IT ALL START WITH LOVE

Walking in the Light of God’s Truth and Love: Embrace the Harmony of His Purpose as He orchestrates All Things Together for the Greater Good. – Part 4

The Lift Off

As I complete the journey of this title and my notebook in green (Everlasting Hope), a new start begins… I started looking for a new notebook. There was one notebook left… It is white with a beautiful tree and its title is “It All Starts With Love”. Some years ago, what started with a project, designed notebooks, mugs, and a pen… later continued with all these writings, which today is a gift and a blessing. But I will come back to this point. It has been interesting how Father Almighty orchestrates all things together. There are many stages in this notebook, one of them is embracing harmony no matter the circumstance you find yourself in. You cannot learn unless you live it. Today, I met a friend I have not seen for quite a while. It was nice to remember our past and catch up with our today. We realize that our parents in general were strict, full of control, and compare what was, is, and will be in this beautiful path. Yet, today we realize the influence of our parents in our life, and how He, as Father Almighty, molded us through them in a different way to be stronger than we think, wiser, and seek for His knowledge. By this I mean, He made us resilient, with physical durability, mental grit, people, to be able to live in harmony in the good moments and in the worst moments and treasure all circumstances knowing that there is a learning and growth from it. 

 Such a ripple effect, just imagine… how a single action, event, or decision triggers a chain reaction of subsequent effects in a positive way towards our generation and people in general.  As said before: “Yes, today we are making bricks; tomorrow we will build roads.” He had a commitment to God that did not waver.”

We all are different, special, unique. We have been raised in different circumstances, but I believe firmly that there is a purpose for it. As we sat having lunch, we were reminded of her losing her father and me losing my mother. We call it in Spanish. “Diezmo de Diezmos” and it means not the same if you translate it as it would be “tithe of the tithe”. However, it means that one in the whole family will always be the one who always prays or prayed for the family somehow, somewhere, and always was the sweet, naive, yet bright, to do what nobody else wanted or wants to do, even when there is love from all. It sounds bad, but it is not. It is that you were selected by God, as the strongest, perhaps the softest, the different one(black, white, or the lost sheep…),yet you are it, and that is such a blessing in the eyes of God. I am reminded today of the reason why I love words, poems, and simply love to research deeper a word, as it has many more synonyms, which are words that share the same or nearly the same meaning, used to add variety to your writing, or antonyms are words that have the opposite meaning. It is the most awesome way to teach children, all in general, that for every good word, there are better, bigger, beautiful words that can bring out a smile in others, and for every not nice or nasty word, there are good words that overcome that particular situation. 

As I got  home from having lunch with my friend, I browsed through some books. One is “The Power of Proverbs” by Joel Osteen. Father Almighty yielded me to page 34. Proverbs 9:1-6 NIV  

 “Wisdom has built her house;
    she has set up[a] its seven pillars.

She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
    she has also set her table.

She has sent out her servants, and she calls
    from the highest point of the city,

    “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense, she says,

    “Come, eat my food
    and drink the wine I have mixed.

Leave your simple ways, and you will live;
    walk in the way of insight.”

And it says,“Pray without ceasing(1 Thessalonians 5:17). It does not mean getting on our knees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, never working, never doing anything else. No, it means all through the day , under our breath, in our thoughts, we are talking to God, thanking Him, asking for His help, meditating on His Word. This should be a lifestyle where it is so engrained in our thinking that it’s automatic.”  

Psalm 9:6 serves as a reminder that circumstances, injustices, or forces that oppose God’s purposes are not permanent. What appears strong today can be overturned by God’s hand. The verse encourages trust in God’s righteous judgment rather than fear of present opposition.

The second one is from Rick Warren and it says, “The best use of life is Love”. Life without love is really worthless.”Paul makes a point, “No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I am bankrupt without love.” 

“Love will last forever; to make love our top priority for God is that it is eternal: Three things continue: faith, hope, and love.” Love leaves a legacy. 

The third is from Bob Goff : “I used to think the words spoken about us describe who we are, but now I know they shape who we are.” Even though in the harshness and strictness, there was always love, and to be as Bob Goff says,  “Be Awesome.”

This song has been with me for the last two or three days, the song  from Cece Winans “ Worthy” and an excerpt of the lyrics that say:

“I stand amazed in Your love, undeniable.

Your grace goes on and on.

And I will sing of Your goodness forevermore.”

“Incandescent household light: Orange— the skin and clothing touched by the light.

In theology, light represents the presence, truth, and guidance of God. The term “incandescent” means emitting light as a result of being heated. When applied to God, it beautifully describes a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness.”

“Scripture frequently connects light directly to God:

  • The Creator: In Genesis, God calls forth light from primordial darkness to declare it good.
  • The Son: Jesus declared, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12), embodying God’s presence.
  • The Believer: Believers are called to be an “incandescent” reflection of this divinity, letting their light shine so others may see their good works and glorify God (Matthew 5:14-16).”

The word for today is Lift Off and it means “the action of a spacecraft or rocket leaving the ground and the act of starting to develop or improve suddenly” and the word Juncture, which is a critical point in time where events or conditions come together, or a specific place where two things join or connect. A point in time: A specific, often decisive moment in a process or a state of affairs (e.g., “At this juncture, we must decide whether to proceed.”) Point in time: Moment, crossroad, stage. Connection: Junction, joint, seam, union. The third word is “incandescent” it means emitting light as a result of being heated, it beautifully describes a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness.”

