Beauty of His Cross

I took this picture of the sunset on Tuesday as I looked up I felt the presence of Gods Holy Spirit telling me I am with you everywhere, not just on trips to Seattle, the beaches, or when you travel but always..... I posted it in FB simply stating look up or see what we miss, feeling blessed.

I just got on FB and my friends were amazed at the beauty of the cross.

Somehow I missed that but God is good He uses others to point out what is right in front of us. The beauty of His Cross.

Praying you have a blessed day

 

 

Your presence and approval are all I need for everlasting joy.

As you have been to me, so I will be to others.

God will meet you were you are

God will meet you were you are. Whether it be when you pull over on the side of the road to smoke a cigarette in your car, out climbing in the hills of Yellowstone or just sitting where you are right now.

How awesome is that, how personal. It blows my mind how He can speak so uniquely to each one of us.  He has so much insight into what we are truly looking for, if we can just empty our minds of all the distractions and chaos and just be still. He will fill our minds richly with a peace and contentment that this world can not understand. His Holy Spirit will dwell in us and His message will become clear. He can inspire us in an instant if we are attune to the world He has perfectly orchestrated around us.

Joshua 1:9 "...be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified or discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

 



In that moment when we see the flower bloom or hear the wind blowing and it is calling your name, stop for we will become blessed by taking that moment to soak in His presence. Listen in faith to His still small voice, He wants to spend time with you,respond with adoration and worship, after all He is our King. The window is always open but sometimes that perfect fellowship with Him seems fleeting. So be aware and take heed of those moments, where ever you are for however briefly and soak in His presence, He has created that time just so He can connect with you.

Thank you Lord for creating us as we are, your word is true and never changes and you can reach us wherever we are.

You are a Good Good Father.

I know I've posted it before but here is one of my favorite songs by Chris Tomlin

God is Good: Can You Lead to Water.....

God is Good: Can You Lead to Water.....:     W e've all heard the saying, "you can lead a horse to water but can not make him drink." I wanted to try a little...

Can You Lead to Water.....

 

 

We've all heard the saying, "you can lead a horse to water but can not make him drink." I wanted to try a little experiment today, being it is 100 degree's and the birds are flocking at my window eating seeds, I wondered what if I added a water container next to it could I make them drink? As you can see from the picture and there were many other pictures taken, not one bird drank from the water.

 

 John 7:37-39 Jesus says, "If a man is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me will be filled with the living water." By this he meant the Holy Spirit.

                                          

How many have been given the opportunity to accept Christ and have turned Him away? Better yet how many of us are living a life so richly filled by our love of Christ that it makes others thirst for what we have.

 

John 7:4, Jesus answers, "Everyone who drinks the water I give him will never thirst again."

 

 

This world we are living in is searching to be filled, to be quenched in the water that will satisfy their soul. It is up to those who have received the gift of salivation to lead others to the well of eternity.

 

 

In His precious name I pray you have received the gift of the Holy Spirit and will saturate others with the love of Christ.

 

 



May we see His reflection
 despite the traffic in our lives



 

We live in a fallen world

It's the little things in life that truly bring us joy.

Many ask why does God "allow" bad things happen to good people. But maybe the question should  really be why are there bad people?

That is a question that we can answer. We were all born as sinners, some of us have been fortunate in our life to have not only heard, but to have received the message of salvation, and accepting Christ into our lives. For those that who have not heard or accepted the truth, they are the ones that struggle with darkness, they are the ones who are not saved, they have hardened there hearts and have not allowed the saving grace of our savior, to fill them with the His Holy Spirit. These are the people we need to pray for.  Praying for the saved who are sick, the financially broken, emotionally struggling and the list goes on is definitely something we should do. We should lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ, that is what the Christian family is suppose to do.

Matthew 5:44 .."love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you..."

Now not to sound cynical, but like my husbands doctor just told him, you can eat healthy, exercise do all the "right things", but in the end none of us get out of here alive.  WOW, how true is that, so yes live your life with intent and purpose, but that purpose should ultimately be having that peaceful relationship with Christ that no earthly possession or person can fulfill.

By living in a constant walk with Christ, our mission field is all around us. We will be the light of the world, so be happy, smile, His saving grace is all we need. He will reveal to us what true happiness. Recently joy came to me seeing my first sunflower bloom, next  was seeing the sunset on the way home from work. I share those things with co-workers and some say, "who has time to stop and look up at the sky?"  I'm like who doesn't have time,  our creator is sharing His most beautiful work of art, enjoy the gifts He has freely given us.

Those who's hearts are hardened who do not know the love of Christ, THAT IS WHO WE TRULY NEED TO PRAY FOR.  They are lost and going to hell, so why would they care if they hurt others? They do not see the beauty in life. They have no faith in a living God. Yes, we pray for all of those suffering, but when we are sick and know Christ we are blessed with the peace of eternity, despite any turmoil our lives our in.

Luke 6:32.."if you love those who love you what credit do you have?....35 "but love your enemies, do good to them expecting nothing in return..."



Those filled with hate, those are the ones we really need to pray for, their minds have been brainwashed, their humanity stolen, the joy of a sunset none existent. Their lives are true tragedies,  and will suffer for eternity, because they do not know the truth.

Pray for the lost. Stand United in Faith. Love those around you and Hug all those you can, you never know if you will be the first and only glimmer of hope in someone life.


In Christ Precious Name I Pray.
Peace be with you all,

May we see His reflection

Thankfulness



 

 

Colossians 2:2-3 "....that you may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden ALL the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.  Col 2:6 "As you received Jesus Christ as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with THANKFULNESS."

Thank you Lord for being a mystery, it creates in me a yearning to seek and learn of you more.
Thank you Lord for letting me know my true treasure, your promise of eternity with you.
Thank you Lord for building the foundation of trust I have in you.
Thank you Lord for strengthening me with your word, by speak through scripture and through others.
Thank you Lord for your consistency so I can say, I have faith because I know you were and always will be there for me.
Thank you Lord for joy, for being filled by your spirit, when circumstances around me say I should be feeling different.
Thank you Jesus, for every time I think I've arrived, you let me know the road has just begun.
Thank you for letting me see opportunities in every situation and forgive me for not always taking them.
Thank you for impressing upon me to never be idol and forgive me when my I stand motionless.
Thank you Lord for letting me enjoy life's moments, and not being sad when they go, for I know you will have more to come.
Thank you Lord for my gifts and forgive me for not always taking opportunities to use them for your glory.
Thank you Lord, for your divine intervention in my life and for being patient with me when I am slow to let go.
Thank you Lord, for not letting me look back with regret, but with eyes that see you have used every situation to create the person you intended me to be.
Thank you Lord for your love, when I cried out in pain, when I struggled with my demons, you were always there.
Thank you Lord, simply for letting me be thankful.
Thank you Lord for letting me be happy.
May your praise me forever on my lips.

God you are so good. You bring us together to praise you Lord.
