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.

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...

SPRING

I love the changing seasons, but their is just something special about Spring. I wake up to the sweet symphony of a dozen birds, the trees are dressed their very best-decked out in the prettiest blossoms, and it's as if all of nature is the new star of a sold out play. " SPRING IS HERE " It's a time of re-birth and renewal, and I can't help but feel optimistic about the future. It's inspiring to know that no matter how dark and cold the season of Winter may be, that Spring is waiting just around the corner.

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...
