God Speaks I Listen

God said “You’re Planning to Do What?”

August 13, 2011

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Planning 5 Comments

Jeremiah 29:11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

There is a song with a line that says……”And if you wanna hear God laugh, tell him your plans.”
God has plans for us…..are we following those plans or are we doing our own thing?

It says in Proverbs 20:24 A man’s steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way?

I’m gonna tell you…I don’t know what’s best for me….I act like I do and then I get myself in all kinds of trouble.
I’m married to a very wise man. Many people seek him out for his counsel on many different areas of life, business, etc. I seek him out many times too and when he gives me advice and I don’t follow what he says I always wind up getting into a mess and then I say to him….”I should have listened to you!” Don’t we do this to God sometimes? The Holy Spirit gives me good counsel….and then I go out and do what I want to do ….and you guessed it…..a mess!…and then I go and do the same thing again. Hey…am I the only one?

I bet God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit crack up laughing at us and all of our antics. I know I keep God rolling off His throne laughing at me and at my crazy schemes.

Ok…so here’s what not to do. Don’t go around borrowing money because you need money for some need. Here’s a good one…. you’re going to help God provide for you…you don’t really need to trust Him…..maybe you can borrow some money from your 401k or from your retirement . What? You’re having a problem with your kids? You’re going to call Nana to come stay at your house to help you with that problem child? Yes we are always trying to help God out!

Ok ….so here’s what you do…..You’re going to follow this scripture… Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Then you are going to…Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. That’s from 1 Peter 5:7 And because you have given all your troubles over to the Lord… you are not going to ask Him after you’ve pray for you need what is He going to do for you because it says in Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Now we know all of God’s plans will work out because it says in Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Need I say more? We don’t need a plan when our God is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. God doesn’t need my smartness….He needs my humble reliance on Him only. That’s all….no planning….scheming….plotting……finagling. He makes it very clear in His word to…..Cast all you care on Him….all of your cares!! If we don’t do this we will get those lessons that teach us that there is no way out except God. I’ve had MANY of those lessons over the years…they work…they teach you to rely on God…..God will pluck out everyone around you so you only see Him as your source of help. I’m giving you the heads up here. Don’t thank me just drop your plans and take all your concerns to the Lord!

Don’t even think about it…..Planning!

Message for today: God is looking at you…..that plan you have hiding behind your back? Ditch it……because I can hear God laughing at it.

Who Am I….Really?

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer walking in the Spirit 2 Comments

Galatians 5:22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

I am a born again Christian and when I became a Christian….I became a new person….I was changed. The old ways that made up who I was fading away and the evidence of the new me was emerging. Because I became a born again Christian….I now have the Holy Spirit living inside of me and He is my constant guide in my new nature.

I have no problems exhibiting these fruits of love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control………when I’m under the full control of the Holy Spirit……but sometimes…..OK…..A little more than I would like to admit to……I get into my fleshy self……then I have to repent…..and get to that place where I am walking in the Spirit of my Holy God. How I wish that I can walk in the Spirit 100% of the time……but we are human…yup…last time I checked I still live here on earth so…I’m still human.

I want to produce this fruit all the time… so I know what I have to do. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalms 119:11. I also have to do this: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths Proverbs 3:6. I have to let go and let God…through the power of His Holy Spirit ….leading me and guiding me.

Who am I really? Am I this loving, peaceful, joyful, Patient, gentle, faithful, well behaved good person? I have to say…..I believe so because of the work that Christ has done in my life….who is the author and finisher of my faith. He has started this good work in me and He WILL complete it. I want Him to…..I love Him and I want my life to reflect Him in me. ……I love Him and I want my life to reflect Him in me…..Yes I said it twice…I want to honor God with this! The more I pray and the more I study His word the easier it is to obtain these goals.

When I don’t do these two things…it is an uphill battle up the rough side of a steep dangerous mountain and I can get lost. When I follow the lead of the Holy Spirit….I have a guide….when I follow the Word of God (bible)….I have a light for my way. WALK IN THE SPIRIT YA’LL….WALK IN THE SPIRIT! Who are you……really?

I’m a born again believer in Jesus Christ…….can you tell…who I am?

Message for today: Know who you are……really….and walk that way….and produce some good fresh fruit!!

