Make me a Channel of Your Peace.

~ Make me a Channel of Your Peace.  ~
Jesus said,
“Peace I Leave with You, My Peace I Give to You”. 
(John 14:27). 

That's a Wonderful, Loving Gift from Jesus.
It's something to be Truly Grateful for.

Jesus also said,
“Go into All the world and Preach the Gospel to Every Creature”. 
(Mark 16:15).

That means that as 'Disciples of Jesus', it's one of our Responsibilities to Help others 'Receive' that Wonderful Gift of Peace from Jesus.

How Do we Do that ?

By 'Being a Channel of Jesus's Peace'.  

Yes 'You' Can Be a Channel of Jesus's Peace.

How Do You Do it ?

There's two Very Important things.

~ First, You need to 'Know' the Real Jesus.

There's a Lot of Lies spread around about Jesus, and Unfortunately it's even being Peached by 'So Called' Believers on TV & YouTube ministries.

You can't Help others 'Receive' the Wonderful Gift of Jesus's Peace if You are Doing it from a 'Fake' or 'Twisted' point of view.

It needs to be 'Real' and it needs to be the 'Truth'. 

The Only way to Do that is for You to have a 'One on One' Personal Relationship with Jesus Himself.

~ The second thing is that after Jesus had said,
“Peace I Leave With You, My Peace I Give to You”,
He then followed it with,
“Not as the world gives do I Give to You.
Let not Your Heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”. 
(John 14:27). 

The Peace that Jesus Gives to us is on a 'Totally Different Level' to the 'worlds' version of peace.

The 'world' Teaches that if you get everything you want, then you'll have peace.
It Teaches that if there's No problems and everything is going well for you, then you'll have peace.

But that's Lies.

There are Many people in the 'world' that have got Everything they want 
(and More), yet they have 'Not' got Peace.

There are Many people who things just seem to go well for them, without any problems, but there's 'No' Peace in their Lives.

That's because 'Real Peace' is Not based on Circumstances or Possessions.

The Real Peace that Jesus Gives is a Peace that is 'Deep Within You'. 

It's a Peace that even in difficult situations, You know You can Trust in the Words that Jesus said, 
“Let not Your Heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”. 

You can Experience 'Real Peace' because You know that 

'Jesus is With You Always', 
and Jesus is 
'The Prince of Peace'. 

The Bible says in (Ephesians 2:14),
'For He Himself is our Peace'.

So the way to 'Be a Channel of Jesus's Peace', and to Help others to Receive His Wonderful Gift of Peace, is that 'You' need to have Received it 'Yourself'.

You can't 'Truly' Lead others to something that You haven't 'Truly' Experienced Yourself.

So if You would like to 'Be a Channel of Jesus's Peace', then Get Rid of the 'worlds way' of Living, out of Your Life, and Replace it with Jesus's Way.

~ Remove 'doubt', and Replace it with True Belief in Jesus.
~ Remove 'worldly wants', and Replace it with Godly Gratitude.
~ Remove 'doom & gloom', and Replace it with the 'Joy of Jesus'. 
~ Remove 'self seeking selfishness', and Replace it with Serving the Lord.
~ Remove Focusing on 'problems & troubles', and Replace it with Focusing on the Only Person who can Guide You with 'True Solutions', ~ Jesus.

Then, 'Go into All the world, and Be a Channel of Jesus's Peace'. 

~    ~    ~

There's a Lovely Hymn called 'Make me a Channel of Your Peace'. 

My Wife & I chose it as one of the Songs at our Wedding, and we also chose it for one of the Songs at the Service we had for our Baptism.

We chose this Song because the Words are a 
'Truly Wonderful Way' to 'Live Our Lives'.

Here are the words to the Hymn.
(I've also included a Link below to a YouTube video of it being Sung).
(The words on the video are Sung in a slightly different order, but still the Same Words). 

May it be a True Blessing to You.

~ ~ ~

Make me a Channel of Your Peace.

~   ~   ~

Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring Your love;
Where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord;
And where there’s doubt, true faith in You:

O Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope;
Where there is darkness, only light;
And where there’s sadness, ever joy:

O Master, grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved, as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of Your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
In giving of ourselves that we receive,
And in dying that we’re born to Eternal Life.

~   ~   ~

Go into All the world,
and Be a Channel of Jesus's Peace.

Here is the Link to the YouTube video of the Song.

Why Do They Do It. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ Why Do They Do It. ~
There's something that Many people Do on a Regular basis, yet the Vast Majority of people don't even know 'Why' they Do it.

If they were asked 'Why', they would probably give a Snap Reaction answer without actually Thinking about it.

So, what is this Thing that has 'Taken Over' Many peoples own Intelligence to the point that they Do something without knowing 'Why' they Do it ?

Here it is:

~ Why Do people Cut their Grass ?

Most peoples Snap Reaction answer would be 'Because it Needs cutting'. 

But that doesn't actually answer the question properly.

Because 'Why does Grass 'Need' cutting ? 

The Truth is, it Doesn't.

Grass is the 'Only' Plant out of All of God's Creations that people 'Cut' on a Regular basis and is Never Allowed to Grow into it's Full Potential that God Created it to Be.

Pause and Think about that for a moment. 

~   ~   ~

The Truth is, God did 'Not' Create Grass to only ever Grow to about an inch tall, and 'Every' stem of Grass to all be the 'Same' height.

God is a Lot more 'Creative' than that.

 When Grass is Allowed to Grow into what God Created it to Be, it is Very Beautiful & Interesting.
A Lot more Interesting than a Bald, Flat, Empty green Space.

~ So, Why Do people Cut their Grass ?

There are quite a few reasons Why.

 ~ The most obvious is because a Lot of people have the Attitude of 
'That's what you do'.
They see 'Other People' Do it, so they Do it.

Many years ago my Wife & I noticed that Every time we hear someone cutting their Grass, not long after someone else will cut their Grass. Then shortly after that someone else will cut theirs, and it goes on and on.
It happens Regularly. People just 'Copy' each other.

Most people would Not have even thought about cutting their Grass, but just because they hear or see someone else doing it, they Suddenly think that 'Their' Grass needs cutting.

~ Another reason 'Why' people cut their Grass is because they have been told 'Lies' about Grass Cutting.

There are Many Adverts, TV programs etc that tell people it's Good for the Health of the Grass to cut it.

That's Not True.
It's obviously Not Good for the Health of Anything to Never be Allowed to 'Grow' into what God Created it to Be.

So Why do people say that ? 

Well think about 'Who' are the people that say it.
Most of them are Connected in some way to Businesses that 'Sell' products for Cutting Grass such as Lawn Mowers etc. Or they promote the So Called 'Grass Care' products like Grass Feed, which is only actually needed because the Grass is Always being cut and Never has the opportunity to establish its Own Natural System of 'Grass Health' that God Created it to have.

Grass has been around a Long time before Lawn Mowers were invented, so God knew how to Created Grass to be able to 'Be Healthy' without people cutting it.

Many people say it's Good to cut Grass just so they can Sell there Products.