Uniting the words for this writing: “The action of a spacecraft or rocket leaving the ground and the act of starting to develop or improve suddenly” It is a critical point in time where events or conditions come together, or a specific place where two things join or connect. A point in time: A specific, often decisive moment in a process or a state of affairs where a decision is made to proceed. Emitting light as a result of being heated. it beautifully describes a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness.”

Psalm 40:6

Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—
    but my ears you have opened[c]—
    burnt offerings and sin offerings[d] you did not require.

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
    it is written about me in the scroll.[e]

I desire to do your will, my God;
    your law is within my heart.”

I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;
    I do not seal my lips, Lord,
    as you know.

10 

I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
    I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
    from the great assembly.

“If a grateful worshiper is not to make a sacrifice or offering to God, what should they do instead? Instead of presenting cereal or a gift, they are to present themselves. As the psalmist declares, “Here I am…” (verse 7). What does the Lord require? Not sacrifices, but the entirety of the person—a sentiment explicitly stated by Paul in Romans 12:1: “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your rational worship.” M.D. Johnson 

Glory be to the Father, Glory be to the Son and Glory be to the Holy Spirit. Here I am, oh Father, it is how you start your day says the Lord of the Heights. It is through these words that I see and hear your works. It is when you are dedicated to study your scriptures and you repeat to me, here I am…what is it for today. Today it is about the breadth of color and it means in human words says Jesus Christ in this day of grace “The “breadth of color” reflects the vastness of creation and the all-encompassing nature of God’s character. In theology and nature, this concept highlights how God’s love and presence stretch across every hue, encompassing the full diversity of life rather than being limited to a single shade.”

You are my mirror image here in this terrain, where instead of making it so complicated, it can be simplified. You see, today is the day of orange; today, orange is humbleness, and humbleness is simply being direct. How can one determine your honesty? Your true love says, “ Jesus Christ in this day of grace is the temperature that rises in your heart with mine, adds value in honoring Me, and respects my law. He or she that is obedient and radiates a divine light over themselves as well as others, such a glow of love that darkness can overcome.” 

Stop closing doors, look at what immense opportunities one can create while I bring you the stones. You are to create stepping stones. Therefore, do not cease to look for me to find me because there is a solution for everything. Ephesians 3:14-19 “14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a]in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” This is how my road shall be paved, says the Lord of the Heights. Did I waver when I placed this place you call home? This I decide this day, this and that day something different, no, says the Lord. Instead, “2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” -Hebrews 11:2-3 NIV. It all comes to a point at this juncture. We must decide whether to proceed. Proverbs 1:22 NIV “22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?” Of what I am showing you. Oh, says the Lord of the Heights, I do not waver nor do I give up, but what I do…I do give time, I do space, and let your heart make that call. It is called Free Will, freedom to decide based on what you have given to me, and for sure, I will make you feel it in your heart. Build the roads, bring the change, seam together because you are worthy for this time. I do not speak to one, I speak to all. I do not speak for one point but speak for all points. You, yes you, I tell you, you are my child, you are my children, and my grace covers it all, says Jesus Christ in this day.

Today, an “incandescent household light” is turned on, and it is orange because you, my son and my daughter, your skin and all that you wear and your hair are being touched by the light.

That light represents the presence, truth, and guidance of God. You are so emitting light at this moment, a divine radiance that is pure, an eternal glow that hovers with love all over the world. A light that no darkness can overtake. It is a time to lift off, let it rise, who against you if I am with you says the Lord of the Heights in this day. Many, many, and many are the people who have started this beautiful light change, you children of mine, you think oh no where has it gone, instead of up it is going differently. Here, truly I say to you, It is not in the up or in the down, it is the balance that you keep in your heart. You believe, you hope, and you have faith says Jesus Christ in this but it does not depend on others, it depends on you. I selected you, I marked you in the womb of your mother, you were born from a time like this so you may take that burning light and flame it, like the flag that waves and never gets tired. Like those who are at a distance, who come and go waving hello and goodbye imagine how difficult it is to let go says Jesus Christ. In the middle of the battle, no surrender is allowed, but it is in your heart to do what is good and know what is bad. It is about changing institutions, it is about the monetary policies, it is about achieving what your mother and grandmother left in your hands, which still stands for that beautiful key that only you can open and use. Glory be to the Highest in Heaven, Glory be to Jesus Christ, and Glory be to the Holy Spirit, ask me to come, raise your voices and you will see and hear my presence in your nation, with faith, love, and hope. The battle is in the aftermath of any event, it then and only then that you see true love, true neighborly love. In these coming times, there will be changes within structures, changes in the Federal Reserve, in Communications, in Education, in the Financial Market participants. But I tell you, a lift-off will take place, building a strong international institution, contributing to modernization, conducting new academic research for universities, opening new doors for nourishment. Many secrets will unfold of fantastic moments to say thank you, unmoved, untied profitability, and the ability to bring results fulfilling beyond the expectation. A different economy driven by a healthy spending.

Isaiah 31-32:4-5 NIV 

4 This is what the Lord says to me:

“As a lion growls,
    a great lion over its prey—
and though a whole band of shepherds
    is called together against it,
it is not frightened by their shouts
    or disturbed by their clamor—
so the Lord Almighty will come down
    to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.

Like birds hovering overhead,
    the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver it,
    he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.”

