Do we sometimes live more in one minute, than we have during our whole life? In that one minute we realize that it is what we do in life that determines if we "keep" life or "lose" life. At this time we refuse to abuse life knowing we will lose it. Even though we did not choose it, we must give account on how we used it. James 4:14, "... What is life? Four you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes..." Our choice in this one minute determines if a minute is 60 seconds, or eternity! LIVING A LIFETIME IN A MOMENT.

1 John 2:3, "...and we know, we know HIM..." What is the "proof" that we know JESUS? Is it that we truly want to do what HE says; and to love our neighbor as ourselves? We do not know GOD with "fear and trembling" like the evil one (he has good reason to fear and tremble); nor do we know HIM in theory, as formal professors and hypocrites. We know HIM as the GOD of Grace and as our GOD pardoning iniquity, trasgression and sin, through unconditional love, joined with Faith and Trust, which gives us cheerful obedience. In this Cheerful Obedience we want nothing else but to please HIM and this is how we know HIM. When we love HIM unconditionally, we are healed physically, mentally and Spiritually. Perhaps we know HIM by KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS which become far greater than THE COMMANDMENTS in our lives. Maybe today with all of the festivities and food, we could use a little NEW YEAR'S FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
My Prayer for you. May every moment of each day bring Prayer, Hope, Faith, Love and Peace. And may HIS presence always bring you Peace. As you love, know that you are loved. And remember John 14:27, "Peace I leave withyou; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives." Abundant Blessings filled with HIS Wisdom and Power. Psalm 139: 23-24 Isaiah 43:1 GOD IS GOD! How many times have we misunderstood the word "Must" in the Bible? "...as the LORD has forgiven you, so you MUST forgive," Colossians 3:13. Or in the LORD'S Prayer "... and forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors..." Matthew 6:12. "Must do" implies an authority giving us an order that we are to (MUST) comply and do it. MUST means to be obliged or required by moral gratitude; it is the result of Love uniting all of our virtures in perfect harmony. Those who have received such forgiveness from GOD, are so moved with gratitude toward GOD that they eagerly Forgive others. Forgiving becomes instantaneous and spontanteous (without thought). It is something we MUST do for the GOD in us! We MUST forgive because we are "overwhelmed" with the forgiveness we, ourselves, have been forgiven; it we become "compelled" to forgive through inevitable Divne Providence. Do you think that MUST be, WHAT "MUST", "MUST" MEAN?