Another Lie that Tricks people into cutting their Grass is that people say you have to keep Grass short to prevent Ticks.

Well the Truth is Ticks can live in all lengths of Grass, as well as other Plants.

You can also get Ticks from dogs, but people don't 'Cut' the fur off their dogs just incase they get Ticks.

~ One of the Main reasons 'Why' people cut their Grass is because they say it looks Untidy if you let it Grow.

But that's just a Society based saying and it's Not True.

The Truth is, when Grass is Allowed to Grow into God's Creation, it will become a 'Mini Meadow'. 
And most people would agree that Meadows are Very Beautiful.

When Grass is Allowed to Grow, the Grass itself is Very Beautiful with Delicate & Fluffy features.
Most people look at a patch of Grass and all they See is Green Grass.
But when You 'Look Intently', You will See Individual Grasses that Glisten in the Sunlight, and Lot's of Variety of Shapes, Sizes, and Different Shades of Green that all Create a 'Beautiful Tapestry of Living Creations'. 

And when Grass is Allowed to Grow, it Creates an environment where many varieties of Wonderful & Beautiful 'Wild Flowers' Grow Together, which in effect is what a 'Meadow' is.

It's Very 'Awe Inspiring' to see the Wonders of God's Amazing 'Creativity' as they Grow.
And You can Enjoy it in Your Own Garden.

~ Some people say they cut their Grass because they want the Space for a 'Play Area' or an 'Entertaining Area' etc.

In that situation it might be Better if they had something like 'Astro Turf' or the 'Rubber Flooring' that's specifically designed for that type of thing.     

It would save the people the 'Hassle' of needing to keep cutting their Grass, and it would be a Lot Better for Nature.
Because Every time someone cuts their Grass, the Blades on the Lawn Mower Kills Thousands of Harmless Insects.
The Insects obviously don't know the Grass is going to be cut, so they Create their 'Homes' and start to Live their Lives. But then a Gigantic Spinning thing appears over their 'Homes' and Destroys them.
If Astro Turf or Rubber Flooring was there instead, then the Insects would Not make their 'Homes' in it, and they would find somewhere Safe to 
'Set Up Their Homes'. 

These are just a few of the reasons 'Why' people Cut their Grass.

But Non of them answer the Bigger Question of 'Why did people Start cutting Grass in the first place' ?

God 'Did Not' intend Grass to be Cut on a regular basis to about an inch tall, and Never Allowed to Grow into it's Full Potential.

~ So 'Where did it all go Wrong' ? 

Well it's got a Lot to do with the word 'Lawn'. 

God 'Did Not' Create the 'Lawn', people did.

It's believed that the 'Lawn' first appeared around the 1500's, but nobody knows for certain when it was.

Before that, Grass just Grew how God Created it to Grow.

When people started Grazing their Animals (such as Sheep, Goats etc) on 'Common Ground' in Towns & Villages, the Grass obviously became Short because the Animals where Eating it as 'Food', which is one of the Main Reasons what God Created Grass for.

It's believed that around the 1500's, some Wealthy Business people wanted to Replicate the Short Grass within the Private Grounds of their Manor Houses and Castles.

Back then there no such thing as a 'Lawn Mower', so Cutting the Grass was a Very Labour Intensive thing to do, and therefore only the Very Wealthy could afford to have a 'Lawn'. 

Everybody Else 'Enjoyed' Living their Lives 'Without' a Lawn.

Over the years people also started to want Short Grass for 'Sports Games' such as Bowling, Cricket etc, and so 'Devices' started to be made for Cutting Grass.

But Everybody Else was still 'Happy' to Not have a 'Lawn'. 

In 1830 a 'Mechanical Lawn Mower' was invented that was a Simple Push Mechanism. There was No Engines or Motors used to cut the Grass.

These were still Expensive and most people either couldn't afford one, or they simply were 'Not Bothered' about having 'Short Grass'. They had far Better Things to Do with their Time than Cutting Grass.

Over time more and more 'Lawns' started appearing in peoples Gardens Replacing the Space that was once Thriving with 'Home Grown Food' and Beneficial areas for Nature to Live in Harmony with People.

The once Beautiful & Interesting Gardens were Replaced by Bald, Flat, Empty Green Spaces, called a 'Lawn'. 

It was only from the early to mid 1900's that 'Lawns' started to become a more Regular feature in people Gardens.

So the 'Lawn' is a Very Recent addition to peoples Gardens.

Yet Many people are now 'Obsessed' by them.

Some people can't bear it if the Grass 'Grows' more than about an inch tall. 
And some people 'Get Angry' if a Plant starts to 'Grow' in the 'Lawn'. 

Many people have become 'Addicted' to Cutting their Grass.

But it's a Very 'Unhealthy' Mindset.

Any form of 'Addiction' is Bad for Your Mind and Bad for Your Health.

One of the reasons 'Why' people cut their Grass is because they want to be 'In Control'. 

Grass and other Plants and Trees are an 'Easy Target' for people who want to 'Control' things. And many people Very Wrongly take out their 'Controlling Attitudes' on Nature.

But it's a Very Unhealthy way to Live.

God Created People to 'Be Part of Nature',
and to Live in 'Peace & Harmony' with Nature.

When You change Your 'Mindset' about Grass, and You view it as 'One of God's Beautiful Creations', then You will 'Enjoy' the Pleasures of watching it Grow, and the Excitement of Seeing God's Creativity 'Flourishing' right in front of Your Eyes.

 It's believed that there are over 11,000 known Varieties of Grass.

They include Grass used for 'Food' such as Wheat, Barley etc. 
Grass used for Animals 'Food' such as Hay, as well as all the Wild Grass on the Mountains and Fields that Wild Animals Eat. 
And the Ornamental Grasses such as Pampas Grass  and many varieties of Bamboo etc. 
As well as Many more.

The average 'Lawn' is made from a Mixture of around 12 varieties of Grass that people have Selected to make the 'Lawn'. 

When 'Lawn' Grass is Allowed to Grow, it can Grow anywhere between 6 inches and about 2 foot tall, depending on what varieties are in it.

And when Grass is left to 'Grow' properly how God Intended, it Creates the Beautiful 'Meadow' with Wonderful Flowers that are Very Interesting.

The longer 'Time' You Allow Your Grass to Grow, the more 'Interesting' it will become, as it Creates it's own Mini 'Eco System' where all the Grasses and Flowers Live in 'Harmonious Beauty'.

And it will Provide a 'Home' and an 'Adventure Area' for Many Wonderful and Interesting Insects to Enjoy Living their own Lives in Peace.

There are Many Benefits to Not cutting Your Grass. 
Here are just a few of them:

~ It will save You a Lot of money.
	Many people don't realise just how much they spend on their 'Lawn', but 		it All adds up, and it's money that could be spent on far Better things than 	cutting Grass.

  ~ It's obviously Very Good for Nature.
	Butterflies, Bees, and other Harmless Insects will 'Thank You' for not 			destroying their 'Home' and their 'Food source'. 

