Life of Surrenderence

The Bigger Picture

"Aaaaaaah", This is how I feel right about now. Its so important not to look at our current situation through carnal feelings, thoughts, or lens. We need to look at our situation through the lens of Jesus Christ. Looking at the bigger picture of what God is working out in our lives. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9. If we could just have the mind of Christ. If I could just have the mind of Christ and keep my mind on him, I would be in perfect peace. And I wouldn't feel like screaming! :) God renew my mind, renew the Church's mind. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ..Prove? How do you prove the will of God. You can only do this if our mind are renewed in Jesus Chirst; so if our minds are renewed than we will be walking in the Perfect will of God!!. God renew my mind. Renew the Saints mind, don't let us stray from your word. Don't let us be conformed to this world...for it isn't our home. We are just pilgrims passing through. Amen.

Anything to Hard for God?

Genesis 18:14, Is any thing to hard for the lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a Son. Nothing is to hard for God...just waiting for that appointed time.

God's Love

God's love is perfect and simple. Because of the fall of man, its humans that makes love hurt and complicated. Why? Afraid of rejection or looking vulnerable or weak. Nobody wants to be the "ONE" in the relationship to be weak, open and bare. Because that is what we are....Without God. We are weak, fragile human beings. We tried so hard to look and be strong, but we don't understand that in our weakness we are actually strong. ( I know kind of confusing). II Corinthians 12:9, " My grace is suffiecent for thee: for my strenghth is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirminities that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Sometimes we cringe at our weakness and the thorns that God won't remove in our side. But God grace is resting upon us and making us strong each and everyday.

The Valley

The height of the mountain top is measured by the drab drudgery of the valley; but it is in the valley that we have to live for the glory of God. We see His glory on the mount, but we never live for His glory there.- Oswald Chambers

Truth in the inward parts

Its September, College is fully in session. I haven't written in my blog, in a while, between my busy summer and school, I didn't take the time out to write. I have a few things on my heart. Something that the Lord's been dealing with me about. Or maybe its something I'm desiring for God to do in me. In Psalms 51, Its says that God desires truth in the inwards parts. The bible says, that Jesus is the way, the truth and the light. This isn't some amazing revelation, so my desires lately is been to have Jesus in my heart. Sometimes, we think if we just ask God to come into our hearts, he will. Maybe this was the case, when we first God saved, but as we get older its gonna taking more than just asking. Were going to have to seek him with everything we have. Asking Jesus to come and fill our hearts with is love and his characteristics. The songs writer says, I rather have Jesus, than silver and God. But this has to reality to us. Just as real as school, church, hobbies, or anything else we do. As Christians do were desire truth in the inward parts? Do we want Jesus in our hearts? Do we understand all that means? Jesus Christ, the lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world, Jesus Christ our redeemer, Jesus Christ our Savior, our deliver, Jesus Christ our friend. Do we desire him in our hearts?

The road taken

I haven't written for a while. As usual a lot has been going on, but I give God the glory anyway. It kinda of late and I"m extremely tired, but I just feel the need to express my heart through writing tonight. I um just been thinking about decisions and paths I've come across in my 20 years of experiencing life. Since a young child, I was raised in the church, but I got to know Jesus Christ at about 11 years old. I knew about him all my life, but I never experience him before. From then on, I had this theory that if I served God for the rest of my life good things would happen to me ALL the time. I came to learn that God is not a vending machine. You know when you put 25 cents in the machine? You expect to get something that is worth 25 cents out. Well God doesn't work that way. God doesn't want you to serve him because you want good things to happen to you, but you should serve him because he alone is worthy. The road taken is the road for Christ. Its a narrow road, self has to die, so Christ can truly live through us. A couple years of ago when I was about 18, I experience my rude awakening and it just hit me, "God is not a vending machine". Even though its a simple analogy or revelation, its truth Amen
