The life we lead in obedience to His Word no matter the cost.

If our God, whom we serve, can save us from the white-hot furnace and from your hands, O king, may He save us! But even if He will not, you should know, O king, that we will not serve your god or worship the golden statue which you set up. Daniel 3:17-18

Jesus then said to those Jews who believed in Him, “If you remain in My Word, you will truly be My disciples, and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you Free. Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. A slave does not remain in a household forever, but a son always remains. So if a son frees you, then you will truly be Free.” John 8:31-32, 34-36

Daniel 3:14-20, 91-92, 95, Daniel 3:52, 53, 54, 55, 56 & John 8:31-42

We learn early on in Scripture that God’s name is “I AM” giving description of Jesus expressing He is Who He is because His Father sent Him. There were only a few people who seemed to understand that Jesus was “the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” See Matthew 16:16. Just as Simon Peter our new Pope Francis understands Jesus is the Christ seeking “the poorest, the weakest, the least important” of humanity as He calls upon people everywhere especially the heads of state to protect life and offer hope by using “tenderness” of God’s love.

Our commitment to God rests in the belief that God’s Will be it burning in the furnace of sin or saved in the Blood of a Lamb will be loved by the life we lead in obedience to His Word no matter the cost. Think of the proclamation we heard today by three young men bound and thrown into a furnace of death for not worshipping a golden calf. “May He save us! But even if He will not, you should know, O king, that we will not serve your god.”

Today we find this in the slavery the Evil One has bonded the world in since he first killed denying His Father’s Truth stealing souls for eternal torment. We seem to be denying Satan’s grip on humanity as a God-fearing believers remain strong in God’s Word sharing the “freedom” Eternal Life renders by the grace God bestows on the faith, hope, love and charity we live in serving His Truth.

I know it’s hard but serve those around you in fellowship of God’s Truth. Console your friends as well as those you don’t know to combat Satan’s tricks with a deep breath of God’s Word. Learn to openly pray with one another by the hope you live in His Truth. Here is where real freedom embraces your soul with the tenderness of God’s love offering grace knowing forgiveness. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we live free in prayer with people we know and don’t know. Day 2 of a Novena for Joelle Metros. Day 8 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus AND Pope Francis. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca and Tom K. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 9 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer. LORD, grant us constancy that we may be willing to stand by those in need. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Romans 8:28

 

For My Word you deny in sin’s sting– John 8:31-38

 

Jesus gave Word to those who believe

Remain in My Word to totally conceive

A life of Discipleship serving those in need

Knowing the Truth allowing you to be set free

 

Some answered we are Abraham descendants

Never being enslaved to anyone in repentance

How can we be free if freedom is our dependence?

Christ reminded them they are slaves to sin’s riddance

 

A sinner is slave to sin without deliverance

Not remaining in a house of hindrance

As a Son remains by His Father’s credence

Remaining always in His House of Obedience

 

By the Son freedom can truly ring

Why as descendants of Abraham bring?

Trying to kill the Christ as you sing

For My Word you deny in sin’s sting

 

No room among you for the Father’s ring

God calls us to live in His Righteousness by His Word’s Decree.

He did not doubt God’s Promise in unbelief; rather, he was empowered by faith and gave glory to God and was fully convinced that what he had promised he was also able to do. That is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:20-22

After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions, and all who heard Him were astounded at His understanding and His answers. Luke 2:46-47

Second Samuel 7:4-5, 12-14, 16, Psalm 89, Romans 4:13, 16-18, 22 & Luke 2:41-51

Paul uses Abraham’s act of faith in God’s promises as an act of righteousness in his complete surrender to God by his fully expressive relationship with God’s Communion with Him using this act of righteousness as a model for all Christians to follow. Galatians Three verses six through nine reflect Abraham’s example for us to model in faith finding hope living love in God’s Righteousness. Amen. I often speak of this when people comment my displayed faith is strong and it is because God calls us to live in His Righteousness by His Word’s Decree knowing a communion with God that is personal and fulfilling.

