John 3:16

A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner,
the people were in and out of the cold.
The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell
many papers.
He walked up to a policeman and said,
'Mister,
you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could
find a warm place to sleep tonight would you ?
You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and
down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight.
Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay.'



The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, 'You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say
John 3:16, and they will let you in.'
So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the
door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said,
'John 3:16.' The lady said, 'Come on in, Son.'
She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom
rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went
off. The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself:
John 3:16...I don't understand it, but it sure makes
a cold boy warm.



Later she came back and asked him 'Are you hungry ? '
He said, 'Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of
days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food,'
The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table
full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat
any more. Then he thought to himself:
John 3:16...Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure
makes a hungry boy full.



She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub
filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a
while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16...
I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy
clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my
whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in
front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.
The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room,
tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers
up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out
the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the
window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself: John 3:16 ...I don't understand it but
it sure makes a tired boy rested



The next morning the lady came back up and took him
down again to that same big table full of food. After he
ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom
rocker in front of the fireplace and
picked up a big old Bible.
She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face. 'Do you understand John 3:16 ?' she asked gently. He
replied, 'No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it
was last night when the policeman told me to use it,'
She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain
to him about Jesus. Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life to Jesus. He sat there
and thought: John 3:16 -- don't understand it, but it sure
makes a lost boy feel safe.



You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how
Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand
the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense
love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end.
I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living.


John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.



If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions .
Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.' Pass this on only if you mean it.



I do Love God . He is my source of existence.. He keeps
me functioning each and every day. Phil 4:13 If you love
God and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he
has done for you, send this on.
Take 60 seconds & give this a shot !
Let's just see if Satan stops this one.
All you do is:
1) Simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this,
'Father, God bless this person in whatever it is that You know
he or she may be needing this day ! '



2) Then send it on to ten other people.
Within hours ten people have prayed for you,
and you caused a multitude of people to pray to God for
other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God
work in your life for doing the thing that you know He Loves.

GOB BLESS YOU.......

WITH PRAYERS,

Happy New Year my dear friends!

It's another year.
This time I know and I feel, inspite of all the world crisis
and setbacks, it's gona be an awesome year!

I bet people from all walks of life are starting to do
out their New Year's Resolution List.

Well, I can say I can relate to that.
Just before the new year comes, I used to start writing
down the things that I want to change in me.
To be more specific, I refer on my behavior.

Yes. It's innate in me that I wanted to be always good.
I wanted people to admire me because "I'm nice" I'm good"..
I'm like this and I'm like that.

So New Year's Resolution list has always been my thing.

Now, for so many years have passed of doing it...
have I changed on my self-effort?

Of course,
I did not.

Circumstances beyond my control had made me vulnerable
and left me at times out of control.
The more I pressured myself to never do this 'bad' thing again,
the more I ended up feeling so much like a loser.


Unfortunately, there even came a time that I became worst.
And out of frustrations..I hated myself.

Year after year after year.
I was always on my own with my atruggles.
if I couldn't fix it, I'd feel bad for not doing good enough.

Now, that Jesus is in me.

No more frets.

Deep inside, it's amazing how He changes me without holding
unto my own self-confessed strength and pride.

Jesus is right,

"I am the way the truth and the life" . Many struggle to know the way to live, Jesus says 'the way to live is in me'. We look for the ultimate truth, 'it's me' he says. We look for a life worth living with meaning and purpose, again 'it's me'. (John 14 v 6)

Isn't that a great message to live by???

Let that message sink in to you my friends.

If you're not happy with your life right now..read the message again.

Let us stop being so religious about Jesus.

Jesus Himself hates religion.
He wants relationship from us.
If we make Him our soul's partner, we can only gain from this
mad, fallen world.
We gain great health, peace and life will make it soooo much more
worthe living inspite of all your current situation.

Stop struggling with life and start having fun!

With Jesus, you don't need to sturggle because His yoke is easy.

You can only rest...full time!

Happy New Year and let the good tidings of the coming year begin!

Red Sea Crossing

I have received this powerpoint from my dear friend, let's call her "amag" hehe!

Ok. These TRUTHS excite me and getting to know what's happening in the Bible makes me more curious in learning the events way back 2000 years ago.

Fiction or Truth. I don't care.
As long as it's about God and Jesus...is perfect enough.

Yes.

I have come to know some "Worldy Truths"
but they only gave me nothing but stress and a lot of heartaches.


Past is past.

Now.

With God's truth...nothing is detrimental to one's health
for this is not religion anymore.

And if you just open your eyes and would come to know it..

it will finally set you free!
