Daily Encouragement For February 28:

To Whom It May Concern,

You are my creation and I love you. It's just that simple. No matter what you have done or what you have not done. I love you! You have an eternal spirit living within you, and I know your spirit intimately, and I love you. You are on this earth, living your life, making your own decisions, trying to find out what's the best thing to do and how to do it, how to live, how to survive, and it's a struggle. I know this and I understand, for this is the struggle of life. But all of this can be made easier if you will just talk to Me.

When you come to the door at the end of the road, at the end of your life, you will need the key to open the door, to enter into MY HOME where everything is LOVE. But you don't have to work for that key-just hold out your hand right now and I will place it there. The Key is MY SON, JESUS, I hold out this key to you now and say, "It can be yours, because I love you." It is as though I am offering you the key to My treasure vault, saying, "This is yours, just because I love you." With this key you can open the vault and find it is full of treasure. So receive MY KEY- the KEY to living with ME forever. Just say, yes, GOD, I want the Key to life. I want Your SON, JESUS, the Key to your vault. I receive it. I accept it. Then this Key will be yours forever.

If you receive My Son, you are no longer My creation, you are my child and I give you the Key to my inheritance, the Key to my vault, the Key to Eternity! He is yours, if you will just receive Him. For though your life carries on and your body ages and then it dies, your SPIRIT never ages. It never dies. The real you, the you that now dwells within the confines of your body, will live forever. This is why the things of the body, the material things of the world, are not the things to strive for because one day you must leave them behind. The things that truly matter are those of MY SPIRIT: LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE.

1. Love, we need to get and give love. How do we get love? Ask Jesus into our hearts. How do we give love? Tell people about Jesus.

2. Joy, we need to have JOY, what is JOY, Jesus first, others second, ourselves last.

3. Peace, we need peace, to not let things get to us.

4. Longsuffering, that is a long word for being forgiving toward others, God is forgiving toward us, so, we need to be forgive toward others.

5. Gentleness, we need to show kindness toward others even when others are not.

6. Goodness, we need to be good, follow God's commands, obey our parents, teachers.

7. Faith, we need to have faith in God and live by faith.

8. Meekness, we need to be modest, keep our bodies covered.

9. Temperance, we need to keep our body clean, that means not eating, drinking or doing things that are bad for our body.

These are the things that make you rich-rich in your spirit. These are the things that make you strong-strong in your spirit. When the day comes that you shed the garment of your flesh, the strength of your spirit will be all that counts. So do good. Show love. Give love. Love your family. Love your neighbors.  Love those you meet. Show mercy, kindness and compassion. For by sharing these things- by showing love- you show ME to others. For I, God AM Love, and I love you. I want to spend Eternity with
you.

WITH LOVE EVERLASTING,

GOD.

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” - Galatians 5:19-25.
