My Thoughts of God

The spirit of giving is such a mighty thing, goes hand in hand with love,
without one, the other cannot stand. I often imagine my Father in heaven
looking down upon us as we live. Going about our way, falling and falling
but forgetting to kneel and ask for His aid.

No matter how many times He tells us, He is who we need, our own way is often what we want.
Then we wonder why in Him, we haven't grown. What a stubborn brood we are!

God has never needed us but He loves us just the same. What a way He's shown it in Jesus blood and in Jesus name. Even though we've come to Him, our old self still pokes through. In that sin we've turned once again, asking God to renew us. As He looks upon us dirty and weak, red is all He sees. The precious blood that Jesus lost to save a wretch like me

Thankful is not a big enough word to tell you how I feel O'LORD. I can't express the urgency in me to want to make you real to others. Because you first loved me, now I am filled with awe that burns inside. I give you LORD, all I am with a willingness to succeed. As I go bold for you to tell all It's Jesus that they need.

Proverbs 16;16

Acquire wisdom- how much better it is than gold

and Acquire understanding- it is preferable to silver

 

Gold and silver the same as money only lasts so long and you can't take it with you. Even if you leave it to a loved one, you're not sure if they will use it wisely.

 

Wisdom and understanding is awesome but you can become wise and understanding about many things that can end in nothing but pride on our part.

 

But acquire wisdom and understanding about the ways and the words of God and you have something no money, Gold, or silver can buy.

 

Proverbs 1:7 says that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge.

 

It all starts with fearing the LORD and paying Him His due Honor and Glory and Respect. Beginning with God each day, acknowledging our faults and sins to Him and asking forgiveness, then staying mindful throughout the day that God is your Master and Lord and that He has the power that surpasses all understanding.

 

This Great God created us for His own glory and I don't know about you but I love being loved by such a beautiful force. I love knowing that I am forever being watched over and corrected by the one that loves me more than I understand.

 

This is the wisdom I want and the understanding I seek after daily.

I keep falling deeper in love with God and He never stops making my heart stand in AWE of Him!

True Love

While it was too hot to move yesterday, I decided that I would watch the movie, "The Notebook".
There's no way that any woman, can watch that movie without tears, because it touches the core of what every woman wants. Most little girls dream of this kind of love from the time they are able to understand their own thoughts.

While I cried my eyes out, and remembered, what it's like to have your heart broken, I also couldn't help remembering, how only the love of Jesus, is all I need to survive all of the heart breaks, this world can throw at me!

When people jump quickly to judge me, I don't blame them! I more than anyone remember my past. But it still hurts when people judge, because I am no longer that person. I now know who I am in Jesus Christ and I can now say that I love myself.

God has forgiven me everything, and though I do not want to dwell on what was, I want to never forget what God delivered me from. This keeps me from judging others. At times I slip of course but I now know instantly, when something is wrong because God and I are always connected.

I remembered yesterday through tears, and no matter what I lose in this life, whether it be a loved one, or some thing, I always have the greatest comforter with me, holding me through everything. I hope some day that all people will know, what it feels like to be held by God's arms. It is the most amazing thing.

It will always be possible for me to experience heart break, but I will never be shattered, because Jesus will always hold my pieces together. He is the unbreakable glue that holds my Heart and life. I love you Jesus Christ with every cell of my being, body, mind and soul! 

Thank you for loving me first! Thank you, for allowing me to love you so deeply in return. Thank you for being my intercessor and comforter!

1 Peter 1: 8    You love Him though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy.

Reflections

I looked into the mirror what did I see? 

I saw a stranger looking back at me

Who was this person that I saw? 

Look into the mirror, who do you see??

Look again, who do you see?

Do you like who you be?

I looked into the mirror

didn't like what was there

at the end of my rope

full of despair

I came upon a stranger

Jesus is His name

From the deepest pit i asked

and into my life He came

I look into the mirror, Who do I see?

My reflection has changed drastically

Now I see a person who is growing strong

For I now know to whom I belong

Day by day as Jesus leads, I am becoming

the one who God has called me to be

Only One Friend

 

 

No matter how hard you try to be a friend or how much time you put into looking or that perfect friend, you will never find it in a human because none of us could measure up to that standard.

There is ONLY ONE PERFECT FRIEND who is always there and will never let you down!

His name is JESUS CHRIST!

 

 

Isaiah 6:8

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying; who should I send? Who will go for us?

I said; here I am, send me!

What do you feel when you read this verse?

I feel fear in this verse because I never feel able to do what God asks...I am afraid to fail God.

What I forever need to remind myself is that I need to do it even though I feel fear.

It is God's power that I am to use and not my own. He is always with me!

I need to do it in the face of fear and just go for it!

May God give you the courage to step up for Him today!

Why Jesus For Me?

There are many in the world that want to discredit the Lord Jesus Christ, and take away His purity,  To say that He isn't who He says He is.

(THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE)!

Why do I believe in Jesus Christ?
I watched Satan for all of my childhood, destroy many lives, through alcoholism, and abuse of every kind.
I know I don't want to help his cause!
I looked for love in wrong places, for most of my life, and in return I've allowed people to abuse me, to use me and to make me feel like I am worth nothing. I no longer blame the people, who caused my pain through it all, because I know that I was the one who allowed it to happen. I also know, that there are many, who don't know just how worthy they are. Because their worth is tied up in the wrong things, that will never satisfy the heart.
The love that  I've found in Jesus, is an unconditional love, and He loves me for who I am. He knows the things of the world, that I've allowed inside me. Many years of bad habits, spoken curses, and bad thoughts I've believed, because of others nasty words to me. Jesus knows which parts of me needs to change, to peel off all of the bad, to expose the new , (Jesus is the only good found in me!).

As for worthiness, Jesus Christ gave His life, body, and blood, to death, hell, and the grave. I don't have to go through life alone, and Jesus reconciles me to my Almighty creator. I spend time in Jesus presence each day and nothing could take the place of that time in my life. Jesus is now again GLORIOUSLY ALIVE! He sits at The Father's right hand, ready to intercede for me, for you!

No offence to anyone, but I believe, in bending my knees before my beautiful Heavenly Father only! To let Him know that I love and respect His holiness, more than anything else in life! Jesus deserves every second of praise, that I muster up and more. Sometimes I think my praise is pitiful. There are way too many I's in most worship songs, and too few YOU O'LORD'S! We put ultimatums even in our praise.
I will run this race of life, by the power that comes in the name of Jesus, and I will keep the cross before me, only to remind me of where I was, and where I am. All glory to God for seeking me, and allowing me to love, and to believe, only in Him. Thank you O'LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!
I will forever love and praise the name of Jesus Christ, who gave all for me!
He did the same for you, will you accept Him?
