📜 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise" (Proverbs 9:10).

God, in His grandeur and might, is indeed terrible, not in the negative sense we associate with today, but in the original definition: evoking awe, respect, and yes, even fear. This fear is not one that paralyzes but rather stimulates reverence, wisdom, and a deeper understanding of His divine nature. It opens the door to a profound and personal relationship with our Creator, allowing us to experience His boundless love and infinite wisdom.

🌟 As a father, consider yourself a co-creator with the Divine. Just as an architect uses blueprints to shape a magnificent structure, you are actively involved in molding the spiritual development of your children. The role you play as a father is not a random circumstance, but a purposeful assignment designed by God. This divine journey of fatherhood intertwines your life with your children's, forming a unique, intricate design in the grand tapestry of life.

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6)

A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice1️⃣; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge2️⃣. The same Spirit gives great faith3️⃣ to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing4️⃣. He gives one person the power to perform miracles5️⃣, and another the ability to prophesy6️⃣. He gives someone else the ability to discern7️⃣ whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages8️⃣,while another is given the ability to interpret9️⃣ what is being said. It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.” - 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

Seeking God’s forgiveness invites us to practice self-awareness and humility. It involves acknowledging our fallibility, striving to rectify our mistakes, and seeking to better ourselves. We resonate with the humble plea in Psalm 51:2, "Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin." 🛀

Simultaneously, we are called to extend forgiveness to every single person who may have hurt us. This is a faith-in-action practice that mirrors God’s mercy, fostering healing, reconciliation, and love. When we forgive, we release the chains of resentment, allowing our hearts to expand in love and compassion.

The Holy Spirit is regarded as the essence of the The Most High. The power and energy. It weaves its way through the tapestry of most love based faiths and religions in our diverse world.
