From the Editor, Angel Chavez
This New Year will bring only that of which we are willing to put into it. Therefore, it is time to regroup and encourage one another and pray for the new administration; it is our duty as Americans.
I hope in this New Year 2021 that everyone reading this article will find themselves closer to The Father. I know in my heart that this is The Father’s will for all mankind. So please read this article with that intent of heart.
ONLY TWO COMMANDS FOR ALL MANKIND:
“Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.
A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Mathew 22:
God will never ask us to do something that we are not capable or equipped to do. God will never ask us to do something that He will not do Himself. Why? Because He created us in His likeness, in His image. “Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us…” Genesis 1:26
What I am trying to say is that God Himself loves us with all His heart, with all His soul and with all His strength.
COULD THAT BE POSSIBLE?
Well, if we being natural or evil by nature, love our kids with all our heart, with all our soul and all our strength, (I am talking about a normal family…), then yes God loves us with all His heart, soul and strength.
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A FATHER AND HIS KID. Psalm 139
“O Lord, You have looked through me and have known me. You know when I sit down and when I get up.
You understand my thoughts from far away. You look over my path and my lying down. You know all my ways very well. Even before I speak a word, O Lord, You know it all. You have closed me in from behind and in front.
And You have laid Your hand upon me. All You know is too great for me. It is too much for me to understand.
THESE WORDS ARE NOT A POEM, BUT REPRESENT REAL ACTIONS OF A FATHER TOWARDS HIS KID. IN THIS CASE GOD IS THE FATHER THAT IS WHY HE HAS THE ABILITY TO DO ALL OF THE ABOVE FOR EACH HUMAN BEING HE HAS EVER CREATED. ISN’T THAT AMAZING?
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I run away from where You are? If I go up to heaven, You are there! If I make my bed in the place of the dead, You are there! If I take the wings of the morning or live in the farthest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me and Your right hand will hold me. If I say, “For sure the darkness will cover me and the light around me will be night,” even the darkness is not dark to You.
And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to You.
WHEN WE DO SOMETHING THAT ISN’T PRETTY, WE FEEL UNWORTHY AND DESIRE TO HIDE. BUT THAT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE. GOD OUR ONLY PERFECT FATHER, WON’T LEAVE US HIS KIDS ESTRANGED IN ANY HUMAN SITUATION. HE IS RIGHT THERE TO LOVE, TO PROTECT, TO DELIVER AND TO GUIDE.
AND HE’S GOT ALL THE POWER NEEDED…
For You made the parts inside me. You put me together inside my mother. I will give thanks to You, for the greatness of the way I was made brings fear. Your works are great and my soul knows it very well. My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret and put together with care in the deep part of the earth. Your eyes saw me before I was put together. And all the days of my life were written in Your book before any of them came to be.
THE SKY’S THE LIMIT. THAT MAY SOUND LIKE SOMEBODY’S ADVERTISEMENT, BUT WITH GOD ALL IS POSSIBLE. HE KNOWS ALL THE RIGHT MOVES TO GET US FROM ANY SITUATION TO OUR DESTINATION. WITH HIM WE ALL CAN BE MORE THAN OVERCOMERS.
WHAT IS THE USE OF RUNNING? HE KNOWS US INSIDE AND OUT BETTER THAN WE KNOW OURSELVES.
WE ARE ALL SEALED WITH “HAND MADE BY GOD” WE GOT HIS APPROVAL. DARE TO BE ALL YOU ARE MEANT TO BE AND DO ALL YOU ARE PREDESIGN TO DO. THAT IS FULLFILLMENT!
Your thoughts are of great worth to me, O God. How many there are! If I could number them, there would be more than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.
AS WE GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TO HIM, WE BECOME BOLDER AS WELL. (I DIDN’T SAY PERFECT BUT CLOSER)
Look through me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. See if there is any sinful way in me and lead me in the way that lasts forever.
THIS IS MY PRAYER FOR 2021. I HOPE YOU WILL MAKE IT YOURS AS WELL.
If you don’t know Him as your Father start today, He is with you and around you, waiting for your acceptance…Let’s Pray Aloud!
Lord, I do believe that Jesus of Nazareth took my place in the Cross. Lord, I am sorry for all my sins against you and against my own life, please forgive me. I believe Jesus was raised on the third day for my justification. Jesus, I receive you as my Lord and Savior. Your Holy blood cleanses me right now and God gives me a new heart and eternal life. Now my name is written in the book of life, guaranteed by the following written law:
“That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:9-10
