Point Of View is a 7-Day Bible Study on You Version. I will be starting this Study soon. If you would like to join me, in doing the study download You Version App and go to Plans and search it up. I cannot wait to see what God is going to reveal to me in His Word.

POV http://bible.com/r/7k6

When tragedy and loss happens, we sometimes feel like we cannot go on. We wonder how we are going to be from one day to the next. We look at life around us differently. We look at things as temporary and meaningless. Our minds are clouded with negativity to the point that we want to give up on hope and what we believe in.

Sometimes it even takes months or years for someone to get a grasp on reality again. We often feel like we are existing but not living like we want to. When tragedy happens, it takes a toll on how we think and feel about things. It often makes us examine ourselves to see how we are on the inside. Tragedy and loss is like drinking sour lemonade, it doesn’t taste good. It’s not good for the heart, or soul.

Tragedy and loss can cause someone to become bitter, angry, and filled with hate. We forget that life goes on even after bad things happen. We cannot stop living just because tragedy and loss happens. We have to dig down deep as hard as it may be, dig our feet in and keep going on.

We cannot let the bad things that happen stop us from having a happy life. Trials come to make us strong. Jesus is with us through everything we go through. We never have to face circumstances alone. Because He lives, we live. We can go on living because He lives. Life goes on even into eternity. God bless, and stay safe. Thank you for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul.

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.14.26.KJV

Even in these trying times, the Comforter is here with us. He helps us to remember the things that God said in His Word to us. He teaches us all things concerning what Jesus has said to us. It is good to know we are not on this earth alone. Jesus said that He would not leave us as orphans, that the Father would send Him to us, which is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will be with us forever. He will forever teach us the ways of God.

Right now as we are going through loss, He is here comforting us. He is mending our broken hearts. He is showering us with His precious love. We never have to worry about not having someone here to comfort us when we are shedding tears for whatever reason. I thank God for the Holy Ghost.

No matter what, we must remember that we are never alone even when we lose someone we love. God bless, stay safe. ©2022.

I just finished day 1 of the @YouVersion plan ‘Discover Your True Worth With Lindsay Roberts’. Check it out here: http://bible.com/r/7nT

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. James 1:22‭-‬24 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/jas.1.22-24.KJV

Today was quiet, but another work day for me. As I was preparing to go to work, I received a call from my sister telling me that our grandmother did not make it, she passed away. I lost it, completely lost it.

Being the person I am in God, I should have handled it better than I did, but I have feelings to. My whole heart shattered within a split second. Our hearts are heavy as we grieve the loss of our grandmother. This will be a Valentine’s Day I do not ever intend to forget.

In due time our hearts will mend, but as for now everything is on the surface. Everything is very raw. This is how I cope with grief; I have to write what I am feeling. I have to get it out, even if it means screaming to the top of my lungs. Pain is pain and it all hurts very deeply. Preachers are people too, we hurt, we cry, we go through devastating situations just as everyone does. We just have to remember that we are carriers of the Word of God. Even in this time of bereavement I still have to be strong for my family. I still broke down. Was I wrong? Was I wrong for crying and screaming? Was I wrong for letting my heart break?

I will always have my memories of everything she taught me. Our hearts are heavy, but God will comfort our hearts. He is with us even now. He won’t leave us to suffer this alone. Everything will be alright. Until next time, God bless, stay safe, and just remember that Jesus is just a prayer away.©2/14/22

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 1 Corinthians 13:4 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1co.13.4.KJV

This Scripture speaks volumes. There is nothing wrong with being charitable and helping others. We are supposed to help one another expecting nothing in return. It makes me happy to be able to help others. Jesus wants us to help each other. If you can help someone who is in need, help them. The feeling you get is heavenly, and not only that, we are serving the Lord. Have a blessed week.©2022

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.10.KJV

Persecution is something that I have experienced more times than I can count since I have been a Christian. Persecution is even on the job, and I have experienced that as well also. I have been falsely accused of many things that I did not do, and I guess that is something I will have to endure as long as I am alive.

