The Decision


                                                                                
 A few weeks ago I was stuck in an elevator, it was only for about 15 minutes, but to me it felt like half a lifetime. As I stood in the elevator waiting -as that was the only thing I could do- I began to talk to God. I asked Him for His help, and really the only words I could muster  were "Help me Jesus." 
He hears those prayers too you know, it doesn't have to be a long oration, filled with elegant words. He even answers the unspoken prayers of our hearts, the pain we think we have safely and neatly locked away, in the deep recesses of our hearts-He sees those too. We always have an Advocate praying for us,when we can't pray for ourselves. Romans 8:26 ESV "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words."
As time went by for me in that elevator as slow as molasses, I was reminded of how small I really am, how big God is, and how little control I really have. We try to control so many facets of our lives, but God holds this world in His hands. He is the Author of all things, it is His will that will prevail. 
Acts 17:28 NIV For in him we live and move and have our being.’[a] As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
I remember at one point I said, Jesus is this it for me? Wondering if it was my time to die, and I remember feeling really peaceful because after all, I'd get to be with the love of my life. I felt a great assurance that if I died that day, I would be with Jesus in paradise. Friend can you say the same? Have you made Jesus your Lord and saviour ? The Bible says if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 NIV "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Don't let another day go by without making a choice to confess, and believe in the gospel. It is the good news, and it changes the life definitively. Tomorrow is promised to no one, and one day all the world will have to stand before God, and answer one question : what did you do with my Son? 
1 Peter 1:24 NLT  "As the Scriptures say, "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades."

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,
