But I thought about how I could receive God's radiant face that shines upon me personally.<br /><br />First of all, I have to accept God's grace through his son Jesus, who is our savior, because Jesus is the source of my life and joy. I have to obey his commandant: love my neighbor, spread Jesus's good news, and do charitable works. <br /><br />Most of all, I have to confess my sins. If I do so, joy and contentment will fill my soul in the midst of hardship. In this way I can feel peace and feel the Lord's presence. I am able to walk with Him in love<br /><br />I can encourage others to follow the way of the Lord so they also can experience the goodness of the Lord. He will also give me a spiritual blessing, which is the Joy that comes from inside of me no matter what kind of circumstance I might be in. When I share that gospel with others, God's face shines upon me.<br /><br />Let's make God's face shine upon us!<br />Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176231645022543980.post-30995340943668872252016-04-27T17:18:47.223-07:002016-04-27T17:18:47.223-07:00NONE OF US are perfect.

But it’s up to each of us, to rise up and seek God’s special support especially in a time of crisis. God doesn’t expect us to solely depend upon ourselves. He expects us to turn to Him or one of His angels, which at that moment, could be a spouse, a neighbor, a relative, a friend, who is ready and able to provide that special assistance we need at that point in time. That means, “WE" must be pro-active in reaching out for that supportTimnoreply@blogger.com
