Lifeline..... Mandissa

 

There are many reasons that I will never understand how anyone can't believe in God. Colossians 1: 16, Psalm 146:6, The Creator of ALL THINGS.

After experiencing the birth of my granddaughter, that tops everything. Can a human mind even take it all in? I can't! From the time of conception, to developing in the womb, from getting all that it needs from this umbilical cord, EVEN BREATH, to coming out into this world, cutting that lifeline, and taking it's first breath from their little nostrils. WOW!!!! I'm sure I missed a lot in-between that only the Creator God knows. I mean, who do you think created you? 

Where do you think your air supply comes from? Every breath you take is because God is the umbilical cord you NEVER want to cut. He is your supply for everything!!
There is that lifeline from mother to child while they are developing in the womb. The baby is totally dependent on everything from it's mother. Then there is that lifeline, when you are old enough to understand. It is to God the Father through Jesus Christ His Son. Totally dependent upon Him to walk me through this life. But it's your choice to believe this by faith. God doesn't push Himself on anyone. He just gives you MANY EYE OPENERS!

What a gift from above these little bundles are. What Spiritual volumes conception and birth speaks.  From cutting the cord that the baby depended on everything to develop in that world. To coming into this world, still dependent, now on both parents. Our responsibility as parents, is to raise them up in the way that they should go, Proverbs 22:6.

 This is my hearts cry for all of my family. To never detach from this lifeline, lifelong relationship. To always be dependent on God through Jesus Christ. Romans 8: 31-39 says it all for me. I hope you read it for yourself....."nothing can ever separate us from God's love." He will always love us. Sin is the only thing that separates us from a relationship with Him, now and for all eternity. He loves us but hates our sin. That is why He sent His Son. We can never be good enough, or do enough. So we depend on the blood flowing grace alone to bring us into a right relationship with God. The same as you punish your children for doing something wrong as a parent. God the Father is a just God as well as loving. Wrong does not go unpunished. All God desires from us is to recognize our need for Jesus. Is that really asking too much to free us from our sin? I sure don't think so.

1 John 4: 9, "He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him." Get it...Lifeline...our adult umbilical cord. Just like a baby needs that cord for life, so we need Jesus to truly live. Romans 8:10, "But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness."
Don't take things so deep. Believe by faith, and go deep into relationship with Jesus.
