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."

THIS I KNOW IS TRUE

“ We all like stars floating through the night,  Flit from place to place trying to find our proper orientation-our alignment-...like a moth drawn to the flame of a distant fire we find our homing beacon: our true flame, It pulses and beckons us to begin again, Rising through the night and stirring within us an instinct as eternal as time, What happens when two stars collide? Could you be my supernova? “ There is not much that I know of this world which is vast in mysteries I must admit, but the things that I do know for a fact resonate within me because of thier truth. The existential question of why we were created is not an easy one to answer, and I’m sure it ranks up there as one of the top questions on most people’s minds-mine as well. Along with finding one’s purpose, and being true to what you believe. However there is some thing that I do know to be true. It is love which is unfailingly unconditional; it is a love which allows you to look beyond illusions, and find the thin...

Dear Restless Heart

via Dear restless heart, be still; don't fret and worry so; God has a thousand ways His love and help to show; Just trust, and trust, and trust, until His will you know.   Dear restless heart, be still, for peace is God's own smile, His love can every wrong and sorrow reconcile; Just love, and love, and love, and calmly wait awhile.   Dear restless heart, be brave; don't moan and sorrow so, He hath a meaning kind in chilly winds that blow; Just hope, and hope, and hope, until you braver grow.   Dear restless heart, repose upon His breast this hour, His grace is strength and life, His love is bloom and flower; Just rest, and rest, and rest, within His tender power.   Dear restless heart, be still! Don't struggle to be free; God's life is in your life, from Him you may not flee; Just pray, and pray, and pray, till you have  faith  to see. --Edith Willis Linn

IN THE COOL OF THE DAY

And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day God delights to speak to us, and while He does often speak audibly and in a variety of ways, most often it is a still small voice in the cool of the day. It might be that time early in the morning when you're halfway between sleep and wakefulness, when your body and mind are both at rest, the myriad of upcoming daily activities not yet crossing your subconscious, and God not having to vie for your attention ...that's how it happens for me. I once heard a pastor describe God as a gentleman who won't force Himself on you, and that is so true...He gently speaks words of love to us, an unconditional love that stands this test of time, not that we ever did anything to deserve it, nor can we ever earn it : it is a gift. For God is love, and immutable, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Could it be that God is trying to speak words of love to you today?
