WALKING WITH GOD

I heard a quote a while back and thought it to be profound. He said, “He must be everything to you or He is nothing to you." I got to thinking about my own life. I love God with all my heart and I know He loves me with all of His. I have always wanted to do something for God to further His kingdom. Therefore, when He gave me a writing mandate, I was elated. I wanted to do the best I could for Him and so I dove into that job with everything I had, but the… Continue

The Heart Cry

"Is it true the heart doth cry".
"I hope it is" said dry eye.

"I often hear it's desperate plea",
was the response from bended knee.

Again. the mind surprised by this,
"what cause has brought such amiss".

And then the lips said "hold on there,

A Mystery

What Christ has done in me is a mystery
He is done yet I’ve only began to see

I found a peace I thought did not exist
A constant companion within my midst

A love within not of my own
A connection now unto the throne

Joy in measure beyond compare
A comfort now that’… Continue

Finding a Mate

"God's Plan For Your Life" Everyone longs to give himself completely to someone…to have a deep soul relationship with another…to be loved thoroughly and completely. But God to a Christian say, "No not until you are satisfied, fulfilled, and content with being loved by Me alone - with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me: to having and intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone; discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found -will you be capable of the perfe… Continue

Open Heart Surgery

THE OPEN HEART SURGERY Series is a group of stories about people who have fallen through the crack, some would say. People, who, for one reason or another, have dropped out of society, hidden away. Some have gotten to that point on their own, while others have been pushed there by the circumstances of an evil world. But I believe The Lord wants us to look at them, listen to them, find them, and re… Continue

Loves Hopes Are Fadeless

Loves' hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Hopeth all things, is the KJV of 1 Cor 13:7 for the study we will look at today. This word Hopeth, all by itself, was "elPIS" in the original text and simply meant to desire of some good with the expectation of obtaining it. Generally. Spoken especially of those who experience the hope of salvation through Christ, eternal life, and blessedness. Of a hope in or on someone, i.e., trust, confidence.… Continue

Love Believes The Best In Everyone

Love believes the best of everyone. Love is ever ready to believe the best of every person. Too often we (I'm still just talking about those whom are in Christ) are drawn to hear the worst about someone. In this area of our study, I think we should consider how often we find ourselves focused, or concerned, or even amused by negative things we here about those we are suppose to love, and how wrong it is. Remember, God looks at the heart of man. and so, we can't hide anything from Him. (R… Continue

Love and Science

Love And Science The Lord will not let me move on from this study of Love. By now you can see, it really turns out to be a picture of God, Himself. When I teach about Love sometimes and say that, "God 'Is' love", I believe most people think of a spiritual power out there that thinks a whole lot about us and wants us to return the favor to Him and to each other. Well, He is like that, but when the bible says that God "Is" Love, that is what He actually Is. I believe that 'one' reason He has s… Continue

Cell Block 316

Its not those bars that hold her prisoner, Its something stronger deep within her. Something that was always there, confusion was what she'd declare. But now with so much looking back, confusion couldn't be the tack. Though justified, she was always mean, still something she just couldn't wean. Used and abused all her life, leaving her with so much strife. She thought being bad was all she had, but even then she was always sad. Surrounded now by concrete walls, her attention to it calls.… Continue

Considering Love

FOCUS When I focus on the love you send, a peace fills me up from deep within. When I focus on your love, I am lifted high above. I know now, when I turn to see, all I have done which grievith thee. I loose sight, the strength and energy, needed to live more righteously. And to look for any good I might have done, apart from you, I've not done one. And so I focus on your love, together Lord like hand in glove. By: Preston Pittman CONSIDER THIS: John 4, 23. A time will come, however, inde… Continue

Love

What if God loved and then took it back. Is that the way we'd expect love to act. What if in one more day someone would turn to Him. only to find that their struggle rest solely on whim. The patience of Gods' love must be greater you see. More patient with Himself than we think it should be. To say it was love and then take it back... What kind of love would you call that. Adding conditions that if just one could not achieve, Can that be the love which our God could perceive. The kindness o… Continue

SEEKING GOD pt1

PART 1 of 8 SEEKING GOD: Calling out to God The footsteps behind him were unrelenting and he was running as fast as he could. His lungs felt like they would explode at any moment, yet the swish of footsteps in the grass that followed him, didn’t lose a beat. In fact, they seemed to be closing the gap. Mere exhaustion would soon force him to stop and face his stalker no matter what the outcome. His heart raced and thre… Continue

Love Bears Up Under Anything

Love bears up under anything and everything that comes. Bears up in spite of all things evil, and is not overcome. This is the idea of "beareth." Love bears up against the tide of evil, as the rock against the waves. When a man and woman marry, they vow to love each other "in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse." This type of love is characteristic of the love described in I Corinthians 13. This kind of love, we have learned in our other studies is Agape love whe… Continue

Softer Than Air

Softer Than Air Eight hours now without a break, don't they know that her feet ache. Running late to pick up the kids, their Dads is in jail for selling lids. I love you the words were softer than air, Startled she turns but no one is there. Sneak past the landlord one time again, delaying her rent until the weekend. Need to make dinner but the cupboard is bare, praying to someone that just doesn't care. I love you the words just like before, where are they from they cut to the core. Kiss… Continue

Love Doesn't Rejoice At Injustice

LOVE DOES'NT REJOICE AT INJUSTICE 3 stars | 5 comments | December 11, 2008 | 351 reads Love does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. I heard someone (a company I had been to) had recently been robbed. I found myself feeling kinda glad because of the way I had been treated by them in the past. This initial feeling quickly turned into GUILT which results in conflict between the Holy Spirit and the still corrupt natural deeds of my flesh. N… Continue

Love Takes No Account of Evil

Love takes no account of the evil done to it. Here again, the King James rendering, just doesn't cut it for me. It renders I Cor 13 verse 5 as "...thinketh no evil", but when you dig a little deeper into the original use of these words, you see that this refers to: a taking into account of things, and in this particular case, the thing is "NO EVIL". Now in keeping within the context that this verse is in, we are talking about how LOVE, TAKES NO ACCOUNT OF THE EVIL DONE TO IT, another way to put… Continue
