Thankful

Happy for each moment that God grants me on earth and all those people He brings into our lives to be a source of encouragement through the difficult times. Thank you Lord.

Reminding everyone to smile...God sees everything. God knows all.

Smile... God is in Control...

I am learning to be thankful in whatever situation I find myself in--whether good or bad. Knowing that God has a purpose and plan for my life is comforting. Believing that He is omniscient and all powerful, helps me realize that God is never taken by surprise. He knows about our situations that we experience-the love, the hate, the joy and the pain we sometimes go through even before we experience it. We may not fully understand why God allows certain things to happen to us or why they enter our lives, but rest assured He has a plan. The bible says, "His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways". We have been misled by a popular doctrine which paints the Christian life as being a path paved with perfection and endless blessings. Based on my experiences I know that every difficult situation God allowed into my life came with opportunity. That's right! An opportunity to experience an aspect of God in a different way. With saddness, I experienced God's comfort. With heartbreak, I experienced His love. With discouragement and situations that made me feel so frail in this life, I experienced His strength. So in every situation (good and bad), especially the bad, it may be hard but remember to smile at the end of the day, for Our Lord Jesus Christ has a plan and more importantly a purpose and He is providing an opportunity for you to get to know Him and experience the blessings of His love, mercy and grace.
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Blessed

Break

I will step away from this blog for awhile as I spend time before God, in figuring out what to do next in life, where to go, what to pray for. Please pray that God's will will ultimately be done in my life. May He also work wonders in your life and bring you to where He wants you to be. Amen.

I know who holds tomorrow

Here is a song that has been on my heart today. I wanted to share it to remind someone out there of God's faithfulness. I too need this reminder, daily and constantly. Things are far from perfect in my life right now but I rest assured of one thing in a time of loneliness and what seems like complete uncertainity: God is in control and where He leads me I will certainly follow. So Lord lead me and help me to keep my eyes and heart steadfast upon you.  May this song bless your heart as it has blessed mine.

Song by the Nelson's

I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to gray
I don't worry o'er the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside Him
For He knows what is ahead

Chorus:
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand

I don't know about tomorrow
It may bring me poverty
But the one who feeds the sparrow
Is the one who stands by me
And the path that be my portion
May be through the flame or flood
But His presence goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood

What are you doing with the treasure ?

A few moments ago my heart was tremendously encouraged through a broadcast that God allowed me to see. I wanted to take this time to share a little about what  God taught me. The broadcast was filmed by a Christian ministry that featured the lives of prisoners in various states--some suicidal and others desperate and hopeless, convicted by their crimes seeking forgiveness. I watched fellow brothers and sisters enter the prisons to visit them and bring them the gospel. The one true Gospel that has the power to convert and transform their lives. It was in this moment I thought to myself, I have a priceless treasure, God has revealed His Son to me, He has opened my eyes to see the truth. What am I doing with this treasure ?  What will you choose to do with yours ? With the knowledge of Our Saviour, with the testimony He has given you ?

What are you doing with the gospel ? Have you forgotten it ? Or are you sharing it ? Are you surpressing it ? Or are you releasing it to the world ? God forbid, if we've become ashamed of it.

There are so many people in the world that feel invisible, like no one cares. To reach out to those who have given up or are on the verge of giving up hope by reaching out with the truth of God is a blessing and one of a lifetime. God has chosen you brothers and sisters in Christ to go into all the world with this precious priceless treasure and share it.

No amount of money can purchase the love of God.  As we have freely received, we must also freely give. What are you doing with the treasure ? If you aren't doing anything... then start today, start this minute. Pray for God to use you as He desires. Pray for boldness and courage to share the gospel.

                                                             
Heb. 4:12

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Eph 2: 4-9

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
