November...

Rooted and built up

in him,

and stablished in the faith,

as ye have been taught,

abounding therein with

thanksgiving.

 ~Colossians 2:7

 

What are you thanking him for today~

John 15:9-13

⁹ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

¹² This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

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

love...

1 John 4:17-21

¹⁷ Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

 

¹⁸ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

 

¹⁹ We love him, because he first loved us.

 

²⁰ If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

 

²¹ And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Luke 23:50-56

"And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor;

and he was a good man, and a just:

 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."

Luke 23:50-56

From my journal...

Truth from 'HIS' word...

Love~ Maggie

Something that I love ♥

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.  Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

~Romans 12:9-21

My mothers homemade is THE best ever...but the true
"bread of life"...comes from my daily time with God every morning before the day gets going and busy...I love to sit and just read the Bible and write in my journal (s),  and this passage really means a lot to me right now!

It sort of describes what our lives as believers s h o u l d look like. ♥
Above the passage in my Bible it says "Christian Conduct".

 

 

I hope that you are blessed, my dear friends...and that you as well love to spend time with His Majesty  each day!

Love~

Maggie

   ♥  

the source of LOVE

We are still reading lots of scripture on "love" around our home....

this one being the most recent!

I hope that it blesses you as much as it did me!

 

1 John 4:7-21

^" Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
 We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."

1 John 4:7-21

On more of a 'random' note...
What is new with you?
Not to much is 'new' with us....just the everyday busyness of:
school, piano lessons, laundry, cooking, and cleaning! =D
One of these days I am hoping to share with you a recipe for a yummy homemade lip balm...along with pictures of some "everyday randomness"!
So...stay tuned!!
Have a lovely rest of your day!
Love~

// 1 Corinthians 13 //

 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;

{but the greatest of these is charity.}"

 // 1 Corinthians 13 //

Command's

 

 

 

As I learn of the tragic news around the world daily, I reflect of the sermon I heard yesterday...

do we love the Lord

 

 

 

⁴ Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:

⁵ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

⁶ And these words, which I command thee this day,

shall be in thine heart:

⁷ And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

⁸ And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

⁹ And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

 

Deuteronomy 6:4-9King James Version (KJV)

 

Sunday...

 

 

 

This scripture passage has been a blessing to me....and it is my prayer that it will be the same to you!

There fore seeing we have this ministry, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor by handling the word of GOD deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every mans conscience in the sight of GOD. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to those who are lost: In whom the gods of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel be Christ, who is the image of GOD, should shine unto them.

 

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants foe Jesus' sake. For GOD, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of GOD in the face of Jesus Christ. For we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of GOD... and not of us." 

2 Corinthians 4:1-7 

 

 

Blessings to all our dear friends today!

::Sunday Morning::

\\ b e a u t y \\

 

 ^"It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

 They are new every morning:

{great is thy faithfulness}.

 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul;

therefore will I hope in him.

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him,

to the soul that seeketh him.

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord."

Lamentations 3:22-26

 

Blessings to everyone today...

I hope that y'all have a lovely Sunday!

Love In Christ~

Enjoy = )

 

 

Bow

 

 

 

Romans 14:11

 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,

 every knee shall bow to me,

and every tongue shall confess to God.

Have a blessed day~Lori
