View MoreDecember 5, 2025, the 339th day of 2025 Aim For the Goal It is not because an ultimate goal is easily attainable that we aim for it, but because it leads us down the right path. We do not give up because the goal is too lofty. It is not because the goal is even attainable in this lifetime that we press on, but because our values are godly values. Even as we reach for and gain attainable goals along the way, they leads us down the path of our ultimate goal. Knowing that in this human flesh we will never perfectly live the Christian life, does not mean we give up and give into sin. We fight against sin nature all the more. We are never going to love God perfectly in this lifetime, but it is the goal we aim for. We are never going to understand all the mysteries of God in this lifetime, but it is the goal we strive for. Even within the family of God, we are not going to care for every fellow Christian as much as we care for our close Christian friends, but it is the goal we are aiming for. The reminders of how easily we can sin and slip up are not meant to cause us to give up in despair, but to keep us trusting in God's strength, instead of our own, and to keep us humble. There are many good works that are expected of us, merely because we ought to do what Jesus asks us to do. Our humanity may be a stumbling block in some ways, but it is also where we sympathize and empathize with one another. Some of our struggles that took so long for us to overcome, may cause us shame when looked back upon, but they are also why we can encourage another in their struggles to hang in there and keep going. Our trials may be of a different kind from one another, but we all have them. Our wounds and our struggles may be unique to each of us individually, but we all still have them. As we focus our attention on being like Jesus as out goal, we don't settle for being just a little bit better than the other guy. When our goal is to love God with the entirety of our being, we don't hold up tiny examples of love as proof we have attained it. We keep aiming higher. Don't be discouraged when you fall short of your goal. Confess and repent of your sin. Pick yourself up. Refocus your eyes on Jesus. And keep moving towards that goal! Stay strong! Keep your eyes on Jesus and your heart alert to His leading! NAN

View MoreDecember 1, 2025, the 335th day of 2025 Always Meant to be a Family None of us able to do everything ourselves. Even in a big family, unless everyone has different talents and lives close to the same property, it would still be hard. We were meant to help and care for one another, to be there for one another, through good and bad times. And together we ease the burden of each other. But for most, that kind of family is from bygone days. Most people do not live close to one another. Many move away and start families elsewhere. Many go off to college and never return home permanently. Most families no longer share or knows the burdens the others bear. Each carries loads often too hard for them, because they were meant to be shared. It seems a broken world. But in the midst of this are families who havr members who stay near to one another and who help one another. Those families are blessed indeed. And they are the picture of what God considers family. When God speaks of His people, we are always family. That is because of all people, family should be there for one another. So, as Christians we are of the family of God, which is a royal family. God is our Father, the High King. Jesus is our eldest brother, the ruling King over us and the dominion the Father gave to Him. Fellow Christians are brothers and sisters. It is meant to be the kind of connection that God made through the Eartyhly family, but even deeper because we share the same values and we will live in eternity with one another in Paradise. We were never meant to leave God's family and make our own family apart from Him. Sin caused that separation. Jesus repaired the rift and is the way back to God. We really don't understand how important family is to God. His Son Jesus had to make the way for us, and He did it willingly. After He suffered, died and rose again Jesus went away to prepare a place for us in His home, so we could be with Him forever. It was always meant to be an extended family that encompassed all of us. But some refuse to be a part of God's family, because they don't want to do it God's way. It is what got humanity in this mess in the first place. Still, those of us who do come to Jesus in repentance and fully surrender to His Lordship and Kingship over us, also become of His family, children of God! I just can't get why anyone delays coming to Jesus. What we surrender to Him is nothing to what we get from Him! Stay strong! The family of God is a family worth belonging to! NAN
