My Best Friend

-
Here's the scripture for today

The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.
PROVERBS 18:24 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/pro.18.24.AMP

NIV translation
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/pro.18.24.NIV

The MSG translation
Friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family.
Proverbs 18:24 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/pro.18.24.MSG

TPT version
Some friendships don’t last for long, but there is one loving friend who is joined to your heart closer than any other!
Proverbs 18:24 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/pro.18.24.TPT

For me, my closest to my heart friend is Jesus... He's the only friend I can continuously talk to from the time my eyes pop open until tooth picks can't even hold them up any longer (ha,ha,ha), the only friend I will sing in the shower to, the only friend I can tell anything to, my only friend I can put all of my complete faith in for the best, the worst, and everything in between!

God is very amazingly awesome! Now let me ask you, who was your first thought when you read the above scriptures (honestly)?

Much love and may peace you

Happy Sunday y'all! Here's today's scripture: Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13:8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.13.8.AMP NIV translation Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.13.8.NIV MSG translation Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself. Hebrews 13:7‭-‬8 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/heb.13.7-8.MSG Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/heb.13.8.TPT It's so great to me, very comforting, to know that God really is always the same! You don't have to worry abo

Ecclesiastes 12 2020

  Hey y’all, and welcome to this month’s Ecclesiastes blog post.   This month is chapter 12 and talks about obeying God’s commandments before your youth leaves you.     ECCLESIASTES 12 1 Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”  2 Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky.  3 Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop. Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly. 4 Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint. 5 Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry abo

Hey y'all! I pray everyone is doing great! The scripture I'm using for this week's Teaching Tuesday Thread is a perfect reminder for our behavior not just for this time of year, but all year round. But love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High; because He Himself is kind and gracious and good to the ungrateful and the wicked. Luke 6:35 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/luk.6.35.AMP So when we, followers of Christ Jesus, talk about love it also includes those we'd rather not be nice to. I'm talking about people that aren't nice to us, right down mean people, even the wicked. Now let's make clear that I'm not saying let them treat you anyway they want, no! I am saying though that we do need to show kindness and giving without expecting anything in return. I'll be the first to adm