Yet, this is not new, says the Lord of the Heights. So many concerns, but I am not here to stress, nor for you to be anxious, no, says the Lord of the Heights. I am here as your protector, guardian, loving caregiver. I am here to tell you to place it in my hands, to place a habit in your home, to make a difference for your child or your children. Do you not see the changes that are happening the day of today in your household? Have you not seen that if you pray over the school buses, things and moments are changing? A time to uplift every heart, as many spiritual thoughts expressed in music are fulfilling body, heart, and mind. Still small voices are winning over minds in youngsters and teenagers not realizing yet what is happening, but it is all in how focused you are in Me, and it will not take place because I am shielding you from everything. I am here because in the midst of circumstances, you can still find joy. I am here to assure followers that it all stands in the singleness of your heart, in the simplicity as long as it is done with love. Go, yes, go to church. If not, invite your friends over and unite to read my word, to praise, and to sing, and join the one on tv or internet where I am at is where two or more gather to pray together. Glory be to the Father, Glory be to the Son, and Glory be to the Holy Spirit. There is a tool chest ready to be opened by each one of you. Do you remember the time you went to the dentist and there was or is a tool chest full of candies and toys for your children or even for you as a parent? The purpose to improve your teeth, or receive a cleaning, well in the same way says Jesus Christ, there is a purpose for all that I am saying. Love and do not be quiet but share, share and care, protect those who cannot be protected and live, find yourself worldly wisdom, look and write your strengths and weaknesses, grow, yes grow and find what you need in my word. Many but many say the word has not nice things, no children of mine that is not true, it teaches you values, growth, respect, obedience and most of all to be faithful, to love each other and to have a hope that has no yielding, but true believe that everything is possible in this world. 

It is through many moments that people realize that you have an angel, or that angels have been sent before you to the battle and paved a way for you. It is in the most difficult moments that you realize how we have neglected our Father in Heaven, how we have set aside our own beliefs that keep us in shape, that there is a time to dance, a time to sing, a time to praise, and a time to pray, and victory will find you.  The dark side wants to destroy your happiness; he comes in, brings you sadness, and says, “Oh, look, nothing that you did is good. Just because you placed the seed and did not see the harvest yet, does not mean that it will come. It is hard when you see that you have seeded and nothing comes out. But, it is like the animals and their babies; some grow fast, and others take their time, and believe me, my timing is perfect. Ephesians 2:6 “6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,” In the book Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at the Table by Louie Giglio, it says “Instead, we should be screaming, “shut up! You are the one who tried to convince me this was a great idea. I am done with you . I am a child of the Most High God, a new creation , even when I sin, those facts do not change. See, if the enemy can accuse you of sin, he can condemn you, and this is the ultimate blow; the enemy has just pronounced a judgement on you. You are unworthy, you are finished, you are a complete failure. You have no value, no more worth , you have no more future. That is what the enemy wants to do to you. He wants to see you in rubbles.” This point is so necessary for your youth today, that even in the middle of the struggles, to be able to focus in that moment of divine radiance, “a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness”. Father Almighty has a special place in your heart that not one person can turn off, that there is a promised land. Father Almighty is a Father of kindness, and we should never forget where we were, where we are today, and the beautiful future that awaits us. Remind yourself of your inner beauty and let that light shine on others, so they may see that darkness cannot steal what God has given, provided, and has done for you. Sheer joy in His presence and in the presence of others. Psalm 16:10-11 MSG 9-10  I’m happy from the inside out,
and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed. You canceled my ticket to hell—that’s not my destination!11 Now you’ve got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I’m on the right way. “Let this be your daily dose of vitamin and mineral that nurtures naturally your body” and “I don’t think I can live my life according to whatever popular opinion is. I think everyone has to live their life knowing that God is the one that will judge us at the end, not all these people who give their opinion.” said by Father Albert Cutie in one of his masses that I attended and quotes. 

I am who I am, Alpha and Omega, Giver and taker says the Lord of the Heights. My kingdom reaches to all creation from the ocean bottom to the highest of peaks. I hear you, I hear you the rumbling and tumbling. I see your heart, I see your necessity and take care of my sheep. You will not be left alone. Do you not see that there is an omniscience defense, meaning the divine attribute of being all-knowing in all your surroundings? Here and there, Jeremiah 23:24 NIV 24  Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.

Psalm 139:7-12 NIV 

Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 

even there your hand will guide me,
    your right hand will hold me fast.

11 

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”

12 

even the darkness will not be dark to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

Encourage your generations, regardless of their age, to reach for the stars. Hope that this pursuit will foster a genuine confidence rooted in My perspective. This shift in focus from self-reliance to God-confidence will lead individuals to discover their strength, worth, and boldness in their identity as creations of God, rather than in their own perceived perfection. Emphasize the importance of contentment and the beauty of cultivating a calm and quiet soul. Above all, remind them that even without My presence, their faith, hope, and love reside within Me. As they rise up, know that I, your Father Almighty, will protect those who seek humility. It is why My word, the gospel, is today universal; it is the core of what I am doing here, so there may be hope for the future that you as individuals believe is lost. But it is Me, rebuilding you, says Jesus Christ in this day. It is not to take by granted what you have, but to make the most from it all, no justification what is or what not. But faith, knowing that My grace has set your purpose free, so many mysteries in these days that go beyond your own understanding. Yet, I seek to bring brilliant minds and open doors so agriculture may flourish once more, so there may be righteousness that takes away dullness, prayerlessness, Godlessness, those who have no peace, or even those who have been silent speak, walk, and that belief that once was given by generations that loved them be imparted once more, says the Lord of the Heights. So they may be born in a new life. 

