Love is the only answer that can give hope to our existence. I have struggled immensely throughout my life and as angry and bitter as I feel I want to become, the Love that God has for me keeps brining me to a place of peace and rest for my soul. After having lost two marriages and my entire everything I have been struggling with my faith. Hard. Just when one set back finished taking its course I would get slammed with two or three more at the same time and hard. All the while I had opportunities to do things that would go directly against the commands of God and so I would refrain from gaining or getting ahead even a little by compromising those parts of my faith. This didn't
mean that I was perfect. By a long shot. However the value I have learned to appreciate in honest good hardworking people, and with the few possessions I have obtained through hard work, and my art which has been stolen over and over throughout the years has been well worth the struggles and hardships. God has really shown me the importance of not valuing materialism, yet highly valuing the stewardship entrusted to me with the few possessions I have through gratitude and thankfulness and by being able to share and value others above my own desires and even my basic needs. I remember a while back looking at the cost that it would truly be to be a person of faith who walked with God and could give it all just to be led by Him and thinking to myself "this is impossible, why would God even ask someone He created and loved to torture themselves by going without purposefully?" However I said a prayer. I told God whatever it takes to get me there please bring me to a place where I can just desire and want you and to love others with your love. What has taken place since then in my life has been the most unsuccessful, broken, shattered, untruthful, unjust, ugly, unbelievably worst "luck" (if
you want to call it that, I do for lack if better terms) anyone can experience. From Being accused of things I didn't do, to having the majority of my art stolen from me, being stripped of any successful ability to make any profit, nowhere to find steady work, my license taken, my pride, my strength, my desire to chase after women, just, if anything could have gone wrong it did but with triple times the blow. It has been so ridiculously harsh I had begun to question God's hand in my life. Why could I not prosper, where are other true believers in God, where are people who care like before and don't have hard hearts? Slowly through out time I began to loathe life, loathe money, loathe working, loathe eating, loathe attention, loathe drugs, loathe women. Everything that I could think of having taken immense pleasures in I have come to loathe at some point. I even began to become upset with God as I watched the world around me lie, cheat and steal and prosper regardless of the fact and myself do everything in my power not to do those things, even in my addictions to drugs and be the one without, unsuccessful in everything I did monetarily. However my art skill exploded. My thirst for goodness and love I craved with an unquenchable fire, my desire to see God's just rule in this earth became an obsession, my life meant little or nothing to me and everyone else around me seemed to become more and more important to get to know and become friendly and at peace with. The other day as I was digging through the shed at my brother's I came across a bag with some of my clothes in it and in the bag at the very bottom was something I had purchased twenty two years ago from a cell in a penitentiary here in Colorado. After having lost marriages, friends, family, jobs, cars, recognition etc. The one thing that I found that ran deepest in my past was a pocket Bible that I had laser engraved my name into. A Bible that had been lost and retrieved on several occasions. That had been with me through the good times and the bad. The one thing that has been consistent in my life and steadfast.... God's word. As I held it in my hands and looked at it I realized how solidly His faithful presence has been with me although I emotionally and mentally was a Rollercoaster . This Bible I found symbolic of His true faithfulness to bring me through and create within my character and soul something that was truly of alue and that is my appreciation and love for everything Good God is and represents through the good news olf grace in the death burial and resurrection of His son Jesus the messiah. Nothing else matters. Except for Him but through Him everything matters in an amazingly beautiful way. And I can with all that I am say that with confidence and joyful and proudly. God is good, Life is good but it is very very very hard and it is a daily struggle, there is purpose in it. And the value of that purpose as hidden as it is to us, beyond our ability to understand in this life is very grear, and with that I truly believe that we will see its amazing effect in the Life to come where there is no death.

