MY ADVICE TO YOU WHO CARES ABOUT LIFE:
Take care of yourself. Eating healthy and staying active is a great way to stay connected to yourself and your higher power, whether that’s God, the Universe, or simply your own internal guidance system. When we allow our internal systems (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) to become clogged and bogged down by lethargy and unnatural substances, we block the opportunity for spiritual growth and eventual awakening.
Keep your body clean and clear by feeding it well and moving it often, and prepare to receive the messages you seek.
Read your Bible every day. Pray and speak freely to God as often as you can.
We are serving an ALMIGHTY GOD and SAVIOR.
Make Jesus Christ the center of your being and love others as you love yourself.
Don’t wish bad things on to others and don’t feel happy if people die who you don’t like or wish anybody to Hell.
I see this more and more every day on video comments and it breaks my heart how evil humans can be to each other.
Keep a good clean heart and mind and a healthy spirit so that you can also pass on to others the hope that is in you to know what salvation is all about.
May the Lord bless you
and keep you;
May He make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
May He turn his face toward you
and give you peace.
Peace to the brothers,
and love with faith in God
the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace to all who love our
Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.
