I heard The LORD say,  “Guard your heart with all diligence. Out of the heart flows the issues of life,  (Proverbs 4:23)

Put yourself in a place where you are not expecting too much from people.  Lower your expectations of what a man will or won’t do.”

“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.  Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”   Philippians 2:3-4.

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.   For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.”   Romans 12:2-3.

“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.  And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.”   Ephesians 5:1-2.

“This way My children you avoid offenses, let downs, and disappointments.  When I affirm you children — that should be enough.

You know that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy.  Do not give him a perfect arena in which to work.”

“If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.  Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: neither give place to the devil.”   Ephesians 4:21-27.

“Satisfy the requirements for peace.  Owe no man nothing but to love him.  I AM giving you solid wisdom.”

“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.”   Romans 13:8.

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you,”   Matthew 5:44.

“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,”   Luke 6:27.

“Many are sick because their hearts are drowned in sorrow.  Children come from the pits of Sheol.”

“The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’   Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe!’  So his fellow servant fell down [a]at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’  And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt.  So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done.  Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me.  Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’  And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.
So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”   Matthew 18:26-35.

“Sing like Mary, “My soul does magnify The LORD”.”

“And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.  Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!  But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?  For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.  Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from The LORD.
The Song of Mary and Mary said:  “My soul magnifies The LORD, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.  For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.  For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name.””   Luke 1:41-49.

Say like David — My soul makes it’s boast in The LORD.

“A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.  I will bless The LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.  My soul shall make her boast in The LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.  O magnify The LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.   I sought The LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”   Psalm 34:1-4.

“Be like Jesus – The Commander of all ages. He said, “Father take this cup away from Me, nevertheless, not My will but thy will be done”.“

See also: Luke 22:1-71.

“Children cloak (a covering) yourselves as a garment of praise.  Wrap it around those things that come to steal joy and peace.”

“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.  But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.”   John 15:19-22.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”   John 14:27.

“Lower your expectations of man — but never the opportunity to be fruitful and multiply.”

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”  Jeremiah 17:9.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints,”   Ephesians 6:11-18.

Peace Out,
