Hi Peeps,

Today’s Quote

“When you mistreat your best friends, all the people around you, including God can see your arrogance and pride, while laughing at you and your foolish mistakes, until you repent.” ~ Jon Barnes

All Around

The people all around you each day know who you are and what you stand for.  Carefully look at the flag of your ship to see what it says; Good or Evil. Good work and workers hide behind their work, but foolish workers make mistakes as big as the sun, which provides a lot of fun for everyone! Look around and stare deeply into the mirror so that you talk to yourself to reject your pride and arrogant ways before you hurt someone. 

I’ll Tell You

Your true friends will always tell you the truth in love and God will verify your corrections.  The question is, are you listening and did you change?  When I find myself making the same mistakes over and over again, I stop, drop, pray, and change.  Then, I thank God for the mind to act right and improve my focus and position.  Money, talent, fame, and status are not relevant to God, thus not to me.  I’m sailing on a different ship.


Best Friends

God is Your Best Friend, and when you learn to treat Him well, you will love, respect, and respond to others with the same lifestyle and mentorship from your personal relationship with God.  God will give you wise, trusted counselors, teachers, and people to help you follow biblical principles, along with God answering your personal question from your daily bible reading.  When you Enjoy God’s Friendship and you will love everyone else even more. Let us become best of Friends with God and sail together!

Today’s Question

Are you enjoying God’s friendship  and sprinkling His Love on all other relationships?

Enjoy today’s Reading.

Ephesians 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
To God’s holy people in Ephesus,[a] the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he[b] predestined us for adoption to sonship[c] through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 he[d] made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

Thanksgiving and Prayer

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[f] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Love,

Jonathan