“Thus Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Realize then that it is those who have faith who are children of Abraham. Scripture, which saw in advance that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, foretold the Good News to Abraham, saying, “Through you shall all the nations be blessed.” Galatians 3:6-9

We are promised all nations shall be blessed including up to you and I as well as our descendants of God’s History. We are given the joy of living in faith, hope and love by the righteousness of Truth we find in charity described in the act of living for God and God alone. You must commit to living today for His Truth seeking His Word as your road map to living in prayer encouraging you to share the Good News by a life believing in Him.

It’s easy to understand why Joseph and Mary felt a fright when separated from their Divine Son for it is a feeling you have of emptiness and sadness where something seems missing from your soul’s inclination by the act of sin separating you from God’s grace. The Devil is cunning and devious in his own right masking the Truth stealing your faith in God by the rush sin gives your brain and not your heart when living for self- void of God’s amazing grace. We too should be “astounded” by His answers directing us to love as He loves sharing every celebration and worry together as One. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to know faith and trust in You by our righteousness of Truth we live for you. Day 1 of a Novena for Joelle Metros. Day 7 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus AND Pope Francis. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca and Tom K. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 8 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer. LORD, grant us merciful hearts that we may bring your reconciliation and forgiveness to all. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

A life led mimicking the Light your path will forever be illuminated by.

I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life. John 8:12

Daniel 13:41-62, Psalm 23 & John 8:12-20

We seem to fail at understanding this that Christ is the Light of the World and will illuminate every aspect of your life by your surrender to His Truth. We seem to think the shadows of shifty living will protect us seeking not our Father’s Will but the will of self in darkness of un-truths. What you think can’t be seen in the dark comes out in the Light of Christ as imperfections we carry in grudges, habits and judgments that can be removed by allowing the skin of selfish desires to fall off taking on the new skin of Christ’s Truth. It is a daily aspect of reading your Bible in practice, praying in thought, action and deed and proclaiming the Gospel using words and most importantly by example of a life led mimicking the Light your path will forever be illuminated by.

I believe many of us feel shame when it comes to giving God our all because we seem to think God surely couldn’t forgive us for this or that when we purposely denied His Truth in acts of sin that horrify your heart even to this very moment. We must remember Christ’s own words of love that represents not judgment as the Father will judge upon facing His Truth in death but the open arms of love embraced for ALL sin languished, lived or lusted during a life of denial.  Jesus told the Pharisees, “You judge by appearances, but I do not judge anyone” ridding our guilt allowing Christ’s Arms of Forgiveness to swallow us whole. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today to live in Your Light as Children of God knowing forgiveness by faith and surrender. Day 6 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus AND Pope Francis I. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca and Tom K. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 7 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer. LORD, grant us willing spirits that we may be your instruments on earth. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Romans 8:28

 

The Real reason why I was born– John 8:12-20

 

The Pharisees opted not to listen

When Christ said He is the Light of the world

Follow Him out of darkness

The Light of Life forever unfurled

 

The Pharisees tested Him

Saying His testimony is His own

You can’t be verified as real

What You perform or what is shown

 

I do testify to Myself

Verified by miracles known

Only the Father knows Me

In My prayers He hears My moans

 

He knows where I am going

He is where I am from

You judge by appearance

I judge no one by His sum

 

Alone I judge not

By the Father I see the norm

Valid by His Truth in Word

The Real reason why I was born

How to ignite the Child of God by righteousness in Spirit.

The concern of the flesh is death, but the concern of the spirit is life and peace. For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God; it does not submit to the Law of God, nor can it; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness. Romans 8:6-10

“Master, the one you love is ill.” When Jesus heard this He said, “This illness is not to end in death,* but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him. So the disciples said to Him, “Master, if he is asleep, he will be saved.” But Jesus was talking about his death, while they thought that he meant ordinary sleep. So then Jesus said to them clearly, “Lazarus has died. And I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe. Let us go to him.” So Thomas, called Didymus,* said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go to die with him.” John 11:3-4, 11-16

Ezekiel 37:12-14, Psalm 130, Romans 8:6-11 & John 11:1-45

The horizon of life beckons us to know God’s Will living in the Spirit gaining all that belongs to Christ “because of righteousness.” Amen! We die the death from dwelling in “stench” from sin that Jesus waited two days to prove He could raise the dead as well as rid the horrendous smell of rotting flesh. “I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe.” Even after following Jesus the Disciples still missed the point sometimes Jesus often answered in Parables.

