Standing Firm'

Fully committed’ this is where I want to be.
Standing on solid ground, devoted to my Lord.
I need to be steadfast, and stay firm in my beliefs.

When I stumble, and when I fall’ lift me to my feet
For I know the path of righteousness, was never meant to be smooth.
I shall over come the hardships, and within’ them I will grow.

I need to take the straight path and turn right.
Be that beacon of light, for others to see.
Please use me as a vessel’ in your service, for your glory.

I give you my Hands, to reach out to others,
I give you my Feet, to walk out of my comfort zone,
I give you my Voice, for me to witness for you,
I give you my Heart, to be filled’ with your desires.
I give you my All ~ in All.

For you are the Great I Am, for you I give My All

Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Psalm 51:10

So, if you think you are standing firm,
be careful that you don't fall!
1 Corinthians 10:12

When Life Pulls You Down'

When Life Pulls You Down ~

The forces of life can truly pull you down, but I feel with God & being Christ Like, we can all learn to love & care unconditionally for all His children…we cannot shut the lost out without looking within ourselves. For we all have skeletons & sin in our lives . We need to be open to struggles and be there for the lost. We need to remember that the one who matters most has not and will not ever shut us out…yes there will be moments of wanting to give up - but where would we be as followers of Christ…

God doesn't want anyone to be lost, but wants "ALL" people to come to repentance and turn to Him. - Acts 17:30, 2 Peter 3:9

I to feel like giving up - where would that put me…hard and bitter and is that what Our Lord God has wanted for any of us. How can we keep looking at the sin in another when we have sins within us. Yes in Gods Eye a sin is a sin. Harsh words to hear yes. But oh so true..

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
 - Matthew 7:3

Christ suffered because of others' sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all & was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God.

Where does that leave us? Are we being Christ Like? - We are called to be a Vessel of Gods Love & Mercy - ask your self “where would I be if God gave up on me?”

If we say that a person is not going to amount to anything, we are going against God’s Word and speaking the opposite of the Word. When we speak opposite of His Word, we are saying that we have given up on God and given into the god of this world, the producer of hopelessness.

“What is impossible with men is possible with God.” - Luke 18:27

If we give up on them and they have no Faith, God cannot move in their lives because He moves on Faith. Someone has to stand firm on his or her behalf. The one to stand in the gap is you and me, the born again believer.

What we all need, whether we realize it or not, is a trustworthy source of faith - a faith that would only grow over time, not be diminished or disappointed. Jesus stood strong for us. He never gave up. His love for us drove Him to the cross.

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God loves sinners—He loves them right into His arms. Jesus Christ did not die for His friends, but for His enemies. He died for the unlovable and the unlovely. - Romans 5:8

Tough love & truth comes in many ways, and in this we can only Pray. This world we live in is hard yes…Jesus walked the same paths. And held true to his father…for he even forgave his killers…

'I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me.' - Matthew 25:40

Clouds in Life

Clouds in Life

We shall have clouds of many varieties within our lives; the opening of ones eyes gets us through them. Beyond those clouds, we can find many colors of love and joy, held within our hearts. It is a way of learning and seeking out what is most important, beyond those clouds there is a rainbow, a promise from above. Yes’ beauty can be found within our moments of cloudiness.

Quiet times of peace, a moment to reflect on what is truly important, seeing gifts of kindness and the love were getting through the darkest of clouds, can bring faith and belief in the unseen or unknown. Its how we view those moments that mean so much, hard times become our strength, seeking answers from Our Lord. Giving of your undivided, attention to His Word in return helping us.

The giving of ones heart in times of trouble to another lifts the clouds from another and brightens there own. Being a vessel of comfort and love shines through. An act of stepping out of our clouds to help another brings many forms of emotions, which transform what we may feel. Even a cloud of darkness, into a glow of sunshine to light up those times of feeling alone, by what we may feel is a cloud of despair.

Clouds can confuse and distract from what is being said or seen, let go of the overcast of gloom you may feel, let the cloud of despair go. Break through them and feel the meaning of the moment. When feeling uncertain, confused, or unclear - look for Sunshine found within the clouds. It’s there for all to see, let go of the clouds of disappointment. Going through those trials and tribulations brings us closer to the brightest star.

For Jesus is Our Bright Morning Star. - Rev 22:16
