Isaiah 40;31

Isaiah 40:31 is the verse of which I wrote this: My husband while in Alaska several yrs ago had watched an Eagle glide with the wind. He then mentioned how the little birds struggled but the Eagle went along with no care in the world... As I was thinking today about some things this brief and yet not very poetic poem came to be.....

If you could for a moment think like an Eagle,
The eagle glides above the winds,
The eagle doesn't fight the wind, he lets it carry him through the storm.

We as the Eagle can through Jesus do the same,
If we depend on Jesus Christ to carry us through the storm,
We have no need to worry or fight the "wind"
We can do ALL things through Christ.

So as we go through this life,
As the Eagle lets the wind carry him along
Let the Lord carry you through the trials of life.

Who's your only hope?

Psalm 68:13, 119:105
I Corinthians 15:54-55
II Corinthians 3:18

These passages go along with this thought:

You are my only hope

for all things that endure:

 

For silver wings that fly me to freedom

For golden light that illumines my path

For eternal life that negates the sting of death

For ongoing change that sows blessings in fertile ground

For perfect love that perfects your image in me

 

You, My Lord, are my Only hope!!

 

 

 

The way things are in this old world, who do we place our hope in? Normally one will recap their year in Dec or maybe in January look back to the yr before. Well, I was asked the other day, how do you keep going after ALL that has happened to your family, your church, an so many other things.

 

I replied, first of all, I have the Lord who saved me and has given me strenght to get through the year. Also he is my hope, my peace, my joy, my strength, my comforter and I could go on.

Secondly I said, I have a husband who loves me and is there for me through the good and the bad.

Thirdly I have my church - Yes my church had some problems but you know what it's not that building - the church is the people.... Our church family has loved each other, cared for each other, encouraged. Yes, changes came but we still love each other!! We are a family!!

 

These are a few things I shared with this person. So it's not just who do you put your hope into, but who do lean on, depend on, look to, go to with all your cares, worries, hurts, blessings... GOD!!!

 

Yea, we had a rough year, no job for over 7 mo, BUT God took care of us!

Yes, we lost our house, BUT God provided another home.

Yes, we found out 9 months later we had to move again, BUT God opened a door that ONLY I believe ONLY he open.

 

Now we are serving in a country church where today, we started the Teen Soul Winning program!! God is Good!!!!!!

 

So don't worry about the bad, look on the Good!!

Heart Secrets

 

In the deepest corners of my heart

Are secrets locked away,

Secrets no one knows but God,

Old tapes that play and play.

 

My soul cries, "God, don't go in there,

It hurts, I cannot last,"

His Spirit answers, "Peace, be still

And do not fear the past."

 

The Healing Surgeon wields His knife,

As he carves before the cure,

My heart, it bleeds slow drops of tears

And with them leaves all fear.

 

"My God, why do you hurt me so

And cause my heart to weep?"

"My precious one, because I'm love,

Choose to live and I'll cut deep.

 

I bore your pain, your tears and fears,

Upon my body sore,

You're free to let all secrets go,

As we unlock your heart's door."

Knowing for sure you're going to Heaven...

Good morning friends,

Our church just finished a GREAT wk of Revival Services. It was neat for me because it's been a long time since I was in a church where it was the "old time revival type mtgs" I remember growing up and attending Revival services that were a wk or more. The services we had in our
church, which is a country church, was GREAT!!

During the wk, we had a dear friend of the family receive Christ as his personal Saviour. This young man back in Aug had a close shave with death after being hit by a car. Archie, on Monday night accepted Christ as Saviour. Then on Wed night our son, Samuel, received the assurance of his salvation!! God is so good!!!

May I ask, Do you know for sure that you are going to heaven? We don't know when the Lord will say, "it's your turn to die".
If you haven't accepted Christ in Christ into your heart here's what you do:
1. Realize that you are sinner: Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and come short of he glory of God."
2. Realize the payment for your sin: Romans 6:23 - "For the wages of sin is death...." the death here is talking of eternal separation from God.
3. Believe that Jesus died on the Cross and rose again. Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth his love toward us in that, while we yet sinners Christ died for us."
4. Trust in Christ and Him alone. Romans 6:23 - "...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'
Romans10:13 - "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
The gift is free you don't have to work for it! Salvation is FREE all you need is the faith to believe that God Himself, Loved you enough to Die for YOU so that YOU would not have to suffer in Hell for your own sins!!!!

If you, friend, have read this and believe that Jesus saves, please contact me and let me know of your decision so I can rejoice with you.
