Jesus said: Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteouness and all these things shall he added unto you.  Mattew 6:33

This is not what we do.  This is not our natural reaction.  We need to seek God and His righteouness first, but often look to everything else but, God and we depend on our limited human power, instead of the perfect and righteous power of God.

Our life here on this planet is not about our life here on this planet.  Our life is about eternity and this means that it is about so much more than what most of us are living for.

Take time today to focus on your spirit, who you really are.  Contemplate your purpose and get excited about all the possibilities and potential.  You are a spiritual being, created in the image of God, who gets to experience this human life.  Drink in the reality of who you are and the privildge and unique opportunity of this moment.

Human experience is a gift to be opened, not a burden to bear.  May our Creator bless you with wisdom and growth as you seek Him and His ways.

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”  1 John 1:7

This is a very simple, but powerful truth.  If we have fellowship with God, then we will have fellowship with one another.  Fellowship with God means that we are right with Him.  If we are right with Him, then we are walking in the light of His Word.  Walking in the light of His Word is about obedience to His will and submission to His plan.

Walking in this right relationship with our Creator is an amazing gift that keeps on giving.  When we get this vertical relationship right, then our horizontal relationships with others begin to grow and develop in meaningful ways.  True fellowship is an unbroken relationship.  We are able to have unbroken relationship with one another, when we accept and share grace, mercy and forgiveness through love.

The way we accept and share is through a relationship with God through Jesus.  We don’t deserve to be forgiven, but we are forgiven, because God is love.  We can’t earn forgiveness, but we get forgiveness, because God is love.  Forgiveness and relationship is not based on us, but Him and all that He has done for us.

We are all sinners, but God’s love through Jesus sets us free from sin and allows us to grow in all of our relationships!
