And this surely is the way to hopefully reach lost souls.
A call to action is in great need.
-Let us understand, not by the multitudes, but one by one by one.
-Jesus often took the time to interact with individuals, making sure they had
a personal understanding of Him and His teachings.
~Thought for Today~
-Perhaps an Unseen God taints the heart in "thinking" that disobedience is not
a significant issue, thereby leaving many in a state of vulnerability.
-Continued "worldliness" leaves the obvious chance of not being willing to change,
"thinking" that no one will know. Although Christians who believe God knows all things,
this must surely bring to mind that each shall bear their own cross.

-And this surely is in reference to "fruits of the Holy Spirit".
-Found in Galatians 5:22-23, these include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Love is one's greatest asset and is needed in all of one's going and coming.
When sincerely activated, surely the rest shall fall in place. People, places, and things, then surely
shall come into harmony.
-Good works that glorify God are actions motivated by faith, love, and obedience to God's will, rather than
a desire for human praise. They are done with sincerity and excellence, reflecting God's character to others
through actions like sharing the gospel, helping those in need, and sacrificing personal freedoms for the good of the community.
- Good works stem from faith and a sincere love for God, not from a desire to be seen by others. The motivation
is to please God, not to gain human approval.
-And surely God's approval is more significant than seeking human approval.
-Practicing love is important for both personal well-being and strong relationships, as it
improves mental and physical health by increasing happiness, reducing stress, and fostering resilience.
It is also crucial for building deeper, more committed relationships based on mutual respect and acceptance,
which in turn contributes to a more fulfilling life. Additionally, practicing love helps develop positive character
traits like kindness, generosity, and self-worth, while also promoting social harmony.
-The profound prominence relating to love within the "divine readings" seemingly is the most neglected
word that needs to be focused on and practiced in the life of all, especially Christians, some who go to great
lengths to promote their supposed scripture "knowledge".
-The most relevant theme in the Bible surrounds love.
-Surely if love were to be more focused on, there would surely be far less to argue about and/or to disagree about.
But then, with the attitudes of some, the simplest would fester into ugliness. The human ego brings about self-pride,
selfishness and self-centeredness, all of which will forever hinder the focus on love.
The suffering of love. Gratitude for this suffering should be carried
out by practicing love here in the now. Surely God's spiritual realm would rejoice.
-One must wonder how many are actually in a transformative relationship with God
when there appears to be no guidance from the Holy Spirit.
-And one must wonder how pleasing it is to God when one attempts to "outsource" God's wisdom.
Surely in doing so, one must be harboring great doubt in the "inspired wisdom" of Jesus Christ, therefore
one turns to a self-centered worldliness to "outsource" the "inspired wisdom".
-One must wonder how complacency may well play a part in the disregard for the necessity for
spiritual discipline and spiritual obedience. And the profound warning about the great harm of complacency.
-One must wonder if the Kingdom of God is fully understood and contemplated upon.
-While curiosity can be fleeting, wonder is a more sustained and reflective state that is not diminished
by knowledge, but is often deepened by it.
-It is considered human nature to wonder about many things, driven by curiosity and a desire for comprehension.
This sense of wonder is a fundamental part of what makes us human, leading to exploration, learning,
and scientific inquiry. While it can be a source of creative insight, it also involves seeking answers when the
understanding doesn't align with one's personal experiences.
~Inspiration~ Thought for the Day
'This thought for the day surely has great significance in my life, believe it.
The remembrance is still vivid of the time in my life when God found me in a mess.

'Amen'

'Gratitude and love appears to be scarce in many Christian lives. But then obsessed
with rambling over things that never will be known and/or answered, obviously are more concerning than
striving for an abundant life, here in the now.
'In the process, one's spiritual life suffers. Discipline and self-control also surely
is not on the agenda of many. "Character of language" surely displays much about
personality traits.