Be consistent, my children. You have been given one of my biggest treasures: to be able to reach the divine, be wise, just, and fearless, faithful, tender, quiet, gentle, persevering, liberating, saving, compassionate, meek, and maintain my inseparable love and hold in your heart the certainty of the divine promises. Never forget that I am here. I see you, the one that sits in that balcony and looks up at the stars. I hear your perils. I have answered some of your questions. I see your sickness, for you the one at times that you feel more comfortable in the bathroom and every time you get hurt in your heart and tears fall like cascades from your eyes in the middle of discussion and difficulties, and just when it seems that all is about to fall apart, I know your needs, where you think there is failure and yet, I extend my hand picking up family troubles bringing victories and ripping apart disappointments. I am always with you. Do not let the truth of my word be misunderstood. Every path is a new learning. Nobody said it would be easy. Let that baptism that you, you my son, be a new birth for you and not be confused with a physical birth and let not the water of life be confused with the physical water. There is a blessing in the difference made with a purpose. So today, I come to tell you all, finish your race. Nobody, not one person can finish it for you, just you in integrity. Walk with me faithfully and you will maintain your balance, you will maintain your joy. 

My children, there are so many souls, they rejoice in heaven and the beauty of it all is how they receive permission to be part of your life. The beauty of our Father Almighty, to you, my son, yes, yes, you who miss your Father immensely and treasured him. Yes, the one who had so much patience when you were stubborn, the one who helped you learn how to ride that bike, the one who used to race with the dogs and look back laughing. The one who was always listening to you and always attentively. Today I bring a salutation to you. Such a character he was. Today a hug with love in this coming event to celebrate you in that special day that you celebrated him.

All these lyrics in this day with love, keep what belongs to you and the rest release to who it corresponds in Jesus’ name, amen. 

Proverbs 8-10 NIV 

Wisdom’s Call

Does not wisdom call out?
    Does not understanding raise her voice?

At the highest point along the way,
    where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

beside the gate leading into the city,
    at the entrance, she cries aloud:

“To you, O people, I call out;
    I raise my voice to all mankind.

You who are simple, gain prudence;
    you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]

Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
    I open my lips to speak what is right.

My mouth speaks what is true,
    for my lips detest wickedness.

All the words of my mouth are just;
    none of them is crooked or perverse.

To the discerning all of them are right;
    they are upright to those who have found knowledge.

10 

Choose my instruction instead of silver,
    knowledge rather than choice gold,

11 

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
    and nothing you desire can compare with her.

12 

“I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
    I possess knowledge and discretion.

13 

To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
    I hate pride and arrogance,
    evil behavior and perverse speech.

14 

Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
    I have insight, I have power.

15 

By me kings reign
    and rulers issue decrees that are just;

16 

by me princes govern,
    and nobles—all who rule on earth.[b]

17 

I love those who love me,
    and those who seek me find me.

18 

With me are riches and honor,
    enduring wealth and prosperity.

19 

My fruit is better than fine gold;
    what I yield surpasses choice silver.

20 

I walk in the way of righteousness,
    along the paths of justice,

21 

bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
    and making their treasuries full.

22 

“The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[c][d]
    before his deeds of old;

23 

I was formed long ages ago,
    at the very beginning, when the world came to be.

24 

When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
    when there were no springs overflowing with water;

25 

before the mountains were settled in place,
    before the hills, I was given birth,

26 

before he made the world or its fields
    or any of the dust of the earth.

27 

I was there when he set the heavens in place,
    when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

28 

when he established the clouds above
    and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

29 

when he gave the sea its boundary
    so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

30 

    Then I was constantly[e] at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
    rejoicing always in his presence,

31 

rejoicing in his whole world
    and delighting in mankind.

32 

“Now then, my children, listen to me;
    blessed are those who keep my ways.

33 

Listen to my instruction and be wise;
    do not disregard it.

34 

Blessed are those who listen to me,
    watching daily at my doors,
    waiting at my doorway.

35 

For those who find me find life
    and receive favor from the Lord.

36 

But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
    all who hate me love death.”

Together, they demonstrate that God safeguards His people with both strength and tenderness. For many believers, this passage also prophetically points to God’s care over His covenant people and serves as a depiction of how He protects those who trust Him—fierce against threats, yet gentle toward those under His protection.Psalm 91 “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.” This is a message of love. Consider your issues resolved, you are respected, rewarded, saved, so hold and inspire, lead and care from my flock. GOOD ORDER IN WORSHIP AND WITNESSING, SO THAT YOU MAY TESTIFY OF THE GREATER GLORY, ENABLING HUMAN PRECEPT WHERE THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE.

REMEMBER, WHAT YOU HAD ONCE LOST, YOU HAVE NOW FOUND, YOU HAVE BEEN ANNOINTED FOR THIS TIME. IT ALL STARTS WITH LOVE.

“Jesus does not invite us on a business trip. Instead, He says let go of those things that inspire and challenge you and let’s experience them together. You don’t need a lot of details of luggage or equipment, just a willingness to go into a storm with Father who’s kicking footholds into the stepsides of our problems while we kick a couple in ourselves too. He guides us into those footholds with His strong hands while we’re safely tethered to Him by a right by a rope of grace, which holds us securely. Somehow in all this, the terrain we navigate doesn’t seem as scary either, because when we’re on an adventure with God we’re excited to be afraid and too engaged to be thinking of anything else. Love Does by Bob Goff

John 10:7-18 NIV The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 NIV

9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.

