Hello Friends, I invite you along our journey through life, making friends, laughing together, sharing our thoughts, imaginations, and dreams. We are a family with a HUGE DREAM. It's a little early to share just what that dream is but trust me it will be worth the wait.
James 1:17 is close to my heart today- Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above, who created all heaven's lights. Unlike them, he never changes or casts shifting shadows. In his goodness he chose to make us his own children by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his choice possession. NLT
The last part of that scripture is where my heart stands still today. Out of all creation, became his choice possession. WOW! That means whether we live in mansions or mud houses we are still HIS CHOSEN POSSESSION!
This scripture bids my heart to stand still- in the moment and just let that sink in...............
The next part of that scripture I am moved by is- In HIS GOODNESS, HE chose to make us his own children by giving us his true word. I take that to mean that while we were being conceived we were surrounded by HIS GOODNESS. We were made from goodness. WOW let us just let that sink in.............
So there is no misunderstanding for why we are here. If we all decided that we would each pick one day and use that one day to speak God's word into someone else' life say this scripture for instance- if we were to say 'Did you know that when you were created you were surrounded by God's goodness?' Wouldn't that be something to see on people's faces? It kind of is quite humbling to think about. Once you speak into someones life they will forever remember those words. Those words immediately go into what we call memory. As that person goes about their day those words will keep coming up in their imagination and they will begin to ponder what was said to them. Do you see how powerful words are? They either consecrate or cremate one's self image. Wouldn't it be amazing to decide today was the day that we took a stand with regarding our words. What if we decided that we would put ALL of our efforts in using our words to consecrate others all day long. What if we made it part of our journey through life to lift others up by God's word. He promises that it is truth. So how can we go wrong. WE CAN'T! Can we begin to use this as a way to do something different? Be someone different, you know when we were created, God's goodness surrounded us- can we decide then that we need to choose today as the first day to be like the image of our God Jehovah who is good, and loving and gentle and has chosen us as HIS POSSESSION?
Wouldn't that change us on how we search the scriptures of God's word if we knew that we were searching for truth to say to others all day long. Is that empowering? To know that we can impact someones life just by spending a little time in the Word of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us to people, His people to give that truth a voice.
Wouldn't it be amazing to see the change on someones face when you speak God's word to them? Now of course I am not saying to dominate someones space by throwing God's word at them like you must know the Bible and wow aren't you smart. I am suggesting that you be humble and full of God's grace about HIS WORD. Remember His Word is holy. Holy is a term that many people don't use often. It is a word that reminds us of power. Power that is not used to cremate someone but rather consecrate someone. Please hear my heart here- it is not wise to try to overpower others with your knowledge of God's Word. That can get very ugly really quick and you will be on your own. God's goodness is NOT shared that way. Remember God is gentle, kind, and meek. So present yourself likewise.
Father God , my sweet Jehovah ,I pray today right now by faith that today is the day that I can make a difference in someone else' life. I am honored to know Your truth and to speak it. I take this very humbly and my heart bids me to walk from this day forward in kindness, meekness, and gentleness, just like You. I pray Lord that you will continue to work in me and through me as I search the scriptures of Your Word to bless someone else with. I pray Lord that the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to You today and everyday from this day forward. Father I give You all the praise, honor and the glory, In Jesus Name'
amen and amen
