Issue 1 “Restoration Required”
The
Parable of the Lost Sheep
“What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
And
when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
And
when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying
unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say
unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth,
more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Either
what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a
candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? And when she
hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying,
Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. Likewise, I say
unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner
that repenteth.
GOD
IS GREAT!
Listen, we have all been there—not feeling good enough, not
feeling special enough, not feeling worthy. Above, God is telling us that HE
loves us. If one of us falls by the wayside, he is looking for us. He is
overjoyed when we change our ways and look to HIM for salvation. We seem to
think that we need to be perfect in order to go to Heaven, or in order to
achieve God’s Grace.
Guess what? That couldn’t be further from the truth!
God knows that we aren’t perfect. He literally sees
everything!
He just wants us to come to HIM. He wants us to CONFESS to
Him. To pray without ceasing. To put Him first.
When we do those things we develop a personal relationship
with God. This helps us with discernment, with understanding of the scriptures,
with seeing what He wants us to see and hear what He wants us to hear.
When we do this, we become “BORN AGAIN”… and when this
happens, we repent and turn away from sin. (SIN NO MORE)
That doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes along the way.
That means that you are living with intention. You focus on God. Keep your eye
single, and follow what Jesus said, “I AM the WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE.”
Take up your cross and follow me!
This means to let the ego go and live as Christ Jesus did.
Follow the commandments, Speak the truth, and Love thy Neighbor as thyself!
What a perfect way to meet new neighbors as friends!
So, Mogadore, love thy neighbor. Treat each other
with respect! (Even during this time of voting!) Take the time to say hi to one
another, bring some cookies over to an elderly neighbor, offer to mow someone’s
yard if they are having a hard time getting things done. Help a single mom fix a
child’s bike. These are all things that we can do to build a community of
Christ-like individuals. This is how we grow a village!
May God bless you and yours!
Be safe and pray for our children, and our community.

A Prayer for Mogadore:
Thank you, Father, for shielding Mogadore in Your protective
Light! Thank you for being with our children at school, for blessing our
teachers to be blessings, and for instilling the correct knowledge in them in
order to bring up our children the way that YOU want them to be raised in YOUR
GLORY. Thank you, God, for being with our police officers, with our
firefighters, and with our elected officials as they go about their day and
make decisions for the greater good of all. Thank you for protecting our village
with the highest vibration of light and love that surpasses all understanding.
In YOUR NAME we pray. AMEN!
