GOD'S WORD TODAY

---- My Own,

Remember that you are dust 

and unto dust you will return. 

Recall all the hours in the day you spend

pandering to the flesh and succumbing 

to the desires of the senses of 

your corruptible body which will decay. 

Harness your will so it follows the inspirations of My Spirit. 

Your soul is housed in your body

 and someday your immortal soul will leave it 

to go to the place determined 

by what you did and what you did not do 

choosing  eternal death 

rather than eternal life for your soul. 

GOD'S WORD TODAY

---- Mine, 

Keep this truth ever before you. 

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, 

that can separate you from Me. 

No power can destroy the saving work 

that I have accomplished on the Cross. 

You belong to Me irrevocably. 

However, you and you alone have the power 

to choose sin and death over Me and life. 

Your free will alone can separate us 

if this is what you choose. 

You alone can choose life or death. 

Choose life!

GOD'S WORD TODAY

---- My Own, 

Do not let fear and doubt overwhelm you – 

do your part and trust me to do Mine. 

I have promised to be with you always. 

You are not alone. 

Use the gifts I have given you 

and have confidence in yourself. 

Glorify Me and all will be well with you.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

---- My Own, 

Before you were conceived I knew you. 

I called you by your name. You are Mine. 

My Father has plans for you and if you are faithful 

they will lead you from this life to eternity. 

In My Father’s house there are many mansions 

and I have prepared a place for you 

so where I am you too will be. 

Remain in My love. 

What does it profit a man if he gains the world 

but loses his soul? 

Strive to be holy and perfect 

especially when it requires you to die to yourself.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

---- My Own,

Like Martha you are worried and distracted about many things. 

I give you the same advice I gave her. 

Be like Mary and choose the better part. 

I invite you to sit at My feet and listen to Me. 

It is better to have a loving heart than a critical spirit.

GOD'S WORD TODAY

--- My Own, 

You belong to Me. You are Mine. 

God loves you. If you truly understood what it means 

to have God love you as I do, 

your whole life would be transformed. 

You know it in your head 

but you have not fully realized it in your heart. 

If you did then your life and your will 

would be truly aligned to Mine. 

Think about this. Meditate on it. Pray about it. 

Ask for this grace 

and when you begin to embrace suffering 

without complaining 

you will begin to understand.
