Christian Reflection and Prayer

Scripture:

"Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31).

Reflection:

Boy there is a rule to live by. There are 2 very important
components to the rule. These Components are very
important to us as Christians. The first one is to love your
neighbor. Who is my neighbor? The family that lives on
the right side of me, the man who lives on the left side of
me, the people that work with me, my brothers and sisters
in church, the people who I meet shopping, the city 2 miles
away, all the folks who live in the state to the north, south,
east, and west, Canada, Mexico, yes even Cuba, Russia,
China, Bosnia, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, in other words
everyone is my neighbor, all human kind are my brother and
sisters. The 2nd component is to love them as myself. God
loved me so much that He created me in His own image. The
very least I can do is to love His creation, including me. I
guess what it comes down to is to love everyone. Jesus
even included my neighbors who are my enemies, I even
love them.

Prayer:

'Thank you Jesus for Love!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU GOD FOR
BEING GOD

A Word to My Friends

Scripture:

"All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us
what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our
lives. I t straightens us out and teaches us to do what is
right". (2 Timothy 3:16) (NLT)

Reflection:

I want you to notice that the Scripture verse does not
say Rev. Kim Olson is inspired by God, it says All
Scripture is inspired by God. I am not perfect, The
Holy Scriptures are. I do not speak for God, I only
speak as His loyal servant. Some of my future Reflections
you will surely disagree with, this is good. Some will be
angered, some will agree, and some will get disgusted
and quite reading my blog. Please always keep this in
mind, my interpretation of the Scriptures is my interpretation,
not anyone else's. But always remember that my
interpretation is based on Scripture no other book.
I am a Christian first, a theologian second. I hope you
enjoy my future blogs and when you disagree with me,
which you will, base your interpretation on the Scripture.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, AT THIS VERY MOMENT
YOU ARE BEING LOVED BY GOD

Here is a prayer for the New Year by
Edgar A. Guest. I thought you might
enjoy it. Have a happy and Christ
filled New Year.

Prayer for the New Year

Grant me the strength from day to day
To bear what burdens come my way.
Grant me throughout this bright New Year
More to endure and less to fear.
Help me live that I may be
From spite and petty malice free.

Let me not bitterly complain
When cherished hopes of mine prove vain,
Or spoil with deeds of hate and rage
Some fair tomorrow's spotless page.
Lord, as the days shall come and go
In courage let me stronger grow.

Lord, as the New Year dawns today
Help me to put my faults away.
Let me be big in little things;
Grant me the joy which friendship brings.
Keep me from selfishness and spite;
Let me be wise in what is right.

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye.
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
