Sacrificial Love

There is a love that is stronger than death.
A love that reaches across time, distance, your yesterday, and your tomorrow.
This love whispers "Not that one, that one is my anointed, that one is my beloved.
Touch not one hair on their head."
We are in a battle, and this battle is not against flesh and blood, but against evil in high places.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
In this life everything is not as it seems, we have an enemy and he has come to steal, kill, and destroy.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10
And if the story ended their then it would be a hopeless battle, a forever night.
But God.
God reaches across the chasm formed by sin, and lays His son on the altar ...for us.
And if that had been the end, that would have been a bitter sweet story.
But He rose again.
Yes the Passover lamb, the Savior of the world, rose again.
His name is Jesus.
Because of Him I can live, because of His sacrifice I lay my life down daily, and say have your way Lord.
For I can trust the Man who died for me.
I can trust the One who loves me more, and deeper than anyone could possibly attempt to.
So the battle is won, it is finished He said. Still the enemy who is perishing desires to blind the eyes of many, he would doom others with a fate similar to his, for he is hate, envy, and lies personified, and as much as God loves, he despises.
But God.
Has given us weapons that are not man made, weapons that tear down strongholds.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.
2 Corinthians 10:4
So what can we surmise from this ? In all things God has made us overcomers.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11
It doesn't mean that we won't go through difficult times in this life, but it does mean that God will always cause us to triumph.

Jesus is Mighty to Save

The joy of the Lord is our strength...it is not contingent on outward circumstances, feelings, or what we can readily see. God is strong, He is mighty to save, and like the good Father that He is, He cares about every area of our lives. He desires that in all things we would prosper, even as our soul prospers. He is never far away from our cries, no matter how isolated we may sometimes feel, He is closer than our very breath. No matter what raging sea lies before you threatening to engulf your very life, remember that we serve a God who can still the waves. No matter what furnace you find yourself standing in, remember that we have a Lord who walks in the fire with us, and keeps us from being burned by the flames . Is anything too hard for God? Trust Him, at the appointed time He will move on your behalf. “In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭18:6‬ ‭ESV‬‬ http://bible.c

Blindsided

Sometimes the things you don’t see coming in life can blindside you the most: such as a family member being diagnosed with one of those scary words, that somewhere in the back of your mind you thought was reserved for TV medical dramas. I’ve learned that God is so much bigger than any fear that may try to creep into our heart. We’re human: flesh, and blood, God remembers our frame that we are dust...but He is eternal, our God who gives strength to the weak, and power to the powerless. I remember at what felt like my most hopeless moment, in a pit of disbelief at what was happening around me, and feeling so utterly alone, suddenly I could feel God’s Presence, palpably...it felt like I was surrounded totally, in His arms. The angst, and worry flew away, and I was completely at peace, and felt I could get through the rest of the day. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, and is available to give us this comfort if we will come to Him. We don’t have to have it all together. Perhaps in your momen

BEAUTIFUL EYES

These eyes of mine they see into the heart-right to the very core of you, Footsteps treading on promises untold and avoiding fragile dreams, When I sleep my soul grows wings and flies to faraway lands, Up up up she soars until she reaches a distant star, With eyes wide shut I smile because she takes me where you are,
