Good morning

I really have never taken the time to realize why we should always say good morning.  I take that for granted probably like I take a lot of areas of my life.  We fall asleep and are not aware of anything going on around us, yet we breath and our body functions to keep us alive. More importantly we wake up and take that first breath, realizing we are awake and alive.  I know there are days when we just don’t want to get up or we feel sick or just like there is no point.  However, even in those situation we need to realize that every morning is a good one.  Especially, when we have the opportunity to see what God has in store for us on that day.  Our lives may be filled with trials or even consequences from our past sin, but we still need to stay obedient and trust in Christ that he will make the day glorified for him.  When you think about it, the morning time is the best time for your body to perform.  People lose weight faster in the morning, they read better in the morning, pretty much every one’s body can perform better in the morning.  I think God’s point for me in writing this is do not take for granted our every breath, do not be afraid to take chances, because you never know when it will be your last.  So whether, your morning is in the morning or in the evening because you work at  night, take it all in everyday and allow God to be the anchor that keeps your hopes, dreams, and life where he wants it to be instead of letting life bash around with it’s uncontrolled and vicious current.  Praise be to Jesus for giving us the chance to wake fresh everyday with the ability to thank him and glorify moment by moment… Amen!

His Wounds!

His wounds, caused by me
His wounds, were his choice to be taken
His wounds, visible for all to see
His wounds, made him feel forsaken

His wounds, were part of the sacrifice
His wounds, allow me to be free
His wounds, is how, for me, he paid the price
His wounds, why from sin I will always flee

His wounds, bled till his body was empty
His wounds, were necessary to save us all
His wounds, will bring the world to bended knee
His wounds, the reason for Satan’s downfall

His wounds, a sign that I win
His wounds, gave me the ultimate choice
His wounds, illustrated how Jesus defeated sin
His wounds, now give me reasons to rejoice

The New year

One of the best things about a New Year is that it means we are one step closer to His return.  This year has so many people freaking out already, trying to figure out if this is it.  People are looking at a Calendar made by an ancient civilization and screaming and yelling that this is the end.  God makes it perfectly clear in the Bible, regardless of the hour and day that His return comes we need to live our life for him.  If we focus more on living for him and helping and loving others, the time and day of His return is a joyous thing.  I see all these shows on TV saying this and that, but none letting us know that we need to take care of our fellow man.  Take this new year to mean something different for you, don’t make resolutions make statements of faith and ask those dearest to your heart to hold you accountable.  Do not just make this a year to lose weight or stop smoking, make this a year to stand rooted in Christ.  If you do not know Jesus, take this opportunity to give him a chance.  I mean in all honesty what do you have to lose by just giving Jesus a chance.  Take in that he sacrificed his life so that you would not have to carry the burden of your own cross.  My new year Statement of Faith is to remember moment by moment that Jesus Christ is real and not just some God we hope to be there and pray too.  I want my life and my choices to curve to his influence and I want to hear clearly that sweet still and quiet voice as Jesus counsels me through life to help people mend their hearts and brokenness back to health.  May your New Year bring healing and joy into your life… AMEN…
