Why is faith, hope, and love important? Romans 5:1-11 1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access [by faith] to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, 4 and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, 5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us. 6 For Christ, while we were still helpless, yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly. 7 Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die 8 But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us. 9 How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath. 10 Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life. 11 Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

The Changing Generation! A Future Generation! Some may believe that society will remain the same, and there is nothing you can do about it. Society is like a big group of people sharing the same ideas, your either in or out, or consider yourself an outcast. There is the other side of things, a different group of people. The kind who struggles and works hard to earn a living. Not in any form interested in glamour or what the next trend will bring. The kind of people who understands what is righteous and knows what it takes to be strong, stand your ground, and fight for what you believe in. These past four years was about struggle, being steadfast and not swerving right or left. This time it was harder than ever for the fear of being isolated or missing out on something big. As a result, we prevailed and that made us a “stronger generation.” The truth was hard to see, but it turned out to be a small group of people pressing on all these satanic ideologies. A group who are emotionally imbalanced attempting to control the majority. Here we are attempting to cross the desert and fight temptation. Producing a whole new society so real we could touch it. A whole new generation of people. A much stronger and wiser group. Who cares more about love than anything materialistic. God's love will always prevail 💗

Asking for forgiveness can create powerful changes in our lives. So much could change with those simple words. Not just the individual asking for forgiveness but the individual accepting it. Family and friends could be difficult at times. Fortunately, God blessed me with my own family circle. Who support me when things get tough. I became stronger and learned how to deal with difficult situation. I'm a stronger person because of it. I am blessed to have people who push me to do better. So even though some of my family and friends may not understand what I do, I will always include them. I consider my husband a good person because he was always good to his mother. I would never want to tarnish anything that could contradict the goodness inside of him. I would never want to put him in an awkward situation. In result, making us a happier family because of it. Asking for forgiveness is as powerful as accepting it. Genesis 50:20 “Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good, to achieve his present end, the survival of many people.”

13 ''Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again" 14 "but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." What did Jesus mean when he said you will never thirst again? John 4:23 "But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him."

Life continues to propagate challenges and we all need to make difficult choices. It's important to know where to stand when we make these difficult choices. Staying on the righteous path is always hard but the results are much more sweeter. It's not necessarly impacting the challenge itself but other aspects of our life as well. Don't swerve right or left it's important to be firm and steadfast following the law of God given to us by Moses. Don't lose track of what is important. When we die, we won't take anything with us. Our love for one another is much more important than anything else. This is why knowing whats important will help us make better choices. Stay on the righteous course. Temptation takes a lot of self discipline but not imposible. If we follow Gods way of being, he will not foresake us. Life is full of obstacles and difficult choices. Follow the righteous path, be steadfast toward the light of God and see how much love there could be.

1 "After Moses, the servant of the LORD, had died, the LORD said to Moses' aid Joshua, son of Nun:" 2 "My servant Moses is dead. So prepare to cross the Jordan here, with all the people, into the land I will give the Israelites." 3 "As I promised Moses, I will deliver to you every place where you set foot." 4 "Your domain is to be all the land of the Hittites, from the desert and from Lebanon east to the great river Euphrates and west to the Great Sea." 5 "No one can withstand you while you live. I will be with you as I was with Moses: I will not leave you nor forsake you." 6 "Be firm and steadfast, so that you may give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers I would give them." 7 "Above all, be firm and steadfast, taking care to observe the entire law which my servant Moses enjoined on you. Do not swerve from it either to the right or to the left, that you may succeed wherever you go." 8 "Keep this book of the law on your lips. Recite it by day and by night, that you may observe carefully all that is written in it; then you will successfully attain your goal." 9 "I command you: be firm and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God, is with you wherever you go."

Church, Church, where are you? I need to fill my soul today. Once a week is enough for me To go back to work and do the same. To do your calling everyday. The life I enjoy. Only if I fill up today. I fill back up and start again and fill this world back up again. The Church becomes my life, you see. To fill with love for all to see! Church, Church, where are you? I need to visit- my best friend soon. To get my Eucharist- so we can meet. “Tabernacle” I say to you. To say my prayers by telling God. Life is better in Church, oh God Oh mighty one. I’m visiting friends. I need to go to church today. Where we enjoy a song or two. To hear the beautiful organ play. Where we enjoy the sound of angels. But only with my best friend God. Church, Church where are you? I see my peeps waiting for you To hear the priest. To hear those words we hold so dear From the book we all share so we could all hear Those loving words from the ones who knows The stories we all hear. The story of: Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses. The stories never change. Our love is still the same. When we all gather in here. Our community will remain the same. With children and adults still finding their faith The older peeps correct us all day. No one is perfect but only God. We grow our faith in the church. Together as a community it should be. Only with God we could grow our love. No one needs to be alone. When we have church and God for all to glee.

12 “We ask you, brothers, to respect those who are laboring among you and who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you,” 13 “and to show esteem for them with special love on account of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.”

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’” 44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,” 45 “that you may be children of your Heavenly Father, for he makes his son rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.” 46 “For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same?” 47 “And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same?” 48 “So be perfect, just as your Heavenly Father is perfect”

Number 22:27-30 27 “When the ass saw the angel of the LORD there, she cowered under Balaam. So, in anger, he again beat the ass with his stick.” 28 “But now the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she asked Balaam, “What have I done to you that you should beat me these three times?” 29 “You have acted so willfully against me,” said Balaam to the ass, “that if I but had a sword at hand, I would kill you here and now.” 30 “But the ass said to Balaam, “Am I not your own beast, and have you not always ridden upon me until now? Have I been in the habit of treating you this way before?” “No,” replied Balaam.” 31 “Then the Lord removed the veil from Balaam’s eyes, so that he too saw the angel of the LORD standing on the road with sword drawn; and he fell on his knees and bowed to the ground” Our creatures may not be comprehensive thinkers but they are our creatures. I believe every creature has a purpose in this world and every thing has a job. It may not be a sophisticated job but they are still our creatures given to us by God. Reading the way Balaam speaks to his ass seemed cruel and irrational. The ass is unable to defend itself. Her owner should have treated her better, and attempt to analyze the situation. Our animals need patience and understanding just like everything else.

1 “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.” 2 “He fasted for forty days and fourth nights, and afterwards he was hungry.” 3 “The tempter approached and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread.” 4 “He said in reply, “It is written: ‘One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.’”

16 “and fed you in the desert with manna, a food unknown to your fathers, that he might afflict you and test you, but also make you prosperous in the end” 17 “Otherwise, you might say to yourselves, ‘It is my own power and the strength of my own hand that has obtained for me this wealth.” 18 “Remember then, it is the LORD, your God who gives you the power to acquire wealth, by fulfilling as he has now done, the covenant which he swore to your fathers.”
