His Creation, Our Mission

   The earth is filled with His wondrous creation. When the sun sets, the night sky is radiant with beauty. God's glory is all around us.
   Stop. Close your eyes and listen for Him. He speaks. He will speak to those who listen for Him. His gentle whisper is sweeter than a grand symphony. There is no one like our God. He is the Almighty One. He created the Universe.
   He has anointed us with a calling for His Kingdom. He lives within us. "We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves." (2 Corinthians 4:7)


   Everything in and on the earth is proof of how great He is. We were created to carry out His work. We live to bring Him glory. He is our mission. He will give us strength to carry out His plans. "The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace." (Psalms 29:11)
   If we ever feel too afraid to step out in faith, God will renew our courage. God will restore our strength. Through Him we are made strong, and through Him we can conquer all things. Through His grace we have been made into new creations. He has made us right before the Throne.
   Now we can take heart and go out into the battle field. He has overcome the world, so we have nothing to fear.
   "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant lif...

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A...
