For Real

I smiled when I read
“He showed me that He saw me as precious–that He is a God who cares about His kids,    :)
including whether or not they have a happy birthday.”
in my Journey Devotional Magazine this morning.

 

He is a God who cares about His kids. I feel loved by Him just reading that. I hope you do too.

We are yet to know the whole, the ALL of His love for us but what we do know already is mighty good – for real it is.  :)

Journey went on to ask me if I expect Him to participate in the everyday desires of my heart?
My answer?
Yes, I do. For real I do.

I hope you do too.

Ephesians 3:
16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
19 and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,
21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Sweet JESUS Blessings upon you today – Go with HIM today, even when those you love most do not.

Fortunate

As I begin to write, I have doubts this writing will make post; unless the Sweet HOLY SPIRIT cleans it up. You see I am way angry tonight and have been almost all day. I’m angry at greed, corruption and the lack of power I FEEL to correct or fight against injustice.

One I am angry that hubby and I had to pay out today for something that I am quite certain when I get one more piece of evidence will show the expenditure was graft.

Two I am angry that banking establishments have set legal albeit unethical procedures in place for the sole purpose of increasing their profits at our expense.

Three I am angry that I personally cannot reason with the powers that be (or their blind followers) who are destroying this Nation. 

Four I am angry that without a turn of events that I cannot fathom, in November I will have no choice but to vote for a candidate that does not deserve my vote.

Five I am angry that here and there and just about everywhere I look, there is willful blindness, greed, idolatry, waste, reprobate living, just out-and-out stupidity.

I’m not the only one who sees it this way.

Romans 1:21-22Amplified Bible (AMP)
21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].

Ephesians 4:17-19 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart,
19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over unto lasciviousness to work all uncleanness with greediness.

2 Peter 3:3 knowing this first: that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
5 For of this they are willfully ignorant: . . .
via 2 Peter 3 KJ21 – This second epistle beloved I now write – Bible Gateway.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing: that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy manner of living and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening unto the coming of the Day of God, wherein the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.
via 2 Peter 3 KJ21 – This second epistle beloved I now write – Bible Gateway.

How fortunate for this Nation that the Author of this Scripture is in deed merciful and long-suffering. How fortunate for me He is in complete control. And somehow before I lay my head on my pillow tonight I will by His grace release this anger to Him, receiving His grace to trust and continue to occupy in this hostile land until He returns.

Your prayers for me to remain faithful in this perverse generation are appreciated.

1 John 1:9 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Just Being Honest

Truth.
I did other stuff yesterday and did not write, so you got no post in your email boxes this morning.
And then last night I was so outdone with a Public Figure and Facebook that I did not write; actually, I am so outdone with our President that I did not even watch his speech.
I suppose you could say since I don’t get to tell him what I think, I don’t want to hear what he has to say.  One-sided conversations are so frustrating!
Have y’all found that to be true too?

Too often I catch myself having an internal conversation with folks who will never hear what I would so like to say. It does me no good or them.
So why do I do it?
Flesh.
That’s the honest truth.
But admitting it to you is helpful and Father GOD and I are working on it.  :) 

Accountability.

Such a good thing!

I’d like to spread that around! Oops.  Not going there. :)  It’s a dead-end road.

Shall I share a Scripture and post this???

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” Philippians 4:8 KJV

That was easy. I opened my online Bible and there it was at my fingertips.
Father GOD is so funny sometimes, so tender and loving even with discipline.
Do y’all find that to be true too?

Thank You, Father.  I love you for loving me. Thank You for each of our Readers too.  Are we doing all that You want us to do as a group?
If we are not, would You lay it on our hearts to do more as a unit?
Would You give us discernment and direction on how we can make You known and alleviate some of this world’s suffering in JESUS’ name?
Thank You, Father.