The Transition…Beam Me Up Lord!

Transporter room - Star Trek TV Series..."Beam Me Up Scotty"

2 Corinthians 5:1-7 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house heaven, not built by human hands. 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Today I hear the Lord telling me to talk about dying. God does not want us being fearful about this inevitable event that will happen to each of us. Paul is very clear in the scripture above that when we are not in our human fleshly body we who are in Christ will be present immediately with the Lord….we will be……transitioned. Transition means to move from one state to another. I like calling it… “The Transition” because I feel like I’m moving from my earthly home to my heavenly home and it’s a natural move that I was expecting to make one day.

My husband and I are Star trek fans and one of the famous saying was …“Beam me up Scotty”. Beaming up was when a person wanted to get back aboard the star ship, they would ask the transport engineer person to beam them up and a machine would make them disappear from where they were to back on the ship. When I get sick of my suffering here on earth I sometimes want to say to the Lord ……“Beam me up”!! When Jesus comes back for us in the rapture of the church He will do just that.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

There was a little children’s prayer that I used to say before bed time:

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
if I die before I wake,
I pray for Lord my soul to take.

This prayer used to make me at scared when I was a little kid….that I might die in my sleep….WHOA!!!…..but as I got older I felt this poem gave me a peace in a knowing God would have my soul…..as an adult I didn’t teach this prayer to my kids…..it’s kind of a downer.

We should not fear dying and we should not want to die because of dissatisfaction with this life. We should want to be in the presence of the Lord at our appointed time and we should as Christians be encouraged to know a great place awaits us and we will have no more suffering.

Paul says in Philippians that he would rather be with Christ….Me too….I so long to see my Saviors face and to experience God in person….and then there’s that mansion…ok…just kidding…..I want to see Jesus….one day. Beam me up Lord!

Philippians 1:23-25 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

My Mom - Loved The Lord 1928-2011

My mom went home to be with the Lord in February 2011 and although I miss her so much… I’m so happy about her transition. My mom loved the Lord and she was not afraid to die and talked openly about being with the Lord. She loved us and wanted to be here for us but she loved God so much more.

Let’s have a different view of our death today. Let’s view it as our transition to a beautiful new life. In the book of Revelation it speaks about all the great things that‘s awaiting us in our eternal life and we are to be encouraged by this. I am looking forward to being with the lover of my soul Jesus. I’m going to endure every trial…every situation… every earthly discomfort because I know there is a great reward and rest from all my suffering. While I’m waiting to go, I’m going to serve the Lord anyway I can….thus….writing my blog!

Message for today: In life we go through many transitions….but the greatest transition will be the day we get to see the face of our beautiful Savior. Glory Halleluiah!!

Thinking About Our USA Military Men and Women… Our Brave soldiers

August 9, 2011

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer military, Soldiers, USA, veterans, war 3 Comments

2 Chronicles 32:8 With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.

Dearest United States Military,

I think about you all the time and pray for you. I also think about all our veterans who have already served. My dad who is 85 years old is a Navy veteran and He has been telling me His war stories and I’ve learned that it’s not easy going to war but that you do it for our country and for our freedom and the freedom of others.

Being a soldier takes training skill and facing many challenging circumstances. Boot camp alone is the first big challenge. I’ve seen many of my son’s friends go off to boot camp and they me tell how hard it is….but necessary. Many of you have husbands, wives and children and must leave them and go off to war. That alone is a tremendous sacrifice. Many of you get injured and many die in battle. When I hear about these sacrifices my heart hurts for the families.

To all our precious soldiers and their families, I care about you so much and I want you to know that although you don’t know me I am praying for you and I know there are many other Christians out there praying for your safety and strength as well. We prayer intercessors and prayer warriors got your backs in prayer. You will probably never meet us, but it doesn’t matter….we don’t need to because God knows where you are and who you are.

You all are so brave to do what you do!! I truly admire your strength, duty and honor that you bring to our country. And you women soldiers…..I call you Diva Soldiers….why?….Because you are my she-ro’s…..You’re right out there doing so great! You see ….I would not have ever made it past boot camp….if fact…I would have never got on the bus LOL! I’m a big chicken….so I take off my apron to you….wave it around and say….thank you!

