Acts 13:22b “…I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.” Can God’s description of David apply to you and me? Would God say of you and me—_______is faithful and he/she will do everything I want him/her to do. We know David was human and in need of a Savior, yet his heart was right. You and I want to live so God can say of each of us—_________is after my own heart—_______will do everything I want him/her to do. God—let each of us be unique like David.

Acts 12:16 “But Peter kept on knocking, and they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.” The friends of Peter had been praying Peter would survive his imprisonment and his live would be spared. They were amazed when they actually experienced—God answers prayer. God’s will was accomplished. You and I pray with the same heart. God answers pray His way–not ours. His will is always accomplished.

Acts 11:23 “Whe he (Barnabas) arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.” Barnabas, an early apostle, loved his Savior. He promoted Christianity and encouraged whoever he could to have faith filled hearts and to not only believe but to live a life of expression of that true faith. Barnabas’ faith example is without question, a faith we can learn from, follow and teach. Have a great weekend.

Acts 11:18 “When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, ‘So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentence unto life.” Jesus came to this earth to live, die and rise as an Advocate for the entire world. Skin color or country of origin is irrelevant. In God’s eyes all lives matter–as He wants all to know Him, serve Him and spend eternity with Him. That is the wonderful truth we all need to know and share.

Acts 10:43 “All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” Our Heavenly Father demands perfection to be with Him. God knew you and I and everyone else could never accomplish perfection—we needed help. The solution?—send His Son to be our Advocate. Through Jesus each of us could receive forgiveness and stand before our God with both forgiveness and perfection. So, why do we dwell on our errors (sins) of the past? Answer=We shouldn’t. Be faith filled and enjoy the love of our Savior.

Acts 9:34-35 “Then Peter began to speak; ‘I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.'” God wants all persons to be blessed by Him and share eternal life with Him. Even though that is the truth many on this earth choose not to believe Him and are and will in the future suffer the consequences of their beliefs. Man has a free will and even though God is love many foolishly reject Him. He is our loving Father and we pray to stay faith filled in honoring Him.
