But after we have opened our hearts to Jesus, the heavenly Father leaves us here so we can show others the Way. We are to let the light of His love and grace shine through us and draw others to Jesus. So be thankful today and every day. Abba Father has not forgotten about you. He has an extraordinary purpose and a plan for your life and He is going to work everything together for good. Amen. Alive, I’m Christ’s messenger; dead, I’m his bounty. Life versus even more life!

“Now listen! Today I am giving you a choice between life and death, between prosperity and disaster.” — Deuteronomy 30:15  (NLT) Every person on this planet has a choice to make. It's not a one time decision, but a choice we make moment by moment, with each word we speak and every action we take, to follow Christ or to go astray.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. — Psalm 46:1 (NIV) If you are feeling all alone in the troubles and trials that you are going through, know that God is our refuge and strength. He is always ready to help in times of trouble. He is mighty and immovable. Your circumstances cannot move Him. He is a strong and impenetrable fortress.

To this peace indeed you were called as members in one body [of believers]. And be thankful [to God always]. (Colossians 3:15 AMP)

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind… —J ob 38:1 (NKJV) When disaster comes in like a whirlwind, and calamity overtakes you like a storm, know that God is in the whirlwind with you. Let His Presence be your perfect peace, the calm in the eye of the storm. The whirlwind will scatter those things that need to be removed out of your life, and God will carry you through it all. I've heard a song on the radio that says, when your life seems to be falling apart, it is actually coming together. Amen to that!

(Romans 8:28 AMP).

In Luke 1:37 (AMP), God said, with Him nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. Stand on His Word, and believe His Word. It is truth and it endures forever.
