Pray for Peace EVERYWHERE

Posted on June 27, 2015 by GraceAnne Leave a comment

LIVE in PEACE and PEACE will LIVE IN YOU….

OUR RESPONSE IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY….

PRAY~ get alone…out in NATURE…off the GRID at least ONE DAY A WEEK!

One day off and you will have less OFF DAYS! Genesis 2:2-3 sabbath peaceful rest for all~

Take care of yourself so that you can take care of others NOT TO BE SELFISH!!!

Like motherhood and fatherhood should be!

Do what GOD does not what others do or say

GOD IS THE ONLY PERFECT PARENT ( like a perfect father & mother & family!!!)

ASK GOD ALONE TO DIRECT YOU…
CRY OUT LIKE A BABY! …GOD WILL ANSWER IF YOU WILL LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART..!!!

NOT A CHURCH OR RELIGION though GOD can use anything !

LET GOD’S PURE WORD & SPIRIT ( sword)

be YOUR GUIDE & PROTECTION or PRO~ vision~

NOT A PERSON place or anything!!!

LIVE KINDLY & PEACEFULLY as much as possible….

it is always possible where there is

PURE AGAPE LOVE ~

Like GOD demonstrated in Hebrew Text & from Yeshua’s WORDS !

GOD WILL MAKE A WAY….sometimes HE PUTS US INTO A CAVE TO PROTECT US & MAKES SOMETHING NEW & MORE BEAUTIFUL out of the MESS we were stuck in….

GRATEFULLness in the LITTLE things and people!!! the least of us….

beauty for ashes….like a RAINBOW CRYSTAL after a VOLCANIC ERUPTION!

take a hike or at least a daily walk !

Posted on June 19, 2015 by GraceAnne 4 comments

Let’s drop everything and go for a walk!….best exercise for body , soul & spirit besides just plain BREATHING DEEPLY…

make the walk even better and take a friend along or meet a friend by greeting all those you meet…

and/or make it a prayer walk ….and Jesus might just show up…

would you recognize him…or her…hmmmmmm…..they did not 2,000 years ago…

and it does say in the Bible ” when you practice hostpitality sometimes you will entertain angels unaware”….I have!!! for sure…have YOU? leave me a comment …

you are missing out if you do not WALK WITH GOD DAILY….God will speak to you in nature and in the natural ….peoples eyes and peacock feathers…Darwin could not explain that !….the wind in the trees and your hair…can you explain the wind…neither can you explain GOD’S SPIRIT…GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT….but you can see what the WIND DOES…and WHAT THE SPIRIT DOES….or lack of a LOVING Spirit…..

there is SO much that God’s Spirit wants to share with you and help you with…

and then we can help & inSPIRE others …and THAT IS THE LIFE!!! …meaningful! !~ joy giving and therefore JOY~~~ FULL ..

.peace giving and therefore PEACE FULL

THOSE ARE WHAT PEOPLE MOST WANT DOWN DEEP…PEACE & JOY to be able to feel good about themselves which ultimately comes from serving others…

And Jesus, was the servant of all

OUR PERFECT EXAMPLE…

THE MOST PEACEFUL AND LOVING MAN WHO ALSO CLAIMED TO BE GOD …

FORGIVING HIS ENEMIES ON THE CROSS OF LOVE

THE GREAT I AM….

JESUS said that when he returns …he is looking to see IF YOU ARE WALKING WITH HIM and HIS WAYS…that HIS FATHER in HEAVEN TOLD HIM TO DO….LOVING each other & GOD

“when you do these things to the least of these you do it unto ME….”

NO GENDER…RACE….AGE….just plain compassion for all… Matthew 25:35

I was thirsty and you gave me water

I was hungry ….and you fed me …….a STRANGER AND YOU took me in…to your heart….

LET’S MEET ….FOR A WALK ..

HERE I come dancing down the street ….HEY HEY..

….looking for your smile!

missing you!

love,

grace’t*ruth

and don’t forget to STOP and smell the ROSES~

the most healing fragrance in the world…

gift of neighbors…

through eyes of forgiveness & love

Posted on June 3, 2015 by GraceAnne Leave a comment

GOD LOOKS AT THE HEART….I hope you will too!….because of HIS forgiveness & love for all!

I do not understand a lot of things but I do know the JOY of GOD Forgiving me & Loving me & LOVING unconditionally THROUGH ME!

My first & favorite Bible verse as a young child was John 3:16

“For GOD SO LOVED the world, (YOU & ME)

that He gave HIS ONLY SON, ( JESUS) (His most precious treasure)

that whoever BELIEVES IN HIM (to adopt us as HIS Spiritual Children too!)

shall not perish but have eternal life.” ( now & forever)

NOW THAT IS LOVE ~~~~~ A PRICELESS GIFT TO PROVE LOVE !!!

HAVE YOU RECEIVED THAT PURE LOVE INTO YOUR LIFE & HEART YET!!!???

How can God keep forgiving me and you? …for the little & big things…how could Jesus forgive his murderers?…the ones IN THE CHURCH & SYNAGOGUE and you & me?…how can we forgive liars, parents who slapped us and abandoned us, the liars, stealers, murderers & rapists in & out of churches , hospitals , police stations…..YES….all is being exposed now…& we better look in the mirror before we cast the first stone!!!!

JESUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD LIVE THIS LIFE PERFECTLY BECAUSE HE WAS GOD IN THE FLESH…THAT IS WHY HE CAN TALK TO HIS FATHER FOR US….and that is why we too can have access to the Father’s Throne of Grace because of & through Jesus…

I used a challenging photo on purpose…hopefully to get you & I to think about the EYES ~ the window of our soul! WHAT DO YOU SEE….it is all perspective…it is art or do you see something you should or should not be detracted by….let GOD BE YOUR EYES and OPEN YOUR EYES TO PURE LIGHT & LOVE and forgiveness & freedom!

ASK …..

How can I forgive myself when I blow it ?…how can I forgive you when you hurt me?…judge me?…mistreat me? …ignore me?…kill me or lust after me with your eyes no matter what I am wearing?….only by looking up to Jesus on the cross looking down at me with love and knowing that for my tears and yours he came to suffer & die …so we could have eternal life with HIS FATHER living in love & forgiveness…looking at the heart and not at the outside….we all blow it ….and though we purpose & strive not to we must practice following CHRIST’S example and just purely LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR as OURSELVES by staying close to GOD & looking in GOD’S EYES & HEART OF LOVE!

GOD IS MY ONLY JUDGE…HE KNOWS MY HEART …YOU DO NOT unless you KNOW MY GOD TOO!

GOD KNOWS MY NAME and HE LOVES ME IN SPITE OF MY WEAKNESSES and IMPERFECTIONS and maybe because of them….because I KNOW I NEED GOD AND I AM SO THANKFUL THAT HE LOVES ME JUST THE WAYS I AM AND THE WAYS I AM NOT!
I AM HIS CHILD AND GOD IS MY BELOVED!!!!

Song of Solomon 1-8

Song of Solomon 2:1,16 ” I am my beloved & He is mine!”

GOD’S BANNER OVER ME IS LOVE!

Have you received His love & forgiveness yet?

You must only ask!

Leave a comment & I will pray for you to my Father in Heaven who already knows your name & all your faults & loves you JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!!!!

Just LOVE MERCY humbly!

Posted on June 2, 2015 by GraceAnne Leave a comment

Micah 6:8

Life~ why are we here?

To love & be loved and do what we love ~ How?

Do the right thing, love ourselves & others and keep learning by staying humble ( having a teachable & listening heart).

When I look to Christ as my example , I see my constant need to be in touch with my Heavenly Father as Christ did. Christ had the habit of starting his day by going someplace where he could be alone to commune with his Father. Psalm 46:10 says

“BE STILL and know that I AM GOD!”

Jesus grew in favor with GOD & man and gave us an example of how to do that if we will study his life in the gospels ( Matthew 5:1-48 , Mark 3:34-35, Luke 1, John 1 ) and spend time in the mountain & by the sea & in the scripture as he did. Jesus loved all people but he knew he needed to get refreshed first thing in the day so he could keep refreshing & teaching others. His refreshment came from staying tuned in with his Heavenly Father praying & meditating on the Word of GOD . THAT IS THE SECRET.

Jesus was a radical Rabbi who knew the TORAH ( the first five books of the Bible) and all the Hebrew Texts including the powerful prophetic book of Isaiah (which was found completely in tact when the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered ) describing the Messiah ~ Yeshua ~ Jesus our Emmauel or “GOD WITH US” exactly, Isaiah 53:1-12 ,my mom’s favorite chapter of the Bible she read daily as did my daddy)

Sadly most people who claim to be Christians do not even know the teachings that Christ based His life on….and it was not what His teachers taught Him …it was what HIS FATHER in HEAVEN taught Him and the Holy Spirit who was his guide & teacher and told us that He would send us the Holy Spirit to help us. We have to be still …ask & listen with our heart!

TURN OFF YOUR CELL Phone, Computers, TV, radios….everything and just take time daily to listen …GOD WILL SPEAK TO YOU in that still small voice in your heart but you MUST SLOW DOWN…and BE STILL… psalm 46:10 especially first thing in the morning…

What we do first thing in the day sets the tone for the day…what you do….listen to…read…eat….you set the stage for PEACE, JOY & HEALTH…or….the opposite…

I CHOOSE JOY & PEACE! ….ABIDE ~ meaning stay connected.

A tree branch cut off of the fruit tree will not bear any more fruit and will die…!

THAT IS OUR STRENGTH!~ ABIDING IN CHRIST POWER OF LOVE & MERCY…justice & humiliy… ! Psalm 1 and John 15 ~ Micah 6:8 MEMORIZE AND MEDITATE ON THESE TRUTHS ~ IT WILL SET YOU FREE FROM FEAR AND PAIN AS YOU PRACTICE !

Practicing that presence of keeping our mind on things above ! Colossians 3

THE LOVE that GOD has continually for us ~ THE MERCY! A JUST GOD…who LOVES MERCY and walks with us if we will say YES!

I SAY YES by starting my day in prayer & praise for the first breath & the health secrets I have discovered by looking to GOD’S ways in HIS BOOK , the BIBLE and the people that GOD brings into my life daily but also the teachers that have inspired me ~ especially my dear Daddy . ( see my blog about Tribute to my dad)

EnJOY your day …take a deep breath~ ask for mercy & then walk humbly in it doing the next right thing ….that’s justice & mercy for all with JOY….by grace
