Precious Moments

As I sat in the celebration of life service, God began to speak to me more and more loudly.  I watched and listened as many people who I have know since I was a little kid profess their faith in Jesus Christ.  It comes at a sad time of loss but within the tragedy, Christ has found good.  I witnessed powerful and unbelievable strength by the family to share the love of the one they lost.  Their passion and strength you know came only from Jesus.  This was confirmed by the many I continually heard saying, I could never do that, how can they be so strong, etc.  I watched the pain and grief on the family, but then when it would be time for them to speak, their strength was divine.  God spoke to all of us, as a reminder, to cherish every moment, do not take for granted the time you have with your loved ones, because it can be taken in an instant.  These precious moments are in front of us daily and we must rely on God to soften our hearts and not let the daily routines take away from our joys in life, which are our families and friends.  I watched a sister sit in front of a crowd of 1000 and sing, magnificently, even though only 4 days ago she lost her baby sister.  That strength does not come from us, the only possible answer is God.  My heart goes out to the family, but what I heard from each and everyone of them tonight, from God I believe, was to Cherish each Precious Moment we have and that is every moment.  We end up in Jesus’ embrace when our eyes close for the final time here on Earth, but as the scripture says ” To live is Christ, to die is Gain!”  Living for Christ is sharing a love and excitement in everything we do and asking God to break our heart for what breaks his.  As we keep our eyes focused on Jesus, he focuses our hearts on those he places in our path.  Thank You, PAPA that Heaven is for REAL!!!  Enjoy every Precious Moment!!

Our losses

I have had some heaviness on my heart.  This past Friday a cousin of my brother-in-law was in a horrible accident with his 2 daughters.  He lost his youngest.  The scene on the news was unbearable, but my tears began to flow as a father held his daughter asking her to stay with him.  He lost her and now she is with Jesus.  Life can be so unfair and throw so many things at us that sometimes we are ready to break.  I pray for him and his family because I cannot imagine what it must feel like to lose a child, but I do know what it is like to lose someone who you are deeply in love with.  As we gaze at our losses, we come to realize they never truly leave and they linger as long as we are going to be here on this Earth, but within that pain, Christ says he is there.  It is through this Faith that I know he is telling the truth.  Even in the loss of a beautiful daughter Christ can bring the good out of the bad the World sets before us.  Jesus knows the brokenness of losing someone he endured our pains and burdens and sins.  My heart longs to know that the little girl believed in Jesus as her Lord and Savior and that her father as he grieves will allow the Holy Spirit to break through the walls we put up when we lose someone.  The guilt that comes with an accident is so heavy because you have so many doubts that run through your mind, if i would have done this or that, but ultimately you didn’t and it is not your fault.  Our losses carry with them a power that can take a hold of our lives and change them forever.  We can either choose to let Christ come along side of us, now understand he is OK with you being mad at him, but nonetheless he wants to be next to you.  He wants you to know that though this World may be hard and Merciless, His heart and love for you is eternal. I watch as a young man I know has been falsely accused of a crime he did not commit and I see him stuck in a system that says he is guilty.  I see the losses he has endured and know his spirit is being crushed, it is only Jesus that can bring us through that pain.  Whether it is the loss of a loved one, before their time, in our eyes, or the loss of living life because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We must trust that Christ will bring us through it.  My heart aches so badly for those who are in pain and I wish I could stand in the gap for them and help them carry their burdens of guilt and grief, but they must experience life and see how God can take something so horrible and turn it into beauty.  For every loss in our eyes and hearts, can be a soul gained and anew in Heaven! Share Christ with those around you! Amen!!

Lesson Taught, Wisdom Gained

Betrayal with a kiss is what Jesus endured, for me its learning that through our Disappointments if we replace the “D” with an “H” What do you get? Exactly! tough lesson to learn yet humbled to know that even through poor choices or painful wounds He will provide a way to heal us, teach us, use us and Ultimately rescue us! Amen!
