Life goes onward and forward

Has your life made a positive turn toward The Light?

The words shared by "ha Goel (The Savior)," Yeshua (Jesus' Hebrew Name His earthly mom and dad called Him), in Yochanan (John) 15, can lead you to not only * seek * The Light, but also to * walk in * and * abide in * The Light.

In John 15:9-17, you may read about Yeshua teaching His disciplined ones, His talmidim (His taught ones), that "if you keep (guard) My Commandments, you shall (a more certain form of "will") abide (dwell) in My Love, even as I have kept My Father's Commandments, and abide in His Love."

.
Wow! -- Yeshua's Words sure can cut to the heart!  He is direct & concise!  Yet, He continually quotes from The written Word of Elohim YHVH, Avinu (our Father)'s teachings in both The Torah (Torah, in Hebrew, means instruction, teaching) and in the remainder of what many still mistakenly refer to as "the old testament."  Those words, in quotes, there, are merely what modern-day publishers, Bible printers, print on the "title page" they added, one page in front of the English versions of books like Genesis and Matthew.  Those words neither were penned in the Koinonia Greek language, nor were they written in the original Hebrew.  Study up on this, friends!

Anyway, the point is:  Yeshua, The only-begotten of The Father, full of Grace and Truth, was unable to lie, unable to do evil, and yet, so many still choose to treat Him with disrespect, disdain and disloyalty. !  He simply wants (seems to me, to be wanting) us to trust Him, keep / guard His Commands He's given, ... from the beginning ....  If we do that, He says we will abide (we'll be showing we do abide) in Him (Yeshua).  Yeshua * is * in The Father.  He abides in Him (Avinu = our Father).  Yeshua wants us to abide in Him (Yeshua, Who is * in * The Father.).

Got it?
If you'd like more passages, in The written Word, where I got this information from, I'll be glad to share those with you!  (smile)
Leave me a Comment, and we can grow together in what He continues to teach us!

Shalom

Exploring ...

Have you ever traveled somewhere, out in the countryside, in the US, and were pleasantly pleased to drive by a small establishment that serves ice cream by the scoop, owned by a retired couple, who are friendly and quite fun to talk with?

I did, in North Carolina, not far from Linville Falls.
The ice cream was high quality!
And, the conversation was pleasant!

Enjoy the places you travel by, and stop in whenever you can spare the time, friends!
You will be glad you did!
There are so many thousands of great, family-owned, family-run folks, who do care about the quality of what they offer to the buying public!

Be sure to say "Thank you!" with a genuine smile, before you leave.  Even if you do not buy anything, they will appreciate your gratefulness for having found them!  And, tell someone else about the place you visited!
The one I went to does not have a website.  So, I am not sharing a link to it, here.
But, most do.  (smile)
