Into His arms

I have always imagined what it would be like to run into Jesus’ arms.  I mean I think I know how much He loves us and just the image of a Mighty King humbling Himself to embrace us so tightly is awesome.  The warmth and love that occurs in that moment needs alien words to describe the intimacy (i do not believe in aliens, just sayin).  To know the comfort that we will experience softens my heart and allows me to look at this world and be happy this is not the end.  Into Jesus’ arms is where I want and need to be.  Until that day I will allow the Holy Spirit to embrace me in my times of need.  Knowing He is waiting for me with His arms wide open, reminds me to be bold like a lion and chase after the hearts of those He places in my life.  Selah!

God’s Call

How awesome is it that we have a God that calls on us.  He is almighty and all knowing and yet He takes the time to make us a part of His work.  He allows us to love on those who are broken and feel like there is no tomorrow.  He places opportunties in our lives to draw closer to Him.  That no matter how dark or how twisted a place we can be in, the light of Christ trumps it all.  This world is filled with unfair realities and social injustices.  It is filled with evil and good, a place that seems to have no mercy.  Then in an instant, from God’s call on your life, you realize its not about taking on the whole world, instead it is about being willing to carry the burdens for the people He places in your path.  We have a BIG God and He knows it breaks our heart to see those who are abused by this world and by Satan.  He says to us, do you not realize I am a Big God, and for all of the hearts I place in your path there are others, like you, who listen to my call.  This world is tough and unfair, but we need to realize as His Beloved, that we do not finish here.  Christ will help us to endure all this life throws at us, and in return He simply asks for us to LISTEN for God’s call… What does He want you to do? Selah!!!

Why do we suffer?

This is something that is of the world.  Now, I know that many people will say if your God is so good how could he let babies die and let people go to war, and so on and on.  The answer is our God is not just a God who sits by and idly watches us go through life.  Our God is a God who gave up His deity to become one of us.  In Hebrews chapter 4: 15 it says ” For we do not have a high priest (Jesus) who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet without sin.”  The fact is Jesus asked his Father to take the cup, because the burden he was about to endure seemed to much.  He understood he would have to do it, but still he struggled with that.  Our God knows first hand what all of our sufferings feel like.  He experienced it all and the most devastating of all suffering was when Jesus’ Father had to turn His back on His son.  He had to give Jesus over to all of our sin and in those moments He was separated from God, which is something we will never experience as His adopted Beloved.  It is rough to see people go through hard times, but in the end, if they know Jesus when their eyes close here on Earth they will open widely into the arms of Jesus.  We will be here to grieve our loss and what they went through, but they will be in Heaven and celebrating a beautiful eternal life with no memory of any pain or suffering.  When it says our life is like a vapor we must take a hold of that and live every moment with our eyes fixed on Christ and our will submitted to the Holy Spirit’s call.  Selah!
