We are all Talented

We have many talents in our life. Some of us can sing, some of us can draw, some of us can dance, and these talents are all God given.  There is one talent that we all possess and that is the ability to speak of God’s love and Jesus’ sacrifice.  There is nothing is this World including all religions, that can describe what it means to be embraced by Christ.  It is a feeling of peace and love that is so overwhelming, much like the birth of your children or the feeling of being cured of a deadly disease.  That freedom and release that comes is truly unexplainable.  God calls us to be like him and to stand up for what we believe, even if it means going against the flow.  Worldly Love is not more than enough, it is never satisfied.  Don’t just live your life and try to be a “Good” person.  Live your life in a way where those who see from the outside say, I want that.  I want that peace! SELAH!

Open the Eyes of your Heart

+++++We get so use to walking with our burdens that before long we don’t even realize they are there. Know that Paul’s charge in Romans is to believers about being slaves to sin. Open your eyes and realize you have hidden your pains and you should let Jesus in. This is not about going to church, this is about an intimacy with Christ who can pull you from the roots of your bondage. He can fill any loss you encounter with His loving Mercy and Grace. Selah

Family Ties

+++++My sister and her family left today to go back to Trinidad. I have such a great time with my nephews and just seeing my sister makes me so happy. I am so thankful that God provided her with a good husband who takes care of her and his kids. There is always a longing that comes when my sister leaves me. Its really a weird feeling and I know we all experience it. Its that feeling of like please don’t go. This is even knowing you will see them again relatively soon. However, that feeling sinks into your chest and just sits there. It will not be the same without my nephews here and they only spent a few days with me. I bring this up because we are connected to Christ in the same way. The difference is that he has that longing for us. He is constantly telling us he loves us and that he won’t leave us. He sits and longs for us to draw near to him. Jesus is always pleading with us to please don’t go. I pray that I can long after him in the same way. I want to feel like I am going to miss him so badly it hurts. This is something that you are use to when someone you love leaves, you hurt, whether its simply a trip back home or as devastating as a trip home to be with Jesus. We are allowed to grieve and when those we love leave it is supposed to hurt. It is in that pain where Christ comes and finds us and embraces us. His love endures forever and we must confide in that truth. So yes I will miss my sister, my nephews, and my brother-in-law, but through Christ Jesus he will meet me where I hurt. Thank you for being my Papa and for adopting me into your Holy Mighty Family! Selah
