A Love Not Lost


No place can we hide that He won’t find us.

In the beginning, we were one with God, then sin tempted us and we succumbed to the lure of the evil one. We became a lost people, doomed! Still God loved us. He wanted us to be one with Him like it was before. He missed us so much and wanted to hold us once again like He used to. But since sin cannot exist with God we were doomed to our isolation from Him. Then, God, who loves us so much created a plan for our salvation; a way in which we could be forgiven and everything between us and Him would be forgotten. Once again, God would be able to hold us, express His deep love for us. We would be His children once again, and He would be our heavenly Father. So, He sent His only Son, Jesus to rescue us. God knew He would have to cause Jesus to be sacrificed for our sins, but it was the only way. He grieved His method, but we are that special to Him! YOU are that special to Him! Even if you were the only one He could have and to hold He would have done it just for you.

At times when we feel left behind, unloved or neglected we can believe without any doubt we are special. We can believe we are loved beyond all measure because our awesome God loves us, really loves us! “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all -- how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32)

Do you need to be encouraged? You can be encouraged! Do you need to feel special? You are to Him! The apostle Paul said in (Romans 8:37-39) “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Be at peace my friend, you are not alone in your fears. You are a beloved child of the most high God. If you have feelings of separation, fear or doubt, now is your time to come close to your heavenly Father. This is your time to tell Him what is bothering you. He is waiting for you to tell Him what hurts. Go to Him.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is none less

Day before yesterday, I cooked up a pot of "killer" chili. Yeah, I know it's not winter and chili is better in the winter. I like chili all-year long. Well, my chili fixin' was killer alright, it tore our stomachs up something terrible. Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I was so wanting my day to be over - I wanted a new day without stomach problems. Every day, God allows us a "do-over" and we get a new chance at living. Today, thankfully, I am feeling over my chili malady and I (am) starting over. I have a new opportunity today to seek more of Jesus. First, I will pray for my family and friends that they see more of Jesus and that their lives and their today is better than yesterday. And then, I am praying our nation stops this political division and hatred that is sickening our people. God help us to love you more and realize without You we are lost. You are our new day and we praise You for it.

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
