Pure Positive Guidance ~ No.92. (Mobile Version).
God Really Does Love You.

~ God Really Does Love You ~
One of the most well known Bible verses is (John 3:16) 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son'.
I've heard this said so many times that I have 'Very Wrongly' taken for granted the Huge Scale & Importance of God 'Giving' His Son to show us that He Loves us.
But while I was spending Quiet Time with God over Christmas time, I started thinking about just how much God Really Does Love us.
I looked for Bible verses that clearly say that God Loves us, and when I read (1 John 4:9) 'God showed how much he loves us by sending his one and only Son into the world', I suddenly realised what a Massive Task it was for God to actually 'Send' His Son.
It wasn't just a simple case of sending a box of chocolates through the post to tell someone you Love them, or sending a text with a love heart saying I Love You. This was the Biggest thing in the history of humankind.
Even though God's own Heart & Soul must have experienced Unimaginable Hurt & Pain when the Entire world had previously become evil in every way, and had turned their back on God, He still wanted to show us that He Loves us. WOW, that's Real Love.
When God decided to 'Send' His Son to show us that He Loves us, it required so much planning & organising that was so complex, that even the most advanced computer in the world would not be able to work it out.
Think about what God needed to Do just to actually 'Send' His Son,
~ First of all He needed to work out how to turn the Spirit form of Jesus into a Physical Human form, that is Entirely Human whilst still being Entirely the Son of God.
That in itself would have blown the circuit boards of Any computer trying to work it out.
~ Then He needed to find a Lady who Trusted God with Complete Faith & Belief , that she would be Willing to give birth to God's Son even though she didn't Understand How it could happen.
She also needed to be Pure with No evil in her whatsoever, so that there would not be any conflict between Good and evil while Jesus was in her womb.
~ God then had the Huge task of finding Many people from different Places, different Backgrounds and different Ages, who would All put their Complete Trust in God, and be Willing to Change their 'Own Plans' so that they could Fulfil 'God's Plan'.
~ God Needed to find a man who was so Humble & Faithful to God, that he would Accept that he would not be the actual Father of Jesus, because he knew He had a Greater Father in Heaven.
~ God needed to find Shepherds who would Believe there was a far Better Shepherd than themselves.
~And God needed to find some of the Wisest Men in the world who would Humble themselves to Seek the One who is Wiser.
These were just a few of the things that God needed to organise just for Jesus to actually be Born.
It's believed that the Nativity fulfilled over 350 Old Testament Prophesies. WOW, think about that. Things that had been Spoken about and Prophesied about Hundreds and maybe Thousands of years earlier, all took place when God 'Sent' His Son.
An examples is,
~ (Micah 5:2) “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me One who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.”
All of this was just the Beginning.
30 years later God needed to find more people who were Willing to put their Trust & Belief in Jesus, so that God's Plan would be Achieved.
~ He needed to find 12 men who would leave Everything to Follow Jesus.
~ He needed to find men & women who would Turn from their sinful ways and Follow Jesus' Way.
~ And Many More things that God needed to Do for His Plan to be Fulfilled, to be able to show His Love for us.
Then after Everything that God had done to 'Send' His Son, He then Humbled Himself by sacrificing His Only Son on the Cross, so that He would take the place of 'Our Sins' so that He could Restore the broken Relationship between people and God.
That is Real Love.
Go did All that (and More) simply because He would like to Enjoy a Loving Relationship with You.
So if you ever feel that God doesn't Love You, think about the Amazing Huge scale of things that God did simply to 'Send' His Son.
The Birth of Jesus was the Beginning of all the
Wonderful Ways that God Shows His Love for us.
And He's got Many More Wonderful Ways
to keep showing us His Love,
because God's Love 'Keeps On Growing'.
God Really Does Love You.

~ On The 11th Day of Christmas.
~ The True 12 Days of Christmas ~
On The 11th Day of Christmas my True Love (Jesus) 'Said' to me:
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature". (Mark 16:15)
The 'Good News' of Jesus is to be Shared & Enjoyed by Everyone.
The Gospel is The 'Good News of Jesus'.
When the Son of God, Jesus Christ came to earth and Lived amongst the people for 33 years, it was the most 'Important' moment in the History of Human kind.
The Creator of Everything, the most powerful Being in existence is so Loving & Humble that He came to earth to Live as a Human being, to 'Show' us how to Live, to Heal us, and Ultimately to 'Save' us from our wrong doings.
That is Great News to Share.
You don't need to be a Preacher to Preach 'The Gospel'.
You don't need to be a Vicar, a Pastor or a Bible Expert to Share the Good News of Jesus.