I am shocked at how inconsiderate, selfish and self absorbed people in this country are becoming. It makes me stop and begin to take a real hard look at myself right now, and believe me I know there are things I need to change. The thing that bothers me about all this most is the unwillingness to develop a desire to change that seems to be prevalent in people. I’ve always been a rebellious, wild spirited, unsettled bad boy. However deep down inside me my spirit and soul have been starving and screaming for me to change and be a good man. I have a deep longing, an enormous desire to be a man of integrity and virtue. And I’ve been wrestling with it all of my life. So here I might do a series of art works that outline and define true goodness and virtues that we are to develop in character and look for in others. Especially with those who we are wanting to partner up with in life. Most are just one worded with a few exceptions. Maybe there are single words for the few I have in my list here. Briefly here are just naming a few: Love, Faith, Hope, Integrity, patience, goodness, self control, attentiveness, compassion, mercy, understanding, forgiving, deference, willingness to learn, peaceable, considerate, gratefulness, sincerity, honesty, diligence, punctual, prompt, reliability, responsibility, eagerness, earnestness, faithfulness, loyalty, excellence, purity, politeness, courageous, resourcefulness, impeccable, charity, hospitable, generous, friendly, humbleness, meekness, sanity or a sound mind, heart, strength, honor, tolerance, good mannerism, and the list goes on. I would encourage anyone reading this to just pick one of these words, define it, research the true definition from multiple resources and then learn how to apply it to your life. I guarantee that it won’t cause any harm in fact quite the opposite. For anyone looking for something cool to tattoo. A number of these words would be a better alternative than to say like wicked, twisted, anarchy, rebel. L💚VE LIFE, L💜VE ART

Here’s a thought for the day: every woman in existence is absolutely and amazingly beautiful. If you stop and really look at any woman size, shape & color and look into her eyes you will see a depth and a beauty that is captivating. God sets things in order. He refers to himself as a male and a lot of that is due to the order of heirarchy set into place. It’s not so that man can be a ruler over women per se. It’s that mans heart is so captivated by her beauty that he would do anything to get her attention. Besides scripture says that when he created man male and female he created them and HE CALLED THEM ADAM (“Man” in the Hebrew). That’s the way the Hebrew reads. I know because I can read the language. I spent several years studying it. So God is both male and female. He is one. He designed us so that when man and women come together and are United physically the result is a seed planted in a womb and the magic of life commences. It was not Adam who was the culmination or crown of creation. The very last thing created was Eve (“Hava” from “Hai” {Life}) because life would be planted within her and grow and thrive through her. So when God presented Eve to Adam I believe him and all of creation were just blown away and captivated at her beauty. Adams knees grew weak and his heart melted. She was beautiful, radiant and she added a whole new dimension to the life of Adam. The only thing God said wasn’t good at creation was seeing Adam alone. God shared a special tender, beautiful, feminine side of himself through Eve. Women are mysteries to me. Beautifully amazing.

God promises to walk his people through flood and the fire. Both are used in cleansing, purging and refining. Both can also destroy. If you are facing challenges in life, accepting them with faith confidence and joy trusting in God will deepen and define your character as fire purifies silver and gold. The hotter the furnace the more pure the precious metal becomes. Ultimately so pure you can see your reflection, the reflection of someone created InHisImage. Allow the adversities of life to polish you up and not break you. Jesus is Awesome. We have an amazing and awesome creator.
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name;
You are Mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you.
For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior" - " the prophet Yeshayahoo (Isaiah) chapter 43

Calling yourself or someone stupid or foolish, any type of putdown is extremely damaging. Mainly to the one saying such things. It’s so destructive and negative I cringe every time I hear someone put themselves or others down with these words. Our love we have for ourself and for each other should be built on the understanding that as humans we are limited in our abilities to do things perfectly and without absent mindedness throughout every waking moment. And even if there is a lack of ability for some to be unable to perform certain tasks stupidity is hardly the cause. In viewing such a case in whatever given situation a person being fully able to perform the task at hand whatever it may be should praise the effort given by him who lacks. It takes courage to try and perform a task you know you are incapable of performing and accepting failure gracefully. And after praising the other for attempting to perform the task him or herself should instruct the other while helping considering perhaps that person hadn’t been shown the proper manner in which it should be executed. Love sees a lack or a need and fights to fill that need or lack with its strength and carries another’s burdens. The burdens of an inability or disability in the ones we love. Including ourselves. To sit back and mock another or judge another instead of lending a helping hand to accomplish life’s challenges is what a true foolish and stupid person does. At least the other has the courage to try. Our gifts and abilities differ. For the true fool however it is the folly in initially making that foolish judgement.