~ It's Good for 'Other People'.
	The Noise of Lawn Mowers adds to the 'Overly Noise Polluted' world 	we Live in, and it's well known that 'Noise Pollution' is a Major cause 	of Stress and Health Issues. Simple Changes make a Big Difference.

~ Wildlife will Thrive along with People.
	Nature & People will be able to Live Together in 'Peace & Harmony', 	how God Intended.

And there's Many, More Wonderful Benefits to Not cutting Your Grass.

So when someone says to You, “The Grass needs cutting”. 
Or if You think to Yourself 'It needs cutting'. 

Just 'Pause' for a moment, and think to Yourself,

“Does Grass actually 'Need' cutting”? 

To Help You to 'Know the Truth', Imagine God 'With You', and Imagine asking Him the question:
“Does Grass 'Need' cutting” ?

     Would God say to You,
“O Yes, the Grass Needs cutting”.

     Or would God say to You,

“Let it Grow, and I'll Show You things You do not Know,
I'll Show You the True Beauty
and Awe Inspiring Wonders of My Creativity”. 

The Only way to find out is to Ask Him. 
He will tell You the Truth.

There’s More to Life. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ There's More to Life.  ~
The recent 'Mission to the Moon' with Artemis 2 reminded me of something I thought Many years ago, and it's still the 'Same' now.

There are some people who 'Do' Truly Amazing things with their Lives.

People have Travelled to the Moon, and even Walked on it in the 1960's and 70's. They Experienced a Unique View of the Moon and of Earth, and Enjoyed Floating in Space.

There are people who have Adventured to the Bottom of the Ocean and Explored the Underwater Beauty that God Created.

People have Climbed Huge Mountains and Experienced Amazing Views.

And there are Many, Many more Amazing & Adventurous things that People have 'Done' with their Lives.

But then I look out the window and see people Doing the 'Same Boring' worldly things that they've been Doing 'Every Day' for Years.

They stand at their front doors 'Gossiping' to the neighbours.
They take their dogs for a walk at the 'Same' time Every Day so they can meet up with other people Doing the 'Same' thing , and stand around Gossiping.
People walked up and down the roads with their heads down Staring at their phones, and Missing the Natural Beauty that God Creates Every Day like Beautiful Sunrises & Sunsets.

Then there are people who Rush back from work so they can sit in front of the TV All Night watching the 'Same' Boring TV Soaps and other worldly 'Nonsense' programs. 
Other people Waste their Lives away sitting in Pubs or Coffee Shops, and they Hide behind the 'worldly' Excuse that they're 'Socialising'.

Many people 'Waste' Hours, Days, Weeks, Months and even Years of their Lives scrolling through 'Mindless Junk' on social media, and then Waste even more of their Lives by Adding their own 'Mindless Junk' for other people to Waste their Lives scrolling through.

Then there are people who Believe all the Stupid 'worldly Sayings' that Trick people with False Teaching, such as 'childhood is the best time of your life'. So then 'Grown Adults' 'Waste' their Lives away Dwelling on 'Past' childhood memories. 

People all around the world go to sleep 'Every Day' with their 'Minds' Full of 'Corrupted worldly Junk'. 
And then they get up the next day and 'Do' Exactly the 'Same' Boring worldly things.

But 'Non' of those things are what God Created People to 'Do'. 

There Truly is 'More to Life'. 

God Created People to Enjoy Life.
He Designed Humans to Be Adventurous, and to Try New Things.

* Just to be Very Clear, I 'Don't mean the 'worlds version' of that, such as getting drunk, partying all night, taking drugs, or any other 'Stupid' worldly stuff.

I mean the 'True Meaning' of Enjoying Life.

Jesus Himself said,
“I came that they may Have and Enjoy Life, and have it in Abundance
(to the Full, till it Overflows)”.   (John 10:10). 

The True Adventures of Life can Only come from God & Jesus.

They Created 'Life on Earth', so Only They know the 'True Way' to Enjoy It.

You don't need to be an Astronaut or Deep Sea Diver to Enjoy the Adventures of Life.

God has Created 'Something for Everyone'. 

Many people think they can't Enjoy Adventures because of Physical Problems such as Disabilities etc. But that Not True.

My Dad had a Stroke over 30 years ago and his Left side is Paralysed.
He's also had Heart Attacks, Back Operations, Cancer and Many other illnesses.
But over the years he has 'Done' some 'Truly Inspiring' and Adventurous things, such as Water Skiing, Rock Climbing, Sailing and Many more.

My Wife & I used to be volunteers at a Blind & Visually Impaired Centre, and we saw people 'Do' some Truly Amazing things.
There was people who were Totally Blind, yet they Didn't let that stop them from Enjoying the 'Adventures of Life'.

People who couldn't 'See' Anything at all were 'Driving' around Race Circuits at High Speed. They were Abseiling down Big Cliff faces. Building Rafts and then Sailing them across the Lake.
And Many more Inspiring Adventures.

Some people think they can't Enjoy 'New Adventures' because of their Age.
But that's Not True.

There was a Wonderful Lady called Phyllis who was in her 80's and was Partially Sighted. She Always Enjoyed herself at the Blind Centre. 
At one of the outdoor events that we were at she was given a Ride on the back of a Harley-Davidson Trike (3 wheel motorbike) around a disused Airfield. When she got back she had a 'Huge Smile' on her face.

Never let 'Anything' get in the way of 
'Enjoying the Life' that God has Blessed You with.

Think about the Amazing Accomplishments that Nasa Achieved to enable People to 'Walk on the Moon'. 

Before 1903, no Human Being had Ever Flown even a few Feet off the Earth.
Yet within only 66 years, they had worked out how to Fly People out of the Earths Atmosphere, Land on the Moon without crashing, and then Fly Safely back to Earth, all with Precise Timing and Accurate Landing sites.

God Truly has Created the Human Brain with 'Immense Intelligence'.  

Yet Many people 'Waste' their Intelligence on 'Meaningless' worldly Junk.
And Many people don't even use their Intelligence at all, they just 'Copy' what other people 'Do', and they 'Miss Out' on the 'True Joys of Life'.

~ But God Created ' You' to Enjoy Your Life ~

Not Doing the 'Same' Boring worldly Junk Every Day.

But Enjoying 'New Adventures', Discovering and Experiencing Life how God Created it to Be.

And there's Only One Way You can Do that.
With the Almighty Creator Himself.

God has got Wonderful Adventures 'Ready & Waiting' for You.

If You would like to Find Out what they are, then Don't ask 'Other People', because they will probably get it Wrong.

Spend 'Quality Quiet Time' with God & Jesus. Ask them to Guide You with what Adventures they've got Planned for ' You'. 

Then Get Ready, Get Set, 'Go',
and Enjoy the Wonderful Adventures of Life,
'With God'.   

'There Truly is More to Life'.

Make Each Day Count. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ Make Each Day Count.  ~
There's a Very Inspiring sentence from the 1997 Titanic film, when the character of Jack Dawson said,

“Life's a Gift, and I Don't intend on Wasting it,
You never know what hand you're going to get dealt next,
You Learn to take Life as it comes at you,
To Make Each Day Count”.  

