Blessed are they who choose God first! We all know that God chose us first, so why can't we do the same? It is possible to choose him, it is possible to live a beautiful new life in his friendship. If you were to do nothing else in life, but choose to be in Christ, as a faith filled Christian, you are ahead of most people. I will go as far to repeat what my husband said just today, he said you are a success in Christ. It never dawned on me his thoughts and words, until I took the time to understand the true meaning of success. It is not how much financial success one has, it is more about what one chose to do in honoring and serving Christ in others. And I loved this thought, and meditated upon it all morning as we were spending time walking in the forest. We normally see tortoises, hear snakes, and look out for wild birds and deer. This morning I saw one deer as we were leaving. God illumined the trees with the rising of the sun beautifully bursting in a ray of orange like a ball hanging in the sky beyond the pine trees with its colorful rays of yellow highlighting the trees and their leaves, it was a breathtaking experience. God gives us moments that take our beadth away, and all of us are here only for a short time, we are given the gift of time, and we must ask ourselves what exactly are we doing with it? Can we be doing something better, something much more meaningful than what we are? Of course, nine times out of ten, the answer is yes! We could always be doing something more, something better, but what? That is tonights homework. I will give to you to figure out. We often need to be challenged to be living more meaningful productive lives. We just can't waste the precious time we are given. So I hope to inspire you to do something new and different and remain true to that newly inspired idea. Do it for Christ. Do it to bear much fruit for his kingdom. Try tapping into your deepest inner core, and search deep within and see where this leads you. Start with prayer. Listen to God speak to your heart. He will inspire you greatly... And once the inspiration starts to flow, you will know exactly what it is you were meant to be doing. When I had started this podcast, I realized, all my life I have been a writer. I love to write journals, I have written some really beautiful poetry, and I have combined the two I believe into this unique and wonderful podcast that has a beautiful group of followers from all over the world being captivated by Christ living in my being. My soul magnifies the Lord, and yours will too, but the desire of your heart must be in it. I desire to be in Christ. And He lives in me. He has freed me from my sins, and has healed me completely, and I live a new life in his friendship, and everyday I live in Him, I see myself prospering! I would imagine God wants all of his children to prosper. It's when we do, we see Him at the core of everything that is full of wonder and beauty, and then we see ourselves being so small looking up to the God who loves every single one of us! He is larger than life, and He comes back into our lives to save us, and He teaches us how to live, how to love, and how to serve. He has at times left me speechless, because he quiets and calms our very souls when we least expect it. To be silent in Him is a powerful experience. It lets you know Christ is doing a marvelous work in those who have surrendered. And we allow God to do His best work ever because landscapes are not his only best creation. I believe you and I are. So, let's be more aware of God being present in his people, and let us respectfully endure as Christians in the very light and love of Christ.