All You need is a Genuine Personal Relationship with Jesus.
Then You can then Share with others the 'Personal Experiences' You have with Jesus and the things You Learn from Him.
The 12 Disciples Simply Shared their own Personal Experiences that they'd had with Jesus. That's literally how Christianity started.
When Jesus said to His Disciples “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature", He was Simply meaning Go and Share with others the things that He had taught them ~ The Truth, Wisdom, Understanding, Love and All the other Wonderful Blessings that Jesus Revealed to his Disciples.
He was Simply saying Go and Share the 'Good News' that I have Shared with you.
Because the Disciples 'Did' what Jesus asked them to 'Do', we are All now Blessed with knowing the Truth about God & Jesus.
We are Blessed with the Freedom & Opportunity to Enjoy a Close and Personal Relationship with Jesus ourselves.
The Disciples Preached the Gospel, yet they were not Preachers.
You Can Do it as well.
The very first people to ever Share the 'Good News' of Jesus was The Shepherds.
After The Angel of The Lord had visited them and Gave them the Good Tidings of Great Joy, that Jesus the Savior has been Born, they Immediately went to Find Him.
When they found Baby Jesus in The Manger, they were Blessed with their Own Personal Experience with Jesus.
They had a Joyful Experience that they could then Share with others.
Even though at that time Shepherds were considered as 'outcasts' and were generally 'ignored' by others, the Experience of Meeting The Savior of the world (God's Own Son), Filled them with the 'Joy' and 'Passion' to Share it with others.
They made 'Widely Known' the Good News that The Angel had told them and that they could Confirm it was 'True' because they had Experienced it themselves.
That's the Power of The Gospel, to Know 'The Truth' and to Share 'The Truth'.
Jesus is 'The Truth'. (John 14:6).
If You are already Blessed with having a Personal Relationship with Jesus, then Share the things You have Experienced and Learned from Jesus with other people.
Good Things Are To Be Shared.
The Angel said to The Shepherds "Don't be afraid".
You don't need to be afraid of anything that is to do with Jesus, whether it's getting to know Him or Sharing what You know with others. There's Nothing to be afraid of.
The Shepherds put their Trust and Belief in God & Jesus. In return they were Blessed with 'Courage' to Go and Share with others the Truth they knew about Jesus.
People Listened to them and were Amazed.
When You have a Personal Relationship with Jesus and You're Willing to Share it with others to Help them Enjoy 'The Truth', then God will Fill You with a Passion & Joy that will Shine Brightly to Inspire others.
You'll be Amazed at what can be Achieved when You Simply let the 'Love of Jesus' Shine through You.
Many people are Still Living in the 'darkness' of the 'world'.
They need 'The Light'.
You can be a 'Shining Light' to Guide them to the 'True Light' of Jesus.
Jesus is the 'True Light of the world'. He is the 'Only' One that can Set people Free.
Even though Jesus is the 'True Light', He Lovingly and Humbly Shares His Light with His Followers so that we can All do Great and Wonderful things with Him.
Jesus says to You:
“You are the Light of the world. Let your Light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven".
(Matthew 5:14-16)
~ Be the Light.
~ Guide people to Jesus.
~ Share the 'Good News' of Jesus.
~ A Positive thing to Enjoy Doing on this Day of Christmas ~
~ Share the 'Good News' of Jesus with others.
Let the Wonderful Blessings that You have Personally Experienced with Jesus, and the 'Truth & Wisdom' that You have Learned from Jesus, Flow Through You like a 'Flowing River' of Crystal Clear 'Pure' Water.
Let the 'Truth' You Share with others be Refreshing to their Souls.
Let it Inspire them and Enlighten them to the Wonderful Joyful Love of Jesus.
Be 'Positive & Cheerful' when You Share the 'Positive & Cheerful' Goodness of Jesus.
You can Share 'The Gospel' in Many Ways, from Big Worldwide Ministries, or a Simple Chat with a Friend.
Whether You Guide One person to be Saved by Jesus or a Million people, Every 'Soul Saved' is Precious to Jesus.
Whatever You Do to Guide people to Jesus and however many people You Guide, Jesus will be 'Truly Grateful' to You.
If You don't know where to start then here are a few ideas of how You can Share 'The Gospel'.
~ A Simple Chat with a friend or someone You work with to Share the things You have Experienced with Jesus.
Maybe Share a story of how You where Blessed with something and You just Knew that it came from Jesus.
Maybe Share the Answer to a Prayer that You Prayed (whether the answer was how You had Hoped it would be or maybe a Better Solution that Jesus Blessed You with). Jesus will Always Do what is Best for You.
~ Maybe write a Inspiring Poem about the Love of Jesus.