What a Great Attitude to Live by.

When You understand that Life is a 'Gift from God', and that Every Day is a New & Wonderful 'Gift' from God, then You Learn to 'Appreciate' Life a Lot More.

You Learn that Life is Precious, and You Don't want to Waste it.

Nobody knows what's going to happen next.
The next day, the next week, the next year. 
It could be something Good, it could be something not so good.

So Make the Most of 'Your Life', no matter what Your situation is. 

The character of Jack in the Titanic film was 'Poor & Homeless'. He had,
“nothing but the air in his lungs and a few sheets of paper to draw on”. 

He went from place to place never knowing where he was going to end up next. 
But then 'His Life Changed' and he was on the 'Finest Ship in the World'. 

He Didn't let his 'Social Status' and 'Other Peoples Opinions' of him,
stop him from 'Making Each Day Count'. 

And his Life had 'Meaning' when he Helped someone else to 'Make Each Day Count' by Helping the character of Rose to be 'Saved' from 'Being Trapped' by the 'worldly ways' and 'Society Based Customs' of that time.

 On the very same ship as Jack was some of the richest men in the world.
They had 'Everything' they wanted.

Yet as the ship sank, their money, wealth and possessions meant Absolutely 'Nothing'.   

Don't put 'Value & Importance' in things that can Sink.

That includes 'Your Thoughts' as well as 'Material Things'. 

Live 'Your Life' and Enjoy Each Day.
Not in the past.
Not in the future.
But as it's Happening, 'Enjoying Each Moment'.

Don't waste Your time on 'Meaningless Things'. 
Don't Dwell in the Past, including Things that people have said or done.
Don't waste Your Life worrying about Things that might Never happen.
And most Importantly 'Get Rid' of 'Anything' that Interferes with Your Relationship with Jesus.

'Nothing' is more Important than a 'Close Relationship With Jesus'. 

You never know what Blessings God has got Planned for you Next.
And if you're wasting Your Time, Your Thoughts and Your Energy on Meaningless Things, then you will 'Miss' God's Blessings for You.

 Don't 'Miss Out' on God's Precious 'Gift of Life'.

The character of Rose in the 'Alternative Ending' of the 
Titanic film said it Beautifully:

"You Look for Treasure in the Wrong place,
Only Life is Priceless, and
Making Each Day Count".

The True Meaning of Following Jesus. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ The True Meaning of Following Jesus.  ~
Jesus said Many, Many times, “Follow Me”. 

So it's obviously Very Important.

But what does it actually mean ?

In this Digital Age, the word 'Follow' has been Misused and many people don't really know what it's True Meaning is.

Many people believe that to 'Follow' someone means 'Clicking a Button' on the internet,

There are Millions of people who think they're 'Following' someone by spending Hours scrolling through social media Gossip on FaceApp and WhatsAgram.

Social media and many youtube and internet websites use 'Manipulative Tactics' to get people to Click the 'Follow Button', so that they can then Brag about how many 'So Called' Followers they've got.

But the Truth is, Many people Click the 'Follow Button' and Never go back on it.
It Creates 'Fake Followers'. 

Then there are the people who think they're Following someone by Clicking on Many Different peoples 'Follow Button' and they So Called 'Follow' Multiple people all at the Same Time.

But None of these are the 'True Meaning of Following'. 

And it's Definitely Not what Jesus meant when he said, “Follow Me”. 

~ So What is the True Meaning of 'Following Jesus' ?

Well first of all, it's the most Wonderful, Exciting and Joyful Way of Living Your Life.

And it's the most Natural thing that God Created You to Do.

Your Soul has a Inbuilt Desire & Craving to 'Follow Jesus'. 

But the devil uses Trickery to Deceive You into thinking Your Soul is Desiring & Craving something else.

That's why Many people become Confused about 'How to Live Their Life', and 'Who they Are'. 

People get Misled into Following the 'worlds way', and they Believe that's what they're Supposed to Do.

But God Created You to Follow 'The Way'.

'Jesus is The Way, the Truth and the Life'. (John 14:6). 

So 'Following Jesus' is Your Natural Inbuilt 'Way' to Live.

~ But What does it Mean to 'Follow Jesus' ?

A good way to understand it is to be an 'Apprentice of Jesus'. 

In the workplace there are different ways to Learn the Skills needed for a job.

Some people spend many years in college and university Training in the Skills they need before they Start the job.
Whereas an Apprentice Trains & Learns the Skills needed whilst Doing the job.

When You 'Follow Jesus', You don't need to spend years Training & Learning before You Start 'Following Him'. 

You Simply 'Learn as You Go'.

'Following Jesus' means Living Your Life on a 'Journey With Him'.
And Every Step You take 'With Jesus',
You Learn something New & Exciting about God's Way to Live.

It Truly is 'The Greatest Journey of Your Life'.

A Very Important part of 'Following Jesus' means to, 
'Love the Lord Your God with All Your Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength'. 
(Mark 12:30). 

God's Word makes it clear in (Revelation 3:15-16) that God does Not like 
'Half Hearted' Followers.
You need to Love God with Your 'Whole Heart'. 

Your 'Soul' is the very Essence of 'Who You Are'. 
Following Jesus means 'Loving God' with Your Inner Most Being.

God has given You 'Freedom of Choice', and He Blessed You with an intelligent 'Mind' to make the Right Choices.
You can Love God with All Your 'Mind' by letting Your 'Mind' Reflect God's Wonderful Character and His Amazing Creativity. And Give God All the Glory.

And when You Truly 'Follow Jesus' and Love God with All Your Strength, You will Discover a Powerful Inner 'Strength' that You know is Not Your own.
It can Only come from God.

Following Jesus has Many Wonderful Blessings.

Jesus will Fill You with 'His Joy'. 
The 'Joy of Jesus' is literally 'Indescribable'.  I'm not even going to attempt to put it into words, because there are no words good enough.

Jesus will Fill You with 'His Peace'. 
And You'll Experience the Peace of God which Goes Beyond All Understanding.

  And Jesus will Fill You with a 'Freedom' that You have Never known before.

He 'Forgives' All Your mistakes & wrong doings.
He Removes any guilt or shame, and He Replaces it with His 'Pure Love'. 

Following Jesus is Not just a 'Part Time' thing You Do whenever You feel like it.
Jesus needs You to be 'Whole Heartedly Committed'. 

It's literally a 'Way of Life'. 
And it needs to be 'Only One Way' ~ God's Way.

It's Not the same as social media where people can So Called 'Follow' Lots of people all at the same time.

To 'Follow Jesus' You need to 'Stop' Following the 'worlds way', and 'Stop' Following 'People'.  

And that's Not just on social media. It's in Every Area of Your Life.

You can't Travel in 'Different Directions' at the same time.
You can't Follow 'Different Ways' at the same time.

And the 'worlds way' is in the Opposite Direction' to the Wonderful Life that God has got Planned for You.

The world 'Leads' You to the devil.

