The Journal of Ruth

Bible study this morning (yes I am awake at 5 am on a Saturday). God is speaking to me this morning about friends. My study bible said that loneliness is everywhere and that we all need friends who will stick close, listen, care, and offer help when needed in good times and in bad. We lead such busy lives that we don't hang out with friends as much any more. We all need true friends not just acquaintances. If you are feeling lonely and need a friend, first Jesus is your best friend and you can turn to him anytime and second reach out, there are friends waiting to hear from you. Reach out to me. Maybe I will start a true friends facebook group,

This was in my study bible this morning. Proverbs 11:9. Your words make a difference! Every person you meet is either a demolition site or a construction site. With just words we can tear people down or build them up. Will your words be weapons of destruction or tools for construction today? Have a blessed and wonderful day today.

God is the creator of heaven and earth. God is your creator! Therefore, He knows all about you and can fix any problem you have. Look up, keep your eyes on Him and say thank you today! Have a blessed day today!

We make choices everyday. Sometimes we have a difficult time making the right choice. As a Christian, we have the guiding hand of God and the Holy Spirit. Put the choice in the discerning light of God. Will it accomplish His will for His kingdom and for us? Have a blessed day.

This is how much God loves us. Jesus was born into this world to save us from our sins and make a way for us to have eternal life in heaven. Jesus died to pay our debt. That is how much He loves us. Now is the time to remember that. Celebrate Jesus this Christmas.

Yes Satan is still in the business of deceiving us humans with anything that will take us far away from God. The big things are drug additions, alcoholism, and pornography. But Satan is sneaky. Satan will use anything to keep us out of church, from reading the bible, and from praying, spending time with God. Like working long hours, a hobby or sport we are consumed with, the Tv and video games. So just be aware and be vigilant. Take a look at the the things in your life and ask yourself if it is worth it to not spend time with God. Be blessed today.

Here is a question for you today. Do you believe this? In this scripture from the bible, Jesus is asking you do you believe in Him? Do you believe that He is your savior? Do you believe that He died to pay the price for all of your sins? Do you believe that He was resurrected from the dead and now resides in heaven? Do you believe that He is the only way to get to heaven and have eternal life? If you are not sure about any of these questions, let me assure you that Jesus is the only way to heaven, to have a blessed life, to have peace and joy. I am always available if you need help answering these questions.