I know in my heart God has made me a strong man. The pain I feel in my heart is going to make me even stronger. Love is worth it because Love is right no matter how bad it hurts. You can love those that hurt you without allowing yourself to be treated less than you deserve and without judging the person. That also goes for those I've also offended or hurt. My prayer is that we all grow and learn and prosper in our souls, in our finances, and above all that we abundantly overflow with Love. Don’t neglect to recognize the fact that we all fail. We all need kindness, forgiveness compassion and mercy. It may hurt to care at first, however it hurts worse not to care in the end when all you do care about is your focus on the pain of losing everything and everyone around you including yourself. - Jesse Quintana

Words to live by and hold onto in times of crisis like this. Keeping your heart, your vision, purpose, faith and hope solid and grounded. You cannot buy this type of peace, courage, love and strength. It takes the individual who endures life’s hardest hits and still lives simple, grateful, joyful reverent and positive even when there is nothing left to Lose because all has already been lost except for one thing: A Character that is dynamic and has some indication of integrity, even in the smallest amounts goes a long long way and speaks volumes of goodness and truth:

⏰"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love💖
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"✝️
"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
“Forget your lust for the rich man's gold 💰
All that you need is in your soul💎
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"
SIMPLE MAN BY LYNARD SKYNARD

In just one generation we lost something good. Seems as though we are living in an evil time. People really don’t care about anybody else but themselves. I don’t exclude myself. However as God opens my eyes I see the need to do everything I can for others and to help others. God will take care of and watch over my needs. He always has. Love never gives up but people say “I love you” and yet they give up on people all of the time. That’s not love. Love is so vast we will be spending eternity learning the depths of it in God’s presence. When the creator stepped out of eternity into our existence, our world as we know it He did it not for Godly, good, just, righteous people. He did it for His killers, those who hate Him, despise Him, don’t want to listen to Him. If you think you are good you are only trying to fool yourself. God knows your heart. Every single one of us is wicked and to think that we are not is even wickeder. Because it’s those that think that,they are the first to throw someone out on the street, to judge people who are addicts, who like to gossip about others to make themselves feel good. When Jesus was on the earth The religious people said ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ (Luke 7:34b)
“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” Rabbi Shaul (The Apostle Paul)p

✨There are certain things that are absolutely for sure. One of them - Life isn’t easy. 🌗 I would have to say that it was during my hardest years I lived life strongly. Looking back I’m able to see a Jesse in a hard place. A very difficult one on more than several occasions. And why was it that during those times I shone so bright? I didn’t see it then I see it now. Others pointed it out to me. I hesitated to believe them. I was so caught up in my struggles in my hardships. I was fighting to make it through. Because I saw something on the other side that was beautiful and worth it. I saw a future and a hope. During my darkest years I knew something. There was light at the end of the tunnel. I had God and I had my family. When I had lost hope in family, I had God and He never disappoints. So what’s the difference with today and when things are going so smooth? Why the anxiousness, discontent, emptiness? I believe the answer lies within our focus. No matter what Life offers you it can never give you the God sized hole in your heart that cries out for him. Money, s*x, drugs, power, authority, spas, recreation, food, cars, vacations, houses, none of them give us what we need. They are gifts to us from our creator. The sunshine embracing our face. A cool damp rag on our neck. That drink of cold water, sip of hot tea. No matter what is before us we should always be focusing on God His goodness and hope for a better future in a Kingdom led by our compassionate and awesome Savior our Lord Jesus Christ. There is a resurrection from the dead. Besides reading about it hearing about it how do I know!? Apart from the experiences I personally have Had with God let me share a little bit of wisdom with you that isn’t a secret but may be new to you. A psalmist once wrote “The Heavens Declare the Glory of God and the firmament His handy work”. Creation breathes and illustrates and sings Gods Creation. During the seasons we have spring, summer, fall, winter, a cycle of renewal. A kind of shadow of death burial and resurrection. We see it in seeds being planted in the ground. Being buried then resurrecting to something new. But there is something more descriptive in creation itself and it starts with the sun going down. You see when the sun sets its kind of like death. The light goes away things get dark life grows cold. Predators come out. Then after the darkest coldest part shortly after you begin to see the light of dawn. You see a resurrection of the sun. You see hope and a new day dawning. People in general throughout the ages when the sun sets besides the watchmen warriors would lay down and fall asleep kind of like a death. Where they rest from the pains of life. Remember those who have passed are at rest. When the sun dawns we rise from the dead and walk about in the light enjoying its light on us. Plants open up their leaves and pedals. Some flourish at night. Some people function at night. Everything has its place but in general creation lives and breathes death burial and the resurrection from the dead. So when you are sad, stagnant, hopeless, hurting, in despair. Lift your head up because I can guarantee this: your situation no matter is not going to last forever even if death is your release. And for those who Have Gods Son the first born from the dead in their hearts it means a better and renewed life for us because it’s a life beyond our imagination what waits for us. And that is hope. Rabbi and Apostle Paul said these words “And now remains Faith, Hope, Love. These three, but the greatest of these is Love”. If you don’t Have faith hope or love I suggest you seek God who is the source of all three. It’s a life changing and sustaining experience no matter who you are, what you do, where you been or are going. They make the difference in this world and in the world to come. Shalom and peace on Gods people. Jesus be praised forever amen

