EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!!!!

Matthew 13:44

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a
field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to
get enough money to buy the field.

                What do you treasure? In this life your actions will give proof of
what is closest to your heart. Whether if it is money, sex, family, or
success it will manifest in where you spend the majority of your time. As
you traverse through the corridors of your life the lessons learned along
the way will shift your focus to new realities and passions.  If you get
married and have children you naturally will begin to think long-term and
prepare for a future that includes your spouse and children. If you begin a
career of professional sports you will invest in coaches and trainers to
perfect your skill and talent. All these things deal with the temporary and
temporal things of life. Family and occupation are noble causes and show
maturity however in comparison to eternity and its Master it is but a pit
stop on the path to the ultimate reality in GOD.

                I know your time if filled chasing, and maintaining the treasures of
this world. Treasures than can be corrupted, die, and or replaced. Jesus
gives us an example in this parable of the paradigm shift each of us will
encounter when we truly recognize what GOD has offered us in the kingdom of
Heaven. When you think of sacrifice and what you have given up to reach some
of your goals, (i.e. the freedom of a single life traded for marriage, or
all the time invested in school to obtain the professional position and
status of a particular vocation), they should all be worth giving up in
order to achieve membership in the kingdom. Not that you have to give up
your family, or vocation, but you should be willing to.  You should be
willing to sacrifice it all because, like the man in the parable, what you
have found in Christ is worth everything you have to give. Being an active
Ambassador of the Kingdom of GOD should become your new passion. Your old
treasures should become assignments given by the King to exercise your
position of Ambassador and representative of Christ.

         Bottom line: If you truly recognize and give GOD the place he
deserves in your heart, then you should live a life professing and
expressing His authority over you.  Release the habits of the old man and
recognize GOD as the treasure that is worth every inch and corner of your
life's possessions and ambitions. Take this moment to give yourself away
totally to Him. Serve him! Represent Him in all that you do. Give GOD
everything!

I love you always and in all ways.

HARVEST TIME!

Galatians 6:9 New International Version (NIV) 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Have you ever been working, waiting, or standing in the gap for anyone? In such times of testing and prayer did you ever think how easy it would be to give up? It seems that while we are going through we loose sight of the goal GOD has set before us! We focus on our discomfort and take the burden onto our own backs instead of leaning on GOD's everlasting arms. The struggle itself is not the problem. However, our main problem is our human condition. We cannot do it all on our own. We must constantly look in the mirror and remind ourselves that we are not alone. . . Ever! We must remember who our GOD is. GOD will never allow you to go through a problem without bringing you to your blessing. It may take more time than you would like to endure. However the outcome and harvest gained is what's needed. If you are ...

LOVE. . . EVEN WHEN IT HURTS!

John 4:7-8 7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.  _____________________________ It sounds so easy! “Love one another”! But it is a task that takes practice and the Holy Spirit working within us to accomplish.   IT is easy to love a friend or a family member. Those who are good to us make it easy. But what about our enemies? How can we love them?   This verse does not exclude our enemies.   Those who push our buttons need our love the most.   Those who we must pray for daily need to see Christ in each one of us.   And please remember to others we are that person that needs prayer as well. Bottom Line: Loving others the way GOD loves us is not an easy task. It takes the spirit of GOD working in side of us to accomplish.   It takes the death of the old us and the new nature of Christ living in...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint" (Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV). Do Not Grow Weary In Waiting!!! I have realized that we live in a society that has trained us to have everything "right now" and our way. We have become experts in getting our children to stop having temper tantrums. We grow weary when we even think about how long something may take. And the thought of working through a rough patch in our lives and marriages seems like the thing not to do. I mean!! Half of our marriages end in divorce. How can Christians fight for marri...
