Daily Reminders
Would like to add a few lines a young Christian girl gave me.
Everyday is a good
day
Because God made
it in His own way
And every minute
is a good minute
Because God is in
it
The
simplicity of children’s faith still overwhelms me. Their ability to trust
Jesus without any of the conditions or complications our human mind gropes with
as we grow older. The trusting love given back by children to their Savior
gives us a glimpse of what complete surrender, unaltered humility, total
acceptance without any question, is all about.
It is no wonder that out of the mouths of babes God does perfect praise
(Matt 21:16).
The Lord will help
us all, He has the whole world in His hands, watching over those He loves,
tenderly taking care of His children. All may not go as we plan, but Jesus
is there to pick us up and carry us through our trials, our troubles, until we
all meet in Heaven above.
It
is not what you can do for Christ, it is what Christ
can do through you.
*But
Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this
is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matt 19:26 KJV
We
can study Scripture’s laws that condemn us to everlasting death or accept
Christ’s grace which brings us eternal life.
*For by grace are
ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not
of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9 KJV
We
can hammer away trying to change another’s mind, or quietly bring them to the
Holy Spirit who will open their hearts to Christ.
*…that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost. 1 Co 12:3 KJV
We
must put physical blessings in perspective with spiritual blessings. For what
is 40, 80, even 100 years on earth compared to eternity in Heaven. We will have
more than a thousand, more than a million, more than a trillion years in
Heaven. I can’t even comprehend this much time, but will not have to worry about
it. For there is no time in Heaven, it’s just forever. We should love our Lord,
our neighbor, and live as our Savior would have us live. Thereby
receiving spiritual blessings that will be eternal, instead of worrying about
physical blessings that will pass away when we die.
* Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon
earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and
steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matt 20:19-21 KJV
We
have nothing to fear, but fear itself. And fear is
merely an human emotion which is pushed out of our
hearts by the love of our Savior. For Christ is always with us in this world,
and will be eternally with us in Heaven above.
*For I am
persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 KJV
Today
will be a good day, tomorrow will be a better one, and the next day will even
be greater. For all believers know that
each day brings us one day closer to coming home to live with Jesus in
*For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Phi 1:21 KJV
We will never be able to
comprehend everything about God and His Spiritual Kingdome. For that which we cannot understand we must
ask God to instill in our hearts the love and faith needed to trust in Him
until all things are explained to us in Heaven above. Many scoff at believing in something you
cannot fathom. But one can enjoy the
beautiful color and fragrance of a flower without understanding why it looks or
smells so good. We still do not
understand how or why a tornado occurs, but we are smart enough to get out of
its way. We know the peace God brings to
our hearts when we talk with Him in prayer, even though we cannot physically
comprehend how it is accomplished. Our
God is a Spirit, a Spirit of love and power, truth and wisdom, of might and
tenderness, of majesty and compassion, of anger at evil and of patience waiting
for us to return to the fold. Our God is
all knowing and all forgiving, present everywhere in His vast universe, yet
lives within our hearts. He opens His
arms for all to come to Him, yet separates the wheat from the chaff, burning
the chaff in Hell. He is truthful
keeping all His promises and just being fair to all, avenging those who have
been mistreated. He desires constantly
to talk with us, and is angry when we put other gods or pleasures before
Him. He is the best friend we will ever
have, and the most powerful enemy to those who would take us from His tender
care.
Abide in me and I in you. John 15:4 KJV
The greatest gift we will
ever be given is the love of our Almighty God. The greatest gift we can ever
give is to pass His love on to others. And the more love we give to our Lord, to
all people, the more love our Lord will give us.
Jesus feeds us spiritual bread so
hope will always stay
Gives us living water to take all of our sins away
Clothes us in love that binds believers in one accord
Brings us to Heaven to live forever with our Lord
