God made you stronger ....

God didn't make you stronger than others 

so you could hurt them. 

God made you stronger than others 

so you can help them.

From all their distress God rescues the just

Psalm 34:1-6

I will bless the Lord at all times;

his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul makes its boast in the Lord;

let the afflicted hear and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me,

and let us exalt his name together!

I sought the Lord, and he answered me,

and delivered me from all my fears.

Look to him, and be radiant;

so your faces shall never be ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,

and saved him out of all his troubles.

God's Will is always for the BEST

GOD can RAISE someone 

from NOTHING into SOMETHING 

and vice-versa.

GOD is the one who created us

in our mother's womb,

and He knows what's BEST for us.

Whatever His will may be,

it is always for our BEST.

And I say AMEN 

to whatever His Will may be for me.

Jeremiah 29:11-14

For I know the plans I have for you,� declares the Lord, �plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,� declares the Lord, �and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,� declares the Lord, �and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.�

God Of Mercy and Compassion

God of mercy and compassion, look with pity upon me
Father let me call Thee Father 'tis this child returns to Thee

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

By my sins I have deserved death, and endless misery
Hell with all its pains and torments, for all eternity.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

By my sins I have abandoned, right and claim to Heaven above
Where the Saints rejoice for ever, in a boundless sea of love.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

See our Savior bleeding, dying, on the cross of Calvary
To that cross my sins have nailed Him, yet He bleeds and dies for me.

Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy, let me not implore in vain
All my sins I now detest them, never will I sin again.

"God always forgives!" ~ Pope Francis

Pope Francis again encourages us to go to confession. Some times it is hard, but that is part of the remedy.

Pope Francis said confession is not a judgement but a meeting with God who forgives all our sins, without exception. Basing his reflections on an extract from St Paul�s letter to the Hebrews, the Pope said our God forgives all our sins, always and without exception and He rejoices when somebody asks him for pardon. This God who pardons us, he continued, choose Jesus to set up a new pact with humanity and the cornerstone of this pact is forgiveness for our sins. 

�First of all, God always forgives us. He never tires of this. It�s we who get tired of asking for forgiveness. But He does not tire of pardoning us. When Peter asked Jesus: �How many times must I forgive? Seven times?� � �Not seven times: seventy times by seven.� Namely always. That�s how God forgives us: always. But if you have lived a life full of so many sins, so many bad things, but in the end, a bit repentant, you ask for forgiveness, He will immediately pardon you! He always pardons us.�

Pope Francis said a doubt can arrive in a person�s heart over how far God is prepared to forgive us. But, he stressed, all you have to do is repent and ask for forgiveness and you don�t have to pay because Christ has already paid on our behalf.

The Pope went on to describe how God rejoices when somebody asks for forgiveness and at the same time He �forgets� or wipes out from his memory our sins. The reason for this, he explained, is because what matters for God is for us to meet with him. Confession is not a judgement but a meeting with God.

God is waiting for us, come back to the Lord

God is always waiting for us, come back to the Lord, for His goodness is immeasurable. God has been good and will always be good. He is forgiving and not vengeful of our sin, yet  He is full of mercy, compassion, and love. God is opening doors that we never dreamed possible, as we allow ourselves to arise, shine and let the glory of the Lord to touch and transform our lives. His attributes, His presence and His person will shine within and through us. Therefore, repent and be converted, so that all your sin will be taken away and we shall be refreshed by the Lord presence in our life once again.

John 8:12

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, �I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.�

Daniel 9:9

To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him.

Luke 15:1-10

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, �This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.�

3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 �Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn�t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, �Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.� 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

The Parable of the Lost Coin

8 �Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn�t she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, �Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.� 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.�

Romans 5:8

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Romans 6:23 

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

1 John 1:9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Matthew 11:29-30

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

1 John 3:1-10

3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil�s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God�s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God�s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

Hebrew 10:17
I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.
