🕊️ From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”

But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. 

Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” 🕊️

Matthew 16:21-28

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride, Amy!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter, Selah!

All that I am and all I possess, they are blessings from You O Lord!

Thank You!

Heavenly Father, I believe! 🕊️

I believe on the last day, many amazing things will come to pass, one in which the dead in Christ Jesus, Your Son, will rise to meet with You Lord, up in the heavens, may I walk until then, filled with Your Holy Spirit, Your Teacher, guiding my way, the path I take, filled with Your light O Lord, and protected by Your Angels.

May I put on Your full armor O Lord, may I walk in the light, as Your child of the light. 

May the witness of my Faith light the path set before me, my loved ones, and all those around me who walked in darkness, may their paths be filled with Your light O Lord, as they come into the Faith, shared with the brethren, the redemption of all our souls. 

Father, I lift up All my children before You this day, All my grandchildren and their little ones, may they each encounter Your Holy Spirit, and sense Your presence, working in their lives and keeping them safe, may they increase in Faith daily. 

Lord, may I complete all the work You have for me today, the care and witness I am to share with others, may I shine with the light You placed within me, in and through all I say and do, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Praise Yahweh!
