To Wonder & Ponder...

is swimming in my head. I feel like I am missing a vital piece of life right now. What is it that I am suppose to be doing that I'm not doing? I have asked myself this question for a couple of days now, and last night - the answer hit me like a ton of bricks. God said to me, in the way that He speaks to me, Spend more time with Me! Read My Words & Come to My Throne. As much as I want to say that I do & have & will, I know that I fall short of spending time with the Creator of time.

Why is it that we chase rabbits and not focus on what really matters? Why do we "test the waters" so to speak and see what it's like without God being present in our lives? We all fall short. We all miss the mark. We all sin. Maybe that is why there are so many times that we don't go to Him in prayer and spend time in His presence. We are scared to admit we are wrong & that we are not worthy.

Pride says we are worthy...and pride is wrong. The world says we are to be justified...God says that only He is justified. So what is missing? I don't know what is missing for you, but for me I know that it is trust...or lack of trust. I don't know why I don't trust God. I mean I do trust God...but then fear sets in and I want to take back all control...control that I never had to begin with, so it goes back to trust. Can I really trust God with EVERYTHING? I know I want to & I know I believe. My belief needs to manifest into trust...so that is where I need to begin to work...on trusting God in Christ Jesus for everything.

~Peace & Blessings~

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
