My Reflections on the Word of God Today:
I cannot imagine any person I would rather be closer to than God; what about you? Have you thought genuinely about that question?
I remember as a child I did not like to go to wakes or funeral services. I had a fear of being close to dead people. Thankfully, I overcame that fear when I was thirteen years old, and my grandmother died in our home.
How shall we live in this world with all of the troubles, and deaths happening every day of our life on earth? What does the Bible say about God's plan for our lives?
Galatians 3:26 King James Version (KJV)
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
John 10:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 1:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 3:6-7 King James Version (KJV)

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
Now, here is an invitation that God extends to you; it has your name written on it, and it comes with a promise from God.
Romans 10:11-13 King James Version (KJV)
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Oh, I beg you; I plead with you to accept the gift of salvation that God offers to you; it's the only way to know God, and be recognized by Him as His adopted children.
2 Corinthians 5:21 King James Version (KJV)
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Prayer Offered to Our Father in Heaven:
Father God, I pray that no-one who reads this message today will leave this place of prayer lost and undone; without hope in this world, and the world to come.
Father, I pray that each will come to know Jesus and receive His invitation to come to Him and accept the gift of eternal life provided by the death of Jesus on the center cross at Calvary.
John 1:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
