A "teaser" and a thought for the day.....

Here's something to think about--It's held my attention all day!

CHRISTMAS--The birth of Christ-- is all about HOPE.
EASTER--The resurrection of Christ-- is all about ASSURANCE.

More to come...........(This wll take a few days to explain, so I'm waiting until Holy Week to unfold it)

Jesus explains to the Jews, “The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone.” (John 8:29). No matter how far out we go in life, no matter how much we are able to achieve with our two bare hands,we need to remember that God is always with us. He gives us the necessary strength to rise above our challenges and will never give us a task we can't conquer. He does this on a personal level, so that we may always remember that he is a kind and loving God.

"I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor:
the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.

Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul.

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy".