~ If You are able to then maybe Organise a group where people can Share with 'Each Other' their own Experiences with Jesus.
~ Get Creative. Design and Make something that is based on the Truth & Love of Jesus.
~ Write a Positive Inspiring Book to Guide people to Jesus.
~ Share Inspiring Bible verses with people.
~ Use the Skills & Talents that God has Blessed You with to Inspire others, and then Give All the Praise to Jesus, because it's 'Through Jesus that we can Do All Things' - (Philippians 4:13).
Whatever You Do, ask Jesus to Shine Through You.
Maybe say this short Prayer:
"Thank You Jesus for Trusting me to Share Your Truth & Love with others.
Please Shine Through me with Your 'Joyful' Love and Your 'Cheerful' Goodness to Guide people to You. Amen".
When You 'Follow' Jesus, You can then 'Lead' others to Him.
~ Lead and Follow, Follow and Lead.
The Angel Guided The Shepherds.
The Star Guided The Wise men.
Now You can Guide 'Lost People' to Jesus.

~ On The 9th Day of Christmas.
~ The True 12 Days of Christmas ~
On The 9th Day of Christmas my True Love (Jesus) 'Said' to me:
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have Peace. In the world you will have trouble; but Be of Good Cheer, I have Overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
You can 'Be Cheerful' knowing that Jesus has already Overcome any problems in 'the world'.
Jesus doesn't Pretend that there is no trouble in the world, He 'Acknowledges' it, and then Blesses us by 'Doing' something Positive about it, He Overcomes it.
Jesus Deals with the trials, tribulations and troubles of 'the world'.
So You Don't need to worry about it.
You can 'Be Cheerful'.
Too many people are Living a Miserable Life because they Focus on the 'negatives' of the 'world'
The news, social media, 'worldly' TV Programs & Films, 'worldly' music and 'society' Gossip all Focus on the 'Doom & Gloom' of the 'world'.
Non of them offer a 'Positive Solution' to the problems.
People become Miserable because they watch and Listen to the negativity of the 'world' (and worst still, they Believe it).
The 'Truth' is that a Lot of things in the News and Media are 'Made Up Lies', designed to 'Sap' Your Joy and Peace.
Jesus knows this and He Lovingly Guides You that when You Follow Jesus, You will "Find Peace in Him".
By Following Jesus You can 'Be Cheerful'.
God & Jesus are Not just lazing around doing nothing. They are Constantly working 'Behind The Scenes' to Deal with and Solve the 'trouble' in the 'world'
Just because You might not See things happening, or they might not be how You think they should be, it doesn't mean that God & Jesus are not doing something about it.
Jesus Gives us Assurance that we can 'Be of Good Cheer' because He has Overcome the world.
~ Be Cheerful.
Don't waste Your Life by Focusing on the 'negatives'.
Instead Focus on the 'Positives'.
The most positive thing You can Focus on is Jesus.
He will Fill You with His Peace, Joy and 'Cheerfulness'.
~ A Positive thing to Enjoy Doing on this Day of Christmas ~
~ Be of Good Cheer.
There's a Great saying from the 90's that says:
"Switch Off Your TV Set and Do Something less Boring Instead".
TV and Smartphones have become some of the 'worst' Tools that 'evil people' use to Spread Misery, Hatred, Doom & Gloom, lies & deception and evilness Around the world.
Switch It Off, so it 'Can Not' get to You.
~ If You Don't watch it, You won't see it.
~ If You Don't listen to it, You won't hear it.
That way it Can't make You miserable.
Do something more 'Interesting & Inspiring' with Your Time.
God Created You with 'Intelligence & Imagination'.
Before the invention of TV, smartphones and internet, people used their Own Creativity to Spend Their Time on earth 'Wisely'.
There are Lots of things that we can all do apart from watching TV and wasting time on social media.
Be Creative. Use Your Brain instead of letting others 'dictate' to You how to spend Your Time.
(You'll be Amazed what Your own Brain can do).
Studies have shown that the average person uses less than 10% of the Capabilities of their Own Brain.
That's terrible. That means that most people spend 90% of their time doing things that other people have 'deceived' them into doing.
God Created 'You' with more Intelligence than that. Don't waste it.
Find what's Right for You. Don't look to other people. You'll Never find what God Created You for, by looking to others.
~ Ask Jesus for Guidance.
~ Be Open Minded to Him.
~ Try Something New.
And whilst You're doing it, Be Cheerful.
Do Your best to Avoid the 'negatives' in the world.
Avoid negative people.
'Switch Off' the Dramas, the fighting and the goory Rubbish.
God didn't Create Life to be a Drama.