Jesus 'Leads' You to God.

The worlds way and God's Way Do Not mix.
So it's Not worth trying to mix them because You will just get Very Confused.

Jesus made it Very Clear that to 'Follow Him' means 'Stopping' whatever it is You are Doing or Being that did Not come from God.

Following Jesus means 'Changing Your Direction'. 

 There are two 'Very Important' reasons why 'Following Jesus' needs to be 'Only One Way' ~ God's Way.

The first is because there is a 'Battle' going on between the devil and God.

God needs 'Reliable People' who are Not going to keep 'Changing Sides'.

He needs People who He can 'Trust' to Do whatever He Guides them to Do, even when they don't Understand Why.
Because God 'Sees' the 'Bigger Picture' that we don't 'See'. 

The second reason is because God has a 'MasterPlan' for 'Life on Earth'. 

And 'Your Life' is Part of God's Plan.

He Created You with a Wonderful Purpose.

You are God's Hands on Earth to Look After & Take Care of His Creations.
You are His Eyes, Ears, & Mouth for Him to Love through.
Your Heart, Mind & Soul are 'Made In His Image'. 
You are God's Creation.

You have a 'Unique Purpose' that You will Only Discover when You 'Choose' 'Only One Way' to Live Your Life ~ God's Way.

The devil will try to 'Lead You Away' from God's Way, because he doesn't want You to Fulfil God's Plan for Your Life.
And he uses Deceitful Trickery to do it.
The devil 'Hides in Disguise', and he uses 'people' to 'Lead You Astray'. 
That's why it's so Important Not to 'Follow' people, because You can never be 100% Certain that it's Not the devil in Disguise.

There's 'Only One Way' to know with 100% Certainty that it's
God's Way that You are 'Following'.
And that is to Only 'Follow' God's Son, Jesus Christ.

     Jesus Is God's Way. 

He's the 'Only One' who knows God's Plan for Your Life.

Jesus will Reveal 'Your Purpose' as You 'Journey With Him'. 
And You will Discover 'Who God Created You To Be'. 

Your Life is Not just about You. You are a Very Important Part of God's MasterPlan. And the 'Way' that You 'Choose' to Live Your Life 'Really Does' have an Impact on God's Plan, either in a negative or a Positive Way, depending on 'Who & What' You 'Choose' to Follow. 

God needs You to Be the 'Very Best' You can Be,
as the Person He Created You to Be.

'Following Jesus' needs to be taken 'Very Seriously', because it's got a Very Important Purpose.

God & Jesus take 'Their Part' Very Seriously.

They Always Give You 'Their Best'.

God doesn't Give You 'Half Hearted' Blessings.
They are Always 'Full & Overflowing' with His Wonderful Love for You.

Jesus Lived His Life on Earth as 'The Best He Could Be'. 

He gave the Perfect Example of 'How to Live Life'. 

And Jesus did something that No other person can Ever Do.
He Took the Punishment on the Cross, so that You can Live a Free & Happy Life, and so You can spend Eternity with Your Loving God.

Surely that's worth Showing Your Gratitude to God & Jesus by 
'Giving Your Absolute Best' to Fulfil 'Your Part' in God's MasterPlan.

When You 'Follow Jesus' with Your 'Whole Heart',
He will Show You 'The Way'. 

Jesus is saying to You, 
“Follow Me”.

Humble Donkeys. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ Humble Donkeys.  ~
Jesus travelled into Jerusalem a few days before He was going to be crucified

It was one of the most Important Journeys of His Life.

And Jesus 'Chose' Humble Donkeys to Carry Him.

The Bible clearly describes in (Matthew 21:2-3) that Jesus asked two of His Disciples to go into a village and they would find a Donkey with her Colt 
(a young Donkey). Jesus gave the Disciples Clear Guidance to untie the Donkeys and bring them to Him, and if anybody asked what they are doing, Jesus Guided them to say, 
“The Lord has Need of them”. 

The Donkey and her Colt waited Patiently until the 'Right Time' for their Important task.

Then they 'Did' Exactly what 'The Lord Needed them to Do'. They Carried Jesus into Jerusalem, for what is known as 'The Triumphal Entry'. 

Jesus 'Chose' the Donkeys, and they Didn't let Him down. 
They Fulfilled their 'Purpose'. 

What a Wonderful Honour that was for those Donkeys to be 'Chosen' by Jesus to 'Do' something for Him.

Jesus could have 'Chosen' a High Class Horse Drawn Carriage made from Gold, Silver and Expensive Jewels.

But He Didn't.

He 'Chose' Humble Donkeys.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem on the Donkeys, it was Fulfilling the Prophesy of (Zechariah 9:9) that was wrote about 500 years before it took place.

Which means that God had a 'Plan' for those Donkeys 'Many Years' before they were even Born.

And God has a 'Plan' for ' You'. 

“For I know the Plans I have for You, declares the Lord,
Plans to give you Peace, not disaster,
Plans to give you Hope and a Future”. 
(Jeremiah 29:11). 

Before You were even Born, God had a 'Plan' for 'Your Life'. 

WOW . . . That's Exciting.

And it's a Wonderful Plan.

God has an Amazing Overall 'MasterPlan' for All of His Creations.
He is at work 'Behind the Scenes' Planning, Arranging, and putting His 'MasterPlan' into Action.

'You' are Part of God's 'MasterPlan'. 

And just like how the Lord 'Needed' those Donkeys to 'Do Their Part' in God's MasterPlan, 

The Lord also 'Needs' You to 'Do Your Part' in His 'MasterPlan'.

So how do You know what God's Plan is for 'You' ?

And how do You know 'Your Purpose' ?

Well You can Learn from the Donkeys.
They Waited Patiently for the 'Right Time'. 
They were Led to Jesus by the Disciples.

But it was 'Only' when they Met Jesus 'Personally' that God's Plan for them was Revealed to them.

You will only Discover 'Your Purpose' and 'God's Plan' for 'Your Life'
when You have a 'Personal Relationship' with Jesus.

You might have been 'Waiting' Patiently.
You might even have been Led to Jesus by some of His 'True Followers'. 

But it's Only when You make a 'Personal Connection' to Jesus that God's Plan for ' You'  is Revealed to You.

And You Don't have to be in 'High Positions' to Connect With Jesus.

Always Remember, Jesus 'Chose' Humble Donkeys
to 'Do' something Very Important for Him.

And Jesus has also 'Chose' You for a Very Important 'Purpose'. 

That is to 'Fulfil God's Plan for You'.

What Causes People to Stray from God’s Way. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ What Causes People to Stray from God's Way.  ~
There are Only 2 'Ways' to Live Life.
God's Way or the devils way.
(The devils way is often referred to as 'the worlds way' and 'secular'). 
There is No 'In Between' Way. 

God's Way Fills You with Peace, Love, Joy, Freedom & Excitement.
God's Way gives You Real Purpose and Meaning to Your Life.

The devils way Fills You with Misery, Depression, Worry, Anxiety, & Stress.
The devils way is Pointless, it Traps You, and has No Meaning.

