I'd like to share with you the verse He gave me when I really needed it . . . Joshua 1: 9 Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous, do not be discouraged or afraid for the Lord your God will be with you where ever you go. Blessings to you! Sue Ramona, CA James,

If you ever, EVER feel like Jesus can be lost or that people can take Him away from you, read Romans 8:38-39. You will be instantly comforted. It's a big sign of maturity and spiritual readiness that you are able to live as a child of God in prison. Hey bro, congratulations!

It takes great determination to complete what was previously started & I pray that you would continue that determination, not only in seeking God's calling for your life, but mainly in seeking God! God promises that, "if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul." Deuteronomy 4:29. I pray that God would be a light unto your path & a lamp unto your feet & that He would show you exactly what He put you here on earth to do for His glory! It's like I tell my kids.....it's not how you start, but how you finish that truly counts. Finish well.....seek God!!! God bless you in every way! Congratulations, James!

In Psalm 103:1-18 it says "Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field; the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.

The Lord has always known of you and has been waiting patiently for you. No one can lock Him away from you, ever! And now we know of you and are praying for you. I have really been trying to be obedient to God about prayer. I don't know about you, but so often it seems like blowing smoke into the air. Where does it go? What did it do? How can it do anything in the vastness of the sky? I don't know the answers, but I do know that the Lord says to do it and that it does do something. And that something is always good. It always fights evil. Sometimes when my head it attacking me, I lay in bed and just say, "Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord" over and over. If nothing else, I know it's nothing Satan wants to hear. Maybe it's like a child calling out to his father. I have a son and the most wonderful thing to my ears is to hear him call out, "Mom". I never ignore that ! Jesus will use you right where you are now. Let Him. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper yo and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon 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." Jeremiah 29: 11-14 In His precious name, Judy James,

I am thrilled James to read how God has begun to change your life. Keep seeking out the Lord and He will reveal His blessings to you in such ways that you will know it is of the Lord. Remember James there is none righteous not one, we all need our loving Savior Jesus Christ, without Him there is no hope. I have done some things in my life that I am not proud of, actually very ashamed of. Through God’s grace I have been able to move beyond the guilt of my conscience and buried it in the past where it belongs. Through Christ alone we are new creatures. May God bless you and keep you my brother. Romans 3:10 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; To Him be the glory! Eddie Praise God!