I want to say thank you to you all and I encourage you to hold on to your faith in the Lord our God. He will be there for you….He promised that He would in His word. Please pray very often and read your bible if you are not already doing that. It should also be part of your equipment for the battle.

I have been in many battles myself….one is with my health and the fight of my life… cancer. This is my favorite scripture verse that I have used in many of my battles: 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (please read your bible for more encouragement)

One Last thing I want to do is pray for you:

Dearest Heavenly Father,

I come before you today because you are my Father and you have all power in your hands. I ask you to help each and every soldier from every branch of our armed forces and ask you to give them your strength and peace. Guide them, give them wisdom and courage. Lord keep them safe and give them victory over their difficult circumstances. Protect and keep their families secure, safe and strong while they are away from them. For those who have lost loved ones give them comfort. For those who are lonely and are missing their families give them peace, and for those who have been injured, give them healing and strength. I thank you for what you are going to do and for all the victories. I ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ……Amen.

Deuteronomy 20:1 When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.

Please read my blog……Are You Afraid Of The Boogie Man?

Message for Today: The battle is the Lord’s……..but……..you’ve got to take Him with you in the battle. Is Jesus in you…….good……start praying …..You’ve got His attention. If Jesus is not in you the see your Chaplin ASAP, write me in the side bar……or talk to God right now and repent of your sins and believe in Jesus today. God bless you all!!

Is Your Tongue Like a Tree of Life or a Bush of Thorns?

August 8, 2011

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Taming the tongue Leave a comment

Subtitle- Taming the Tongue

Proverbs 15:4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

My tongue….the thought of it sometimes sickens me when I think of things that I have said in the past to people….like my kids and my husband…since I’ve been around them the most. I’m going to confess to you…… at times I’ve had an ugly tongue. I think tongues are ugly in general….They are all pink, bumpy and just plain yucky. Have you ever used one of those tongue scrapers?…..I’m talking disgusting!….Now that I’ve totally grossed you out, I’ll confess my own tongue disease called foot in the mouth disorder. It comes from not thinking before you speak and it’s very easy to catch this disease.

Edward scissorhands/scissormouth

When my children were growing up I used my tongue to keep them in check and sometime it was almost as sharp as God’s sword….now that’s sharp! LOL! If it was around that time of the month…..you could call me Edward scissor-tongue because I could slice you and dice you. This was not one of my best traits. Then I had 2 sons and I found out boys don’t like yelling so I toned it down. God had to show me over time about my tongue. I’m doing much better these days I’m happy to say. Over the years with the help of the Holy Spirit, I have learned to have a gentle tongue.

I wanted to please the Lord so this is something that had to change and only God can change a person in this way. I also had a hysterectomy so that took care of that PMS thing (smile)…..That’s another blog subject though…God and PMS…LOL

My goal for my life right now is to be encouraging to everyone starting with my family. I want my words to bless. I want my tongue to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. I know it’s up to me to manage my tongue and if I don’t….I know the Holy Spirit is right there to tap me on the shoulder to let me know….un- ah!…..don’t say that….or apologize….your tongue was too sharp.

Although my tongue is pretty meek now……the girlfriend in me…… and 2 snaps to the right can come out at a moment’s notice…..so I pray without ceasing and remember what the scriptures say about the tongue and this keeps that old tongue in check.
I’m so glad that being in Gods family can change you…because God has done a work in my life….He’s still working on me……God will complete this work……and one day I will be…….perfection! Until then I will have to stay on my knees!!

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Message for today: If God used a tongue scraper on you….what would He find… a clean tongue or would He make a face and go YUCK?

This morning I woke up and prayed for a message to give you like I always do and I fell back asleep. In my sleep I saw and heard myself singing this song in a church and all the people stood up towards the end and were giving God praise. The words of the song is written out for you below. I just want to give the Lord all the Honor He deserves this morning…and always. This song says all that is in my heart……….

