Loved, Accepted, Wanted

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. 4 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. 6 So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.[b] 7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. 8 He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. 9 God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. 10 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. 11 Furthermore,...

Love Anyway

"This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers." -1 John 3:16 When I was 19 years old I asked God to fill me with His love so I could love like He did. It soon became a song and in the lyric that left my heart I went on to ask Him for His grace too so I could love like Him more. I didn't know the cost... Love isn't a warm fuzzy feeling I've come to learn. It's not wrapped in sheets. It's not wrapped in arms, though it is an expression. I've found that love is uncomfortable. You're exposed; your guard is down. You risk everything, even your life. There is a certain pain when people don't love you back the way you love them. Some people interpret love differently, some feel it certain ways. In my case I feel loved when people spend time with me, and in touch. Others feel loved through words, or through gifts. Whatever the avenue there is a cost to loving pe...

In the Right Spot

Recently, Samaritans Purse wanted to hire me for the season in getting Christmas boxes sorted through and ready to ship all around the world. When I interviewed initially, on the phone...I may or may not have had pants on...I was overwhelmed that God would give me the opportunity to work for such an influential and world changing organization. I had applied there for several jobs over the summer, and even drove up to Boone to tour the headquarters. I prayed and prayed God would give it to me!! Since this summer, God has done an incredible work in my life, things I never saw coming for my life. In fact checking Facebook today, this was my status today a year ago: I've been in a funky place for a while in life. Sometimes it shows through and I get it out through nervous energy, or through infatuation with death, and wishing God would please just take me. I thought for a while it was just lack of sunshine, but I found myself tonight still just not feeling life. As I drove home I ...

Do We Really Believe?

"And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil." -1 Peter 3:13-17 There's a lot that we fight for as Christians. In that fight we get heated when people don't agree or adhere to what we are saying is truth. What has rudely shaken lately is the question of life. Why do I believe in life? I was asked in an interview recently with a Samaritans Purse recruiter, "What is your stance on the sanctity of life?" I've encounte...

The Feast of Trumpets

Image
"Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, For it is at hand... The great day of the Lord is near; It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out. 15 That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, 16 A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers." Today at sundown the Feast of Trumpets commenced, and what a beautiful day for this to have happened on The Lords Day! Though this is a Jewish Holiday and their Sabbath is on Saturday, the idea of this Feast to be on the Lords day for those of us who are Born Again Believers, it is special. More so today in my church we observed the Lord's Supper, a remembrance of His covenant with His B...
