Humbled By God's Majesty

Praising God for being alive. Knowing that my life is in God's hands no matter what. He works all for the greater good to them which He has called according to His purpose. I trust in Him completely because He knows what is best for me and for each one of us.

I am humbled by God's majesty. We are His creation as is the whole of nature, the animals and all the land and sea, the sky. He made all this for our benefit so that we could serve His purpose upon this earth. He cares so much for us that he gave His only begotten Son as the ultimate sacrifice , the highest price paid, for the redemption of our sins. No greater Love is there than this that a man lay down his life for another. I rejoice in the knowing of my Father God. I weep tears of joy and my heart and soul are so at peace knowing that He allows me to be a part of His plan.

He has blest me in so many ways. My children, He has given me and I have raised them to serve Him as I promised Him I would. I have kept my promises to God and this is part of what God ask of each of us to be true to the promises we make to Him. He knows of it all and with Him all things are possible. We only limit ourselves because we can not envision what we need to. God wants us to live our life for Him not for ourselves and when we do not live our life the way God wants us to then we have placed limits upon ourself. We can not serve Him to our greatest ability or capacity if we are not being true to the life He wants us to live. Make yourself a willing vessel for the Father and He will use you in His service.

God is awesome. I will continue to praise Him in this life and in the next, in glory with Him.Precious Saviour He is.

I sing Your Praises Father Most High. You are Almighty God and I love You. Thank You for all that You have done and all that You are. Thank You for all the many blessings in my life. You are awesome. Thank You Jesus. Amen.

Time Is Precious

Time is too short and too precious to be wasted upon things that hinder us in our walk with the Lord. Why spend time being angry about something you can't change ? Just move on and let it go. God will take care of it. God knows of everything and anything that takes your time, your mind and your heart off of him is wrong. So let go of any negative thing , whether it is anger, wrong that has been done you, don't dwell on it because God has greater things planned.

We had such an awesome Church service this morning at the Church where my parents attend. The message was a question, "What does being saved mean to you ?" My answer is " everything ". Being saved from my sins means that one day soon I will be Home with Jesus and I am looking forward to that. Jesus shed His precious Life's Blood for each of us. That is awesome.

What would your answer be to that question " What does being saved mean to you ?", if it were asked of you ? I know what my answer is and I have shared that with you. Think about this question and truly take it to heart and see what your answer is.

Father God is Love divine. Yes He chastises us if we stray but it is because He cares for us. He is daily preparing each of us, that are His children, to one day make that final journey Home. To me there is nothing worth wasting the precious time that God has given us to serve and worship Him and to teach others of Him, there is nothing worth wasting that precious time upon. Things of this world aren't worth wasting precious time on. Disappointments, anger, strife, sin , none of these are worth wasting the precious time God has given us to serve Him upon . Use the time God has given you wisely in service to Him and not in service to man and the world.

Just , for a moment, imagine that you knew you would die tomorrow. How would you change the way you spend your time ? Would you turn and go to the world ? Would you go out and party, drink , eat, be merry in, of, and with the world ? Would you go spend lots of money on things of the world, buy wine, women or men, and fulfill the lust of the flesh? Or, would you use it wisely to serve God and help those you care about ? Would you spend the time with those you should and let them know you care ? Would you make a difference for God and spread His message of love and redemption in the time you had left? Would you let nothing or no one stand in the way of doing what God says is the right thing to do ? Would you turn away from the world and turn to God knowing you would die tomorrow ?

My sister in law wrote a song a long time ago. God gave it to her and it is Called " If Jesus Came Tomorrow What Would You Do Then ? ". It goes on to say would you beg Him for forgiveness or reach out and take His hand. But you know the sad thing about it all is that if Jesus did come tomorrow none of us would have another chance to change. Once He comes back in the clouds of glory we will either go to Heaven or go to Hell. There will be no more chances to change. How you have lived your life up to the time that He comes back , at the moment of His coming back, you will be judged. No more chances, you will either go to Heaven or Hell.

Sometimes God lets us know when our time is coming. He lets us know so we can serve Him to the best of our ability to make a difference for Him in the life of someone .He lets us know so we will let our light shine brightly for Him until He calls us on Home. He promised us that if we chose to serve Him , He would bless us in it all. For serving Him is reward enough because He is Almighty God and I love Him so.

Please don't waste what time you have left on this earth by serving the devil, the world and it's ways. Turn to Jesus before it's to late. Tomorrow could very well be your last day upon this earth. Spend it making a difference for God and for those you care about and for others by sharing God with them.

Sunset

The day is done , the sunset has begun. Sunset is an awesome time of day. A time to reflect upon the relevance of your day.

How did you spend it ? What difference did you make in your life or in someone elses life today ? How did you make a difference ? Did you use today as wisely as you should have ? Or did you waste the precious gift of time by merely existing in a world that you created of your own, alone ?

Did you say a kind word to your neighbor today ? Did you spend some time with your children ? Did you tell them you love them ? What about your spouse, your boyfriend or girlfriend ? How did you share something special with any of them in this day. It doesn't take but a few moments to let someone know how much you love and appreciate them and what they do. Tell them how much they mean to you. Take the time to stop and truly appreciate each person in your life for who they are and for the light they bring into your life each day.

When you stood in line at the grocery store did you complain about having to wait ? Or did you take the time that you were waiting and speak to the person in line next to you ? Did you smile at that person or make eye contact with them ? When you went for lucnh did you complain about having to stand in line and wait ? Or did you take the time you were waiting in, to make plans for later in the day? While waiting in line instead of just standing there fuming because you have to wait, take that time and make it productive. Talk to the person next to you. They might be having a really hard day but something you say or a smile you may give them just might brighten their way. You never know how a kind word or a smile will affect someone. Your smile or kind word just might be the only smile or kind word that this person may get through out the whole day. And if they think back upon your smile or your words and it helps them through their day, then you have done okay. You have helped someone else to know that out in this world there is someone who cares.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the effects that a smile or kind word has upon another person. Tell your child you are proud of it when you get home. Give your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend a compliment. Thank your mom and dad for the sacrifices they have and are making on your behalf each day. Don't take those you love for granted. Let them know you appreciate what they have and what they are doing for you. Pick a flower and marvel at the beauty in it, the colors , the way it is made. Take time for yourself and for others. The rewards you get in return are worth it.

God made a beautiful world in so many ways.Share the world that God has made with those you love and those you come in to contact with each day. You never know until you try. If you never try you will never know. Share with others and they will share with you.