When anyone is persecuted for the sake of righteousness, theirs is the kingdom of heaven. There’s no persecution in heaven. We will live in peace for all eternity. We will not have to worry about being falsely accused of anything ever again.

As long as there is human life there will be persecution for whatever reason or another. It is something Jesus will have to give us the strength to go through. We can defend ourselves of the lies and false accusations, but God will have the last and final say in it all. God bless.©2022

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/jer.29.11.KJV

We may often wonder what God thinks of us, well, He tells us in Jeremiah 29:11. How wonderful it is to know that God thinks this of us, and wants this for us. When we think about all of the mistakes we have made in our life, and God still loves us that should bring joy to our heart and soul.

At the time when the world was brand new, who would have ever thought that things would happen to make the things of the earth become sinful and dark. Sin ruined everything. God had to restore what He created after the flood. We are restored through the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, our Saviour, and soon coming King. Our mind is renewed by the Word of God. When we began to see through our spiritual eyes, we began to see things more cleanly, and understand things that we normally wouldn’t.

There’s nothing wrong with not understanding something, this is why we have the Word of God to gain understanding and wisdom from Jesus. If God had not left us His Word of Life, we would have never known about Jeremiah 29:11 and what God thinks of us. So, when we start to feel like we don’t know what God thinks of us, we can always turn to Jeremiah 29:11. God bless you all. His love endures forever. ©2022

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Corinthians 1:3‭-‬4 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2co.1.3-4.KJV

At some point we will all need to be comforted. Jesus is always here to comfort us no matter what we are going through in our life. We are to comfort others when they are going through something that God has brought us through. We can tell them how God helped us through our situations we were facing. When we do that, it lets them know that God is there for them to, and that they are not alone.

I can recount how I was comforted by God when we lost our brother. It felt like the pain of losing him was never going to leave, and the shock of it. I can recount how our church family was there for me whenever we told them about our brothers passing. I felt Gods love and comfort as they reassured me that everything was going to be alright. During that time in my life the grieving process was very hard, because I love my brother so much. I take comfort in God’s Word whenever I start to feel sad.

We all ho through things that hurt us deeply, and God is the only One who can make that hurt go away. I know sometimes ask why we go through hurt and pain, but it is a part of life just like joy and happiness. We can take comfort in knowing that Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us. We can take comfort in knowing that we have the Holy Ghost to comfort us, to heal our spirit, and give us joy.

This is a beautiful Scripture. I could go on and on about God’s comfort that He gives us. It would take me a lifetime to tell it all. Think about the times when God comforted you and share it with someone who you know that really needs to know about the comfort of God.

I have enjoyed sharing this Scripture with you all, and I am sorry that I posted it so early on the next day. I started on this yesterday, but I had to wait before I finished it. Share this Scripture with someone to let them know that Jesus is there for them, and that He loves them. God bless you all, and stay safe. ©2022

My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.121.2.KJV

How many times have we said that we need help with this, or that? We often forget where our help comes from. We forget that we have a Father who is ready, willing, waiting, and wants to help us at any given moment. Do we not understand and realize that God has been helping us since before we were born?

He helped us by creating this world for us so we would have a place to live. He sent His Son into this world to save us from a devils hell. He has been helping us since the world began. He left us His Word so we could get to know Him and His Son.

He helps us when we are going through things in our life that we don’t have control over. He helps us get through things that we are going through that we don’t understand.

When a way needs to be made when we cannot see a way out of something, He makes a way for us. When we are suffering loss, he helps us by comforting us through our grief.

God helps us everyday, we just have to open our spiritual eyes and see it. When we need a job, He opens doors that no man can shut. When we are sick in the need of healing, He heals us. I am a living witness to that; He has healed me many times when I was sick and could not afford to go to the doctor, so He has been my doctor.

I know He has helped you too. He is there when we need Him, and we need Him everyday of our life. Thank Him today and everyday for all of the help He gives to us. He is our ever present help in the good and bad times. We can call on Him anytime. It doesn’t matter where we are when we need Him. He is just a prayer away. Just remember, He loves us all and wants what is best for all of us.

