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.

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NO MATTER WHAT!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." ______________________________________________ Watching the news and living in a world that seems to have given way to fits of pandemonium it seems as if hope is in short supply.   Each week we get reports of shootings, world hunger, sickness and corruption.   How can anyone be truly blessed when the world is going down.   Like a neighborhood that once was the cream of the Crop that has begun to be run down, our world needs a revival and rejuvenation.   This time and moment are the birth pains that will give way for that revival.   No matter what the world news is reporting! No matter what you hear or see! No matter what tools Satan employs: ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
