Are They Different? Reconciliation and forgiveness are similar in some respects. So much so that sometimes we confuse the two of them. But they are not the same thing. So then what is reconciliation? And what is forgiveness? ###Contributing Writer 2019 ### Jul Forgiveness Definition We are instructed a number of times in the Bible to forgive others. It was an explicit part of Jesus’ model prayer in Matthew 6:7-15. Forgive is the Greek word aphiēmi, meaning “to send away, dismiss, suffer to depart; to emit...

Does Forgiveness Mean Reconciliation? Does forgiveness mean reconciliation? The quick answer: No. The reason is that forgiveness and reconciliation are two separate things. It is wonderful when relationships can be reconciled. However, that is not always possible or even safe for that matter. It is possible to forgive a perpetrator who harmed you or a family member, but a relationship might be dangerous. For instance, a mother may forgive the person who killed her daughter in a drunk driving accident, though it is doubtful she will pursue a friendship with him. The reason she will forgive him is because the pain and anger will eat her alive the rest of her life if she does not. This is hard forgiveness. Before my brother died of his...

Jesus, the Son of the living God, came to this world to save sinners and to show us the way to reach our eternal home in glory. I am the Door... Jesus said. to enter heaven. We must call on Him, day and night, pray, praise, and honor His holy name. His mercy and compassion will never ever fail to anyone who comes to Him. You deserve the glory and the honor. As we lift our hands in worship, As we praise Your holy name. For You are great. You do miracles so great. There is none like You. When we see the mercy and compassion coming from the Lord, our very dark moments turn to be a blessing to others. Then, we are so free to sing praises to Jesus because deliverance cometh from His hands. Yes, there is no one like Jesus, full of love...

We must have a heart open to hear God's voice and obey what He says. My son, God says.... Give Me your heart. Yes Lord, I am giving You everything I have. God speaks to those who take time to listen. And He listens to those who take time to pray. In my life Lord, be glorified, In my church Lord, be glorified. Amen

John the apostle is telling us today the truth of God's word. Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false teachers have gone out into the world. I John 4:1 Anyone who comes to you and tells you that Jesus is just an angel from God, a created being, that is a false teaching. Jesus is God in human form. He came to save sinners and stop going down to hell's burning fire. That is what God's word tells us and Jesus mentions in His gospels. Any version of the gospel that denies the doctrine of grace and mercy of the Lord is a false teaching. By grace you are saved, not by works we have done. Jesus has come, not as an angel from heaven, but as a Lamb of God to die on...

The first thing we should do when we open our eyes to see the sunshine coming out of our window. Glory to God in the highest. Praises be unto Him because He is giving us a new day to gloriy His holy name. Get up and sing songs of praise to Him because, He is worthy of all honor and praise now and forever more. God moving, God is coming to our aid. Can you hear the voice of the Lord. I am with you always. As we praise You, As we sing to You. Draw near to us o God. Glor to God in the highest heaven and on earth peace to those on whom His favor rest. Luke 2.14

Jesus want us all in heaven enjoying His holy presence, loving Him, praising Him, adoring Him day and night, but if we refuse to come to Jesus, do not attend church, nor serve God as He told us to do and do not love Him or praise His holy name, then we for sure are heading straight to hells burning fire. Do not cheat, Do not lie, Do the right thing. Do not have pride, greed or lust. Envy, gluttony or wrath. Love others just as Jesus loved us. Keep walking in the right road that leads to heaven. Hell is a very hot place, with varying degrees of heat. This is really a lake of fire as described by Revelation 20, 13,14 Jesus want us all to avoid going there. He is constantly calling us to come to Him. He is waiting for us with open arms...

Life will turn sour and things will go wrong, but if we seek God's face we shall forever be safe. Yes Lord, I am following You all the way to heaven. Amen

[Ephesians 4:11-12: And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. 🙏 Let Us Pray: God, I Thank You, for the people you have placed in my life who have prayed for me, encouraged me, corrected me, and or helped me grow in my faith on my journey with You. God bless, sustain, protect, encourage, and build them up, granting them abundant fruit for their labor of love. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. So be it by faith, and by faith, it is so. https://be-an-encourager.blogspot.com/2022/02/i-appreciate-you.html]

Thank You LORD for the whisperings. Luke 10:21 At that, Jesus rejoiced, exuberant in the Holy Spirit. "I thank you, Father, Master of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the know-it-alls and showed them to these innocent newcomers. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way. [MSG] I don't take the gifting of the Holy Spirit for granted. I'm too old and far too much in love with Him to play with it. Just think, these little things are just the perks that prosper a city. Can you imagine God's abundance bestowed upon the city who truly acknowledges His instructions? He knows what He's doing. Congrats ### ❤
