Let’s entertain the Definition of GIF: “A computer file format for the compression and storage of digital video images; also: such an image itself.”[1] The inner workings of Jesus compressed and stored for future generations defines GIF as: . The Prophet Jesus came into being to Live, Work, and Overcome the oppression of People.

People suffer from lack of Forgiveness; a phenomena centered in Love and Kindness. Being mild mannered, soft-spoken or polite these days is subject to Ridicule; Christ was all of these and much more. God uses human weakness to astound society. You live and work in the palm of His hand storing up Treasure or Demise.

His Living Words implore guests to send their GIF’s to Friends, Neighbors, and Families of GOD. Surprise those who ridicule with Forgiveness; give the world a face Lifted-up in Glory whose focus is Peace and Salvation rather than Revenge and Damnation.

“So they, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and from there sailed to Cyprus. When they arrived in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had John^* also as their assistant. When they had traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, they met a magician named Bar-Jesus who was a Jewish false prophet.

He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who had summoned Barnabas and Saul and wanted to hear the word of God. But Elymas the magician (for that is what his name means) opposed them in an attempt to turn the proconsul away from the faith. But Saul, also known as Paul,^* filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him and said, “You son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right, full of every sort of deceit and fraud. Will you not stop twisting the straight paths of [the] Lord?” (Acts 13:4-10 NABRE)

Shrewd and Industrious people know a Good Thing when it comes close; however they could miss a true GIF from God. St. Paul knew societies Devilish Plots manipulated people away from Faith and so should you. God in Focus will help generate Recovery through Living in Forgiveness.
