The Good News!


 Christ died for us while we were yet sinners

Hear the good news! We have the love of our God even though there is nothing we have done, or could ever do to earn His love. He simply loves us because He created us as His own, and we are all in His exact image. We are His children, and He is our heavenly Father. We can even call Him “daddy” or Abba. Our Father is never far away, He is always here with us, to watch over us, and to direct our little footsteps. We are blessed by Him every day of our lives even though we may not be aware of His constant, reassuring hand upon our shoulders.

When I was a child my earthly father was always busy just trying to earn a living for his family. He got home late many times and worked on Saturdays a lot to earn enough money to keep my mom, my little brother and me in a nice home, with food on the table, and clothes on our back. I appreciate all he did for us. He was a good father and a good man. I don’t feel like I knew him very well though. He was gone a lot. There were too many times I wanted to go fishing with him, get him to go to the YMCA on Saturdays with me and just do a lot of things some dads do with their sons. I wish it could have been different. He’s long since gone now. Looking back now, we never got to talk about much about his hopes and dreams or mine. I wish we could have. I loved my dad.

Our heavenly Father is never too busy to listen to our hopes, our dreams or our fears. He never leaves our side even when we disobey Him and disappoint Him. I know He is always right here ready to love me. He is here for you too! He loves you and me so much He caused His Son Jesus to die for us, to save us and to take away all our sicknesses (Psalm 103:3). He made a promise to us to never leave us or desert us.

How long has it been since you’ve gone into to Him (in prayer) and asked; “Daddy, I need to talk to You about something that’s really bothering me…can I talk to You? And, Daddy, will you just hold me? You see, I am scared, and I don’t know what I’m going to do about this situation of mine! I need Your help.”

Don’t be afraid to act like a child. These are the times when you can. You see Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3).

So again I say, “Hear the good news!” Christ has come. He has made it possible for you and me to go directly to our heavenly Father! Behold! Your Abba Father is here…He is listening now for your voice. Go and speak to Him, now is your time!

“A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, / and good news gives health to the bones” (Proverbs 15:30).

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...