It was God who Created us all and Breathed His Life into us. So it's obvious that God's Way is how we're All Supposed to Live. It's what Life is all about.

God Loves His Creations (which includes You), and He has Given us Loving Guidance on How He Created us to Live. He's also Given us a Promise of Wonderful Blessings when we Live how God Created us to Live.

So then, 'What Causes People to Stray from God's Way' ?

The obvious answer is because there is 'sin' in the world caused by Adam & Eve Disobeying God and eating from the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil.

But it's Not that simple. 
Because God Gave Every 'Individual' Person 'Freedom of Choice'. 

Which means even though there is 'sin' in the world, it's still 'Your Choice' whether You Live 'Your Life' God's Way or the devils way.

Many people Do 'Choose' to Live God's Way.

But Many people also 'Choose' to Live the devils way.

So 'What Causes People to Stray from God's Way' ?

The Truth is, there are Many, Many reasons.

Here are a few of the reasons from my own Observations, and from what God has Guided me with through 'His Word' in the Bible, and from 'Direct' Communication with Jesus.

~ Some people Stray from God's Way because they are 'Taught' the 'Wrong Way' to Live from the Beginning of their Lives by 'So Called' family who Don't Follow God's Way themselves. 
I write 'So Called' because God's Way of a 'True Family' would Never Teach a Child the 'Wrong Way' to Live.

The world Tricks people from Childhood into Believing that they 'Have' to Honour & Obey what their 'family' Tells them to 'Do'. 
But that's 'Not True'. 
If a 'So Called' family member Teaches You to 'Do' Anything that goes Against God's Way, then God would Obviously 'Not' want You to 'Do' it.

The devil though is getting an 'Easy Ride', to be able to 'Trick' Children because Many of the people who Children 'Trust' such as school teachers and even Churches, 'Teach' Children from an Early Age that they 'Have' to 'Do' what their family 'Tells' them to 'Do'. 

But the Truth is, Children should 'Only' Honour & Obey when they're Taught God's Way.

~ Another reason why People Stray from God's Way is because they are 'Taught' Wrong Information from schools, colleges and universities.

The world makes it Seem that Education is Massively Important. 
The first part of peoples Lives are based around Education.

But the Truth is Education is Always Changing. 
Many of the things being 'Taught' Now are Different to what was 'Taught' when I was in Education. And what I was 'Taught' was Different to what my Parents were 'Taught' when they were in Education.

There is No 'Solid Foundation' in Education because the Majority of places do Not Teach God's Way.
Most of Education is based on 'Scientific Analogies', which are Always Changing when another Scientist says 'Their Way' is better than the Previous Scientist. 
Or it's based on a 'Persons Theories', which again Changes when a Different Person comes out with a Different Theory.

The devil is being Given another 'Easy Ride' through Education, because Many of the devils Followers can Easily Hide in the Disguise of 'Teachers', and they can then Easily 'Trick' People with Lies from a very Early Age.

~ Some People Stray from God's Way because they get involved with the 'Wrong' people. (This happened to me in my teens and early twenties before I started my Wonderful Journey with Jesus). 

The devil Leads People Astray through 'So Called' friends.

Again I write 'So Called' because No 'True Friend' would Ever try to get You to 'Do' something that's Wrong.

People make Friendships throughout All stages of Life. And because 'the world' makes it 'Seem' that Friends are so Important, then many People of All ages are often Willing to 'Go Against' God's Way, just so they can have 'friends'. 
Many people 'Do' things that they know they shouldn't 'Do' just so they can 'Fit In'. 

The devil uses 'So Called' friends to 'Lure' People Away from God.

Friendships in general is not a bad thing. If You find 'True Friends' who 'Truly Follow' God's Way (and Only God's Way), then that's fine. As long as You Don't put them before God and God's Way.
But if You haven't got those type of Friends, then it's Better to have No friends and be able to Enjoy a Wonderful Relationship with God & Jesus, than to have Lots of 'friends' who can 'Take You Away' from Your Creator God. 

  ~ Some People Stray from God's Way because of their Job.

This is for 2 reasons.
The first is that Many of the Jobs that People Do in the modern world are Not the type of thing that God would like People Doing.
If something is Wrong then it's Wrong, it Doesn't make it ok just because people get Paid to 'Do' it.
Some Jobs are actually Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually 'Pulling' People 'Away from God', without them even realising.

The other reason is that 'the world' makes it 'Seem' that Work is the Most Important thing in Life.

Almost everything in 'the worlds way' is Aimed at Work.
Schools Educate people to get a Job. College & Universities Train people for Work. Even the workplaces offer Extra Training all Aimed at making People Work More. Work pays money and 'the world' is Obsessed with money.

Many People's 'Whole Lives' are Literally Revolving around Work.

But the Truth is, God Didn't Create us to Live that Way.
Yes He doesn't want People being Lazy. But the Work that God refers to in the Bible is Work that 'Glorifies God' and where the Work itself brings You 'Closer to God'. 

~ One of the 'Big Causes' of People Straying from God's Way is because of 'the worlds' Obsession with 'social media'. 

The more People become 'Social', the more Distant they become from God.

Many people would now rather spend time on 'social media' than Spending time With God.

'Social media' is one of the devils Favourite Weapons.

He's got Many of 'his followers' Trained in how to 'Manipulate' People without them realising, by uses the 'Tactical Strategies' of 'social media'. 

'Social media' literally Gives 'Anybody' the Opportunity to 'Trick' Billions of People all around the world with 'Lies & Deception', and it's as Easy as 'Pressing a Button'. 

~ There are Many other things that Cause People to Stray from God's Way, such as TV, Radio, Internet, Advertisements, Books, Phones, Music, 
Worldly Sayings, Thoughtless Talking, and Many, Many more.

~ But the most Heart Breaking of all the reasons that Cause People to Stray from God's Way, is when People are 'Deceived' by 'the devils followers' 'Pretending' to be Believers of God & Jesus.

I've seen this happen Many, Many times over the past 20 years or so.

And the devil uses this 'evil Tactic' in All areas of Life, including the Home, Education, the Workplace, Social Activities, Luncheon Clubs, Hobby Groups, Youth Groups, and worst of all in many Churches & Ministries. 

The devil knows that People are 'Searching for the Truth'. 
So he's Obviously going to Position 'his followers' in the Places that 'Hurting People' will look to when 'Searching for the Truth'. 

And he's Obviously Not going to let People know who the 'Deceivers' are who are trying to Lead them 'Away from God'. 
The devil uses 'his followers' to 'Deceive & Manipulate' People in Ways that 'Seem' to be the 'Truth' because it's from 'So Called' Believers.

* Just to be Clear, there are Many, Many Wonderful 'True Believers' who would Never try to Take You Away from God. And I'm Truly Grateful to Every One of them for the Wonderful things they Do for God & Jesus. 

But unfortunately Many 'So Called' Believers are 'Misleading' People about how God Created them to 'Be', and how to Live their Lives.

I've seen Peoples Lives 'Ruined' because of what a 'So Called' Believer on a very well known TV Church Ministry 'Taught & Preached'. 

