.

The More, The Better

The more immersed in scripture you are, the better. Have you ever had a verse just spring to mind right when you need it?

To neglect Bible reading is like intentionally starving oneself.

Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness? Are you immersing your heart in the things of God?

If you haven’t been, I encourage you to do so. If you have been, I encourage you to do so more.

Don’t Be So Earthly Minded That You Neglect Eternal Matters

I used to hear a saying that went: “Don’t be so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good”.

I would actually advise, that people not be so earthly minded that they neglect eternal matters.

Jesus cares for humanity so deeply that He literally gave His life for us, what a person does with His gift matters, now and forever.

Whether they have a relationship with Him as Lord and Savior matters.

A.M. Notes

Good A.M. (or P.M. to you, depending where you are) I am so thrilled with so much going on in life right now. I was introduced to yet ANOTHER venue to share art.

Whatever you set your mind and hands to, so long as it is good, I hope it prospers, Dear Ones.

In other notes, I was able to get a Bible study done earlier, which is always excellent. I was also reading a ministry blog earlier, which I never grow weary of.

In fact I look forward to it whenever I get on.

Whatever today brings you, I hope it’s beautiful. I will go ahead and wrap this up. Much Love ♥️.

Oh, quick edit before I go for the day, my mother has a neurologist appointment today, please pray for good results for her. Thank you in advance.

Fresh Notes

Took a great break and am very refreshed. I shared some new art to my niche art blog, and a few other venues. I was doing a bit of online reading earlier as well.

On another, more important topic:

There’s a lot on my heart as I write this post, it is my fervent desire that all come to know the Lord Jesus.

There is a quote from a man named Penn Jillette, which says: “How much do you have to hate someone, to believe eternal life is possible and not tell them?”

Telling people about the Lord should be on the heart of EVERY believer, nobody should perish, Dear Ones. All should come to repentance.

If you’ve become lukewarm, if your passion for reaching out to others with the Love and truth of God has grown dull, my hope is that it be renewed.

We should Love each other as fervently as Jesus does.

That is all for now my friends. ❣️

Essential Fellowship

It is essential for believers to have fellowship with one another. I don’t just mean in a church building, though that is certainly good.

Finding communities of fellow believers can help nourish and sharpen our faith. You can find communities in many places, online and off.

Notes On East Palestine

The details of recent events in East Palestine, Ohio have been brought to my attention by another blogger, and they are truly heart wretching.

If you are unfamiliar with the story, look up East Palestine train derailment.

Also, keep the community there in your prayers. Thanks in advance.

Refreshing

I was reading a ministry page this morning, and it was so refreshing. Our hope should always and ultimately be in Christ Jesus.

If you don’t know Him yet, I pray today is the day you get to know Him.

Tomorrow on this Earth is not promised, but Jesus came and gave His life for us, so we can have eternity with Him, and be forgiven of our sins.

Good Morning All

Good morning Dear Ones,

What’s going on with you all? I was on a roll with creating yesterday. I don’t think I’ll ever stop unless my eyesight goes entirely or something otherwise catastrophic happens.

Presently, I’m watching scifi, later tonight my mom and I are planning a Bible study together. I’ve been looking forward to that.

Beyond that, I don’t know yet what today will look like, but I’m excited to find out.
