Treat Every Day as a New Day

We wake up every morning and God tells us His mercies are new everyday, yet many of us wake up with the same burdens we went to sleep with. When you wake up we should realize that within that new day, even though we may deal with a situation from the day before, God’s mercies are renewed that day and will guide us through. A lot of times we allow the weight of the burden to press us into the movements “we” feel will solve the issue. However, this always ends up breaking us or putting us in a position where the lies overwhelm us.

Now, if we could wake up each day and accept that God’s mercies on us are renewed we could approach life with a much more positive outlook. I think we need to understand that being positive doesn’t keep bad stuff from happening, but it does help you to see the bigger picture of how God might be moving. When we have God we have to remember this is not the end for us, we have ETERNAL LIFE and because of this we should be thankful that Jesus did what He did on the cross for all of us.

Personally, I have noticed when I treat each day as the new day a lot of the crap I was dealing with the day before falls off. Now the problem or situation we are dealing with is still there but all the build up that was on it or around it is gone and you are able to see it more clearly. You get a chance to see God work and show you how much He loves you and will protect you. Every moment of every day is known by our God. He knows your thoughts to your last breath. He is the reason and when you look around there is no doubt creation is of Divine influence.

This is also directly at me for this month of May because this is when I lost my mom 15 years ago. I want to live each day not holding onto the heaviness of her loss but I want to hold onto what she looks like and what she is doing in Heaven. My faith will not waiver and though questions will come in my head in the end I know Jesus is real and Heaven is too! I know that one day I will reunite with her and many of my friends, but until then I want to live my life the way Jesus commands us and that is to the FULL! Enjoy your families and friends, take trips and take risks, be free to know that when you pray, God will guide you and when you mess up He will discipline with His love.

One Love, One King, All Christ!

Running To!!!

I believe many of us in this life spend most of our time running away from The Lord. I know that He pursues each and everyone of us because we are created in His image. You see to God, you are the man or woman he created, He loves you even in your sin, He knows that He died for all of those and just desires to have a relationship with us. Now, don’t get it twisted it doesn’t mean that its ok to sin or to marginalize it and say well this amount of sin is ok. What it means is that sin is not an issue for Christ. He desires to be one with your soul and He wants you to experience all the promises that come with Him as our Lord and Savior.

I have run from God more than I have run to Him in all of my years of knowing He is real. Mostly, I would say I run because I want my sin and know it well. It is something I am comfortable with but on the spiritual side that means that I am comfortable with death. This is not ok because I am not and mourn my loved ones who have gone to be with Jesus. I want this death shroud with be removed from me and I want the Holy Spirit to reign supreme! How do we go about it and what are the steps.

Well, the very first step is to change our direction, no matter how uncomfortable it may feel. That means we start running to Christ in everything we do. I know that I feel good and believe I am healthy but every time I get blood work done, I get anxious and turn to and RUN TO God. Why is it I do not seek him for everything, like I would a best friend. He is our ultimate best friend as well as our King and our Savior. He is the complete package, yet most of the time we separate Him into sections that we try and figure out with our human mind and thoughts. This has been my downfall for most of my Christian walk and I want to be able to just be with HIM. I want Jesus to continue to work on my heart and soul so that I can share these words He places through my hands. I feel when the Holy Spirit is upon me and I know that if even one person is influenced by these words that is more than enough.

When we run to God it is usually in a time of fear or anxiety or loss. However, every time we run to Him in those moments, Jesus reminds us that He is there for everything. We have the Holy Spirit with us for every moment, so my friends, I am tired of allowing the Holy Spirit to be dormant in my life. I wamt Him to be burning so brightly that people will feel the warmth of God’s love when I walk past them. RUN TO HIM, FLEE FROM THE WORLD AND SIN, AND RUN TO HIM…. He is waiting with arms WIDE OPEN to accept you and love on you and repent with you, just as you are!!!

One Love One King, All Christ

I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT! PRAISE BE!!

When we step into the world as adults many of us have experienced many types of darkness in our lives. We are not unscathed or unburdened. This world is run by an entity that has no morals, dignity or care in the world for any living thing, especially the Beloved of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. In Malachi 3 verse 6, God say… I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT! As a believer, this is a beautiful statement, because it means every promise that is made by God to us will come to pass.

Our Lord says He loves us and adores us and will walk with us through every event on our life. Every moment we have from conception to walking with Him Heaven. He is with us!! The bible says we are created in Christ’s image and we have the Holy Spirit within us to guide us and mold us into the men and women of God we were born to be. When I read that the Lord does not change that reminds me of the attitude that Jesus took to the cross. He had opportunity to change his mind and I believe His Father in heaven would have understood, but Jesus chose not to change what was to be done. He chose not to change because of YOU and ME!!! He loves us and when we see it from the outside we want it, but when we experience from within our first reaction to to run from it.

Many of us grow up struggling with believing we deserve to be loved and cared for. So, when this amazing love comes upon us our brokenness screams for us to run, too flee. Our soul knows what it desires and when we feed it what God gives us, there is a light that shines and that light forces darkness to flee and allows our souls to feel the embrace of the Holy Spirit. All the while, we are caring, praying and being there for one another.

In a time of loss it has been awesome to see the love and support my friend and her children are getting with the tragic loss of her husband and their father. When we see the family of Christians come together for another brother or sister in Christ shows us what God means when He says “I change Not!” I would give praises to my Lord and Savior Jesus for His constant pursuit of us, I will praise the Holy Spirit for embracing us and taking our tears and I will praise God the Father for making us, and for the lives of others he has divinely intertwined into ours by His love. Remember my friends, Jesus Loves you so much and with that love he has for you, you just have to come as you are and He will take you in!!!

Selah!!

One Love, One King, All Christ
