Wig’s Word of God Today 2-2-2011

The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon Him.  Luke 22:40

Malachi 3:1-4, Psalm 24:7, 8, 9, 10, Hebrews 2:14-18 & Luke 2:22-40 or 2:22-32
 
I can only imagine what it must of been like to be a childhood friend of Jesus. Watching Him grow and becoming filled with wisdom studying the Jewish writings of the day. It must have been hard to keep up with Him. Our spiritual walk with Jesus is much in the same way; slow cookin’ if you will. It takes time to get to know the One only True God by living the Gospel of Christ Jesus. As you grow with God, your self reliance becomes less and less until one day you realize that everything you do is for the LORD.
 
This loss of self you experience becomes a time for true celebration for now you truly know that only God’s Will is what you live for. A life of Christ comes into focus and your complete surrender and dependence on His Truth gives you strength and power through the Holy Spirit. You might not truly see His Strength by His Spirit until then and it may take years to accomplish but your love of loving Christ will come into clear focus by practice, prayer and proclamation. Stay patient with others and remember how God has dealt with you over the years; with compassion and patience.
 
So we ask in prayer: Dear God, we pray we may always walk in patience of growing in wisdom with You. Teach us to be humble filled with faith, hope, charity and love. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
Romans 8:28
 
Redemption Favor For All to Be
 
A Messenger of love has come
A New Covenant for all to see
To the Temple did He go
Proclaiming Redemption for you and me
 
Sharing His Blood and Flesh for all
Sins dying a complete death in thee
No longer a slave to demonic passions
Angels to guide you to see
 
The wisdom of God growing
From a sinless life indeed
Glory for all the people
Redemption favor for all to be

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
