Wig’s Word of God Today 12-7-2010
In just the same way, it is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost. Matthew 18:14
Isaiah 40:1-11, Psalm 96:1-2, 3 and 10ac, 11-12, 13 & Matthew 18:12-14
The prophet Isaiah describes the return of those exiled from Babylon to Jerusalem and we see a parallel here from Matthew 3:3 of John the Baptist crying out in the desert “repent the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The center of Christ’s mission was to help the poor realize that they are just as important in the kingdom of heaven as the rich. Christ came to the earth to help those who are lost as we learned here in the parable of the lost sheep. Do you not rejoice when you help one lost brother or sister find their way back to Christ Jesus? Christ explains it is not the will of the Father for anyone to be lost and not be saved by the grace of God. Just by helping one lost soul seek Christ in your eyes, your hands and in your feet, you establish the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to come upon this lost soul and be saved by the grace of God. Love your love of Christ and help the lost sheep to find their way home.
And so we pray: Heavenly Father, we pray today for lost sheep of the world. May we be the eyes that greet the lost with the open arms of Christ. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
God bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
Romans 8:28
He Expects Us to Seek Them
Eternal comfort we find
Guilt lost in the dust
Crying out in the desert
Salvation in the God of Trust
You may sing a new song
The Lord is gracious and True
His rule upon the earth
Announced in Salvation’s due
Can one of ninety-nine go astray?
The Will of God says no
He expects us to seek them
Christ’s Salvation they must know

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