11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

Romans 8:38-39 NIV 

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 4:4 NIV 

4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Hebrews 13:25 NIV 

25 Grace be with you all.

the Light of God’s Truth and Love: Embrace the Harmony of His Purpose as He orchestrates All Things Together for the Greater Good. – Part 4

The Lift Off

As I complete the journey of this title and my notebook in green (Everlasting Hope), a new start begins… I started looking for a new notebook. There was one notebook left… It is white with a beautiful tree and its title is “It All Starts With Love”. Some years ago, what started with a project, designed notebooks, mugs, and a pen… later continued with all these writings, which today is a gift and a blessing. But I will come back to this point. It has been interesting how Father Almighty orchestrates all things together. There are many stages in this notebook, one of them is embracing harmony no matter the circumstance you find yourself in. You cannot learn unless you live it. Today, I met a friend I have not seen for quite a while. It was nice to remember our past and catch up with our today. We realize that our parents in general were strict, full of control, and compare what was, is, and will be in this beautiful path. Yet, today we realize the influence of our parents in our life, and how He, as Father Almighty, molded us through them in a different way to be stronger than we think, wiser, and seek for His knowledge. By this I mean, He made us resilient, with physical durability, mental grit, people, to be able to live in harmony in the good moments and in the worst moments and treasure all circumstances knowing that there is a learning and growth from it. 

 Such a ripple effect, just imagine… how a single action, event, or decision triggers a chain reaction of subsequent effects in a positive way towards our generation and people in general.  As said before: “Yes, today we are making bricks; tomorrow we will build roads.” He had a commitment to God that did not waver.”

We all are different, special, unique. We have been raised in different circumstances, but I believe firmly that there is a purpose for it. As we sat having lunch, we were reminded of her losing her father and me losing my mother. We call it in Spanish. “Diezmo de Diezmos” and it means not the same if you translate it as it would be “tithe of the tithe”. However, it means that one in the whole family will always be the one who always prays or prayed for the family somehow, somewhere, and always was the sweet, naive, yet bright, to do what nobody else wanted or wants to do, even when there is love from all. It sounds bad, but it is not. It is that you were selected by God, as the strongest, perhaps the softest, the different one(black, white, or the lost sheep…),yet you are it, and that is such a blessing in the eyes of God. I am reminded today of the reason why I love words, poems, and simply love to research deeper a word, as it has many more synonyms, which are words that share the same or nearly the same meaning, used to add variety to your writing, or antonyms are words that have the opposite meaning. It is the most awesome way to teach children, all in general, that for every good word, there are better, bigger, beautiful words that can bring out a smile in others, and for every not nice or nasty word, there are good words that overcome that particular situation. 

As I got  home from having lunch with my friend, I browsed through some books. One is “The Power of Proverbs” by Joel Osteen. Father Almighty yielded me to page 34. Proverbs 9:1-6 NIV  

 “Wisdom has built her house;
    she has set up[a] its seven pillars.

She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;
    she has also set her table.

She has sent out her servants, and she calls
    from the highest point of the city,

    “Let all who are simple come to my house!”
To those who have no sense, she says,

    “Come, eat my food
    and drink the wine I have mixed.

Leave your simple ways, and you will live;
    walk in the way of insight.”

And it says,“Pray without ceasing(1 Thessalonians 5:17). It does not mean getting on our knees 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, never working, never doing anything else. No, it means all through the day , under our breath, in our thoughts, we are talking to God, thanking Him, asking for His help, meditating on His Word. This should be a lifestyle where it is so engrained in our thinking that it’s automatic.”  

Psalm 9:6 serves as a reminder that circumstances, injustices, or forces that oppose God’s purposes are not permanent. What appears strong today can be overturned by God’s hand. The verse encourages trust in God’s righteous judgment rather than fear of present opposition.

The second one is from Rick Warren and it says, “The best use of life is Love”. Life without love is really worthless.”Paul makes a point, “No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I am bankrupt without love.” 

“Love will last forever; to make love our top priority for God is that it is eternal: Three things continue: faith, hope, and love.” Love leaves a legacy. 

The third is from Bob Goff : “I used to think the words spoken about us describe who we are, but now I know they shape who we are.” Even though in the harshness and strictness, there was always love, and to be as Bob Goff says,  “Be Awesome.”

This song has been with me for the last two or three days, the song  from Cece Winans “ Worthy” and an excerpt of the lyrics that say:

“I stand amazed in Your love, undeniable.

Your grace goes on and on.

And I will sing of Your goodness forevermore.”

“Incandescent household light: Orange— the skin and clothing touched by the light.

In theology, light represents the presence, truth, and guidance of God. The term “incandescent” means emitting light as a result of being heated. When applied to God, it beautifully describes a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness.”

“Scripture frequently connects light directly to God:

  • The Creator: In Genesis, God calls forth light from primordial darkness to declare it good.
  • The Son: Jesus declared, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12), embodying God’s presence.
  • The Believer: Believers are called to be an “incandescent” reflection of this divinity, letting their light shine so others may see their good works and glorify God (Matthew 5:14-16).”

The word for today is Lift Off and it means “the action of a spacecraft or rocket leaving the ground and the act of starting to develop or improve suddenly” and the word Juncture, which is a critical point in time where events or conditions come together, or a specific place where two things join or connect. A point in time: A specific, often decisive moment in a process or a state of affairs (e.g., “At this juncture, we must decide whether to proceed.”) Point in time: Moment, crossroad, stage. Connection: Junction, joint, seam, union. The third word is “incandescent” it means emitting light as a result of being heated, it beautifully describes a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness.”

Uniting the words for this writing: “The action of a spacecraft or rocket leaving the ground and the act of starting to develop or improve suddenly” It is a critical point in time where events or conditions come together, or a specific place where two things join or connect. A point in time: A specific, often decisive moment in a process or a state of affairs where a decision is made to proceed. Emitting light as a result of being heated. it beautifully describes a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness.”