My Tribute

How can I say thanks
For the things you have done for me
Things so undeserved
Yet You gave to prove your love for me
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be
I owe it all to thee

To God be the glory, to God be the glory
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done
With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done

Just let me live my life
And let it be pleasing Lord to thee
And should I gain any praise
Let it go to Calvary

With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory
For the things He has done

To God be the glory, to God be the glory
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done
With His blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory,
For the things He has done

How to Pray?? The Big Question

August 6, 2011

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer chriatianlty, How to Pray? prayer, Love 1 Comment

Many people have asked this question and many people have written books, have had seminars and preached on this topic. Why, how, what, when…… what more can I say about it? Have you read my blog about Kissing the feet of Jesus? I’ve shared my heart about my prayer life……yet I still feel I have something more to say.

I’m going to say something shocking here…….Prayer is not complicated!! Ok that wasn’t really that shocking but I wanted to get your attention. To tell you the truth….How to pray is a weird question to me….it’s like asking how to love….how to eat…..how to breath?

When I fell in love for the very first time in junior high school I just knew how to love…it came natural. I feel when you fall in love with the Lord talking to Him should be so natural……oh you say…..Fall in love with the Lord? Yes….this is a personal relationship. In 1984 I did fall totally in love with God. I had always loved Him in a distant way….knowing about Him….being told about Him….reading about Him….going to church….singing about Him…..asking for His help in trouble….you know all the regular dealings with God.

But In that year of 1984 I came to know God on a whole different level…..I feel so head over heels in Love with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. What was the difference in this relationship that wasn’t there before? I allowed God to fully come into my life and take charge of me. Because I felt the light of His love and nature…. it exposed my own nature and I became very very sorry for all my sins. I opened myself fully to Him to accept all His love for me and I felt Him inside my soul spirit and body restoring me to a whole blood washed by Jesus person. This was an incredible experience for me. I was so happy, so excited…..I was free from the weights that had pulled me down for years. Who would and could do this for me?….who had that kind of power? It was the Lord…..I was changed and my feelings for Him changed they got deeper.

Now about prayer which is my topic for today. I wanted to know EVERTHING about God and the only way to get this info was to read the bible which I did and then came my prayer life. I did use the Lord ’s Prayer as my beginning guide. But it wasn’t enough for me and the Holy Spirit Himself helped me to pray. I wanted more of God so bad……I waited for Him to talk back to me and He did. The first thing I ever heard Him say to me was…..He called me by my name….and then……He told me He loved me. Tears were streaming down my face as I heard my Heavenly Fathers voice for the first time. I was truly in love…He touched me in my heart. After this there was no stopping me because like Helen Keller when she first understood about sign language and she ran around the room touching and signing….that was me.

I went around telling people that I fell in love with Jesus and people were looking at me with one eyebrow up saying…well alrighty now…that’s nice. Nice that was great to me!

Let me tell you all….I talked God’s head off!! I talked and talked to Him for up to 8 hours a day 7 days a week. Just ask my family. I was told by someone in church that I prayed too much. Someone even told me the reason I suffer with chronic fatigue was because of my prayer life. I just smiled and thought they had a problem because that was a crazy statement….you can’t talk to God too much.

Now everyone does not have to pray that long……that was just me…..I am a prayer intercessor and I have prayed for many people during those blessed years of my life. The longest I pray now is about 2 hours and that’s when the Holy Spirit calls me to that kind of intercession. My prayer now is talking to God on and off throughout the day and daily prayer with my husband.

My whole point here is not to concentrate on the how to….but to concentrate on Him….God….talk to Him…get to know Him…..let Him fully take you over. Melt in His loving arms…drink from His streams of refreshing waters…..Hear and know the sound of His voice….want to be with Him…clutch the bible like it is His love letters to you and hold them close in your heart if fact hide them there. This is how to pray….pray with love for God….His Spirit will lead you and guide you….just be willing to go.

Will someone find you in the secret place…..the garden….where you are alone with the Lord? Will you meet often with the lover of your soul? Who can Love you will all your imperfections? Who can love you so deeply? Who can wash your soul and make you clean? Who can make you so happy despite your circumstance? Who has a mansion waiting for you when you come back home?…..The lover of your soul…God. How do you pray?……Pray with Love…..Pray with Love…..this is the motivating force of my worship and prayers to God……I love Him….so.

Message for today: Change your…. how to pray…..with…. love to pray.

Don’t get prayed up for a rainy day……pray because of Oh happy day.

Get on Your Spiritual Nikes…and Walk with God!

