God's love for us through Jesus Christ...

God's love for us through Jesus Christ is an overwhelming display of His amazing grace while standing firmly on His truth.

And we are called to love others in the same way. And we can only do that through the power of the Holy Spirit working in and through us...
Holy Spirit saturate our lives like we are a sponge that we might be emptied out for the blessing of grace and truth upon others and then saturated and emptied again and again and again...

where is the power....

We put so much emphasis on the power of our flesh when in reality the real power comes from the Spirit. 

other's disbelief...

Joshua and Caleb had to endure the cost of eight other's disbelief in God’s word and power. 
Forty years of wandering in the desert. 
Forty years of waiting to enter into the promised land. 
This is a lesson for us today.
Let us not allow those who do not believe in the amazing, awesome power of God and His Word keep us from moving forward in the word and power of our almighty and loving God.

be strong...

With so much going on around us these days - hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, division, strife, enmity...

An admonition for today:
...be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.   

2 Timothy 2:1

lost and wandering...

I wrote this early morning Wednesday August 30^th...

I am lost and wandering
Wasting days as they go by
Not knowing what to do
Another month comes to an end
Struggling with the silence
Lord, I have not heard from You
There has been no revelation of the next step on this path that You have me on
It has been a very long and trying journey...

Then my attention was brought to the following verse -

I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one's lifetime...Ecclesiastes 3:12

I have been really struggling with what I am to be doing these days...and answers to my struggling have been difficult to ascertain….

And as the path (my path) that I have been on has ended, I do not know what comes next...

Yet here I believe is the Lord's answer to me in this time:

Rejoice in the Me and walk in My ways...

Sharing My goodness and loving-kindness for all of your days...

Will it be easy? I am guessing no…but I know and can be sure that the Holy Spirit will lead and empower me if I seek after the fullness of His indwelling within me.