Psalm 40:6

Many, Lord my God,
    are the wonders you have done,
    the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
    were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
    they would be too many to declare.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—
    but my ears you have opened[c]—
    burnt offerings and sin offerings[d] you did not require.

Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
    it is written about me in the scroll.[e]

I desire to do your will, my God;
    your law is within my heart.”

I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;
    I do not seal my lips, Lord,
    as you know.

10 

I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
    I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
    from the great assembly.

“If a grateful worshiper is not to make a sacrifice or offering to God, what should they do instead? Instead of presenting cereal or a gift, they are to present themselves. As the psalmist declares, “Here I am…” (verse 7). What does the Lord require? Not sacrifices, but the entirety of the person—a sentiment explicitly stated by Paul in Romans 12:1: “Present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your rational worship.” M.D. Johnson 

Glory be to the Father, Glory be to the Son and Glory be to the Holy Spirit. Here I am, oh Father, it is how you start your day says the Lord of the Heights. It is through these words that I see and hear your works. It is when you are dedicated to study your scriptures and you repeat to me, here I am…what is it for today. Today it is about the breadth of color and it means in human words says Jesus Christ in this day of grace “The “breadth of color” reflects the vastness of creation and the all-encompassing nature of God’s character. In theology and nature, this concept highlights how God’s love and presence stretch across every hue, encompassing the full diversity of life rather than being limited to a single shade.”

You are my mirror image here in this terrain, where instead of making it so complicated, it can be simplified. You see, today is the day of orange; today, orange is humbleness, and humbleness is simply being direct. How can one determine your honesty? Your true love says, “ Jesus Christ in this day of grace is the temperature that rises in your heart with mine, adds value in honoring Me, and respects my law. He or she that is obedient and radiates a divine light over themselves as well as others, such a glow of love that darkness can overcome.” 

Stop closing doors, look at what immense opportunities one can create while I bring you the stones. You are to create stepping stones. Therefore, do not cease to look for me to find me because there is a solution for everything. Ephesians 3:14-19 “14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a]in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” This is how my road shall be paved, says the Lord of the Heights. Did I waver when I placed this place you call home? This I decide this day, this and that day something different, no, says the Lord. Instead, “2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” -Hebrews 11:2-3 NIV. It all comes to a point at this juncture. We must decide whether to proceed. Proverbs 1:22 NIV “22 “How long will you who are simple love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?” Of what I am showing you. Oh, says the Lord of the Heights, I do not waver nor do I give up, but what I do…I do give time, I do space, and let your heart make that call. It is called Free Will, freedom to decide based on what you have given to me, and for sure, I will make you feel it in your heart. Build the roads, bring the change, seam together because you are worthy for this time. I do not speak to one, I speak to all. I do not speak for one point but speak for all points. You, yes you, I tell you, you are my child, you are my children, and my grace covers it all, says Jesus Christ in this day.

Today, an “incandescent household light” is turned on, and it is orange because you, my son and my daughter, your skin and all that you wear and your hair are being touched by the light.

That light represents the presence, truth, and guidance of God. You are so emitting light at this moment, a divine radiance that is pure, an eternal glow that hovers with love all over the world. A light that no darkness can overtake. It is a time to lift off, let it rise, who against you if I am with you says the Lord of the Heights in this day. Many, many, and many are the people who have started this beautiful light change, you children of mine, you think oh no where has it gone, instead of up it is going differently. Here, truly I say to you, It is not in the up or in the down, it is the balance that you keep in your heart. You believe, you hope, and you have faith says Jesus Christ in this but it does not depend on others, it depends on you. I selected you, I marked you in the womb of your mother, you were born from a time like this so you may take that burning light and flame it, like the flag that waves and never gets tired. Like those who are at a distance, who come and go waving hello and goodbye imagine how difficult it is to let go says Jesus Christ. In the middle of the battle, no surrender is allowed, but it is in your heart to do what is good and know what is bad. It is about changing institutions, it is about the monetary policies, it is about achieving what your mother and grandmother left in your hands, which still stands for that beautiful key that only you can open and use. Glory be to the Highest in Heaven, Glory be to Jesus Christ, and Glory be to the Holy Spirit, ask me to come, raise your voices and you will see and hear my presence in your nation, with faith, love, and hope. The battle is in the aftermath of any event, it then and only then that you see true love, true neighborly love. In these coming times, there will be changes within structures, changes in the Federal Reserve, in Communications, in Education, in the Financial Market participants. But I tell you, a lift-off will take place, building a strong international institution, contributing to modernization, conducting new academic research for universities, opening new doors for nourishment. Many secrets will unfold of fantastic moments to say thank you, unmoved, untied profitability, and the ability to bring results fulfilling beyond the expectation. A different economy driven by a healthy spending.

Isaiah 31-32:4-5 NIV 

4 This is what the Lord says to me:

“As a lion growls,
    a great lion over its prey—
and though a whole band of shepherds
    is called together against it,
it is not frightened by their shouts
    or disturbed by their clamor—
so the Lord Almighty will come down
    to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.

Like birds hovering overhead,
    the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver it,
    he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.”

