A way to think about life….

Something to think about. My Pastor the other day was talking about life and how we only see one thing at a time, but God can see all of it from start to end. He gave a great way to look at it. He said that it is kind of like a parade…….When you go to a parade you want to be right up in the front so you can see all that is going on. The only thing is that you can only see what is going on right then and there. In the end it would be much better to be up higher so you would be able to see all that is going on at the same time. This is kind of like us and God. We are going through life and we only see one thing at a time and start to worry or ask what is going to happen. God on the other hand is watching from up top and he has it all in his hands. He can see where it started, to where we are right now. But the best part is that he can see what is coming next and the end. I just thought this was a pretty cool way to look at it life.

“True Love”

So, I was thinking the other day about the Love that Christ has for us. A love that will never leave us, and is always there for us. What a loving and faithful God we have. I wanted to post the words to this song ” O Love that wilt not let me go”….I love this song. I hope this brings a smile to you hart like it did mine today. God Bless!

O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

A thought for today.

Today, I was thinking about God’s grace and what he has already given us in him. I could not help but think of the verse in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

I know this is something we all know, but just wanted to post it. It was just a good reminder to me that God’s grace is sufficient in all times in our lives. No matter what we may be going through or feeling God is always right there to take us through. Also, its when we are at our end and have nothing more to give that Christ comes throught and shows his power. For when we are weak, then he is strong. Hope this is an encouragement to you. May we all look to God’s grace that is all and the only thing that will get us through.

Faith…..

God is shaking things so you might learn to live by faith and not by sight. He wants to build your life on the permanence of the eternal, not the instability of the temporal.