I've seen quite a few Churches that 'Used' to be 'Powerful Churches' for God's Wonderful Way, that have now  been 'Totally Corrupted' by people 'Pretending' to be Believers, and have 'Taken Over' the Churches and turned them into Just Another 'Fake' worldly Establishment.

I've even seen Many Vicars & Pastors who I've either known personally or known from a distance, who are Intelligent & Faithful people, yet they've been 'Corrupted' by the 'devils deceivers' Pretending to be Believers and 'Misleading' them with 'Lies & Manipulation'. 

They do it by using 'Partial Truths' that make it 'Seem' to be God's Way.

Those Vicars & Pastors who are Deceived then Unintentionally 'Preach' the Lies to other People, including worldwide Ministries. 
Which is one of the ways of how the devil is 'Destroying Many Churches'. 

I've spoken to people in their 70's & 80's who have spent their Entire Lives 'Confused' about how to Follow God's Way, because they've been 'Misled' by many people over the years who 'Pretend' to be Believers and have 'Taught' them Wrongly about God.

It's Not a new thing. It's been happening for a Long, Long time.

But God has 'Lovingly Guided' us All Many times in the Bible that people Will try to 'Deceive' You with 'False Teachings about the 'Truth'. 

God has 'Pre Warned' us about the devils 'evil Tactics'. 

God Knows Everything. And He has not just left us to fend for ourselves.
He wants to Help & Protect us All (that includes You). 
So He has Wrote it in 'His Word' that people Will try to 'Deceive' You, and they will be in the Disguise of Believes.

But Many people 'Ignore' God's Warnings.

And they 'Allow' themselves to be 'Led Astray'. 

People become 'Arrogant', and they let their 'Guard Down' to the devil.

But the Bible Guides us to 'Be On Guard', because the devil Prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

 The Bible also Guides us to:
Take up the 'Shield of Faith', so You can Extinguish All the flaming arrows of the evil one . . . and the 'Sword of the Spirit', which is the 'Word of God'. 

And that Does work when You Understand the 'True Meaning' of God's Word.

But the devil also knows what's wrote in God's Word, and he uses 'his followers' in the Disguise of Believers to 'Distort & Twist' God's Word to 'Mislead' people about the 'True Meaning' of God's Word.

The deceivers then use the 'Distorted' word to 'Trick' people about how God Created them to 'Be', and they get 'Led Astray' from God.

More and more people are 'Straying' Further and Further Away from God, whilst Believing that they're Following God's Way.

And that's Exactly what the devil wants.

These are just a few of  the reasons of What Causes People to Stray from God's Way. There are Many more.

But they are All based around Lies, Deception, Manipulation and the devils Trickery to get People to put their 'Trust' in People instead of God.

So, what's the Solution ?

How can You know what is the Truth, and what is Lies ?

The Solution is 'Not' found in Family, Friends, Education, Work, social media or any other worldly things. And unfortunately it can't be Reliably found in many Churches & Ministries.

There's 'Only One Way'. 

To 'Know' the Truth, You need to know the 'Truth'. 

Jesus is the 'Way', the 'Truth' and the 'Life'. 
(John 14:6)

 When You form a 'Personal' Relationship with Jesus, You will know 
the 'Truth', because He is the 'Truth'. 
He will show You God's Way, because He is the 'Way'. 
Jesus will Guide You how to Live 'Your Life', because He is the 'Life'. 

God says in (Jeremiah 32:38-39), 
“They shall be My people, and I will be their God,
then I will give them One Heart and One Way”. 

There Truly is 'Only One Way' ~ Jesus Christ.

But it needs to be a 
'Close Personal 'One on One' Direct Relationship with Jesus'. 

If You try to Connect With Jesus through other people, it won't work.
That would be like wanting to be Married to someone, but you communicate with them through other people. 
That would obviously not be a 'Personal' Relationship.

Jesus said, “I am With You Always” 
(Matthew 28:20). 

No matter how far You might have Strayed from God, if You are Truly Sorry, and are Sincerely Willing to Follow God's Way from 'Now On', then Jesus is Always Willing to 'Welcome' You back with Loving Arms.

Then You will be Living God's Word which says in (1 Peter 2:25),
“You were like sheep going Astray,
but have Now Returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of Your Souls”.

When You form a 
Close Personal 'One on One' Direct Relationship With Jesus,
You will know the Truth of How to Live Your Life in God's Way.

Because Jesus is
'the Way, the Truth and the Life'.

Being God’s Creation. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ Being God's Creation  ~
People can Learn at Lot of Inspiring & Helpful things from Trees if they simply take the time to Observe them from God's perspective of how God Created them to 'Be'. 

Many people have known for a Long time now that Trees Do Communicate with Each Other.

They're Not just pieces of wood like many ignorant worldly people assume.
They are Living, Breathing Beings that God Created.

Even Many worldly scientist now recognise through Detailed Studies that Trees Do Communicate with Each Other.

Its obviously not in the same way as how people communicate. They don't Verbally Speak to Each Other.
They Communicate by sending Signals through their Complex Root Systems, and by sending out Compounds (a type of Natural gas) that the Other Trees can detect in the Air. 

Depending on what type of Communication they are sending will determine what type of Compound they send or what type of Signal they send through their Roots.

Trees don't have Emotions in the Same way as what people do, but Trees Do have some form of Emotional State.

When Trees are in a Peaceful State they Release Compounds into the Air so that Other Trees know that 'All Is Good' and they are Peaceful. The other Trees Respond to this by also sending out similar Compounds.

Detailed Studies have shown for Many years now that this is a Big part of the reason why people find Forest a Very Peaceful Place to be. 
There is a 'Harmony' between the Trees that is given off into the Surrounding Air, and people can sense this as being 'Peaceful'.

Trees are sometimes Attacked by things like Aphids (tiny insects) that drink the sap of Leaves/Pine Needles and can cause a Lot of Damage, sometimes even Destruction of Trees.
Termites also can cause a Lot of Damage to Trees by Getting 'Inside' the Tree and Literally Destroying the Tree from the 'Inside'. 

When an Individual Tree realises that it's being Attacked, it sends out 'Warning' Signals through it's Roots and Compounds into the Air to 'Warn' Other Trees to 'Be On Guard' because there is a Threat. 

Trees literally Help Each Other in times of Trouble, and Rejoice with Each Other in time of Peace.

I'm fascinated by Trees because there is always something Amazing that I can Learn about how God Created Life to Be.

One of these Inspirations was Many years ago whilst walking around a Peaceful Forest. 

I noticed Tall Trees that were 'Well Established' and had probably been there for Hundreds of years.

Next to them were 'Younger Trees', and they were Happily Growing with the 'Well Established Trees'.         

There were Many 'Different Varieties' of Trees including Pines, Beech, Spruces, Larch, Yew Trees & many others, all Growing Happily & Peacefully Together.

Every Tree was Different in it's own Unique way, yet they were all Growing Together to Create a 'Beautiful and Peaceful' environment.

