Unconditional Love

Psalms 59:17 – “I will sing praises to you, my strength, because God is my stronghold, my loving God

King David, whom God referred to as a man after God's own heart, trusted God’s love. Despite his failures, he knows God loves him. King David's life was a roller coaster of emotional highs and lows. He left us an example of passionate love of God and dozens of Psalms, some of the most touching, beautiful poetry ever written.

A relationship with God is like no other relationship you may have experienced. God has a unique kind of love for you. It is unconditional that is not based upon meeting certain conditions. God loves you because He loves you.

He does not love you based upon your performance. There is nothing you can do to cause God to love you any more than He already does—and there is nothing that will cause God to love you any less. He loves you, even more than you love yourself.

He is indeed your true Valentine, the Lover of your soul.

Be Blessed.

Eternity Focis Living: Lesson #2

Life consists of seasons. We don’t always live the same way. We don’t always do the same things. Instead, there are seasons in our lives. Our ability to make the most of these seasons that God has given us is essential to living your life to the fullest.

We must understand the seasons. If we do not understand that there are seasons in life, we may draw the wrong conclusions about what is happening in our lives, or the reasons for it. God has a plan and a purpose to make our life beautiful. Every season has lessons of life for us. In Joseph's life, the plan of God was for him to rule, but before he ruled he was ruled over

Transiting from one to another requires us to hear God's will and purpose in our lives and be obedient to it. There’s a fine line between pursuing what God has next in the season of life and running from the responsibility of stewarding a season well. The new season is always impacted by how we left the last season.

Let's be faithful in every season that God leads us in and out.

A Childlike Faith

Luke 18:17 “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it”

Few days ago, my friend shared a photo of her daughter in her own accord opening up the bible, praying and worshiping God. It is amazing to see young ones approach the throne of God with simple faith.

A childlike faith is vital for living in the kingdom of God. The religious Pharisees had complicated their faith with elaborate answers to simple questions. In this world of scheming and rationalizing, children approached Jesus with simple faith. The kingdom of God centers on a relationship between us and our Abba Father.

Faith is not primarily intellectual. It is a childlike act of trusting in Jesus. The Christian faith is not contained in theological manuscripts or complicated religious rules. It is just the simple reality that “Jesus loves me; this I know, for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong; they are weak but he is strong.”

Have a great week ahead. God Bless You.

In Rememberance

Setting the course for 2016

Hebrews 12:2 - "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

In the race of faith we must keep constantly our eyes on Christ who is the author and perfecter of faith. The gaze of faith is focused on Jesus who has fulfilled all of the promises of God.

Eternity Focus Living #1

One of the mark of eternity focus living is the heart of generosity.

1 Timothy 6:18-19 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

I decided : - Walking with God in Broken Places.

I decided:
The race is not endless.
The time to run is not without limits.
A finish line has been drawn in my life.

No time left:
To waste
To change lanes
To run sideways or backward
To run slowly and wave at the crowd
To run circles around the slower ones,
Or,
To run in the crowd of the mediocre.

The part of the race behind me cannot be re-run.
I can only run what is left of the race which is before me.
So,
It is time to run like Hell is hot on my heels
And Heaven’s open door is before me.
To run with purpose and power.

To run in a way that uses my gifts from God,
My resources,
My experience,
And
My skills to the maximum!

To run without yielding to distractions.
To run and not be deterred by any relationship,
But, to be spurred on by my relationship with Jesus.

To run so that when the race is over,
My past will benefit the future of others.
To run in such a way the spectators will not say,
“What a runner!”
But, they will say,
“What a Race!”
