Thursday, May 5th, 2016"The History, Of The World..."
I was listening to a song, and something seemed to grab hold on me...
"There’s got to be more
Than going back and forth
From doing right to doing wrong
‘Cause we were taught that’s who we are..."
This is a contemporary Christian song, yet that didn't seem to make sense to me.
History is deemed to repeat itself, but why, when, and how?
Do we know that history?
============================
The history of the world, reflects many of the same defining events.
- Our quick decline into sinfulness, thus leading to when we try to put away Christ, and any morality.
"And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands."
(- Jeremiah 1:16)
- Warnings come, by mouth of prophets, teachers, and upon the very occurrences in our atmosphere, and daily life.
"Then the Lord put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth."
(- Jeremiah 1:9)
- We do not take these warnings, and instead push our ideals, and only saving hope away in disgust.
"Then said they, Come and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words."
(- Jeremiah 18:18)
- Our destruction comes, quite sudden, and saddening, for we allowed it to come on ourselves.
“As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.”
(- Jeremiah 51:49)
- We start again, this time with Christ!
“And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.”
(- Galatians 6:16)
And soon, the cycle comes around again, with a new, sinful lust of the flesh...
===========================
Going back to the above lyrics --
What was so unnerving about those few words, seemingly harmless rhymes?
The slow decline of humanity, through history, has been proven to be the power, and lust of greed that consumes us - "the love of money is the root of all evil..."
(- 1 Timothy 6:10)
In this pursuit of power, the number one excuse we use to justify our actions, is that we are not responsible.
We are made human, so therefore it is not our fault as to what action we pursue.
"We were told that's who we are..."
Our actions do define who we are.
Actions do not cause us to be, but rather, we cause our actions to be.
If you love God, you will follow Him.
If you follow God, you will love others.
If you love others, you will give of yourself to be of use.
And, isn't that the first two commandments that hang all the law, and the prophets?
(- Matthew 22:36-40)
We still have hope.
The one thing I've learnt about following Christ, is that even when we feel completely lost, He still has the flashlight!
All we have to do, is turn to Him, and while still the world may crumble beneath us, His hand will be there to catch us!
Let God guide, and let's change the world!
Make history, as to say! (;
Just look to Christ!
Jesus loves you!!
For Jesus first loved me... <3

============================
Haha, y'all are such a blessing!
Never stop doing, what you need to do!
True, sometimes life gets bothersome, and we just want to give up.
But life isn't defined by the hard, disgusting moments - life is defined by what we do within those moments!
Don't let the hard times make you give up, instead, in those hard times draw near to God!
He will never leave you!
We all make mistakes, and God always forgives -- don't get caught up in regret.
After the Lord forgives, you have to forgive yourself as well!
Christ loves you!! <3
** 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. **
Prayers, and blessings on you!
Stay true!

Thursday, April 28th, 2016"A Small Relief, For A Varied Life..."
Daily life seems to have become our daily, stressful, over thought out version of a never ending to do list...
*sigh*
Yeah, I done worried myself already... Too many words...
** Matthew 6:27 **
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Haha, but really - what have our lives become?
Today, I was completely confused on what to write for this devotion.
So, I did the logical thing - take a walk, to pray, and seek God's leading!
However, I was so consumed with mine own worries, fears, and stress inducing issues, that I almost stepped right onto a little caterpillar, passed out from the sun.
(Before anyone asks, yes, I love little creatures, including caterpillars... :P)
Well, I stare down at it for a while, for it doesn't seem to be moving...
I decide, to walk away...
I keep walking, without any ideas on the devotion... Until, I come across that caterpillar once again, lying quite helpless in the burning sun...
So, I do the unlogical, yet kind thing.
(Save the caterpillar!)
If little kids would've been reading, they would already have been yelling to save the creature! :P
So, I do.
It takes a moment to get him up, and set him on a limb.
To be honest, I'm not sure if he will make it anyway, cause he had been there for a while.
Then...
It hit me!
My devotion -- my illustration -- was right there!?
(And, ironic enough - can you guess where I put that lil' caterpillar? Right on that cross, nailed to that tree...
Bring it all to the cross, and worry not about the rest!)
I think the problem we all face in this modern world, is that we put our own issues in front of our eyes, determining to fix it!
Yet, we never look over, past our own distractions, to do that which needs to be done -- loving one another!
God didn't put you here to solve your math equation (sorry, algebra!) But, God put you here to follow His will!
We don't always get the answers right when we want them, but we do get them right on time!!
Perhaps, the daily relief we seek from our life, is based upon doing that which God wants us to do, first and foremost, and sometimes that's looking down, to see that person in need before our eyes!
Sometimes, we have to forget ourselves, and daily anxieties, and rather, take a limb, scoop up that lil' creature in need, and let them know they aren't alone!
True, that person may never find what they really need, 'cause maybe they are too far gone...
But, who are we to give that notice?
Maybe, they just need a chance -- whether it's lending a moment of time to talk, or a second to smile, or just, a short while to know -- God has you where you are for a purpose, but only you can decide to look past the daily frets, and see the daily relief God places before you!!
(No, different caterpillar, but yes, a photo I took! ;))
(And yes, I do often save little creatures... Laughter is allowed... :P)
** More Verses On Helping Others... **
Sometimes, relief is just finding those small gifts God gives you everyday - even the gift to help someone in need!
Find the tree limb!
Jesus loves you!!
For Jesus first loved me... <3