We too find this reality in our lives when we allow the race of life to push aside the spirit for sensations opting for flesh crumbling the foundation of God’s being.  The “Law of God” ask us to rid our “hostility” towards ridding our ability to please God separating us from His grace of Truth. You too can be “alive in righteousness” by the life you lead in His Spirit killing off the sin of flesh and fantasy. We must be willing as “Thomas, called Didymus” said, “Let us also go to die with him.” Are you willing to die for Jesus to be alive in righteousness? Or will you rot in the flesh of death? Amen.

These last three days I’ve been in Orlando attending the American Montessori Society 2013 Annual Conference titled, “Sustaining the Light in Every Child.” This is my first for a vocation I undertook almost five years ago and it surely won’t be my last. The desire and determination I have witnessed in countless people across the world seeking to teach tolerance and tenacity while engaging children to be tender and total as Beacon of Light for the world has reenergized my desire to love each and every child as a Light of Hope for the world. Today my poem reflects the keynote address of Dr. Edward Hallowell titled, “Igniting Every Child’s Full Potential- The Five Steps of Excellence.” I pray you’ll enjoy this amazing journey of every child written in rhyme revealing how a child connects to life through connection, play, practice, progress and recognition.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today live in Your Spirit ridding the stench of death in sin. Day 5 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus AND Pope Francis I. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca and Tom K. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 6 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer. LORD, grant us strength of purpose that we may faithfully bear our crosses each day. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Romans 8:28

 

In Honor of Dr. Edward Hallowell- His Life in the Five Steps of Excellence

 

Igniting Every Child’s Full Potential

 

Feel free to daydream

Go wherever you want to go

Happiness of childhood’s mind

Myself permission to eternally grow

 

There is a myth of what children need

Contrary to evidence we seem

To forget what’s True in learning

Forgetting God Who allows us to dream?

 

Children to do best in life

By what they do in their childhood

Blindly embracing the fallacy

Ambition is not wrong its selfish livelihood

 

The race to the top is not what’s education

Do all you can do to ignite

The passion in every child agreed

Purity models disable children’s might

 

Predicting a great life

Is not the SAT scored alert

It’s not a resume to list

Predictions given in curiosity to flirt

 

Do as you are told

Number one at giving

Not happy or fulfilled

Letting die the force of living

 

Having children was a surprise

Knowing the Harvard misery

Promote joy was absent

Learning Montessori

 

Five Steps to the model

Cycle of excellence to connect and play

Practice to progress to acclaim

Mastery recognition at the end of the day

 

Aruba’s beach I left

To learn with you today

Life’s expectations

Joy in life by the process I laid

 

Dad was tragically mental

Came home for leave to fray

I will kill your desire to kill me

Mom made love to create me he obey

 

Connection connection connection

Powerful force to fulfill

Joy is driven by connection

Disconnection recluse the pill

 

Knowing it is true

Un-acted afraid and blue

At most scared to accrue

Truth is love the best to prove

 

Every child needs connection

My mother’s eyes brought these smiles

Never ever giving anything but love

Boarding school brought release complied

 

In an odd funny brave

My dad gave the feeling of love’s way

Maybe not given normally

My dad’s demeanor was silent love rave

 

The arm of safety in first grade

Held me by connection’s right

Problems dissolved in loving

Me the child Mrs. Eldridge my light

 

The choir drew me

The club I loved to say

Connection to God freely

Safety His Spirit to pray

 

Connection is not theology

Inviting the kids to the feast

Allows for joy to celebrate

The love of growing in peace

 

I feel the strength of connection

Awareness of my past

Lacretia my great grandmother’s life

Open up the feast to last

 

Masters of the step of injection

Asking questions by safety felt

Mostly men who enjoyed teaching

Activity lights up the imagination belt

 

Permission to play and be myself

A kid fitting not in a mold

Round tables were a natural invitation

To discuss the experimentation not scold

 

Turning my life into a novel

Fred my teacher asked me to be

Challenged to practice of progress the novel

Senior English prize not impossible to see

 

Recognition can come in the arm

Of the teacher whose hug to breathe

Igniting Every Child’s Full Potential

Making public the progress to seethe

Not wavering constantly but constantly seeking His forgiveness.

Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will be of David’s family and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived? John 7:42

Jeremiah 11:18-20, Psalm 7 & John 7:40-53

The Davidic Lineage explains the roots of our Savior’s family foretold by the Prophets of Old. If we look at the Gospel of Matthew, we’ll find this Davidic Heritage listed in detail describing every family member back to Abraham. Our secular world will try and convince you that too much time has separated us from this actual birth of Christ denying His Sovereign Right over the Universe living with distant realizations offered in scientific form.

I live my life in belief of this Truth not wavering constantly but constantly seeking His forgiveness living a life in faith He is God’s Only Son, beaming of hope from the depths of my soul in surrender by obedience to His Love and sharing the Love His Truth Commands all mankind to embrace sustaining life in harmony. I pray my love of His Word can be shared in brevity stirring your being to action of practice, prayer and preaching living in submission to His Omnipotence of Certainty. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we share the love Jesus brings in His Divine Heritage of Abraham. Day 4 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus AND Pope Francis I. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 5 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer.

He remained hidden for a time to fulfill God’s Divine Plan for Humanity.

Whoever speaks on his own seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of the One who sent him is truthful, and there is no wrong in him. John 7:18

So Jesus cried out in the temple area as He was teaching and said, “You know Me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on My own, but the One Who sent Me, Whom you do not know, is True. I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.” John 7:28-29

Wisdom 2:1, 12-22, Psalm 34 & John 7:1-30

They thought they’d deny Him ultimately learning He could not be denied for God was in Him as He was God giving His obedience to the Father’s Will of harboring sins by the death and resurrection He accomplished as the Christ Himself. Assuredly He scolded them saying “I did not come on My own, but the One Who sent Me, Whom you do not know, is True.”

I am reminded something my mother has shared with a time or two is that the truth hurts sometimes but cannot be overlooked or forgotten for in Truth the mysteries of God come True whether we want to believe it or not by death to meet your One and Only Maker where He will judge you accordingly. Will He recognize you or cast you into the depths of torment? Will He say well done or hide His face from you?

There was a point where Jesus hid His face to fulfill the Will of God continuing to teach the Kingdom was at hand using Authority that amazed failing to see the Divine Property of Christ. “He himself also went up, not openly but [as it were] in secret. The Jews were looking for him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?” The entire chapter seven of John tells the story of patience Christ instills as He remained hidden for a time to fulfill God’s Divine Plan for Humanity. Life must be patient in the works you live in Him. Patience to embrace. Patience to gaze. Patience to lay claim to God’s Love we remain. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we know Your Son by our surrender to living His love in patience. Day 3 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus AND Pope Francis I. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 4 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer. LORD, grant us discernment that we may see as You see, not as the world sees.

Romans 8:28

 

The Son Who taught us to repent -John 7:1-18

 

The Feast of Tabernacles would begin

Not with Christ His Disciples did grin

Judea would have to wait publicly known

Work in secret to manifest the world shown

 

These brothers denied the Christ

Sufficing for sins unless your life denies

His Time was not near He would cry

Disciples time must be always to try

 

The world doesn’t hate you as it does Me

Christ is the One humanity’s evil disagree

He would not go up to the feast at first to see

He time would be fulfilled at the Will of God to be

 

As His brothers did go up to the feast

Christ Himself followed unrecognizably

As it were in secret to live in God’s Degree

As they murmured He is good or bad asking “Where is He?”

 

None would speak openly afraid of the Jews

Finally opening up Jesus did ensue

To teach them with Authority from Scriptures accrued

How does He know them without reading them True?

 

His teaching wasn’t His own but the One who sent

He the Christ as the Son Who taught us to repent

Not speaking on His own but by the One Who felt

The Truth He would fulfill we must all live not to regret

God has instilled in our being the Grace of Charity to live His Works.

