You Can Run, But You Can't Hide

      "If we say we have no sin, we are fooling ourselves, and the truth is not in us."  (1 John: 1:8)

There is no way to justify sin in our lives; no way to just gloss over them.  Sometime, when we go to God with our sin, all we want is a covering; an easy way out.  How can God heal what we deny?  How can He touch what we cover up?

      What does God have to say about all this dodging around sin in our lives?

God will come to you when you lead a blameless life.  You must not look upon evil things of this world, and have nothing to do with such them that do.

Our God reins over all.  It is our Lord who made you and you are His child.  Our Lord is great and is worthy of all our praises.  The splendor of His holiness causes the world to tremble; In His great name, all the earth all will bow down.

When your foot starts to slip, and anxiety is great within you, in His great mercy He is always there in His great love to support you and bring consolation to your soul.  How great is our God.

God's Signiture

"Before I made you in your mother's womb, I chose you", (Jeremiah 1:5)

It's no acccident that you are in the world; you are a gift to the world.

We are't the only creatures with flesh, blood, and heart.

What makes us special is God,s signiture on our lives.

We are His works of art;  created in His image to do good.

We are significant not because of who we are, but because of whose we are.

The Powerful Sight of God

What does worship me to you?   In Psalm 34:3,  O, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name together.  Worship is the act of glorifying Gold  Enlarging our vision of Him changes our perception  of Him

"Holy, Holy,  Holy,  Lord, God Almighty".  That says it all.

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I might dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord .and to seek Hm in His temple.  For in the day of trouble , He will k33 me safe in his dwelling.

Who Made You God, the Judge?

It is so easy to be the judge when its you that's been hurt.  Some will rehash the same hurt every chance they get with anyone who will listen.

One question?  Who made you God, the Judge?  "Vengence is Mine" declares the Almighty.  I will repay".  (Hebrew 10:30).  "Wait for the Lord, and He will make things right", (Proverbs 20:22).

You are assuming God can't do it when you take over.  Revenge is irreverent.....to forgive someone is to display reverence.

Forgiveness is not saying the other guy was right, it's stating that God is faithful and will handle it justley.

That, my friend, is called trusting God.  The Bible says He is our refuge our strength an ever-present help in trouble.  Who are we to fear.  Not even if the earth gave way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam.  There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the Holy place where the Most High dwells.

He says to us, "Be still and know that I am God", (Psalm 46:10)

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self controlled set your hope fully on the grace to be given when Jesus Christ is revealed.  How great is our God.  Do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.  But just as He called you is Holy, so be Holy in all you do.

Since you call on a Father who judges each mans work impartially, live your lives in righteousness.  For you know is was not with perishable things such as silver and gold that your were redeemed from the empty way of life, but with the precious blood of Christ

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth, love your brothers, love one another deeply from the heart.

When does Salvation Come?

"Those who believe in the Son have eternal life, but those who do not obey the Son will never have life", (John 3:36)

Salvation comes when we look to Christ, embrace Him, and run to Him out of our love.  You finally decide to stop going through the motions, and say, "Lord Jesus now, I don't want to go another day without You".

You finally realize God  the Lover, God the Giver, God the Savior, erased clouds of doubt and took you just the way you were.  Now you think of God alone; your great Almighty One, who looks after you.

But, there are some who do not believe; they don't trust the promise.  If they would only try; test it.  But  God is as polite as He is passionate and He will never force His way in.  There choice.

It's sad because His love reaches the heavens, His faithfulness just as high; His righteousness is like the mighty mountains and His justice like the great deep.  Both high and low amoung men find refuge in the shadow of  His wings.  For with God there is the fountain of life and love.

My blessed Savior lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.  He put a new song in my heart.  May your love and truth always protectd me.

Thank you for Your amazing grace.  There was nothing I cou;ld do to make You love me more...and there is nothing I can do to make You love me less. O, how you love me, and did before the foundations of the earth.  You chose me.  Praise Your Holy Name.  Your great Name...Jesus

Soul Forgiveness

More than any other emotion the unwillingness to forgive imprisions the soul.  Do flames of fire boil within you when you have been mistreated?

Insttead of harboring that resentment, why not free yourself?  Yes, you were mistreated, but why not be the one that says, "they mistreated my Savior, but all he ask was for their forgiveness".

(1Peter 2:20)  "If you suffer for doing good, and you are patient, then God is pleased".

David says in Psalm 123 "I will lift up my eyes to You on the throne.  till He shows us mercy".  King Soloman says his fruit is better than fine gold, walk in the pathes of righteousness, along the paths of justice.  The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.  Hatred stirs up dissection, but love covers all wrongs.

If you harbor anger inside of you, fights and quarrels result.  You want something but you can't get it.  Why not try asking God?  If you ask and you do not recieve it is because you have the wrong motives.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up.

The Body of Christ

How beautiful the body of Christ.  The supreme miracle occurs, the Son of God becomes man.  The word is made flesh.  He that had existed from eternity in the glory of the Father, He was the agent of creation.  In this humanly body he takes all flesh upon himself.  That is why His life, death, and resurrection are events that involve all men.  It is sinful flesh he bears though he is without sin (11Corinthians 5:2, Hebrews 4:15)

The earthly body of Jesus underwent crucifixion and death.  He took on all sinful flesh so that it was  our  infirmities and all our sin that He bears to the cross. We are crucified with Him, only to rise again in a glorious new body.  A body with sinless perfection, O, how wonderful to know I have been made perfect by being washed in His precious blood.  How worthy is the Lamb.