Yet, this is not new, says the Lord of the Heights. So many concerns, but I am not here to stress, nor for you to be anxious, no, says the Lord of the Heights. I am here as your protector, guardian, loving caregiver. I am here to tell you to place it in my hands, to place a habit in your home, to make a difference for your child or your children. Do you not see the changes that are happening the day of today in your household? Have you not seen that if you pray over the school buses, things and moments are changing? A time to uplift every heart, as many spiritual thoughts expressed in music are fulfilling body, heart, and mind. Still small voices are winning over minds in youngsters and teenagers not realizing yet what is happening, but it is all in how focused you are in Me, and it will not take place because I am shielding you from everything. I am here because in the midst of circumstances, you can still find joy. I am here to assure followers that it all stands in the singleness of your heart, in the simplicity as long as it is done with love. Go, yes, go to church. If not, invite your friends over and unite to read my word, to praise, and to sing, and join the one on tv or internet where I am at is where two or more gather to pray together. Glory be to the Father, Glory be to the Son, and Glory be to the Holy Spirit. There is a tool chest ready to be opened by each one of you. Do you remember the time you went to the dentist and there was or is a tool chest full of candies and toys for your children or even for you as a parent? The purpose to improve your teeth, or receive a cleaning, well in the same way says Jesus Christ, there is a purpose for all that I am saying. Love and do not be quiet but share, share and care, protect those who cannot be protected and live, find yourself worldly wisdom, look and write your strengths and weaknesses, grow, yes grow and find what you need in my word. Many but many say the word has not nice things, no children of mine that is not true, it teaches you values, growth, respect, obedience and most of all to be faithful, to love each other and to have a hope that has no yielding, but true believe that everything is possible in this world. 

It is through many moments that people realize that you have an angel, or that angels have been sent before you to the battle and paved a way for you. It is in the most difficult moments that you realize how we have neglected our Father in Heaven, how we have set aside our own beliefs that keep us in shape, that there is a time to dance, a time to sing, a time to praise, and a time to pray, and victory will find you.  The dark side wants to destroy your happiness; he comes in, brings you sadness, and says, “Oh, look, nothing that you did is good. Just because you placed the seed and did not see the harvest yet, does not mean that it will come. It is hard when you see that you have seeded and nothing comes out. But, it is like the animals and their babies; some grow fast, and others take their time, and believe me, my timing is perfect. Ephesians 2:6 “6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,” In the book Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at the Table by Louie Giglio, it says “Instead, we should be screaming, “shut up! You are the one who tried to convince me this was a great idea. I am done with you . I am a child of the Most High God, a new creation , even when I sin, those facts do not change. See, if the enemy can accuse you of sin, he can condemn you, and this is the ultimate blow; the enemy has just pronounced a judgement on you. You are unworthy, you are finished, you are a complete failure. You have no value, no more worth , you have no more future. That is what the enemy wants to do to you. He wants to see you in rubbles.” This point is so necessary for your youth today, that even in the middle of the struggles, to be able to focus in that moment of divine radiance, “a divine radiance—an overwhelming, pure, and eternal glow of love that pierces through the darkness”. Father Almighty has a special place in your heart that not one person can turn off, that there is a promised land. Father Almighty is a Father of kindness, and we should never forget where we were, where we are today, and the beautiful future that awaits us. Remind yourself of your inner beauty and let that light shine on others, so they may see that darkness cannot steal what God has given, provided, and has done for you. Sheer joy in His presence and in the presence of others. Psalm 16:10-11 MSG 9-10  I’m happy from the inside out,
and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed. You canceled my ticket to hell—that’s not my destination!11 Now you’ve got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I’m on the right way. “Let this be your daily dose of vitamin and mineral that nurtures naturally your body” and “I don’t think I can live my life according to whatever popular opinion is. I think everyone has to live their life knowing that God is the one that will judge us at the end, not all these people who give their opinion.” said by Father Albert Cutie in one of his masses that I attended and quotes. 

I am who I am, Alpha and Omega, Giver and taker says the Lord of the Heights. My kingdom reaches to all creation from the ocean bottom to the highest of peaks. I hear you, I hear you the rumbling and tumbling. I see your heart, I see your necessity and take care of my sheep. You will not be left alone. Do you not see that there is an omniscience defense, meaning the divine attribute of being all-knowing in all your surroundings? Here and there, Jeremiah 23:24 NIV 24  Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.

Psalm 139:7-12 NIV 

Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 

even there your hand will guide me,
    your right hand will hold me fast.

11 

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”

12 

even the darkness will not be dark to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

Encourage your generations, regardless of their age, to reach for the stars. Hope that this pursuit will foster a genuine confidence rooted in My perspective. This shift in focus from self-reliance to God-confidence will lead individuals to discover their strength, worth, and boldness in their identity as creations of God, rather than in their own perceived perfection. Emphasize the importance of contentment and the beauty of cultivating a calm and quiet soul. Above all, remind them that even without My presence, their faith, hope, and love reside within Me. As they rise up, know that I, your Father Almighty, will protect those who seek humility. It is why My word, the gospel, is today universal; it is the core of what I am doing here, so there may be hope for the future that you as individuals believe is lost. But it is Me, rebuilding you, says Jesus Christ in this day. It is not to take by granted what you have, but to make the most from it all, no justification what is or what not. But faith, knowing that My grace has set your purpose free, so many mysteries in these days that go beyond your own understanding. Yet, I seek to bring brilliant minds and open doors so agriculture may flourish once more, so there may be righteousness that takes away dullness, prayerlessness, Godlessness, those who have no peace, or even those who have been silent speak, walk, and that belief that once was given by generations that loved them be imparted once more, says the Lord of the Heights. So they may be born in a new life. 