The works that the Father gave Me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on My behalf that the Father has sent Me. Moreover, the Father who sent Me has testified on My behalf. But you have never heard His voice nor seen His form, and you do not have His Word remaining in you, because you do not believe in the One whom He has sent. John 5:36b-38

Exodus 32:7-14, Psalm 106 & John 5:31-47

We must embrace the Will of God as the direction He wants us to go not by our own desires but that of God’s Truth, which directs us to believe in the silent voice of God’s Omnipotence of Life. By keeping His word in you, you experience the Will of God in every step you take not seeking selfish desires of the heart but living in God’s love intertwined in the very being of your soul.

Keep Him there by loving His Truth every step of every day by practice of living God’s Word. We do this by taking upon ourselves the glory God has instilled in our being as the Grace of His Truth through prayer that is constant in good and bad situations remembering to place our Trust in His Truth. Be not afraid of sharing what Truth and Love instills in your daily life as Children of God to live His Works of Charity. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to hear Your Son’s Word in our hearts and actions testifying to Your Grace. Our prayers are with Pope Francisco. Day 2 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 3 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer.

Blindly denying the testament of Might– John 5:31-47

Testimony always True

Not on His own truce

Untruths can’t be used

 

Another testifies to Him

True Words from He Who knew

Emissaries to John grew

His Truth He testified as proof

 

Human evidence He accepts not

His Words allows you to be saved

John was burning lamp paving the Way

Rejoicing for a while in His light each day

 

Christ’s testimony greater to obey

Works accomplished for the Father to pray

Christ did perform works to amaze

Proving the Father sent Him to save every stray

 

You never heard His voice He’d say

Not seeing His form to eternally relay

Denying His Word in your heart to praise

Surely not the One Who denies you to stay

 

You search the Scriptures looking for eternal life

Blindly denying the testament of Might

Christ’s behalf resounding in Word

Not coming to Him Who you’ve never understood

We honor Christ when we act on His Word abiding in Eternal Life.

Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears My Word and believes in the One Who sent Me has Eternal Life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life. John 5:23b-24

Isaiah 49:8-15, Psalm 145 & John 5:17-30

We are faced with honoring our God or honoring the joys God established in His Great Power by denying His Truth in living for the things of this world. We learn in our desire to please God we must honor the Son’s Work first by the life we lead in preparation of knowing His Deeds accomplished in His New Covenant of Love celebrated in prayer the world over proclaiming the Good News with warmth in their heart. Our life with God lives in the Son for all those who honor The Trinity enjoying the grace God bestows on those who give their all to living Truth that have  “greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.”

You can find these amazing “God instances” at work in you and around you everywhere you go by just saying the Name of Jesus. I can see the faithful now across the world nodding their head as they say the Name of Jesus. Do you? Many Cradle Catholics were taught to prostrate themselves every time they hear or use the Name of Jesus living in full honor of Christ to prepare for the Coming of the LORD! We learn to live in God and not just for God by the waking desires of pleasing His charitable heart. We honor Christ when we act on His Word abiding in Eternal Life. Listen to Jesus, “Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears My Word and believes in the One Who sent Me has Eternal Life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life.” Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we honor Your Son in everything we do. Day 1 of a Novena of prayers for New Jersey Emmaus. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 2 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer. LORD, give us the grace to pray aloud Your Son’s Name of Jesus.

Mercy comes from stepping out for God living in charity forgoing judgment.

Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your mat, and walk.” Immediately the man became well, took up his mat, and walked. John 5:8-9

Ezekiel 47:1-9, 12, Psalm 46 & John 5:1-3, 5-16

There is an obvious parallel between sin and suffering explaining not the ultimate result in a silent breath of God’s Divine Judgment removing all veils foreseeing the end result of death. The Pool of Bethesda offered something most people believed they needed to be cured and that was the direct connection to God by an angel who reportedly would come down and stir the water creating enough belief in individuals to overcome the bondage of whatever disease afflicted them to be healed by being the first one in the water after the angel stirred the pool. It didn’t matter an intermittent spring in the pool bubbled up occasionally in a natural sense blinding the real cause of the water’s movement for in belief we can overcome anything by simply saying “yes” I believe.

