John 8:51

"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will never see death."

What happens when we don't keep God's word, we taste death.  Think about it, you don't follow one of the commandments, part of you begins to die.  Maybe you don't realize it but sooner or later your spirit feels pain. You know something isn't right, this is a warning sign. 

God wants a relationship with Him, He will accept an hour on the weekend but He really wants a friendship.  Where your heart is there is your treasure.  I believe spending time with Him daily helps in not breaking His word and thru His grace to not taste death.  

Happy St. Patrick's day!! And top of the morning to you.  May the luck of the Irish be with you today.  

An Irish Prayer

As I arise today, may the strength of God pilot me,
the power of God uphold me,
the wisdom of God guide me.
May the eye of God look before me,
the ear of God hear me,
the word of God speak for me.
May the hand of God protect me,
the way of God lie before me,
the shield of God defend me,
the host of God save me.
May Christ shield me today.
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit,
Christ when I stand,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Amen