I always enjoy giving my thoughts on Scripture and seeing the truth in God’s Word. Everyone be blessed, and stay safe. ©2022

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.6.KJV

Even as Christians, we must thirst and hunger after righteousness. There are so many bad influences in the world that will try to deter us from following Jesus, and knowing righteousness. The enemy will try to cause us to not listen to God’s Word and His teachings. This is where we must stay in the Word daily and meditate on it.

There are those who has never picked up a Bible to open it and read it. I have seen those who have a Bible that’s collecting dust on the table, or on a shelf never being used as God intended. We cannot learn what righteousness is unless we open the Bible and read the Holy Words God left us. It is the only way we will get to know God. It is the only way we will know how to live righteously.

What would we do if we did not have the Word of God to live by? How would we be able to love one another as we should? How would we even learn to love our enemies? Loving our enemies is the most hardest thing to do, and we really need God’s help to do that. That is something we just cannot do on our own. To be filled with righteousness, we have to go to the Word of God.

Open your Bible, or your Bible App and let the righteousness of God, and the love of Jesus Christ, His Son fill your heart, life, and soul today. He loves us all. God bless you all, and stay safe.©2022

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.3.16.KJV

Looking at this verse, “and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren”. This stands out to me. The question is this: Will we lay down our lives for the brethren?

Some people have been martyred because of Jesus and their faith in God. They sacrificed their lives because of what they believed , and who they believed in. It has been going on since Stephen was martyred in the Bible. It is still going on today. Who would have ever thought that something like that would still be going on today in this world?

I know that there are people who cannot stand to hear the name of Jesus. It is a shame that they refuse real love, the love of God through His Son, Jesus Christ, who laid down His life for all of us; every human being on this earth, from generation to generation.

It does not matter who a person is, or where they are from, or what they believe in, Jesus died for us all. Will you turn to Jesus? Will you go to God so He can save your soul? We only get one life on this earth, but our soul will reside in heaven or hell after the judgement. Where do you want to spend eternity? Only you can make that choice.

God bless you all, stay safe. Just remember that Jesus loves you.©2022

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:15‭-‬16 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1jn.2.15-16.KJV

This world is passing away more and more everyday. Look at what’s going on in the world today. Due to all of the virus variants that are here taking innocent lives, with the numbers going up, what is it going to be like a year or two from now?

Lust is another thing that is wreaking havoc in the world, and this has been going on since the beginning. It is a sin that has caused more trouble than a little bit. Everything that is not of God is sin. The Scripture explains all of this to us. Thank God for His Word, because without it, we would not know anything about sin, or how to live righteously before God. We would not know anything about Jesus and what He did for us. We would not know anything about salvation, or being free from sin.

What would our life consist of? How would we pray to God if we did not have the Word to learn from? We would be living by our wits. There’s so much going on in the world to not know who Jesus is. He is the only one who can end all of what’s going on in the world in every life, of every person.

I have heard people say,”I have my pride”. Will pride get you into heaven? Will pride save your soul? Will pride comfort you when you lose someone you love? Will pride stop a divorce? Will pride pay your bills? Will pride get you where you want to be in life? Will pride wipe your tears away? Will pride put food on your table, clothes on your back, shoes on your feet, and money in your pockets, or bank account, or buy that vehicle you want, or help you find that special someone to spend your life with? Will pride tell you that everything will be alright, and not to worry about anything? Will pride talk to you when your life is turning up side down? Will pride put a smile on your face? Will pride tell you to keep going when you want to give up? Will pride stop a person from taking their own life? Will pride tell someone to leave drugs alone because it can kill them? Will pride keep you away from trouble and sin? Will pride make anyone a better man or woman? Will pride make you see clearly the right things that should be done? Will pride save your life, and I mean your eternal life!?!

Pride will get you nowhere, and neither will his friend stubbornness, lack, judgemental, false accuser, despair, poverty, death, sickness, disease, plagues, and everything else that is against God!