Jesus can heal anything by belief in the One and Only Son of Redemption curing our ailments and selfish desires of sin allowing life to have meaning, mercy and movement establishing practice, prayer and proclamation. A life of meaning comes from serving God living in faith, hope and love. A life of mercy comes from stepping out for God living in charity forgoing judgment to help those in need. Here we find the movement God has instilled in our heart to be a Child of God for the glory of God the Father. They will see your healing came from hope not hatred mercy not mammon living in love not lust. Proclaiming your love of Christ allows more love to be instilled in a world where love seems absent for longing of self not God. Represent God sharing the gift of His Grace. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today we always believe Jesus can heal by our trust in His Truth. Day 9 of a Novena for the completion of Carolina Emmaus #2. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. Day 1 of a Novena of prayers for Wayne battling cancer. LORD, grant us the gift of honesty that we may not fear to speak the Truth even when difficult. I pray for Chris Stone and his family who my poem is in honor of today. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Thomas Cruz†Wiggins

Romans 8:28

 

Jesus Christ I now confess– In Honor of Christ Stone

 

Catch us some fish

From His Works we wish

Stone of Chris to list

Repented sins of grit

 

Keeping us from God

The mask of our façade

Separated from God’s grace

Returning to Christ to taste

 

Steeler Country my start

Catholic to never part

High school was a fart

Drafted choosing the Air Force’s heart

 

I never knew how blessed

A life above the rest

A son I was given lest

Pride my soul did nest

 

My mask removed to press

Jesus Christ I now confess

Wigs Word of God Today 3-11-2013 

Enjoy today’s study in a podcast at www.cruz-wiggins.com

Evidently bringing God to the forefront of our lives.

So that my glory may praise You and not be silent. O LORD, my God, forever will I give You thanks. Psalm 30:13

For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place. John 4:44

Isaiah 65:17-21, Psalm 30 & John 4:43-54

Praising God has become an absent celebration seemingly reclusing itself to a Sunday or Wednesday night service for most leaving behind the beauty of the Eucharist enjoyed daily in all Universal Churches  across the world. The Creator of all wants moment-by-moment praise leaving not His Word on a coffee table or stuck on a library shelf. You should praise Him from the moment you arise to the second you dream of His grace not worrying what others think living not to judge but to nudge the people around you known and unknown to act on Christ’s Word of Truth.

Obviously the same reason we call them the Gospels. Amen. I know, it seems people don’t admire God anymore where the norm is leaving Him out of our public lives not taught to our children but ignored silently disgracing God’s Commandments by alluring smell of excess. We allow our children to wear too little too soon obviously believing it’s okay to wear too little at some point in their lives teaching them promiscuity will lead them to God knowingly forgetting it disrespects God’s Truth where children learn it’s cool not to act in couth.

The place we need Jesus the most, in the home, has become the native place Christ is substituted with a flat-screen TV spanning across lives of selfish desires leaving the Wonder of Life regaled to a glass case settled amongst family photos. We are asked today to give God thanks displaying Him in our lives by words unspoken by example as well as words spoken in Truth evidently bringing God to the forefront of our lives sharing the Redemption offered to the world. God wants us to share the glory we live in our surrender to His Will of faith, hope and love. Be not silent in your attempt. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray today You LORD give us strength to praise You anytime and anywhere. Day 8 of a Novena for the completion of Carolina Emmaus #2. Praying for Kairos. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has constant prayers. LORD, grant us Your sense of righteousness that we may never cease to work to bring about the justice of the Kingdom that You promised. I pray for David Foltz and his family who my poem is in honor of today. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Thomas Cruz†Wiggins

Romans 8:28

 

Miracle fall my right– In Honor of David Foltz

 

Here and why

Heart did deny

Why I’d fly

Life to cry

 

Arrived and alive

Should have died

God’s Peace applied

Broken body arrived

 

Wife did vie

Why to try?

Surgeons to pry

Prayer to abide

 

Healed on High

Prayer presence comply

Wife’s warmth ignite

Christ’s Healing Light

 

Miracle fall my right
