Love

Love brings so much warmth to my heart, it makes me glow inside. I have so many things I could talk about on this subject but since I don't have a lot of time right now, all I can say is thank you Lord for your Love and because of Your love - I have learned to love others so much! Thank you Jesus!

Lift me up

Ever feel like you are just going through the motions of this life? We all do at some point. I have to admit I have been in this rut lately but I still seek and pray. When I do, I am always directed to get back into God's word. Whether I "feel" like it or not. Being in the Word I am always reminded of the joy and love I feel when I remain close with God. I remember where my inspiration for writing comes from and remain hopeful for brighter days like those that I often wrote about. It is also then that I remember that no matter what He is always there and will never leave me.

The Bible, church,family, fellowship with others, and prayer are like that of the Fire ladder you see here. They offer the strength to lift you up when you can't on your own. Like my last post - I am reminded to always seek or find the light, for if I don't my eyes, mind, and heart will remain idle. I admit that I had to remind myself again today that no, I cannot do this on my own. My savior is the one who saves, and I need to remember He is the one I rely on - not myself. 

I was reading a fellow blogger's post today that lifted my spirits back up and encouraged me - I am so grateful for being able to follow and read other people's experiences in their walk whether that be on their blog, through devotionals, or even Facebook. A lot of times this is the only way I feel comfortable to communicate with others during times like this. This big world can make you feel so alone when you choose to just go through the motions and find yourself eventually falling out of seeking the Lord. I am thankful for being lifted up - especially when I need it most.

What am I Searching For?

So I came across an interesting conclusion yesterday. All my life I have been searching and seeking to find out who I am - but I need to be searching and seeking to find out who our Lord Jesus Christ is.

When I am quiet and allow the Spirit to move while seeking answers to my questions - my conversations with the Lord are so bountiful. I can't forget the power His words have to me and I love this gift He gave us so that we could have personal counsel with Him here on this earth.

About a year ago the Holy Spirit confirmed to me a that I have the map (the Bible) and now I need to find the light. Just when I have grown in Christ, I find I have so much more to learn which inspires me to continue seeking Him. That is the awesome thing about our Lord! He is so wondrous and fills my spirit just at the time I need it most! I look forward to each and every moment He answers.

To find light, I know this means seeking out the Light of the World - Jesus. God gave His son as a sacrifice for me and I am still learning more and more every day what this means and all I need to do is to continue seeking Him through prayer, His word, and through fellow believers to allow Him to work in my life so that I may partake of this wonderful gift. I have a long way to go but God has a plan for me in His timing. Each one of us are unique and different and so are all our plans God has for us. Isn't this pretty neat to think about?
