God has not given us the spirit of fear. He has given us the spirit of Love and a competent mind.
Love conquers fear, because Love has Power, that creates a competent mind, that allows a person to make rational decisions and use righteous judgment to resolve or solve problems.
Through this God-given process, we are able to endure and persevere in times of hardships, and when facing a crisis. When our spirit is broken by hate, and heavy loads are placed upon us, we turn to God for strength in our storms of life. And we seek his Love to restore us to wholeness. He restores us with Hope. From within him we receive Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance as it is noted in Galatians 5:22.
Because of God's Love for us, we are able to have the patience to wait for his Power to restore us so that we are in control of our mind to over-power fear and to lead a successful life to meet our goals and create a greater opportunity filled with his blessings.
He has created us to be a victorious people. Therefore, we are able to create far greater opportunities through Love.
God gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength. (Isaiah 40:29)
When we are broken by the storms of life, God's Love restore us. We bow before him, in a humble spirit at his throne of grace, and ask in prayer for mercy and renewed strength. It is here that we find the needed strength to forgive those who have wronged us and the Power to Love.
Those who wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
Fear is powerless. It torments the mind and paralyzes the thought process. It causes panic. Thereby, leaving the person, feeling a sense of hopelessness and unwilling to trust others. It closes possibilities to allow for change.
The prophet Isaiah noted; Even the youth shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall. (Isaiah 40:30)
And when Jesus disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a spirit," and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid. (Matthew 14:26, 27)
Fear is a person's worst enemy; it causes panic, that results in making irrational decisions. Such behavior is based on poor judgment, that was made due to a lack of patience, to make an adequate investigation of the situation before proceeding. The outcome will create serious problems that can cause serious harm.
LOVE is the chain that binds us together.
Do not allow hate to separate us.
There is One God
One family
One faith
One world
We are not defined by belief or by faith nor religion.
We are the family of God.

I Remember Mother’s Love
I remember the kindness, and loving care of our mother
who took good care of our needs, and those of many others.
During the storms of life, it was our mother’s love, that
warmed our hearts and gave us hope to hold onto
our dreams, and keep the faith and endure the storm.
“This too shall pass." she said. "Be strong, God will see us
through this storm.” Mother’s prayers and her love, guided us when we were away
from home.
She taught us to be brave and strong.
Her prayers, kept us safe from harm during the storms, when we were away from home.

On holidays and Sundays at the dinner table;
I will always remember the laughter, during our conversations about past events and picnics;
and the things we shared during the delicious meals we prepared.

When friends and others met my mother at public outings,
they showed her great respect.
She was greeted with lots of hugs and handshakes with warm and kind words of,
“Thank you mam, for all the good things you do. I just wanted to say, I love you.”

This is the legacy of my loving mother.
Her precious memories and love will always be within my heart.
And her spirit will never depart.

In honor of all mothers on this special day

These are the Moments in Everyone's Life

There comes a moment in time in the life of everyone, that something will occur that is too much of a burden to carry. These are the moments when we seek a power that is beyond what any human can provide. Regardless of who we are, or what status we hold, no one is exempt.
In times of a serious sickness, tragedy or loss, we each has a desire and need to be comforted in our whole being, in a way which medicine cannot accomplish. And neither can it be provided by any physical means.
The spiritual being, understands that it has a creator. Therefore, in times of distress, it automatic seeks the comfort of its creator. In the book of Job, it is stated by the writer himself, who was terminally ill, "The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." In his moment of desperation, his deepest desire was to hear from God. And he sought him for comfort.
The Words of Job:
Even today is my complaint bitter, my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
Will he plead against me with his great Power?
No, but he would put strength in me.

Song: I Want to Feel Your Power Today
Description
I Want to Feel Your Power Today is a cry to God, when one is
in desperate need to hear from him. I have been in desperate need to hear from
God, many times. I was sitting at my keyboard, one day, and needing very much
to hear from him. What you hear, is unedited.

Selected for Best Screenplay 2013 At The Beverly Hills Film
Festival
The Price We Must Pay For Our Father’s Sins is Coming Soon
in PG-13 MOVIE
Jim Elliott is the head of a corrupt organization, where
crime and acts of terror are committed against humanity; nobody crosses him and
lives to talk about it.
He is a man of great influence in society, well educated in
criminal law, has wealth and power, and uses it all for evil means. His family
must pay the ultimate price for his behavior. Living in a free society, is not
one his family can ever experience because of his sins.
“Death is the inevitable price we must pay. Freedom is not a
thing my family nor myself has ever experienced."__ Tony Elliott
