Choose Your Echo

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -
Today a fellow musician and friend shared this with me. An amazing perspective and a profound lesson worth recounting...

✍ Choose ur Echo
-------------------
A man was taking his son on a walk in a nearby forest. Suddenly the boy tripped and feeling a sharp pain, he screams "AHHHH!"
Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain, "AHHHH!" He was taken aback as it was his first experience of an echo.
Filled with curiosity, he screams: "Who are you?", but the only answer he received was, "Who are you?"
This made him angry, so he shouted, "You are a coward!" and the voice answered, "You are a coward!"
He looked at his father and asked "Dad what's going on. Who's he talking back at me?"
"Son," the man replies, " pay attention. Say something nice to him
Then he screams, "I love you!"  The voice answers, "I love you!"
Realizing his son's confusion the man takes over the conversation with nature and shouts
"You are wonderful!" and the voice answered, "You are wonderful!"
The boy is thrilled but still can't understand what is going on.
The father explains, "Son, people call this an ECHO, but truly it is LIFE.  Life always gives you back what you give out.  Life is a mirror of your actions.
If you want more love, give more love.  If you want more kindness, give more kindness.  If you want understanding and respect, give understanding and respect.  If you want people to be patient with you, then be patient with them.
This rule of nature applies to every aspect of our lives. An echo is nature's way of teaching us to do unto others what we wish them to do to us and wish for others what we wish for ourselves.
Life always gives you back what you give out...
Your life is not a coincidence, but a mirror of your own doings.
Choose your ECHO! Send out blessings and receive blessings in return.

My echo to you today is love, peace, and happiness. Send me back your echo.🙏🙏😇🌟

I Have Prayed For You

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -

I have asked the Lord to do this for you: If you’ve got an unwanted guest  in your body such as an infection, virus, inflammation or disease of any sort.  I pray that without hesitation your immune system will step in, like a bouncer who means business.  I command your body to release white blood cells and other chemicals that will  destroy these threats right now  in the name of  His son Jesus Christ. That elite squad of agents that zap invaders in your body -- like bacteria, viruses, and fungi -- In this hour, we come into agreement that they must now zoom through your entire body and defend you, powered by the blood of Christ Jesus.  We close all ports of entry into your body by these viruses and activate the wisdom needed to stay well and healthy in this hour. If you are not ill, as these  aliens  position themselves to attack your body they will not be able to get in through a cut, ride in on something you ate, filter through the air, or wait on a coin

Called to Love

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -
I have been treated badly in recent times by persons who really should be the 'keepers of my soul' and people who claim that they 'love' me. On more than one occasion I was tempted to reciprocate the treatment. It takes great strength to love and restrain oneself, especially when you know you are not deserving of the ill treatment. The bible reminds us that we ought to ,"...Love our enemies, bless them that curse us, do good to them that hate us, and pray for them which despitefully use us and persecute us;" -St. Matt. 5:44 God expects that even when others are 'deserving' of our bad treatment and have fully earned the right to be 'hated', that we will love them and love them without discrimination. Think about it, it is so difficult to even forgive and love those we call friends whenever they hurt us, more so an enemy. Anyone who believes it is easy to bless those who curse us should think about it carefully. Quite often when we ha

31 Days of Prayers for Children: Day 11

By Dr. Jermaine Gordon -
DAY 11  (I am stressed out) Jesus, it's almost frightening to hear a little ten-year-old girl crying just how much she is stressed out. Deliver our children from their emotional and mental stresses and give them the strength and stamina to grow from each difficult.  The Child's Prayer:  I refuse to be stressed and I embrace my blessing today. Amen. Notes to Parents:   Don't underestimate the fact that your child could be a carrier of stress.  In times of adversity and turmoil, stress evokes strong emotions and causes uncertainty in all of us. As parents, we are in the best position to help our children. Here are five things we can do:   Supervise their tv time or use of the media and devices   Plan times away from devices where they can be creative and be engaged in outdoor activities   Listen whenever they want to speak.  Some children will want to talk about difficult situations and some won’t. Both reactions are common and natural.   Be calm. Th
