Listen Fb Family and friends just finish meeting with a firm and they shared their hiring process with me and they are connected to a D1 school for those applying for sports.
The potential hire social media page got them disqualified.

If you got stuff on your page you posting trying to show how tough you are . Talking disrespectful and posting even playing with guns take it down. Mainstream America is pulling you up and using your character to judge your value to their company.

It’s probably a violation in them doing it , but guess what. You will never know the truth about not getting that job. Or going to that school , getting in that club or organization.
That stuff you posting ain’t cool anyway so change it now .
Also if you got email names like a young lady wanting a job for receptionist but email name is tee1Bootylicious Yahoo.com or GhettomikeGmail.com please know that you probably want get that email you waiting on.

2024 want better and more for yourself Amen 🙏

Recognizing that Christmas brings another day to celebrate family and friends with” Agape Love “

If your church have not had a young man or even young lady joined in the past 60 days… Ask yourself what more do your outreach team needs to be doing..

Dear mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sons, daughters, friends, and relatives,

As the holiday season arrives, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the deep emotions you may be experiencing, particularly if you are facing your first Christmas without a loved one. I understand that this time of year can amplify feelings of loss, making the absence of your cherished family member or friend even more profound.

During this season of joy and togetherness, it is important to remember that it is okay to feel a mix of emotions. Grief does not adhere to a timetable, and the healing process is different for everyone. Allow yourself the space to honor your emotions, to cherish the memories you shared, and to acknowledge the pain of your loss.

Although it may feel challenging, I invite you to find strength in the love and connection you still have with those around you. Lean on your family, friends, and support networks during this time. Share your feelings, memories, and stories with one another, as this can bring comfort and a sense of unity. Remember that you are not alone in your journey, and there are people who care deeply for you and want to support you through this difficult time.

Please remember to be gentle with yourself during this time. Allow yourself moments of solitude when needed, and don't feel pressured to conform to societal expectations of holiday cheer. It's okay to take breaks, to cry, or to seek professional support if necessary. Give yourself permission to navigate this holiday season in a way that feels right for you and your healing process.

You are resilient, and you have the strength within you to face this holiday season with grace and courage. Know that your loved one would want you to find joy and happiness, even amidst the pain of their absence. Hold onto the love and memories you shared, for they will forever remain with you.

May this holiday season bring you moments of peace, comfort, and healing. Cherish the bonds that remain, and remember that you are surrounded by a community of love and support.

With heartfelt empathy and warm wishes,

Happy Holidays
Agape Family Ministries

"In the brokenness of our hearts, we find the strength to love fiercely, for it is through our cracks that love has the power to shine its brightest."

"Let us replace silent hatred with the power of empathy and understanding. For it is in embracing our differences and celebrating our shared humanity that we truly find peace and unity."

"Be the person who shows up, listens, and truly sees the potential in others. Your presence can make all the difference in someone's life."

Good Morning Agape Family & Friends

Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. As we embark upon the journey of a new year, I am filled with great anticipation and excitement as I proclaim to you that 2024 is the season of the open door!

In Revelation 3:8, the Lord declares, "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut." This powerful promise from our Heavenly Father serves as a beacon of hope and encouragement for us today. The open door represents new opportunities, breakthroughs, and divine favor that God is releasing upon His people in this appointed time.

Beloved, it is important to recognize that this open door is not based on our own merits or efforts, but it is a result of God's sovereign will and His desire to bless His children. We must position ourselves to receive this abundant grace by aligning our hearts and minds with His Word and purposes.

In Isaiah 43:19, the Lord declares, "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Just as God made a way for the Israelites in the wilderness, He is making a way for us in the midst of challenging circumstances. He is opening doors where there seemed to be no way, bringing forth rivers of refreshing and provision in the dry places of our lives.

As we step into this season of the open door, let us heed the words of the Apostle Paul in Colossians 4:2, "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." Prayer is our key to unlocking the blessings and opportunities that God has prepared for us. Let us be diligent in seeking His face, praying for His guidance, and listening for His voice as we navigate the path that lies before us.

Beloved, I encourage you to embrace this season with a spirit of faith and expectancy. Trust in the Lord's faithfulness and believe that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Do not allow fear or doubt to hinder you from stepping through the open doors that God has set before you. Walk in obedience, knowing that He who has promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23).

May this be a year of unprecedented blessings, breakthroughs, and divine encounters. May we see doors of opportunity swing wide open, leading us into new levels of influence and impact for the Kingdom of God. And may we always give glory to our Heavenly Father who opens doors that no one can shut.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior,

Amen.
Rev.Andre’ Shad Gray

Sending heartfelt birthday wishes to the pastor! Your warm messages are appreciated on this special day. If you'd like to add to the celebration, contributions can be made via Cash App at $love4agape. Thank you for making this birthday extra special!

Share God's Love with Others:
Scripture Reference: Matthew 22:36-40

Our birthdays should never be solely about ourselves but also about demonstrating God's love to others. As Jesus taught, the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and the second is to love our neighbors as ourselves. On this special day, let us extend acts of kindness, love, and generosity to those around us, reflecting the unconditional love of our Savior.

My dear brothers and sisters, as we celebrate our birthdays, let us do so with God's directions. Remember that every day we live is a gift from Him, and it is our responsibility to honor and glorify Him in all that we do. May we seek His wisdom, express gratitude, and extend His love to others as we commemorate the day of our birth. Let our celebrations be a testimony to the goodness and faithfulness of our God. Amen.
