Gifts

"Jesus, You see our needs, & always provide!"

My Facebook status today.

How completely true!

Oh, the many blessings He gives to us daily.

All of His children.
Every single one.

More often than not,
We don't even give Him credit.

"It's a coincidence," we say.

"What good luck," we say.

When all along,
it's a blessing from the Lord.

Why do some of us
fail to acknowledge
Him?

We should know...

James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above. All gifts that truly bless us are God's gifts."

Do Not

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:41:27 +0100

Do not stare at me as I walk by...

Unless it is to wonder & marvel at the
Joy
In my eyes,
Peace
In my heart,
Contentment
With my life & circumstances.

Do not laugh at or cry for me.

You see, I have found the

Peace that Surpasses All Understanding.

It is a free gift,

One I am so willing to share...

They call Him

JESUS!!!

Absolute Certainty

Fri, 20 Aug 2010 18:07:13 +0100

"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life."
1 John 5:13

It seems
impossible
to be
absolutely
certain
of
eternal
life.

Yet this is Your invitation.

Show me
what it means
to live
as though
it is true
today.

Take away any

doubts

or

fears

that
may be
holding
me
back
from
living
in

Your

absolute
truth!

In Your Son's Mighty Name I Pray...

Humility/Humanity

Thu, 19 Aug 2010 00:57:06 +0100

"Blessed
are the meek,
for they will
inherit
the
earth."
Matthew 5:5

Without
humility,
there can
be no
humanity.
Sir John Buchan

Jesus Is Love

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:51:57 +0100

Isn't it more important
to show your neighbor

the

love

of

Christ,

than to bombard them
with all of the reasons
why they should believe
as you do,
& why
what they believe
is wrong?

Do you
honestly
believe
that this
is how

Jesus

wants us
to win
more souls for

Him?

To scare them into believing?

Saints,

Satan

uses all kinds of methods.

He

deceives us daily.

He

convinces us
that we are
the way we are,
that we act
the way we act,
that we say
the things we say,

out of a great love for

Christ.

And we believe him.

Jesus
          is
              LOVE.

He does not need us to fight His battles for Him.

Rather,
            we are to share
                                    The
                                         Good
                                                  News,

not
     the
         bad.

Finding Peace

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:47:15 +0100

And this is the
boldness
we have in
Him,

that if we
ask anything
according to
His
will,

He
hears us.

And if we know
He
heard us
in whatever we ask,

we know that we
have obtained
the requests
made of
Him.

1 John 5:14-15

Thank

You

for hearing my heart today,

Lord.

And may I find peace,
peace that surpasses all understanding,

in knowing that sometimes

Your

answer is "Yes,"

Sometimes

Your

answer is "Wait,"

and sometimes

Your

answer is "No."

JUSTIFICATION, RESTORATION, RECONCILIATION

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:04:35 +0100

Be angry,

but do not sin;

do not let the sun

go
    d
      o
       w
         n
           on your anger.

Ephesians 4:26

Today,
should anger bubble up,
I will silently consider:

Would I rather restore the relationship,
or
keep seeking to justify my actions?

Perhaps the very reason this was put in the scriptures is
because none of us knows what tomorrow holds,
or what tomorrow may bring.

Let each of us become

reconciled

with one another,

& with God,

before it's too late...

Behold

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:49:58 +0100

Behold,

             I am

the

            LORD,

the

       God of all flesh;

is there
anything
too hard
for

               me?

(Jeremiah 32:27)

Says
       the
               human,

                    "No,

                            nothing!!"

Failing to appreciate...

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:16:22 +0100

Happiness

will
never
come

to those

who

fail

to

appreciate

what
they

already

have.

God Steps In

Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:06:06 +0100

As my

beloved

mother

told the doctors,

back in 1986,

when they told her
they had done
all they could
do for me,

& she should
find a
nursing home
to put me in,

"You're just

the doctors;

you're not

God!"

When
the doctors
have done
all they can do,

God

steps

in!!
