MATTHEW 15:32 (2025)

MATTHEW 15:32

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, ‘I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.’

---- mine,

I always have compassion, and the weaker you are, the more needy, the more heartbroken, and in need of My mercy, forgiveness, healing, and love, the greater will be My outpouring of compassion and love. I AM your Healer, Restorer, and Provider, there is no need, that I cannot and will not meet. Bring all your troubles to Me and trust that I who love you will hear and answer you. Come to Me is an invitation I extend to all who are hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, dying, homeless, sick, sorrowful, or mourning, and I assure you I will meet every need, I will wipe away your tears, I will turn your sorrow to joy your mourning to laughter, and I will be your God and you will be Mine in time and in eternity. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, I have overcome the world.

MATTHEW 10:37-39 (2025)

MATTHEW 10:37-39

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

---- mine,

Who or what do you love more than Me? Who or what takes up all your thoughts in the day? What or who do you place before love for Me, worship of Me, desire for Me, and for all things holy good and perfect and true? On what do you fritter the precious hours of the day? Do your pastimes bring you closer to God and heaven or take you further away from Me and eternal life in the Kingdom of God? Do you complain about the daily troubles that you have to face in life, the challenges, sickness, sorrows, and difficulties of those you love that weigh down your soul and make you heavy-hearted, despondent and cause you to worry instead of turning trustfully to Me, bringing all your burdens to Me and trusting that all things work for good for those who love Me? Do you trust in My love for every member of your family and that I work for good in all circumstances of their lives? Are you seeking a life of ease, a life of comfort, and deliberately choose to stay uninvolved rather than leave the comfort of your home and the ease of your life instead of going out to seek those who would welcome you and would be grateful to you for just being there as they walk through their own valley of tears for just a little while? Choose to live for yourself and you will die. Choose to go out of yourself, die to yourself and you will live. I AM the God of contradictions those who are last will be first, those who serve will be served, those who empty themselves will be filled, and those who give up all will gain a Kingdom where your mourning will change to joy, tears to laughter, sorrow to laughter, and poverty of spirit to fullness and abundance.
