Think About It!

Think About That!

With all the violence and craziness going on around us right now it's easy to feel like a meaty little lamb chop just waiting to be captured and prepared for someone's dinner!!! Ok so I'm being a little dramatic but if you really think about it is it really that far from the truth? Even so, it is really important to remember that though we may feel completely alone at times, that we are NOT alone! Though danger may surround us, we need to remember to whom we belong.  Think about that!

Real Happiness!

I visited a senior gentleman, friend of my grandparents on the last day of his life. He told me that he knew that he wouldn't live to see another day, but that he was not only at peace with it but extremely happy and "waiting with baited breathe, pun, pun!" He smiled as he handed me a piece of hard candy wrapped neatly in a dinner napkin. As if to fill the uncomfortable silence that had now filled the room he asked me if I knew what happiness was. I thought his question to be strange, I mean isn't the definition of happiness kind of a personal thing after all? Without waiting for my reply he said, " happiness is an inside job!" I chuckled, and asked him what he meant. He winked at me and said, " you cant fabricate or fake happiness, and it sure as heck can't be found in anything we have or want. Instead he said, "it's an inside job it's the sum of you! I just smiled and he asked me to think about it and I promised I would. Mr. Motto is gone now, but I will never forget his words, wow talk about ancient wisdom or of the aged! You know, I agree with him! it is indeed an inside job, especially since one can only find true happiness if Jesus resides in us!

 

You are NOT alone!

 I know that many of us are really starting to feel fear creeping in! Our country, our world seems to be changing, and not for the better! People killing one another, rumors of coming food shortages, loved ones turning on one another and so on and so on.
  In the middle of the ominous darkness that seems to be
closing in, there is still good news! The good news is that even though it is easy to feel alone and hopeless we don't need to feel that way because we are NOT alone, or hopeless. Like a tiny child held safe not only in his or her father's arms, but in HIS strong and powerful hands, the very palm of His hand.
  The Word of God says that He has written your name on
the very palm of His hand. Yes, your name, and mine! You may be sick, you may be depressed, you may feel alone, unloved, an unimportant but you are not. You are loved, important, and beautiful!
   He is as close as your most inaudible whisper, or your
weakest cry. You need only call his name and He will answer
because He promised. Don't give up, you are not alone!

      Jesus loves you,
               and so do I!

T        Today I was thinking about Liberty, and Freedom, and Independence. I guess it's fitting being as today is Independence day. Most people get together on this day and have BBQ's, and spend time with loved ones. That is all well and good, it's great in fact, but today I kept thinking about what all those words mean to me. I of course can't speak for anyone else, so I asked myself what these words, this day means to me.
           I of course am thankful to all those who gave their lives so that you and I can enjoy
       this freedom, but I am thankful above all to God for this freedom that we enjoy, not only in the natural, but also in the spiritual realm! The Word of God says, "Greater love has no man, than that he lay his life down for his brother."
       I thank God for sending His son Jesus Christ so that you and I can be free from the curse of
sin and death, free from lack, and all that is connected to that curse. I am thankful to Jesus for shedding His precious, sinless blood so that I could be free! I am also thankful to the Holy Spirit for bringing me the Power that I need every minute of everyday, and all that the person of the Holy Spirit does for us and in us.
          I love my country, I love my freedom, my independence, but I love God most of all, because He first loved me.....Think about it!

JESUS loves you!
