As we focus more and more on Jesus, we become “Like Him” by losing ourselves in His will! Now that we are following Jesus, His Spirit of obedience, sacrificial love, and longsuffering are conforming us into His image. Through His divine power and His leading, we are maturing in wisdom, knowledge, faith, mercy, grace, and love. Right now, today, at this very moment, God works in us to reflect His glory and thereby transforms us into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which makes us “Like Him!”

Some people need to make themselves look good, in their sight, by casting judgment on others to point out their flaws and shortcomings. This is a very sad testimony because in most cases the one that sits in judgment of others has more flaws than the one they are judging.

We have a husband and maker, the Lord, (Isaiah 54:5), who is always perfect in every way, at all times. With deep love, compassion, and a protective Spirit, He will always be there for us! He is our Creator who knows everything about us. He fully understands and loves us unconditionally! There is no one like the Lord, “the Perfect Husband”. There is no one equal to Him. When we cry out to Him for help, He hears and answers our cry. No matter how far we stray away from Him, He will always love us. He is our redeemer, the only One who can turn our captivity and set us free from sin and its effects. No matter what we face or the forces that may come against us, we don’t have to fear, worry or feel alone because we have the Perfect Husband who will always take care of us! He is compassionate, trustworthy, faithful, loving, dependable, all-knowing, all-wise, and true. He is “the Perfect Husband”!

There are some missions in life that require us to work alongside others in order to get the job done. Perhaps that’s God’s way of helping us to not get the big head and think that we are self-sufficient.

No matter what we are facing, or how confusing life might seem, the Potter is constantly molding, shaping, and aligning the clay in harmony with His divine will. When the clay is spinning around on the wheel, it is never out of contact with the Potter’s hand, so when our lives are spinning out of control, the Potter is reshaping and molding our lives into His masterpiece. No matter how fast the wheels of life are spinning, we can be assured that the Potter will never remove His hand and leave us, the clay, to be overtaken by satan and his evil forces. "The Potter and Clay!"

One thing I have learned in life is that some things change rapidly, and others may happen gradually over an extended period. Are you aware that once you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you are saved in that very instant? Yes, God counts you among the righteous at that very moment, but are you also aware that there is still work that God has to do to sanctify you which is a gradual process?

When we accept God's Word as the final authority on any given matter, we have the joy and confidence of knowing that the problem is already settled before the enemy is allowed to present their evidence. This knowledge is invigorating and satisfying. We find joy, peace, and contentment in knowing that God’s Word is settled and His promises are true no matter what we face or how strong the evil forces press against us! We can trust God to always do what is best for us and to always be on time. Although we live in an unsettled world, God’s Word is firmly fixed and settled in heaven. Hallelujah, nothing that happens on earth can change God’s Word in heaven. “It Is Settled”.

Jumping to hasty and unfounded conclusions about others can bring more harm than good for them as well as for yourself. How many blessings have you missed because your eyes were blinded towards a person who could have been a messenger from the Lord?

The LORD is trustworthy in all He promises and faithful in all He does. We can take comfort in God’s promises, at all times, because He always keeps His promise. He is gracious in all He does. Soon and very soon, Jesus Christ will return to establish “An Everlasting Kingdom” at His second coming. At last, He will destroy death and bring real peace to His children who will receive eternal life as we enter into His Everlasting Kingdom. We, the children of God, will then reign with Jesus Christ forever in “An Everlasting Kingdom!”

Wouldn’t it be grand if we could truthfully say that we have never made a mistake in life? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could say that we have done everything perfectly and never broke any of the rules along the way? Yes, that would be fantastic, but we know this is not the case for any of us.
