Romans 5:8-WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, Christ died for us.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8-6

HEBREWS 1:3-Who being the brightness of His Glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

ROMANS 5:10-For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

GALATIANS 2:20- I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

JOHN 15: 13- Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

PSALM 23:1-The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

JOHN 17:23- I in them, and thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, AS THOU HAST LOVED ME.

ROMANS 8:1- There is now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

1 PETER 2:24- Who his own self bares our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1 JOHN 3:16- Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay own our lives for the brethren.

PSALM 100:1- Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

Today I just felt like sharing some Scripture verses with everyone. I thought I would do something different. I hope you enjoy reading them.

PRAYER:

Father, My heart strings sings to You this day. You are my creator. You gave me life and You gave me purpose. As the earth shouts joyful praise unto You, so do I. You are worthy of all my praise and I will shout Your name for all to hear. Thank You for who You are. In Jesus name, Amen.

APPRECIATING LIFE by Shaunelius L. Sterns

When we are born, we do not know that we are even in the world. We are created brand new. We are to depend upon our parents to take care of us because we cannot take care of ourselves. We can do nothing because we know nothing. As we grow from month to month, and year to year, we start to realize we are in the world. As we grow, we learn different things about life after we are at that age and old enough to know what’s going on around us. After our education years, we start to live our lives and explore the world around us. After that is all said and done, we settle down somewhere in a place we want to live for the rest of our life.

During all of that time, do we learn to appreciate the life that we have? Do we think about what we should have done, and should not have done? Do we look back over our life and have regrets? Do we thank God for every day given to us? Do we appreciate Him for the things He does for us? We only get one life, so we must appreciate our life that we have. We must cherish every moment we have every day. Tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us. Life is a gift just as the breath that we breathe, and when it is gone, it is gone, and we are no more.

Jesus came that we may have life, and life more abundantly. In order to have an abundant life, we must do the things we know we should do according to the Word of God, because had He not sent His Son, Jesus into this world, we would not have life at all. We would not be able to have that abundant life in Jesus Christ. The abundant life is not about having riches here on earth, but it is about having an eternal life in heaven with Jesus for all eternity. Riches fade away, just as material things, nothing lasts forever except your soul. It is alright to have material things, but we should not let material things have us. Where our treasure is, there will our heart be also, and our treasure is in heaven with Jesus Christ, so that is where our heart should be. We should be thinking about heavenly things, and not worrying about earthly things. It is not about us and what we want, it is about Jesus and the kingdom of God and winning souls for God so they will not have to perish in the end.

If you have not talked to Jesus today, or if you have never talked to Him, He is there waiting for you to come to Him so He can change your life for the better. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, it will be the best decision you will ever make in your life for your eternal life. God bless you, stay safe, and thank you for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul.