Each and every day we wake we are given and receive the breath of life. We are given the rays of the sun to warm our faces. We are given the pleasure of making and preparing delicious food for our enjoyment. We are given the pleasure of s*x and the enjoyment of a special someone's company. There are a beautiful array of colors that weave a tapestry of views of nature to leave us in awe at life. We are given the ability to be creative in writing and composing compositions of music and art. Water to sustain us and relieve our thirst with which we take and mix with a myriad combinations of flavors that we eat and drink from. Delicacies and pleasures that are not only tasty to the palette of our tongue but decorative and appealing to the eye. We are endowed with sweet sleep and dreams to escape the mundane of our daily work and lives. Not to mention the ability to entertain and make people laugh, cry, and hopefully inspire and motivate each other to a better and more peaceful way of life through literature, theatre, radio, and even our own voices in proclaiming truth and good things into the lives of others. You see the very nature of God and his design of creation is always selflessly and incessantly giving. Through these gifts, which include our own creative talents we are able to pour out with passionate hearts our love gifts to others. It's when we lose sight of that, that we began to become bitter and resentful. Jealousy and envy can be destructive because it not only robs our hearts and lives of the ability to give to others but it also steals our ability to see, receive and enjoy every gift that is freely given to us. Even the most simplest of things in life if you ponder and consider are all a gift. So breathe in the air, enjoy your food, relish in spending time with your spouse, children a friend or a loved one and go out and enjoy everything that God has given to us to enjoy. Above all never forget the ultimate gift of salvation and love we receive by the crucifixion and more importantly the resurrection of life that God gives us in Jesus in the world to come because death will come knocking at each and everyone's door. We are not immortal but the one who gives us all good things is, and He promises us an everlasting life of peace and goodness in the age to come. May He be Blessed and come soon Lord Yeshua Jesus.

Hard work, faithfulness to your wife, admitting you are wrong, swallowing your pride, defending those weaker than you when the odds are stacked against you. It’s time to step up and be men of integrity.

🔵THE TRUTH ON RELATIONSHIPS🔵
Relationships are difficult. Primarily the relationship that we have with God, then our relationship with our wife or husband, then Family and friendships. Finally with the members of our communities where we reside. What is the big deal with marriages? Can't we just be with people without all the legal ties? Sure we can but marriage is designed to make this bond enduring, lasting , special. You make an open and public promise to eachother. The group of people there are bearing witness to these promises and are themselves promising to do everything in their power to support the couple in good and bad times. Not to encourage any separation. I can't think of anything more awesome, powerful and worthy of the fight. Marriage is so important for the vitality of any relationship. It is just that we have been uninformed. We were created for relationships. Truth is the more we try to run from them the more we crave and long for them. A void encompasses our hearts and we begin to despise others and dislike the person we become. The more we stand up for them and embrace them, the more confident we are, and are able to choose those that are healthy for us and are able to recognize those that are not and walk away from them. Support Marriages. Encourage couples and seek good relationships in your own life. People tell me to stop looking for a spouse. I think they are wrong. King Solomon says in The Bible and even states that (and this is paraphrased) "Blessed is the man who FINDS a wife. He finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD"(Proverbs 18:22). You have to be actively looking in order to find a wife. I want a wife. I want a family. Life is dead without the joy of family ❤💙💚💯‼
