I am not Alone.... Kari Jobe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfveawSAHJA

At the age I am now, I have seen some of my loved ones face their hour of death. Praise Jesus they were all at peace and comfortable by care also given by Hospice. They put their faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ.

This morning in my quiet time I had a thought that ripped my heart to pieces. Number one I thank God for Hospice and their hearts of compassion for our loved ones. Also for the medication to keep them absolutely comfortable as they are getting ready to go from here into eternity.

As a believer in Jesus Christ, in our suffering, and when our time is near the end of our journey here, we not only have Jesus Christ in our heart and soul, but we also have this Hospice care that gives us medication to keep us as comfortable as possible.

When I thought of Jesus, and the suffering He went through, He had no comfort as He hung on that cross dying for the sins of the world. He didn't even have the comfort of His Father's presence. That just rips at my heart.

We live in a world that brings us painful situations at times. I am so thankful to be a believer, and to have His constant presence. Also to know that when my time comes, and I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He is with me...... "I am not alone" Psalm 23: 4, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.....thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."

Grace to Grace.....Hillsong Worship

I just had to laugh when I heard a commercial dating website this morning advertise that, "if you are single, and you haven't gone to our website, you are missing out." ....I mean really? I almost want to get mad, but it's healthier to laugh at the way this world sees things. It's just like all the pills they tell you to take if your having problems in the sex area. After you hear all the side affects, that should scare the heck out of you.

If you could get Jesus in pill form, I would tell you to overdose on it. There would be no side affects to kill you. It would give you life like you've never known before. But we all know that Jesus is a choice. Roman's 10: 9-10..... Isaiah 55: 6-7..... John 1: 12-13..... 2 Peter 3: 9.....

Revelations 3: 20, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in"......

If you haven't entered in, or even thought to open the door to this Amazing Grace, you are TOTALLY missing out on the best love relationship of your life! No one, and nothing, can compare to Jesus Christ. Having my heart was worth His pain he endured for me on that blood stained cross. That's love like I've never known before.

Heal our Land..... Kari Jobe

What great lyrics, and so very powerful if we would only let the Spirit of God breath in our lives with His full breath. "One church, one bride, with one voice we cry.".... United, no watering down the truth of God's standards.

2 Chronicles 7: 14....... Notice this verse, God is saying..... "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I WILL HEAR".... James 4: 10 "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you."

We can't get impatient with God or others who don't know any better, if we, those of us who call ourselves Christians, are living with one foot in agreement with God's standards, and one foot on picking and choosing what standards we want to agree with and live by.

We should never water down the truth in our own lives, or in speaking it to others. God tells us to be one or the other. Hot or cold, no in between. He is very clear in Revelations 3: 15-16. So if you feel like this world is getting worse and worse, are we, His children, luke warm in our command from Jesus to, "Go and make disciples"... Matthew 28: 18-20, It's not our thoughts or opinions that should be taught. It's Jesus Christ standards alone.

Speak in love, "that every eye will see, and every heart will know the One who took our sin. The One who died and rose."
