HE Speaks…I Love your imperfections…


This song, “Saints and Angels” by Sara Evans may not speak directly about a relationship with God…but every time I listen to it….it reminds me of the depth of my own personal relationship with Christ!

Making mistakes…putting my own agenda before God’s…forgetting Thankfulness…choosing to “pine” for something else…

In our sin, we get “bogged” down…and feel the weight of the world…Forgetting that with God…we can FLY!!!

And through it all…in this roller coaster journey HE has us on…HE has the GRACE to SAVE US…in the HERE…in the NOW…and in HIS KINGDOM COME…His will….it WILL be done!

Are you ready to “FLY”?  There is an amazing “flight” filled journey awaiting…

Ask God to help you see all that HE has planned for you…and to shed that which weighs you down…Stepping forward in FAITH and to FLY!

Amen


Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven…

Give us today our daily bread.  And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…AMEN

HE Speaks…The Broken Road…


Walking by Faith…even when I cannot see...it IS the broken road…that PREPARES your will for me…to see Christ!

The Broken road…when we are at are worst, when we are SO confused, when our sadness is overwhelming, when everything seems to be going wrong, when life feels like it is falling apart…God is there…preparing HIS will for me.

It is hard to embrace the “broken times.”  And yet if we claim Christ as our savior, we WILL experience brokenness.  We WILL be broken…we are meant to experience brokenness…to better “see” CHRIST!  That IS His will for me…

Only in brokenness can we “see” our Savior…He IS our Savior!!!

He has come…to heal you…to fill you…to feed you…to love you…to protect you… to SAVE YOU…This IS the original covenant…

God WILL stand by His first love…His master piece…His children of Abram.  He WILL do as His word claims…Never leave your side…Always to be a champion for your cause!  Protecting you ALWAYS!

In our misery, pain, and sadness, our eyes are often clogged with tears, un able to “see” that God is right there, interceding on our path…to the Father.

I trust you Jesus…this IS where I begin to see…
I trust you…even though I cannot see the path you prepared for me…
I trust in my God, because HE gave me Jesus to get through this time…
I am trusting this “broken road” leads to Christ! 
I trust you Jesus…you WILL reveal yourself to me…
I trust you…even as my eyes are clogged…Your rod and staff guide and comfort my way…I WILL see you move on my behalf…

We CAN CONFIDENTLY put these broken times in His hand…and embrace the unknown path ahead…

After stating such TRUST…receive the PEACE…that ONLY HE can offer…confidently walking forward on the path…IN HIS Will….that He has prepared for me.

Amen


2 Corinthians 4:18   So we fix our eyes NOT on what is seen…but on what is UNSEEN. For what is seen is temporary…but what is UNSEEN is eternal. 


Isaiah 43:2  

When you go through deep waters…I WILL be with you...
When you go through rivers of difficulty…you will NOT drown...
When you walk through the fire of oppression…you will NOT be burned up…
the flames will NOT consume you.

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
