Dear brothers and sisters,

Again, another long pause. But, today regardless of what my body is doing I must take the time to focus on what is True.

Come on. I know you have asked the question, "Why me Lord?" Did you get an answer? Because the Lord never changes, He is always faithful and true to His Word, all my answers come between Genesis and Revelation. Too much to consider?

Has the world offered you a better plan? I mean, eternity was put in our hearts by God Himself. Can you think of a better person to commune with, run to, hide in than the One Who made you?

I am on the lookout for Jesus. The things of this world are fading. I don't blame it all on my old eyes! Things are happening so fast globally now. The evil is really showing off. But, remember it is only for a short time. So, go ahead and ask God "Why?" He is big enough to handle it all. 

Trials come and seem to overlapping in my own life anymore. I just keep putting on the armor of God each day. Ephesians 6. I keep my loved ones before the Throne of God. My prayers for them is that they will stand unashamed when Christ is revealed. I pray for wise and understanding hearts. That they be aware and ready when the enemy comes with his lousy lies. 

Everything we need is found in Jesus Christ. If you doubt He is the Son of God and choose to go your separate way from His Love...well, then you will hear Him say, "Depart from me. I never knew you. "What a tragic seven words!

Today, while there is still time, will you call on Him and be saved? Anyone, that means anyone...who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Who are you calling on? Your best friend? Social media? A personal addiction? A private idol of worship? If you can ask, "Why me Lord?" then, who is your Lord?

1 Peter 2:24 says, "He personally bore our sins in His [own] body on the tree [as an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed."

This is all wounds. The wounds caused by our sin, the physical wounds, emotional wounds and even the spiritual wounds caused by the enemies influence in your life. At least that is what I have come to believe. Jesus Is Healer of all!

I am leaning on the Lord more and more through all my troubles. I am running to Him for every little need and have dropped the heavy pac on my back at His feet. Then, the heaviness goes. My head is turned to heaven and the promises Jesus made in John 14. 

The path before each of us most likely won't be paved in gold and strewn with flower petals. You may not be able to skip and dance as your heart desires. There may be thunderclouds blocking your sunshine happiness. You may have a difficult time singing in the rain. It may look like the light at the end of the tunnel goes on and on for miles, too far to walk. You feel thirsty all the time for water that refreshes that doesn't come from a bottle. 

I guess what I am trying to say is I am no longer asking questions of the world. I don't need opinions of man. I consider the riches of this world pretty beat up and faded. Colors aren't as bright as when I spend time in the Word of God. His Love Letter is living! Father knows best and I will trust Him. 

So, that's my story, what's yours? Remember, no excuses stand before God. Just come in the naked truth of who and what you are. A sinner. Humble yourself. 

Several places as I have written today I have thought of scripture to back it up. I didn't do that because you need to find it for yourself. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, His Spirit will teach you.Only turn to Him for any and all reasons. He loves you so.

I will try to write as I am able. Only to encourage you, not to do a work in you...that is up to God. But, I will pray for you as you walk in your own story. Let Him write truth on your heart today. And, please trust His promise from 2 Timothy 1:7... "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind." In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Abundance is...finding His answers
