Jesus gave me Hope.

Over this weekend I just meditated on the cross of Jesus.  It has consumed my thoughts!!! 

Have you ever feel so overwhelmed that Jesus took your place, your punishment and all of your sins?    

  Jesus gave hope to my life. He made me hole at the cross.  He took my place and show me His unfailing grace when he died for me.  Age to age Jesus mercies shine through all existence!  How in the world we have such a MERCIFUL GOD!??

 This world doesn't even deserve a Creator like our God and the heavens just proclaim to us the own glory and majesty of our Redeemer. 

 Only by genuine repentance, humility and accepting the Son of God we have the promise of spending eternity with the Trinity.    God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

 This earth is not our home, we are just passing by.  Days may seem longer, but for God they are just like a few hours.   One day we will stand before His throne and we will be judge.  

  One of my latest prayer request is us-  Humans.... I have desired & cried out that all of His creation submit their mind, will & emotions to Jesus Christ and by faith accept Jesus as their Savior.  

If only people knew that God meant to do great works through them. If only people knew that they DON'T have to impress no one,God is already  impress by their existence.  If only people knew they didn't choose God. God chose them.  If only their pride were not in the top of their list.
If only we Christians protect with a pure jealousy ..God's reputation.

According to I Corinthians  6:11   All people of the earth were washed, were sanctified, were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus by the Spirit of our God. 

                WE ARE SO RICHLY BLESSED!!!

I have been meditating in Daniel chapter 4, verses 34-37 & I love how king Nebuchadnezzar  after all of his failures,  finally humbled himself  and exalted  the Most High God. 

  I like to put my name on verses 34 & 37.  There is something sweet when a person takes the time to lift up his eyes to heaven and bless, praise and honor the King of Glory.

<sup>Daniel 4-

34</sup>And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
 ³⁵And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
 ³⁶At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
 ³⁷Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase."

Meditating in James.

Yesterday I was able to see one of my Sisters in Christ.  I was so encouraged to see Erin.  We spoke, we prayed and we shared the insights we have been getting from scripture. It was unforgettable to see so many precious people on Thursday evening.  This just reminds me that even when I am far away from my precious friends, we know that prayer holds our friendship.

 I have enjoyed reading the epistle of James.

James 1
 ¹²Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James 4
 ⁶But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
 ⁷Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
 ⁸Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
 ⁹Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
 ¹⁰Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

 James 5
 ⁷Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
 ⁸Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
