This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us, that He has given us of His Spirit

Wig’s Word of God Today 1-5-2011

This is how we know that we remain in Him and He in us, that He has given us of His Spirit. 1 John 4:13
 
They had all seen Him and were terrified. But at once He spoke with them, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” Mark 6:50

1 John 4:11-18, Psalm 72:1-2, 10, 12-13 & Mark 6:45-52
 
A battle cry for all Humanity: “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!” If we know He is in us, then we know His Spirit will guide us to have courage for anything we undertake. “Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God.” 1 John 4:15 From this perfect love we can drive out all fear from our minds and hearts and become one with God to accomplish His Will in anything we undertake. “There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18
 
I can imagine as the Bible teaches us that it was very hard for even the Apostles to see and believe Jesus was the Son of God. “They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.” Mark 6:52 Jesus just fed 5000 people from five loaves of bread and two fish and then He walked on water, how would you feel? Scared? Liberated? How many of us have accepted Christ as our Savior and received graces immediately? In loving your love of Christ, you can expect an abundance of grace in your life. It’s when you experience the problems of living, does your true faith become tested and then we heed His words, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!”
 
And so we pray: Heavenly King, Almighty Father, we pray today to be courageous by our surrender in Your Son’s Truth. Guide is to show this courage by our practice, by our prayer and by our proclamation. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
 
God Bless,

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