I know I may have struck some nerves, but maybe that is what it takes to make people see the real realities of life. Don’t get caught up in pride because if you do, it will lead you to nowhere. Jesus is the way to salvation. He has already paid the ultimate price for us when He shed His blood on Calvary. That is a price we will never be able to repay; we were blood bought, and we have free salvation because of Jesus Christ, our King. Think about how He suffered for us, bled for us, died for us, and on the third day, rose again for us! He said He would be with us until the end of the age, until the world ends! Life is too short, and time is running out to be playing around with your eternal soul, and where you want to spend eternity! Wake up and open your eyes! Jesus is on His Way Back! Here’s the question: WILL YOU BE READY WHEN HE RETURNS, WILL YOU BE READY TO STAND BEFORE HIM? CHOOSE THIS DAY WHO YOU WILL SERVE, BECAUSE AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!

Do you want to continue to live in sin? Do you want to continue to rebel against God? Do you want to continue to live and walk in darkness, and if so…how deep is that darkness? Do you not want to live in the light of Jesus Christ? Do you even care about your own soul?

Tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us. We are all given one day at a time. In those twenty four hours we are given, how much of it is spent with the LORD? Do we even make time to spend with Him? He always has time for us no matter what. He never leaves us nor forsake us. He is always there to comfort us, to wipe our tears away, to pick us up when we fall, to provide for us, to make a way out of no way. When we think about all of those things, all of those blessings… doesn’t it bring tears to your eyes and humble your heart? Doesn’t it make you want to repent of your sins? Doesn’t His love and kindness mean anything to you? Doesn’t what He did for all of us matter? Yes, it does matter because He didn’t have to do it, but He did. Love did what love does. Love sacrificed His life for us, took the punishment that we deserved. He fell along the way to Calvary, but He got up every time. That is what LOVE did for us.

I am not giving an invitation today. This is something you need to work out for yourselves. This is something you really need to pray on, and think about. Do you care where you will spend eternity? The choice is yours today while it is called today. God bless you, Jesus loves you, and I do to, and there’s nothing you can do about it.©2022

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/col.3.1.KJV

My prayer is this: I pray that everyone who does not know Jesus as their LORD and Saviour will come to know Him as their LORD and Saviour before He returns. God sent His one and only Son into this world to save us that we would not have to die in our sins. The gift of salvation is free. Do you not want to work out your own salvation before the Lord with fear and trembling? God is a jealous God, He is a consuming fire. The Holy Ghost is here to lead and guide us in all of God’s righteous ways. Let His love grow in your heart today. Let Him fill you with love, happiness, joy, and faith.

Tomorrow isn’t promised to any of us, so, while the blood is still running warm in your veins, go to God in prayer, repent of your sins and accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. It is totally and completely up to you where you want to spend eternity. The choice us yours. Jesus has already paid the price for us, the ultimate sacrifice when He shed His blood for us on the cross at Calvary. This is a price we will never be able to pay. He laid down His life for us, and He never decided not to do what He was sent here to do. All we have to do is accept Him into our life, invite Him to live in our heart forever.

If you are afraid to do it alone, call a friend who has been walking with the Lord for quite sometime and talk to them about the decision you are about to make, and they will be able to explain what it means to live for Jesus and to follow Him. Then when you are ready to make that walk, you will have someone to go with you. Just think how the angels in heaven will be rejoicing because one of God’s lost sheep finally returned home.

There are so many lost souls wondering around in this world looking for purpose, wondering what their life could be like if they had true happiness. Well, Jesus is that joy and happiness that we all need in our life. Times are hard right now, and Jesus is our only hope for a better life, and future. He is the only One who can give us what we truly need to survive, and that is the Holy Ghost.

Go to God today in prayer and pour out your heart to Him. He is waiting to hear from you. He wants to change your life for the better. It doesn’t matter what has happened in your life on your journey, but He is ready to give you a new life, and a new path to walk upon. With this being said, God bless you all. Stay safe.©2022
