From the Heart by B.Demaere

I rose out of my struggle and started singing this song that you all might know:   Jesus loves me, This I know, For the Bible tells me so Little ones to him belong, They are weak but he is strong.   If you are a songwriter or music teacher, I apologize for the way it is written.   I realized then as I was singing it repeatedly that this song is full of theology and inspiration.   In ‘Jesus loves me’ alone.   There is a Bible verse that pops to mind.     John 3:16 that says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his Only beloved Son                           that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.   It is obvious then that the rest of the Bible shows us that Jesus loves us.   This little song took me out of my despair and brought me back to reality which is to know that God loves me, and ...

  The Power of Letting go Whether we are intelligent or spiritual we have the choice to release, or letting go.  Whatever you like to call it, breathe in breath out.  It seems that in every discipline known to man there is a way of letting go.  Thus, even in regular prayer one aspect of it, it is to let go.

  Rich and Foolish (Luke 12:16-21) If you are at all responsive to the teaching of the Bible and Jesus, you will notice that the Bible often  teaches about finances. Well, why is that? It is because like bread we use it every day. Prior to this parable (a parable is a story to teach a biblical truth), a man wanted Jesus to interfere with his family’s affairs of inheritance. So, Jesus responded by telling him he was not the one to judge. He freed this man with the truth  by giving him this story (John 8:32). The Parable The story goes like that, a rich man has a large field with barns where he can gather his crops and one productive year, he decides to build new barns and accumulate his wealth all to himself. God intervenes and put an end  to his life and tell him that his wealth will go to someone else. God decide his fate, not money. The moral of the story is: Do not accumulate riches for yourself only but learn to share it with the poor and use it wisely for...