Be consistent, my children. You have been given one of my biggest treasures: to be able to reach the divine, be wise, just, and fearless, faithful, tender, quiet, gentle, persevering, liberating, saving, compassionate, meek, and maintain my inseparable love and hold in your heart the certainty of the divine promises. Never forget that I am here. I see you, the one that sits in that balcony and looks up at the stars. I hear your perils. I have answered some of your questions. I see your sickness, for you the one at times that you feel more comfortable in the bathroom and every time you get hurt in your heart and tears fall like cascades from your eyes in the middle of discussion and difficulties, and just when it seems that all is about to fall apart, I know your needs, where you think there is failure and yet, I extend my hand picking up family troubles bringing victories and ripping apart disappointments. I am always with you. Do not let the truth of my word be misunderstood. Every path is a new learning. Nobody said it would be easy. Let that baptism that you, you my son, be a new birth for you and not be confused with a physical birth and let not the water of life be confused with the physical water. There is a blessing in the difference made with a purpose. So today, I come to tell you all, finish your race. Nobody, not one person can finish it for you, just you in integrity. Walk with me faithfully and you will maintain your balance, you will maintain your joy. 

My children, there are so many souls, they rejoice in heaven and the beauty of it all is how they receive permission to be part of your life. The beauty of our Father Almighty, to you, my son, yes, yes, you who miss your Father immensely and treasured him. Yes, the one who had so much patience when you were stubborn, the one who helped you learn how to ride that bike, the one who used to race with the dogs and look back laughing. The one who was always listening to you and always attentively. Today I bring a salutation to you. Such a character he was. Today a hug with love in this coming event to celebrate you in that special day that you celebrated him.

All these lyrics in this day with love, keep what belongs to you and the rest release to who it corresponds in Jesus’ name, amen. 

Proverbs 8-10 NIV 

Wisdom’s Call

Does not wisdom call out?
    Does not understanding raise her voice?

At the highest point along the way,
    where the paths meet, she takes her stand;

beside the gate leading into the city,
    at the entrance, she cries aloud:

“To you, O people, I call out;
    I raise my voice to all mankind.

You who are simple, gain prudence;
    you who are foolish, set your hearts on it.[a]

Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say;
    I open my lips to speak what is right.

My mouth speaks what is true,
    for my lips detest wickedness.

All the words of my mouth are just;
    none of them is crooked or perverse.

To the discerning all of them are right;
    they are upright to those who have found knowledge.

10 

Choose my instruction instead of silver,
    knowledge rather than choice gold,

11 

for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
    and nothing you desire can compare with her.

12 

“I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
    I possess knowledge and discretion.

13 

To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
    I hate pride and arrogance,
    evil behavior and perverse speech.

14 

Counsel and sound judgment are mine;
    I have insight, I have power.

15 

By me kings reign
    and rulers issue decrees that are just;

16 

by me princes govern,
    and nobles—all who rule on earth.[b]

17 

I love those who love me,
    and those who seek me find me.

18 

With me are riches and honor,
    enduring wealth and prosperity.

19 

My fruit is better than fine gold;
    what I yield surpasses choice silver.

20 

I walk in the way of righteousness,
    along the paths of justice,

21 

bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me
    and making their treasuries full.

22 

“The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works,[c][d]
    before his deeds of old;

23 

I was formed long ages ago,
    at the very beginning, when the world came to be.

24 

When there were no watery depths, I was given birth,
    when there were no springs overflowing with water;

25 

before the mountains were settled in place,
    before the hills, I was given birth,

26 

before he made the world or its fields
    or any of the dust of the earth.

27 

I was there when he set the heavens in place,
    when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep,

28 

when he established the clouds above
    and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,

29 

when he gave the sea its boundary
    so the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

30 

    Then I was constantly[e] at his side.
I was filled with delight day after day,
    rejoicing always in his presence,

31 

rejoicing in his whole world
    and delighting in mankind.

32 

“Now then, my children, listen to me;
    blessed are those who keep my ways.

33 

Listen to my instruction and be wise;
    do not disregard it.

34 

Blessed are those who listen to me,
    watching daily at my doors,
    waiting at my doorway.

35 

For those who find me find life
    and receive favor from the Lord.

36 

But those who fail to find me harm themselves;
    all who hate me love death.”

Together, they demonstrate that God safeguards His people with both strength and tenderness. For many believers, this passage also prophetically points to God’s care over His covenant people and serves as a depiction of how He protects those who trust Him—fierce against threats, yet gentle toward those under His protection.Psalm 91 “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.” This is a message of love. Consider your issues resolved, you are respected, rewarded, saved, so hold and inspire, lead and care from my flock. GOOD ORDER IN WORSHIP AND WITNESSING, SO THAT YOU MAY TESTIFY OF THE GREATER GLORY, ENABLING HUMAN PRECEPT WHERE THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE.

REMEMBER, WHAT YOU HAD ONCE LOST, YOU HAVE NOW FOUND, YOU HAVE BEEN ANNOINTED FOR THIS TIME. IT ALL STARTS WITH LOVE.

“Jesus does not invite us on a business trip. Instead, He says let go of those things that inspire and challenge you and let’s experience them together. You don’t need a lot of details of luggage or equipment, just a willingness to go into a storm with Father who’s kicking footholds into the stepsides of our problems while we kick a couple in ourselves too. He guides us into those footholds with His strong hands while we’re safely tethered to Him by a right by a rope of grace, which holds us securely. Somehow in all this, the terrain we navigate doesn’t seem as scary either, because when we’re on an adventure with God we’re excited to be afraid and too engaged to be thinking of anything else. Love Does by Bob Goff

John 10:7-18 NIV The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 NIV

9 How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? 10 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.

11 Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. 12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. 13 May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones.

Romans 8:38-39 NIV 

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 John 4:4 NIV 

4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Hebrews 13:25 NIV 

25 Grace be with you all.
