Perfect Rest

                        via: feel-planet.com


Their is a perfect rest that remains for the people of God. A perfect peace in the midst of storms. An anchor in the eye of the storm. His name is Jesus. You see when He stretched His hands out on the cross, and declared it was finished, He meant it. So now, we who are in Christ no longer have to strive, and strain for acceptance from God. Now we get to come freely as children, because as Jesus is so are we in this world. 1 John 4:17. We all have those days where we fall short : lose our temper in traffic , harbor unforgiveness-whatever that purported failure may look like in your life-and the enemy likes to run in like a flood and happily point out all our flaws, but their is something we need to remember, and engrave on the tablets of our hearts : our righteousness is of Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21. Because of Christ's finished work-it is not of ourselves, therefore no man may boast-we can stand confidently before the throne of God. Hebrews 4:16. Jesus did what no one on earth, ever could : He lived a perfect life, and His love ran red on the cross.  Now how certain and immovable should our hope be, knowing that the One who loved us more than His own life, now lives enthroned in glory ? He is our beautiful living hope . What can we conclude from this? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31.

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...
