Perfection

Revelation 21:3-4 (Contemporary English Version) I heard a loud voice shout from the throne: God's home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be his own. Yes, God will make his home among his people. He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.

This is what Jesus paid for, so we would have the privilege of abiding with God for eternity. He will wipe away every tear from our eyes, I know you and I have cried many tears and it will be awesome for God to remove our tears and replace them with His joy. There will be no death, we will never say goodbye to our friends and family again. There will be no gossip, no war, no rebellion, no fears, no sorrow, no broken hearts, no rejection; all these things will be gone. We will fellowship with God, worshiping Him for all eternity. If we have chosen not to accept Jesus’ gift of eternal life with Him then we will spend eternity in hell where there will be crying and anguishing forever. With a choice like this why would anyone choose hell? Thank You Jesus for paying a debt that I could never pay.

Run Straight

Proverbs 15:9-10 (The Message) A life frittered away disgusts GOD; he loves those who run straight for the finish line. It's a school of hard knocks for those who leave God's path, a dead-end street for those who hate God's rules.

Why do we insist on wasting our time taking the wrong paths? We chase everything but the call God has placed on our lives.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Renew our desire to fulfill that call You placed on us from our youth. Forgive us for taking so many detours along the way. You have placed everything we need within us and within our reach. Our vision has been short, please expand our sight, enlarge our territory. Open our eyes, open our hearts. Lord keep our calling before us at all times, help us to always remember and place You first in everything we do. We love You, in Jesus Name, amen.

Love and God Bless,

Trust the Lord

Proverbs 3:5-7 (New American Standard Bible) Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.

In today’s world we understand trust but we just do not have it. We think we can take on everything and handle it ourselves. “Do you trust Me? “ That is the message I received in my prayers Sunday morning. “Do you trust Me?” That means do I trust God with my children, with my spouse, with my job, my everything. Am I holding anything back? Do I really trust Him with everything? Trust the Lord is easy to say but hard to let go and let God take control. Trust.

Love and God Bless,

God's Order

Joshua 18:3-4 (New International Version) So Joshua said to the Israelites: "How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you? Appoint three men from each tribe. I will send them out to make a survey of the land and to write a description of it, according to the inheritance of each. Then they will return to me.

How many of us would had just decided that we have been with these people long enough, it’s time to care for our immediate family and ourselves? These people has been together for over forty years, they had fought together. They had seen all their parents pass away in efforts to get where they are. They were so close to being home that they could taste the milk and honey. Yet they waited, they finished their fight, and then Joshua had them set out boundaries. Once the boundaries were in place then the land was given out to possess. God is a God of order, in the proper order God blesses. Life is not a free for all, everything has a place and time. Our time and place must operate in God’s order. We must not try to step ahead of God’s will, we must follow His plan be in His order.

Love and God Bless,
