​“For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love. For the whole of the Torah is summed up in this one sentence: “Love your neighbor as yourself”; but if you go on snapping at each other and tearing each other to pieces, watch out, or you will be destroyed by each other!” - Galatians 5:13-15, CJB

That’s exactly what’s been happening. I’ve seen it on Social Media. There are so many of us going back and forth maligning each other because of our different views on what’s going on in the United States right now. We can’t let ourselves get so wrapped up in society issues that we lose sight of who we are. We are followers of Yeshua. Our freedoms in this country might feel like they are being taken away, but he has given us the ultimate freedom that can never be taken away. We are always going to have different views and differences of opinions, but we are one body in in him. We need to stop fighting amongst each other. Instead, love one another, pray for one another. See each other through these trying times. How are we supposed to witness to non-believers if we can’t even witness to each other. Last year is gone. New Year, new start! Let’s go back to his foundation. 
 
Let’s not just read his Word, let’s live it. Let’s exercise our freedom, but not battle one another.


Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!

​“How blessed are those who mourn! for they will be comforted.” - Matthew 5:4, CJB 

Losing a loved one isn’t easy, especially when it happens so abruptly. There’s so much shock, grief and denial; there’s no closure. Yet, we are blessed. We may not feel it, but we are. We are blessed that we had such a relationship with that person. We are blessed that we have the love of others to help us through. We are especially blessed by Yeshua, who eases us through our mourning. He comforts us in our hurt, he calms us in our anger, he helps us to understand in the confusion. He shows us his Grace and Mercy. He takes on all of our emotions when we have to function. He takes our mourning so we can smile again; In him we have rest. If you are a believer in Yeshua and you are in mourning, rest in him. 
 
Feel the love and blessings he has for you, so you can continue to live.

Be a Blessing and Be Blessed!