Genesis 5:24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

I love this true bible story and have done a lot of thinking about why God has this story in the bible. What is God saying to us? The meaning of walked in the Greek (Peripateo) is to make one’s way, progress; to make due use of opportunities, regulate one’s life, conduct one’s self, behave. It’s a verb and is used 212 times in the KJV of the Holy Bible. Walked in this scripture verse is an important word that is still hard to figure out. What in Pete’s name did Enoch do that pleased God so much that He would take him straight up to heaven without dying?

I think Enoch had a pure heart….not perfect but pure. God knew all His motives and saw he had a right attitude in all that he said and did. He was honest and had integrity. This was a trait that was hard to find in his day because people were doing lots of bad things during this time period. I believe that he put God first in everything, cared about others and the most important he worshiped, honored and talked with God deeply and often.

This is my little prayer secret….don’t laugh but….. I have tried to do what I thought Enoch did…..but you guessed it…… I wasn’t taken up…I’m still here! I will never stop trying to copy Enoch….but at this point I’ll have to wait until the rapture of the church and get a ride up with everyone else. That’s still really good too!!! I’m ready…got on my good pajamas (wink…for all those who read that blog).

You know what I’m going to say here if you are one of my regular blog followers….I love God so….and I’m determined to walk with God. I want to have a great relationship with God…He already has a great one with me, but I need to maintain mine with Him and it’s an ongoing thing for me to always walk that way…..you know it…..distractions.
I have the Holy Spirit of God in me and He helps me to walk right. Studying Gods word helps me walk right and I try to talk to God as much as I can so I know I’m on the right path. Does my flesh get in the way?….Yup it does and that makes me mad…..that’s why I’m so grateful for Jesus…the cross and the precious Holy spirit who enables me to get right and keep a stepping….walking with God.

I know when I’m walking with God because I feel like dancing right out of my clothes like David did in the bible….come on I said I feel like it…you know I didn’t do it……my knees are really bad and I can’t dance like that anymore…..I can still praise God with my lips…. I can talk to Him in the secret place…and I can live my life to be pleasing to the Lord and I can be obedient to God…..I can walk with God!!

Message for today: Before you walk with God you gotta talk with God!

Get on your spiritual Nikes, Reeboks, Adidas, whatever you wear…..get moving and……Walk with God!!!

The Scripture That Makes Me Cry

August 3, 2011

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer faultless, pure, Standing before God, stumbling. falling 5 Comments

Jude 1:24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

I love this scripture verse! I was reading this scripture one day and after meditating on it I fell into a very deep prayer time with the Lord. I cried for a long time and just couldn’t stop. Every time I thought about the Lord is able to keep me from falling and that he was going to present me faultless I started crying all over again.

I am a perfectionist by nature and the thought of being faultless one day is very exciting to me. But more than that is that the Lord is able to keep me from falling. What is meant by falling? Well let’s take an example of some folks who fell….Well the first one who comes to mind is lucifer aka the devil and some of the angels. Then it was Adam and Eve….our first human examples of falling. This means you and I started out falling because of sin. Jesus Christ who by His blood has washed us clean He is ABLE to keep us from falling into gross errors and sin that could keep us from being presented faultless. This is something to really shout about…or in my case …..Cry good tears.

Jesus has all power in heaven and on earth. He has all say so over our lives and He even gave His own life for us. He has invested a lot in me and has kept me on a path to glory with an eternal Holy God. He has and is helping me to keep from messing up….stumbling….by His grace. I see Him doing this in others and I’m so grateful. What a day it will be when He presents us with great joy before God’s presence all clean in our blood washed robes. I know the Lord’s joy will be great….but I tell you so will mine.

Did you ever buy someone a really nice gift and you just couldn’t wait to present it to them? This is how it will be…..with so much excitement and joy when we are presented to God. Remember how wretched we are in our stinking nasty sin and how we displease God and Jesus forgives us and we do it again? Well Jesus is going to complete His work in me and you and we will be presented FAULTLESS…..100% whole, healed of all sinning forever. We will be in a pure condition (holy) to be with God…we will be free from all sin forever and will have the right to stand before our Holy God. We cannot see Him this way right now because Jesus has to finish the work He started in us. He is keeping us from being tripped up.

