todays reading
James 4
Submit Yourselves to God
1What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
4You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?[a] 6But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
"God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble."[b]
7Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
11Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

WWJD , no really what would Jesus do?
Jesus loved the unlovable.
Jesus cared for the widows and the orphans.
Jesus wanted to do the Fathers will.

this is a thank and praise to Jesus for my life
Well part of my little shout and praise come from Elton John's song I'm still standing
"I'm still standing"
"I'm still standing after all this time"
The Lord has brought me though the valley's of the shadow of death, God is in total control of my life he always has been always will be!!!
Jesus Christ has the power to...
I could go on listing things for days and days describing his power!!!
He has the power to and he will destroy this virus that is slowing down production of the enzyme replacement for Gaucher Disease.
He has kept me completely healthy ,Christ allows the enzyme to work!!!
_______________________________________________________________
Gaucher disease is not a curse ,it is a gift,it is a gift because one it forces me to depend of=n the Lord for my strength,I have and and still get to see God at not just defeating gaucher,but I get to see him at work against Cancer and other diseases at the hospital when i go for my infusion .I have be able to go to Mexico with the Ring Community Church for the past 6 years and serve along side the church we help in Monclova,Mexico.
I will ask all who read this please be in prayer for the other Gaucher patient that receive the enzyme replacement ,pray for their health,and pray for them to not get discouraged in this time . I pray that they know Jesus Christ is in control and that they know him ,and will cast their fears aside and let the Lord be their strenght.

Love
Last Sunday Josh preached on 1Cor13:1-3, and in reading that ,I was like I don't wanna be a noisy gong,but I am reading the passage again and verses 1-3 descried what your are with out love.! wanna say have not always down things out of love,I have down to point the finger at my self ,to make my self look good out of selfishness .
(1 Corinthians 13) (New International Version)
1 Corinthians 13
Love
1 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,[b] but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
