If you do well, you can hold up your head; but if not, sin is a demon lurking at the door: his urge is toward you, yet you can be his master. Genesis 4:7
 
Genesis 4:1-15, 25, Psalm 50:1 and 8, 16bc-17, 20-21 & Mark 8:11-13
 
How many of you have ever your parents told you this exact same thing? “If you do well, you can hold up your head.” I remember my father telling me this and I often would run to him to tell him when I did something I was proud of but I avoided him when I did something I wasn’t proud of. I relish this line in Genesis because it tells us we are the master over sin who’s urge is toward all of humanity. He does lurk at every door, every corner and every click of the internet. Your love of loving Christ gives you the power to overcome any temptation by your faith, hope and love of living for His Truth.
 
“Sign Sign everywhere a sign. Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind. Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign.” The Five Man Electrical Band from Canada wrote this tune back in 1973 where it sold over 1 million copies and they were awarded a gold record. Jesus tells us in Mark 8 that Humanity needs no more signs of human origin even though the Pharisees wouldn’t believe any miracle He produced anyway. Believe in the sign of God’s presence in every mouth who speaks the Gospel. Believe in the signs of God’s work in homeless shelters around the world. Make up your own sign sharing His Good News with strangers passing you on a corner. The Signs of Christ are anywhere you want them to be. Just believe He is your reason for living and share your own signs of Him with humanity on a t-shirt.
 
So we ask in prayer: Dear LORD, I pray today for Helen Slocomb’s recovery. I pray today everyone shares Your Truth for St. Valentines Day in recognition of Your love of all Humanity. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed”

Run to Him

We run to Him with our head held high
We run to Him with our head held low
We run to Him to seek His Truth
We run to Him for forgiveness to know

He’s America’s Right- Red, White & Blue

He’s why we bleed Red
He’s why our clouds are white
He IS our sky so blue
He’s America’s Right

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins

My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do! I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650. I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect. I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain, Yours in Christ, Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
