FaithWriters.com-Christian Communication - It's all about Jesus

What is the meaning of life? This question has been pondered by the greatest minds on earth. Our governments get lost in war and money so much that it has only created more problems. The core values of life have been overshadowed by the news of the day that are often forgotten the very next day. There are so many people living in poverty and no one seems to care. Jesus cared because He lived in poverty.

The History Channel has taken on the task of depicting the Bible on T.V. We get an opportunity to study such questions as to who was Jesus?

There is much speculation as to who was Jesus, just as there is to the meaning of life? Is it true that the two questions are actually one answer? That Jesus is life, the truth,and the way?

The mystery of God is that Jesus is the meaning of life. Jesus is the true. He lived and died in such a manner that tells us that he died on the cross for our sins. Jesus is all about love. God is love. We need more love today. God raised Jesus from the dead because of love. Jesus will indeed return with all power and glory. Jesus and God are one. We too can be at one as well, this is what it is all about if we only have the faith of a mustard seed. This is The Joy of Jesus and the meaning of life.

Unlimited

MY GOOD IS UNLIMITED.

I am one with God and heir to God’s infinite good. Therefore, my good is immeasurable.

I am rich with ideas. My mind and heart are open to the wisdom and inspiration of God within. As I act on new thoughts and ideas, my awareness of good increases. In moments of prayer, I open my soul to unlimited good. The riches of the universe present themselves as divine ideas, activities and potential pursuits. I consider each an invitation to access the goodness of God.

I am alive with possibilities! In the unlimited realm of God’s good, all things are possible. I give thanks for all I have and the awareness of all I am.

With the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know … what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe.—Ephesians 1:18, 19

Courageous Heart - Sunday, April 14, 2013 | Daily Word

Courageous Heart

I MOVE THROUGH LIFE WITH SPIRITUAL METTLE!

The word courage comes from the Latin root word for heart. My heart takes courage when I boldly break through fear, refusing to be stymied by it for one more moment!

I have all the spiritual mettle I need to make whatever changes or decisions are necessary. I have the courage to climb any mountain, however insurmountable it may appear. I am not dismayed by life’s setbacks or derailed by doubt. I rely on my spiritual tools to steady my mind and fuel the faith of my courageous heart.

Right now, I step out with daring and take clear action. I am a courageous conqueror, and victory is already won.

Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.—Joshua 1:9

Inner Peace - Saturday, April 13, 2013 | Daily Word

Inner Peace

NOTHING CAN DISTURB THE CALM PEACE OF MY SOUL.

I may have read about the peace that passes all understanding, yet wonder, Is that peace possible for me? Regardless of the stresses of my life, can I simply choose peace? The answer is yes, I can.

Nothing can disturb the calm peace of my soul. Outer circumstances have no power to cause me distress unless I allow them that power. I can choose my thoughts. I can claim peace for my soul.

So I choose to dwell on peace, empowerment and love. I choose to see life differently. I breathe in deeply, and turn within for sacred spiritual wisdom and serenity. I experience the peace that passes all understanding.

Whenever I feel challenged by outer turmoil, I turn within and find peace.

Peace be within you.—Psalm 122:8

Faith - Friday, April 12, 2013 | Daily Word

Faith

I BELIEVE ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

I am a possibility thinker! I know that with God, I can reach my goals and overcome any challenge. I am not discouraged by the appearance of lack or limitation. At one time in history, no one believed a person could run faster than the four-minute mile. And it was implausible to imagine a man would ever walk on the moon!

In the past, I’ve overcome obstacles, even when I could not see a clear path to success. I’ve met my goals and objectives, because I knew in my heart that I could. When I hold to my faith, hope replaces doubt, and my mind affirms a new dawn. If ever I am in doubt, I re-energize my faith. I know all things work together for good.

When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who followed him, “Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith.”—Matthew 8:10

Enthusiastic

I AM ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LIFE!

I love to watch a robin hop around in the fresh spring grass looking for worms, seeds and other delights. I enjoy seeing squirrels bounce excitedly from tree to tree or a young colt frisking in an open field. These shows of natural enthusiasm remind me of life’s simple joys.

Although I may have more concerns than a robin, squirrel or colt, I can still greet each day with enthusiasm and an eagerness to appreciate life in every way. I begin with a quick prayer of gratitude and open the door to a day filled with good.

I look forward to what each day holds, knowing I am not alone, that God and I are one, and that my joy will only increase. I am enthusiastic about the promise of today.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.—Hebrews 11:1
