He is the Light..... Bryan and Katie Torwalt

If I showed you an acorn, would you believe that this tiny little nut can grow into a huge oak tree? A little acorn has great ability to grow if it abides in the right soil. Also if proper sunlight is on it. If no squirrels or birds come and eat it. Many acorns fall from these huge trees, but very few of them make it to become a huge oak tree.   Why? Because it never had a chance to abide in the right soil.

Mark 4: 15..."Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them."

Many, I mean since the beginning of God's beautiful creation, many have been told of the coming of Jesus Christ. The One Who would take away the sins of the world. No more under law, but under His beautiful grace. That is a great seed planted. It also has great ability to grow in you if you choose. It's up to you to believe this truth by faith. Nurture it, abide in it, seek it continuously. It will grow, if you allow the Light in, to the greatest love relationship you ever had.

Listen to these words of wisdom:

 Proverbs 2: 1-8, "My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding....search for it as if for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find knowledge of God".......  

 Accept the word of truth...Drive it deep into the depths of your heart. Not just leaving it in your head where the enemy steals it.... Talk to God about His treasure He has for you. He has nothing to hide. It is your own ignorance not to seek Him. He is a jealous God, Exodus 34: 14. So if your seeking other  gods to this life, you will not be ABIDING IN the only TRUTH that leads to true joy while you are here, and eternal life when your time is up here.

Have it all Lord........Bethel

These lyrics are so much more than just words coming from my mouth. Once the words become a genuine request to God, it then becomes a hearts outcry to my Savior. My soul continuously being changed, growing to desire more of Him, and less of me.

Not easy lyrics to say, because surrendering every part of what I think is ok with me, God continually shows me where His work in me is never over this side of heaven. All He wants is my willing Spirit. I mean, it's Him in me anyway, so He knows the best of me.

I don't know what your personal issues may be. But if it's something that you wouldn't do or say if Jesus was right next to you, and you are still doing it anyway, then you probably need to surrender it.

Oh the true joy that is found in this surrender. His UNFAILING grace just pours more and more into my life. I mean it was always there, but my obedience by faith accesses this wonderful grace. Romans 5: 2, "through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God."

Faith in just trusting your Heavenly Father loves and cares for you more than you will ever be able to comprehend. Proverbs 3: 5, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;"... He is always with you.

We live in a sinful world, so even bad things will happen in our lives. Jesus didn't hide that from us. John 16: 33, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” .....I would rather go through bad times with Him, than without Him. He knows everything from the beginning of my life, till I take my last breath. What can be more comforting than the thought of, when I close my eyes here. I open them there. John 14: 3, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am."

I'm not sure what you put your hope in, but I think I'll rest in that.
