I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

3.5.10

Mark 12:33-34 The teacher replied "And I know it is important to love God with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength, and to love my neighbor as myself.  This is more important than to offer burnings and sacrifices required in the law." Realizing how much the man understood Jesus said to him. "you are not far from the Kingdom of God."

My Thoughts

Oh don't we all want to be in the kingdom of God... the Bible teaches us how to get there... and how to have great joy on earth... yes we will have our sorrows and our troubles because we are human...and the people around us are... but oh the joy we will have if we love God with all our heart... tell God everyday that you love him... don't you love to be told you are loved!.... take time to understand God and what he wants for you.... read his word so you will have understanding... it says right here in Mark that understanding is most important.... and put all your strength into loving God... he wants your energy to be for him..... then just as important love your neighbor as yourself.... you have to love yourself to be able to love you neighbor... so be good to you... forgive you.... take care of you.... and in return you will have the energy and understanding to love others with all your heart.