Ooh, you have such a good point there, Kristin!I have had issues with talking with people online before, because of a simple misunderstanding with how they wrote out something.
And, writers are usually good at writing out exactly what they are thinking, (sometimes not so much,) but people who don't actually like writing, well, they are usually even harder to understand...
But, you have a tremendous point there!
I don't like videos, so I never tried Skype before, but I may soon enough. :P
Monday, April 25th - 1 A.M.(Whaaaa? I'm actually on time?? I'm shocked... Hehe ... :P Stayed up late to finish this one!!)
Hey y'all!

Guess what!?
I had a spark of creativity, and - have a really awesome idea!
I've heard that some people don't read these messages, because perhaps they are too long, yes?
I have an organization system!
I created photos, to match each topic so you can easily find what part of these messages you want!!
Bwahahaha!!
Okay, sorry, excited moment... ;P

You're so amazing!! :D
Sometimes, our lives get a little hectic, and we are left to wonder what in the world we are going to do...
But, maybe it's not that we have to know what to do - but maybe, we just need to talk to the One who does!
Life will throw us a lot of curve balls, but knowing we have the God of the heavens watching over makes everything a little less worrisome!
Find Christ within the daily noise!
I know sometimes you don't feel like you have the answer God gave you, however, could it just mean we have to take a moment, clear the noise, and spend some time just praising Christ!
Christ has the answers!!
** Romans 8:11 **
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
You guys each have a purpose, because you each have been made so special by the Saviour!
Prayers and care!!
Jesus loves you!! <3
Do you know Jesus?

Thursday, April 21st, 2016"Sin - Life's Heartache..."
You know that time in Kindergarten you were set down in that cold, wooden chair facing the wall?
Yeah, the lady, fanning a ruler around, put you there...
That glue stick looked so delicious, even after that same red-haired teacher warned you not to try it.
But hey, it was worth a taste!
Sadly, however, you realized after that first mighty large lick of synthesized chemicals, it wasn't as good as that pretty paper around it beamed...
"Eh," you sigh... At least, it was worth a try... Or, should you say, 'worth a lick?'
Back then, good and bad seemed to have a way to make itself known, even when the paper was deliciously wrapped...
However, as time went by...
Choices became harder, life became blurry, and the mind - all the more, achy!
So overwhelmed, cause now, sin is even harder to define...
Such a heartache!
** John 8:34 **
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
If you have blood coursing through your veins, then I'm sure you probably realize that as you get older, the more choices you will have to face.
When you were little, you had a choice to get a red, or blue juice box...
Now, you have the choice to dye your hair red, or blue...
(I hope you'll choose neither! :P)
Either way, you have been faced with some decisions.
Some, I'm sure, harder than others.
And, along with those decisions, you have seen there are always results from those decisions...
What is sin?
- James 4:17 -
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not, to him it is sin.
In this present world, things try to convince us that there is no right, nor is there a wrong...
Gee, if evolution was true - there wouldn't be - just live anyway we please - is the answer we seek!
Fortunately, however, God granted us the knowledge, the conscience, to discern between the right, narrow path, and the wrong, yet wide path we have been set in front of!
When Jesus came to die on the cross, He didn't come that we might forsake Him, His rules, or the right way!
He came to give us grace, and that even though we may be sinners, always falling on our faces, we could get back up and strive to maintain that Christian, pure life He wants for us!
There is no doubt that we will always trip up...
That paper on the glue stick is sometimes so tempting, it keeps us from following our Saviour's orders!
But, even though we fall, doesn't mean we should stay down!
Get back up, and try again!
The beauty of life, is not the bright ribbons tied around birthday gifts, or the exquisite jewelry given one to another - no!
The beauty of life, is in a King, so elegantly above all, seeing us, in our deep despair, and coming down, to experience pain we should never bear, to know us personally!
Sin is the devil's snare, laid so deviously on that path wherein you stand.
Will you see the metal shining from the Son's light?
Or, rather, will you go on, shoelaces untied, right into the sharp, jagged teeth ready to cast you to the ground in mockery?
In this life, you are either a servant to sin, or a servant to Christ!
Which will it be?
Being a Christian is not a burden, but a gift of freedom, from the misery, and trouble sin brings!
Sin is our pain, distress, and anguish we must all face, but with Jesus, we will not face the temptation of sin alone!
If we ask, Christ will lead us through!
God is there, and all you have to do is to look up - He has a plan - just SEE (believe)!
Jesus loves you!
For Jesus first loved me... <3
