O how wonderful God is to have established His kingdom in His children, to have given His purpose to His offspring. We are as blossoming trees, waiting for that moment when we will change into what God has planned for us to become.
“Your way, O God, is holy.
What god is great like our God?
You are the God who works wonders;
you have made known your might among the peoples.”(Psalms 77:13-14)
Blessed be God, for His name is holy, pure, and faithful. The earth bears His glory and the stars bow to His presence. No one is greater than our God. He has given His Son for our salvation. No greater sacrifice is there than for Him to have given His life for us.
What manner of people ought we to be if our God has planted eternity in our hearts? We should be as He is, loving and forgiving toward those who hate us. They know not what they do. We ought to love the poor, bless the homeless and give to those who are wanting.
Show mercy to the proud; they have their reward, while we have yet to receive ours on the day of judgment. Bless those who curse us, for their time will come to kneel before God and give an account for their deeds.
No god is great like our God.
Looking to God 
Amen. ❤️❤️
May God’s peace be with you always!
No god is great like our God, Holy, Mighty, and full of Mercy. May we live to reflect His Love. Amen 🙏
May all the world know who God is once Jesus returns. On that day, all false gods will be as dust. God bless you, Willie!
Amen
This is so true. Sadly, our world worships and pursues many false gods.
One day, all will worship God, the creator. God be with you, Anna.
Thank you, Jack. May He be w/ you, too.
Wonderful website. I love your message.
May God bless you, Heather.
“…like blossoming trees…” …beautiful Life.
I love the psalms and the lessons we chant.
Our God is great and awesome. There is none like him.
How do we plant a prayer ministry in a church where no one seems to have time to be able to come to some sort of agreement as to time, place
This is serious question based on your remark that the Lord makes is flourish ad trees…. perhaps you and some of your readers have had similar problems. How do we make a pear (prayer) tree flourish.? Blessings
Indeed, no God is as great as our God, bright blessings to you ❤️
Great is our God. May He bless you always!
A great post, well said, thank you
May God’s salvation be upon you always, Joanne!
This is so wonderfully meaningful, Jack. Be blessed. 🙏
Blessed are you, T.W.!
😊 🌞
Amen 🙏
May God be with you!
Thank you! You as well.
Amen, Jack Flacco. There is no other god like our God. If I want to be forgiven, I must forgive. It’s easier to do that when I stay away from those who are malicious and keep trying to hurt me. As scripture says, “Recompense to no man evil for evil.” I have neighbors (a married couple) whom I have engaged in unhealthy behavior with. When I let go of the world and have no expectations, I don’t get so worked up about them. But we do now have security cameras to deal with all the spiteful and malicious behavior, and I have told the husband off a number of times. It was not pretty and he shut his mouth.
I have documentation of all they have done to our property, but I have not filed a report. I know how much I have done in my life that needs forgiveness, so I just ignore them now and don’t give them any credit and mind my own business. Minding my own business and not being a gossip is a good thing. I hope I’m not being a gossip on here. I’ve had to forgive the trauma I endured as a toddler to let go of that neighbor who triggered it again, too. Letting go of the world and having no expectations of it being ‘good’ helps, too. We live in a fallen world, and it’s not going to get any better. In fact, it’s only going to get worse. It’s prophesied.
Thank you, Jack, for your posts. They are always timely and good. We know the end of the wicked. We can pray for them, though, because I really don’t want anyone to go to hell. That would be true hatred, to wish that on others, though I have told that neighbor to “go to hell, because that’s the direction you’re headed.” He shut his mouth then, too. I need to pray for them more….

Sue, continue to forgive and live a peaceable life as Jesus would. Great is your reward in heaven, waiting for you on that day when we all shall stand before the Great God. Our comfort is in Him. God bless you always. Peace be with you.
Thank you, Jack. Peace is the only way. So comforting to think I might have a reward in heaven. I sure don’t deserve one. That touched my heart. I need to love my enemies. I’ve had a few, but then I haven’t been a saint myself. That is the old nature that I am slowly putting off. It doesn’t pay to go back to it. God bless you always, Jack, and may the God of all peace comfort you also and keep you from the evil one and his followers….

Jack Flacco, I’ve been thinking about my first comment to this post of yours and need to make another comment. I need to not talk about other people in a negative way. It is best to ignore people rather than engage in bad behavior with them or talk about them. I saw on a church marquee once “A grudge is the heaviest thing to carry.” Hatred is too. The Bible equates hatred with murder. We are supposed to love our enemies.
Thank you for your always-uplifting posts. God bless you.

We should be as He is, loving and forgiving toward those who hate us. They know not what they do.
Sorry but everyone I know that hates me takes the greatest delight in making me suffer whenever and however they can
Great will be your reward, Joseph.
Oh I know that brother
But it also is a great reminder that we are to suffer for Christ as He suffered for us and that if the world hates us to remember it hated Jesus first. This comes from the Bible
The Bible tells us not to love the world, because the world is passing away. I have had hopes and dreams that were dashed, and I have had to let go of expectations and coveting. Learning to be content helps me let go of some of those dreams. They were my agenda, not God’s agenda for me.
I stay away from people who are deliberately malicious, including family members and people in certain groups. That has helped me to forgive. I don’t give people the opportunity to hurt me like I used to, and I don’t try to be too friendly so they can walk all over me. We are not called to be doormats or to open ourselves to attack. When we recognize the ungodly, we can walk away in love instead of casting our pearls before swine. We aren’t supposed to have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11