There was No arguments between the Trees about who's been there longer.
There was No jealousy between Trees wanting to 'Be Like' other Trees.
The Trees were Not fighting over who's got the 'Best Position' in the forest. There was No stealing each others Nutrients from the soil.
Trees certainly Don't do 'Childish' name calling.
And there was No lies & manipulation by any of the Trees.

All the Trees were living in 'Harmony' with Each Other. 

Just How God Created them to 'Be'.

Every Individual Tree was simply 'Being' what God Created it to 'Be'. 

And because of that, the Forest became a Beautiful, Peaceful and Very Inspiring 'Place to Be'. 

People Truly can 'Learn' a Lot from Trees.

The Trees were living Happily and Peacefully Together, in Harmony.

And that's how God Created 'People' to Live. 

If we all just 'Be' who God Created us to 'Be', then we can all Live in Peace and Harmony with Each Other. 

God Created us All to 'Be' in the 'Image of God'.

There's no Greater Harmony than that.

When we put our Faith in God (and Only God) we can all be like a Beautiful Forest, Growing Happily & Peacefully Together.         

'With God' we Can Create a Peaceful & Inspiring Place to Live where we All 
Live in Harmony.

But it Needs to be 'With God', in 'God's Way', because God Created Life. 

Many people are being Misled about 'How To Life Their Life'. 

'Worldly people' are Manipulating people with Lies & Deception to take them 'Away' from Their Own Creator God.

And what makes things worse is that Many of the 'devils' followers are now Pretending to Be Believers on Many of the TV and Youtube Ministries.
They are Tricking people with False Ways to 'Worship' God, that have Not come from God or Jesus. It's just Made Up by 'worldly people' to Trick Believers  into 'Looking and Being' More Like worldly people'. 

The devil is also using 'So Called' families to Trick people with things like Genealogy, Family Name, Stupid sayings like 'blood is thicker than water', and Many other Deceptive Lies to Trick people into Believing they Have to 'Do' certain things and 'Be' a certain Way (because their 'family said so). 
But if it goes Against the Truth and Will of God, then it's Wrong. 

You 'DO NOT' have to 'Be' Who they Tell You to 'Be'.

God has Given You 'Freedom of Choice'.

If people have called You 'Childish & Nasty Names',
then You are NOT Who 'They' Say You Are. 

The Truth is You are Made in the 'Image of God'.

And God is the most Wonderful, Unique, Creative, Individual,
Loving, Kind & Caring being that has ever Existed.

You are Made in that Image.
That's 'Who You Are'.

When we all Simply Live our Lives How God Created us to Live,
and we All Simply 'Be' Who God Created us to 'Be',
then there Will be a Wonderful 'Peace & Harmony' on Earth.

The Bible makes it Clear that it 'Will' Happen at some point.

Be Part of it by 'Being' God's Creation.

Just Be You. 

~ Inspiring ~
~ Encouraging ~
~ Loving ~
~ Just Be You  ~
God Created Every human being to be Unique & Individual. 

Even identical twins are slightly different from each other.   

If God wanted us all to be the same, He would have Created us to be robots. 
But He Didn't.

He made us All Unique.

When God Created You, He gave 'You' Your Own Individual Voice, Your Own Appearance, and Your Own Unique Character.

If You Copy how 'Other People' Speak, Look and Act, then You will lose 
'Your Own' sense of Identity.

Before I Started Living my Life on this Wonderful 'Journey with Jesus', I 
'Very Wrongly' used to 'Copy' other peoples Behaviours & Lifestyles.

When I was with certain people, I would Act like them, and then when I was with someone else, I would Act like them instead.

I 'Wrongly' Changed 'Who I Was Being' depending on Who I was with.

At that time, I genuinely Believed that's How we're all Supposed to Live. 

I had been Taught that 'Wrong Way of Living' by Wrong People, who at that time I Thought we're decent people, so I Believed them.

But I was 'Very Wrong' to Believe them.

It was Lies & Manipulation. 

It was 'the devils' Trickery to try to prevent me from 'Being Who God Created me to Be'.  And it led me into making many Mistakes in my Life.

The Truth is, God Created me to 'Be the Same Person' no matter who I'm with. 

And God Created ' You' to 'Be the Same Person' no matter who You are with.
Just Be You.

 I'm 'Very Grateful' that God Guided me Many years ago to 'Get Rid' of Wrong people 'Out of my Life', and to 'Stop Copying' other people.

I Humbly Admitted that I was Totally Wrong for 'Copying' other people.

That Humble Attitude of 'Admitting' my Wrong Doing and 'Stopping' Doing it, gave me True Freedom and Peace in my Life.

I Learned that Stubbornness 'Traps' You, but Humility 'Sets You Free'.      

So Be True to Who God Created ' You' to Be ~ You.

God did Not make a 'Copy' of someone else when He Created You.
He Created You as You.
So be Respectful to God, and Don't 'Copy' someone else with how ' You' Live Your Life.

God Created You as a Very Special and Unique Person.
Be That Person.

The Only True Way to Know 'Who God Created You to Be', is to have a Direct Personal 'One on One' Relationship with Jesus. He Will Guide You.

'Worldly people' will try to get You to 'Copy' them, or to 'Copy' others.
Please 'Be Aware' and take it Seriously that Many of the 'devils followers' are now Hiding in the Disguise of Believers, and they will try to 'Trick' You with 'Partial' Truths mixed with Lies so You'll 'Copy' their Wrong ways of Living.

The following sentence came to me in a Very Powerful Way,
and I Truly Believe it is 'God's Loving Guidance' to You.

“Don't 'Copy' Anyone,  
because You might be Unknowingly 'Copying'
one of the devils followers”.  

Simply Be Who God Created You to Be,
And You'll Be Happy & Free.

God Is Trustworthy.

~ God Is Trustworthy  ~
God is the Most Trustworthy being that has Ever existed.

  You are in 'Good & Safe' Hands when you put Your 'Trust' in God.

   Everything that God has Ever said that He will 'Do', He has either already 'Done It' or He is in the process of 'Doing It'.

   God said “Let There Be Light”, and 'He Did It', there was Light, (Genesis 1:3). 
And the Light is Still Present. 

 If God says He will 'Do' Something for You, You can Be Sure He Will 'Do It'.

   When Jesus came to Live on earth, He Lived as a True Representation of God's Trustworthiness. 
Everything that Jesus said He would 'Do', He 'Did It'.
   The Bible gives Lots a Good examples of this. 

   The Most Important and Amazing Truth that Jesus said He will 'Do' was to 'Rise Again' after three days.
  When He was crucified on the Cross, many people Questioned His Trustworthiness and thought He was just another fake.

   But Jesus was 'True to His Word' ~ 'He Rose Again'.

   Nothing will Ever stop God from Being Trustworthy ~ 'Nothing'.

Don't make the Mistake of Comparing 'God' with 'people'.

Yes there are Many 'people' who are Not Trustworthy, 
but God Is 'Not' those 'people'.

God is God. 

You can Trust God with Everything.
