Good morning and happy Thursday. Have you ever played hide and seek with a little kid ? You know a little kid that puts just their head under a blanket and thinks because they can't see anyone, no one can see them. It's so cute. We laugh and think how silly they are. You ever try hiding stuff from God ? He thinks the the same thing. How silly they are ? Why do we "hide" it from Him any ways ? He's the one we should be going to with our stuff any way. He wants nothing more than to sit and listen to you spill it and get it out so He can help you get passed it and move forward in the life He has for you, plus, the big plus, is so He can forgive you. The world doesn't want you to be that free. To be unburdened and living in the true grace of God. Satan can't win if you stay close to the Father. Olly olly oxen free; (look that up and read the scoop on it while thinking of Jesus). The Lord Jesus has called you in from the game of life to be set free in Him. He has changed the game by making us a way home. We're no longer a slave to fear. We are children of God. Don't "hide" any more. Go set it free with the Father and come home unburdened. In love always. <><

Even the sparrow knows

Good morning and happy Monday. Christians, we believe in God the Father. His Son Jesus who died for our sins so we may stand before the Father blameless. That's a powerfully deep belief. Especially in a world that calls us fools. Why do you think that is ? If we are so convinced as to Him and our belief in Him, why would anyone doubt us ? There's lots of reasons, from no personal experience or exposure, that they know of, to being severely hurt by one of us. But let's look at at our role in it. How can people with such great conviction and belief keep others away? It's simple really. Do they see Jesus in you and your action and reactions ? In your contentment and peace in the midst of a storm ? We believe the very first words of the Bible fully ; In the beginning God ........ He created it all. Nothing passes by Him without His knowledge. He knows this hair fell out of its place on my head while also knowing that a mother is beside her child's bed calling out to Him to save her child. Not one flower in the field dies without Him knowing. In Luke 12, Jesus tells His disciples of these hairs and makes mention of the sparrows. I have never in my nearly 50 years of life seen a sparrow worry. Not one bird wonder if things will be ok. God has always taken care of them. Are we not more valuable to Him than a bird ? We can believe He can create the world but He can't take care of this moment ? Sometimes the bird dies. Sometimes the moment doesn't go the way we want it to. Does that change God into something else ? No. Does it mean there will be no pain ? No. But when the world sees your steadfast conviction and faith in God during this time, it has the power to change them. The sparrow knows God will take care of him, do you ? In love always <><
