Lamps with Oil

Sept 1

 

This morning the daily gospel was the parable of the 10 virgins
This is so a parable for our world today. There are so many people who are not wise.
Christ is coming, we have reason to believe not the coming at the end of the world but that Christ is coming in a very special way to His people. And He’s going to be coming soon, and after He comes the door will be shut.
The foolish were late and when they did finally come The Lord didn’t know them.
That is why it is so important to make time to spend w God. Because it is the ones who spend time with Him, now, that He will know, because they took the time to know Him.

The foolish took their lamps as well, they wanted God, but they didn’t have any oil for their lamps because they never put in the time.
And then it was too late. The door was shut.
The wise are those spend time w God
it’s so important to make that time to spend w Him, more important right now than anything else.

I Am in Everything

A conversation with God

Aug 9 2015

 

Heavenly Father, Daddy God, please come and fill me with Your powerful creative love.

I Am in EVERYTHING. Every breeze, every leaf, every weed growing in your front yard. 

Every car too? Well yes, every atom of matter is You! You hold everything together…

I am in every body, every cell, every soul that you meet, great and small, angry or kind. I am in every heart, though not all know it. 

It is love that does all this. My love for My creation, for My children, is higher than the heavens and infinitely more vast than the universe. No instrument of technological achievement could ever probe it’s depths, it is something that can only be felt in the heart. 

Yes Lord, and there are times when that love touches mine and it’s so vast, it’s HEAVY! It’s thick and bursting, my little heart can not possibly hold it, Lord, it seems that here You only give us the tiniest of tastes! 

It’s true, and no man on earth can grasp it either, not even the Saints, though they come much closer than most. 

You are my daughter! I will love you forever, I will like you always, as long as I’m living My child you will be. 

Glory

 This is the true glory of God: a love, that thinks only of the other, and not of itself.

Finding Him

On the days when I am focused on God and seeking Him ( and not consumed by thoughts of some certain outcome) there are days I can draw close and stay close to God, and find His Peace and Presence, and some days when I just can’t,  but on Sunday I finally understood why. 

Like the man who found the treasure in a field, Matthew was not looking, he found Jesus by accident. Other times, people are searching, really searching- like the wisemen, like me.

And to such people, the bible promises us in Jeremiah, ***if you seek Me WITH ALL YOUR HEART, you will find Me. ***

— those times, when I feel lost from the moment, and God… 
It’s not enough to look around me for God, restless, self-conscious and  still half- thinking about other things…( I do get stuck in that!) Yet I think, when God alone is what I am looking for, –  He is easy to find!! 

So the path is, to let go of everything else first, and THEN look for Him, and call to Him!!!

Wrestling

It’s not where are You God, because I know where You are…

Here with me.
But, It’s why is that not enough for me?? 

because when I think about it all, It still feels too much …

Because I forget.. or just can’t find You in it…in the chaos 
— God, whatever happens in my day just help me to find You.

You are all I really want, every minute of the day.

Jesus, I trust in You today and always. Not what I want, what You want, because all I really want is You 

The Storms of Life

Jun 12 In touch daily devotion- in storms!

 

 
Psalm 119:71

Perhaps you’ve seen a TV show in which a distracted person is about to step in front of a moving vehicle. Then suddenly another character races onto the scene, tackling him to prevent a catastrophe. Stunned and indignant, the near-victim fumes and swats at his rescuer—that is, until realizing he has just been saved from a far worse outcome. What at first seemed like a bad thing turns out to be very good.
Storms in our life can at times serve a similar purpose. It’s easy to get so caught up in the daily grind or preoccupied with chasing a goal that we miss the good that the Lord has in mind to give us. When we’re this focused on our own desires, we also become more vulnerable to making choices that don’t align with His Word. (His Will! ) 
But wanting the best for His children, our heavenly Father will go to great lengths to make sure we are positioned for His blessing in our life. That’s when we may suddenly find ourselves in the middle of a storm—where life was once sunny, we are now faced with turmoil or even pain. Disappointment like that can catch us off guard and make us wonder, Why is God letting this happen to me? It just may be that He’s trying to protect us and draw us closer to Him.
Though the Lord sometimes allows storms in the form of problems and hardships, His goal isn’t ever to hurt you. If you’re going through a trial right now, God may be trying to draw your attention back to Him. It’s just possible He’s disrupting your  plans so He can implement His.

 

God’s Way, His Will..

Is the only thing worth doing
Is always the best thing

Is the only thing that works anyway

Is meek and gentle 

Is easy, and light 

And will bring rest to our souls.
