"Perfect World"

Wouldn't it be great if all people just loved one another? No more war, no more crime, no more fear.That is after all Gods plan! We all strive to be more like God but never do we make it. All humans have the potential to become more and more like God. What then is the motivation needed? Jesus came and motivated a lot of followers. Maybe what we need is a lot more Jesus like people out there trying?? Verses; Matt: 28 19-20 John: 8 31

"Cruising"

Ever been in a part of life where all seemed easy? I'll call it "cruising". Life just seemed to roll along effortlessly. Also there is the times where we are going uphill constantly. What if the downhill following that is shorter? We can only pray and hope that we hit the flats again and cruise. There is no way to determine for sure what we will experience. We can however endure it all and look forward to some cruising time, along with ups and downs. Verses Isaiah:40 28-31 Heb: 12 1-3

"Listening, Hearing, Obeying"

I am currently struggling with that very theme. How do I make sure I get it right? There has been times it has been so obvious to me what God is saying. There have also been times I have questioned my "thinking". At critical junctions in life, I want to be on track with God. Praying and asking for his will seems like a good start. My caution is that Satan may try to invade those thoughts and actions. The best I can do is measure everything to the bible and Gods' teachings. Pray: God give me a solid foundation and guide me in all I do. Amen Verses: 1 Sam 1 3- 9 James 1: 19-25

"Love"

Probably the most wrote about word?? In some form or another many a song and many a story have started here. We all strive to have it and usually find it somewhere. What it means to us or others is very personal. To love a child is automatic and for life. To love God is a choice and a awesome gift. To be loved by God is built in from birth. God can help us to share and receive love. God is after all, Love, so what better place to start! Pray: God be the director of all our loves. Verses 1 John: 4 16-18 2 John 4-6

" Mountains and Wind"

In this world, as in life there are mountains and wind. To climb a mountain, it takes endurance and time. The wind can be a friend or a foe. If you are going against the wind it feels like climbing a mountain. Along with that comes the beauty of it all. Mountains inspire and awe us!! Wind moves seed and scatters dust to new places. The winds cause our weather to change, the mountains affect it too. Thank you God for both and the wonder that mountains and wind provide. Verses: Isaiah 52- 7 James 1 5-8

"Strength"

We all have an idea of what strength is. Often times we think of it as a strong massive bulk. gods strength is so much more suttle. The strength we need or have may be anything but large or bulky? The bible tells us that we find strength in our weakness. Seems like quite the contradiction? Turning to God to give us strength is and always will be our best choice. His strength knows no limits. Verses: 2 Co 12: 10 Php 4: 13

"Prayer"

We all have heard the expression" Power of Prayer". I also hope we all have experienced it too. When the community of believers pray there is a power that God uses to help us. The time frame may not fit our thinking, but Gods timing is perfect. praying for and being prayed for is what God wants us to do. An on going communication with God is essential to spiritual growth. Prayer: God encourage us, enlighten us, and others to pray and be prayed for. Verses: 2Ch 30: 27 James 5: 13-16