He Created it to be Joyful & Inspiring.
Find things You can Do to Help and Inspire other people.
A Cheerful Smile can Brighten someone's Day.
Always remember that no matter what happens in Life, Jesus has 'Overcome' the world.
So You can 'Be of Good Cheer.'

Don’t Forget to Remember Jesus at New Year.
New Years Day is only a week after Christmas Day, yet many people Forget about Jesus at New Year.
Many people become so Focused on the New Year celebrations that they lose their Focus on Jesus.
New Year has become so 'Hyped Up' that for many people it 'Overshadows' Christmas.
People become so obsessed with things like 'man made' fireworks displays that they Forget about the 'Glorious Light' that God Created in the Sky with the Wonderful 'Star' for the Birth of God's only Son.
People view the Beginning of a New Year with Excitement & Wonder, but they Forget that the Birth of Jesus was the Beginning of 'Something Truly Wonderful'.
For a lot of people when it comes to the 2nd January, they go straight back to living their lives with the Same Lifestyle they had before Christmas, as though Christmas has meant 'Nothing' to them.
Yet the Spirit of Christmas is for us All to Live & Enjoy 'All Year'.
Many people make such a Big Deal about New Year, that they Forget to Remember Jesus.
But the Truth is that without Jesus, there would be 'No' New Year to celebrate.
Jesus Blesses us with Each & Every New Year of Life.
That's something to be Thankful for.
Jesus came to 'Give us Joy', so that we can Enjoy each New Year.
So there's nothing wrong with celebrating & Enjoying New Year, but don't leave Jesus out.
~ Welcome Jesus as you celebrate.
~ Feel His Joy as you Enjoy yourself.
~ And Keep Your Focus on Jesus.
Then You will Truly Enjoy a Happy New Year.
May God Bless You with a Wonderful Year ahead, Full of the Peace, Love & Joy of Jesus.
May You 'Dream New Dreams' & 'Set New Goals' for the Glory of God.
Enjoy the New Year and the Wonderful things that God has got Planned for you.
And 'Don't Forget to Remember Jesus'.

~ On The 5th Day of Christmas.
~ The True 12 Days of Christmas ~
On The 5th Day of Christmas my True Love (Jesus) 'Said' to me:
"I have come that they may have Life, and that they may have it More Abundantly". (John 10:10)
Jesus came to earth so that You can Live Your Life 'Full' of His Joy and Happiness.
God didn't Create You to Live a Dull and Boring Life.
He Created Your Life to be Exciting, Interesting and Enjoyable.
Many people Do things in their Lives that they 'Think' is Living Life to the Full. But the 'Truth' is, they're Missing Out on the 'Real' Joy and Excitement that 'Only' Jesus can Give.
God didn't Create people to waste their Lives watching the Same TV programs 'Every Day' that Fill their Mind with the 'worlds' negative way of Living.
He didn't Create people to 'Dull' their Minds by getting drunk (and 'Thinking' they're having fun).
He didn't Create people to have their Minds bombarded with 'lies and deception' from Wasting Their Time on social media.
God Created people with Intelligence. He Created us All with Skills and Talents. He Designed our Minds to be 'Creative' with the Ability to Think of Great Ideas.
God has Blessed us All with 'Dreams & Goals'.
Many people Miss Out on their Dreams because they're 'too busy' doing the Same Boring 'society led' things over and over again.
Jesus came to Give 'You' Life that's Full of Real Excitement, Joy and New Discoveries.
Follow Jesus and You will Discover the 'Abundant Life' that 'Only' Jesus can Reveal to You.
~ A Positive thing to Enjoy Doing on this Day of Christmas ~
~ Dream Your Dreams.
God has Given us All Unique and Individual Dreams & Goals for our Lives.
They're Stored in our Hearts.
Whether Big or Small, Your Dream is Important for You.
If You haven't yet Discovered Your Dream, ask Yourself this question;
"What Good thing would I Do, if I knew I would Achieve it?"
Search Deep in Your Heart and You will Discover the Dream that God has Given 'You'.
Don't let 'other people' Influence what God has put in 'Your Heart'.
If God has Given You the Dream, then You can be Sure it's 'Right for You'.
~ Write Your Dream down.
~ Visualise it in Your Mind.
~ Pray about it. Ask Jesus for His Guidance and His Wisdom of how to Achieve it.
~ Believe in the Dream that God has Given 'You'.
"With God All Things Are Possible". (Matthew 19:26).
Jesus came to Give You Life 'More Abundantly'. ~ Don't waste it.

"Me and Jesus are a Great Team,
Together We Will Achieve this Dream".
Live God's Dream for Your Life.