Message for today: Are you tripping?….Then grab on to Jesus and don’t let go…. for dear life! Jesus is the ONLY one who can keep you from stumbling.

Jude 1:24-25 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

A Personal letter To My Readers

August 2, 2011

camary1996 God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Prayer Love 5 Comments

Dearest blog readers,

I want to share something from my heart today. First let me thank all who subscribe to this blog and those who are regular readers.

I love the Lord and I know I say it a lot in my blogs…..but I do……and it’s because He loves me so much. You all know I’m 59 years old and I have been through so many trials and tribulations. Every time I go through the next one and I look back and remember what God has done for me…. I get so overwhelmed by how He has always brought me through.

Even when He answers my prayers in a different way than I expect…He always gives me grace and peace. God pours His love on me every day……He is always available to me. I’m so grateful to God for sending His only Son to die for my sins. Every day is Easter for me! I am a friend of God, I’m an heir to the throne, I’m adopted into His own family, I’m a princess, I’m God’s daughter!

If today was my last day on earth ……I would tell everyone to please love the Lord with everything you are….love Him hard…..love Him completely……Love Him like you never loved anyone before……tell Him over and over again……in your heart, in your mind…..and speak it out of your mouth to Him. Please don’t judge Him by the decisions He makes for us……..we can’t possibly understand why He does what He does. Many people look at things in the Old Testament or recent catastrophes and think why. You will have answers to these question one day when you get to heaven…….so it’s good to just enjoy God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit now…..we will never have this unique time of trusting and loving God in this way because we will be changed……so now is the time to really tell Him and show Him (in our obedience) how much we love and appreciate Him.

I have this hunger and thirst inside of me for more of Him. But I don’t just want Him for myself….I want Him for other people too. This is what keeps me writing my blog in hopes someone will read the special things He has done for me and want God… Jesus Father… for themselves.

I love my my brother Jesus for what He did for me on the cross that blessed day and not only did Jesus give His own life to take my sins away, He put me right with a very Holy God, and helped me to have a good life here on earth. He bore the pain of everyone’s nasty stinking sins on Himself and had His own Father turn from Him because He could not look upon sin…….now that was LOVE!!!!!! He did it for me…and you! He loves us so much. It wasn’t easy for Him….He had to pray to His Father before it happened and asked Him if there was another way to do this…but He did it……who else could or would do something like that for us.

Mathew 22:37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This scripture is me…..it’s what I want to do all the time…….it’s what I strive for every day. Sometime I fall short because of distractions….but I pray and read the word and get right back out there and Love God up. I’m determined to endure through this difficult life and I’m determined to love God no matter what happens. I am going to profess my love for Jesus Christ openly and tell people how much I love God until I can’t……..and that will be the day I step my foot from this life and step in front of heavens gates.

I can’t wait to see God and to look into His wonderful face. I can’t wait to look directly into Jesus eyes to see at last the peace up close and personal that He has been giving me daily. I can’t wait to be with the Spirit of God forever where He doesn’t have to care for me in a protective way but to enjoy His presence on a different level. I will be able to love God fully and worship Him in a way befitting the eternal Holy God that He is.

Please…..I beg you……Love God so…..Love Him…..let Him love you back….look for His love and don’t concentrate on His chastisements or corrections…..yes it will be there ….but it’s all out of His love for me……His LOVE for you. Let this love that you have for Him motivate you in all that you do. Because He loves you so much. It makes Him very happy when you spread this love awesome love with others. Tell others about Jesus good love….and the good news.

I know my blog is a little strange today and it may seem as if I’m in la-di-da land….but I tell you we as people in a world of very difficult times will find that the Love of God will shine through like a morning sun and will brighten our day. You can’t be fearful when you are assured of God’s love for you and He knows that you love Him and have put Him first. HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU! Take the plunge and jump into His pool of love… trust that He is in the pool with His loving arms open wide and know that He will keep you afloat with all His love. Cast all your care on Him….cast yourself on Him…..He loves you so so much.

In His Service,

Tanya Nemley

P.S. Massage for today: I love Him……I love Him……I love Him so so much. Copy me! You don’t have to write a blog of your love…….but God knows your heart……so write it there.
