Sunday Oct 23

Dear friend, I wish you well.
I wish for you all of God's Grace and Love.
I wish for you to be filled with Joy and Happiness, that your health be strong and vibrant, that your mind be clear and bright, that your spirit be filled with Love and Praise for God, that you have all you could want and that your loved ones are the same.
Dear friend, you can not live in true happiness without God and His Grace.  So I pray that today and each day you turn to the One Source, the One God, the One Savior - Jesus Christ, the Son of God for your salvation and redemption.  
God gives freely, lovingly.  All you have to do is accept His Gift.  And consider yourself blessed that God chose you to bless with this immaculate, pure gift.  
How?  By FAITH AND HOPE!


Consider James Ryle's thoughts:

The True Wealth of a Devout Life
"The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it." (Proverbs 10:22, NIV).


Wealth must be measure by more than one's bank account, for the value of a man's life is not in what he possess — it is seen in the difference he made for the better in the lives of those he touched during his years on the earth.
Many a wealthy man has gone to his grave cursed. In the words of Sir Walter Scott — 
"High though his titles, 
proud his name, 
boundless his wealth 
as wish can claim; 
despite those titles, power, and pelf — 
the wretch, concentered all in self, 
living, shall forfeit fair renown, 
and, doubly dying, shall go down to the vile dust, 
from whence he sprung, unwept, unhonored, and unsung."


It is possible to become so captured by greed that one's life becomes ravaged by sorrow.
Listen to what the Bible tells us — "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:9,10).


This is the world's way to wealth. On the other hand — we have God's way.
"The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it." 
Should the Lord pour out His blessings upon your life and your riches increase — then respond by deepening your devotion to His name and expanding your passion for His purposes in the earth. See to it that your life 
exhibits humility in exaltation, 
that your generosity is applied with wisdom, 
your charity exercised in love, 
and your kindness to those who struggle from day to day becomes legendary.
That's the true wealth of a devout life.


I wish you the wealth and happiness that comes from God.
