Latest Word from Melinda — Hope many of you will receive and pray — soon.   Kathie

Dear Frister, Doctor is putting Misty in the hospital as I type this.  All her function tests except one are in and they are all borderline or bad..liver function especially.  She will not go home without delivery this time, he told her…Sooo, probably tonight or tomorrow before five.  He’s leaving for a weekend in Memphis @ five o’clock tomorrow so it will be between now and then.  Pray hard for their health and safety.   Willow Grace, in all her 4 lb. 2 oz. glory will be here soon.

I go to pulmonary doctor tomorrow and if he allows me, I get to see my sister.  Betty is improving.  Thank you sweet LORD for Your handiwork!
Thanks for all your support and prayers.
Love ya!
Melinda

Who doesn’t want rest for their soul?

Really?

Who doesn’t want to be at peace within their own gray matter? Within their own nervous system? Who wants to live with their insides torn up all the time? Not able to eat, not able to sleep, not able to have a thought that is not assaulted by ‘what ifs’ and ‘whys’ and ‘how could he’, ‘how could she’?  Well? Anybody out there who wants to live that way? I didn’t think so.

Reading my BlogLand Friend, Elaine Olsen’s, book, Peace for the Journey, led me to:

Jeremiah 6: New International Version (NIV) 16 This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ via Jer 6:16 – Passage Lookup – New International Version – BibleGateway.com.

Coupled with what Elaine wrote and this verse of Scripture I asked myself:
“Can I stand at a distance from JESUS and expect to see clearly the path He wants me to take?”

I know the answer.  It’s a HUGE, Clearly understood – NO!

So what would it look like for me to NOT stand at a distance from JESUS?

The thought that came was keep myself unspotted by the world so I did a Biblegateway search and found James 1:27 and settled on the NASB version.

James 1: New American Standard Bible (NASB)

27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

via James 1:27 – Passage Lookup – New American Standard Bible – BibleGateway.com.

How unstained am I?

I think I have to find out.

I covet your prayers that I may know and that such knowledge be not long in coming and that every change that needs to be made will be made without delay.

I welcome you to join me in this as it is surely the will of God for all of us to discern just how stained by the world we are.

Oh Blessed Truth

Oh blessed truth!

John 6: New American Standard Bible (NASB)

37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out. via John 6:37 – Passage Lookup – New American Standard Bible – BibleGateway.com.

And the one who comes to Me I will CERTAINLY not cast out.

For sure, for sure in the King James vernacular, EVERY soul who comes to JESUS in confession and repentance WILL BE received!!

NO ONE excluded!

Is there any better news than that?!!

John 6:40 For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”  via John 6 – Passage Lookup – New American Standard Bible – BibleGateway.com.

Oh, ABBA, bless Your Holy Name for this truth, for this reality in each of us who have believed. HOLY SPIRIT, bring others to this Truth in JESUS Name.

And we come remembering Ann and her Dad and all the family this week as they adjust to this separation from Martha. It was her testimony of her love and faith in You that brings comfort and we thank You for the faith she received from You.  And others, Melinda, Betty, Misty, Willow Grace, LaJuanna, and well You know, LORD, the others listed there; those specific unspoken, that list of yet unbelieving souls, this Nation and Your beloved Israel, our IDOK Troops; all these we present now to You for help, for healing, for provisions, for gifts of faith, for every possible need they have; we are dependent upon You and You alone to help them.  Thank You for this confidence found in CHRIST JESUS alone. Amen and amen.

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
