CAST YOUR CARES ON HIM1 Peter 5:6-7, Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care on Him, for He cares for you.We often worry about our position and status, hoping to get proper recognition for what we do. But Peter advises us to remember that God’s recognition counts more than human praise. God is able and willing to bless us according to his timing. Humbly obey God regardless of present circumstances, and in his good time – either in this life or in the next – he will lift you up.Carrying your worries, stresses, and daily struggles by yourself shows that you have not trusted God fully with your life. It takes humility, however, to recognize that God cares, to admit your need, and to let others in God’s family help you. Sometimes we think that struggles caused by our own sin and foolishness are not God’s concerns. But when we turn to God in repentance, he will bear the weight even of those struggles. Letting God have your anxieties calls for action, not passivity. Don’t submit to circumstances, but to the Lord who controls circumstances.I’m a believer. I’m not a doubter. The Word works in me. And at this moment, I humble myself under the mighty hand of God. I cast all my cares on Him. From this moment forward, I refuse to worry. Instead, I will pray. I will use my faith and believe, and He’ll exalt me over the problem and over the devil. For I belong to Jesus and He cares for me.IT IS REALLY ALL ABOUT PEACE --- Romans 34:14 says Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. --- Somehow we think that peace should come to us with no effort. We are to seek and pursue peace. A person who wants peace cannot be argumentative and contentious. Because peaceful relationships come from our efforts at peacemaking, work hard at living in peace with others each day. ---------- Romans 12:18 says If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. --- Recognize others, forgive others and love others in spite of their sins, just like Christ does for us.LOVE IS....... Love is patient, Love is kind. Love is not jealous, It does not put on airs, It is not snobbish. Love is never rude, It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong, But rejoices with the truth. It always protects, Always trusts, Always hopes, Always perseveres. Love never fails. ~ I Corinthians 13:4-8 ~
God Bless You, Your Family, Friends And All Your Loved Ones!
James 3:6-10...And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But, no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethen, these things ought not to be so. ---- The tongue can do terrilbe damage. Satan uses the tongue to divide people and families. Idle and hateful words are damaging because they spread destruction quickly. We shouldn't be careless about what we say, sure, we can apologize later, but the scars remain. Before you speak, remember that words are like fire -- you neither control nor reverse the damage they can do. I have seen first-hand how the tongue and words can destroy families; family members never speak again, family members turn each other against one another, family members are hurt and cold-hearted, this should not be. And we all call ourselves Christians. God is not pleased with this. When our speech is motivated by Satan it is full of: bitter envy, self-seeking, earthly concerns and desires, unspiritual thoughts and ideals, confusion, evil AND when our speech is motivated by God and His wisdom it is full of: love for others, peace, consideration for others, submission, sincerity, impartiality, righteousness. We have to begin to see people as those whom Christ died for. We have to see each other as God see's us. God loves us. Death and Life are in the power of the tongue.Living for the Lord and living life to my fullest potential, life is too short for dramatics.Everyone is welcome, 1st Saturday packing of c-rats (care packages) for our military troops, 11:00 am, Hilltop Church of Christ, 3000 Hilltop Mall Road, Richmond, CA 94806, any questions visit http://www.theirangels.org and email Marva at [email protected] Each month Their Angels come together to pack 300-350 care packages.3 Ways You Can Support Our Troops1.

I'd like to meet:
I would like to meet God one day, face-to-face. God has been so wonderful to me. He means everything to me. When I start to feel down I just start thinking about God, how He died for me, what He went through for me. God changes people, He changed me and I know He can and will do it. God will eventually move evil people from around us permanently. We don't have to worry about them. And, yes they come around because they need to know God. They have to choose to accept the Good News. We cannot focus on the negative, that is like giving the evil one a torch, we must focus on God and think on all the marvelous, wonderful things He has done in our lives and is still doing.Keep it positive or keep it moving.

Matthew 6:14-15...For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. ----- Jesus gives us a warning about forgiveness. If we refuse to forgive others, God will also refuse to forgive us. Why, you may say? Because when we don't forgive others, we are denying our common ground as sinners in need of God's forgiveness. God's forgiveness of sin is not the direct result of our forgiving others, but it is based on our realizing what forgiveness means (Ephesians 4:32 -- And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you). It is easy to ask God for forgiveness, but difficult to grant it to others. Whenever we ask God to forgive us for sin, we should ask ourselves. "Have I forgiven the people who have wronged me?"

Luke 6:37...Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. ----- A forgiving spirit demonstrates that a person has received God's forgiveness. If we are critical rather than compassionate, we will also receive criticism. We are to love others, not judge them.

Has to be Jesus Christ who died for me. Also, had it not been for my Mom, Dad and Grandparents/Ancestors I wouldn't be here, so thank you.

FOR YOUR READING:Your Final Authority Malachi 3:6....For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.The worlds order of things is unsure and indefinite. Desperate words of uncertainty are crying out daily from radio, tv and newspapers. Everything around us seems to be in turmoil.But praise God, if you are a believer you have something you can depend on. The unchanging Word of God.God has no double standard. He doesn't say one thing today and something else tomorrow. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.If you will make the Word the final authority in your life it will give you stability when everything else around you gives way. If you will let what God says settle the issues of life, you will be confident when others are confused, peaceful when others are under pressure. You will be overcoming when others are being overcome!What does it mean to make God's Word the final authority? It means believing what He says instead of believing what people say. It means believing what He says instead of believing what Satan says. It means believing what He says instead of what the circumstances say.Determine in your heart to do that today. Make up your mind to live by faith, not by sight. Fearlessly commit yourself to the authority of God's Word and there won't be anything in this old unstable world that can steal your security from you.
