Hitch a ride?! Please?...would ya?

Hey y'all, I didn't forget to write yesterday I couldn't get my phone's keyboard to come up....

Anyway, was so running late yesterday, it made me stop (even though I was just standing at the bus stop!) and think about all the drivers who had an empty seat and were probably going into town. Wouldn't it be good if we got to the level of trust in a stranger that it was the done thing to offer them a lift....I mean if they're going that way anyway, it wouldn't be a problem.



 Okay so I know there's all sorts of complications why we don't, but it would be groovy. Then again when I think about it, I've seen friends who won't give their own friends a lift! Maybe it comes back to the fact that we're all too busy in our own lives to reach out to someone else....I don't know, I'm not saying that all drivers with empty cars should take in hitchhikers, but it's a shame that we're not more in tune to one another....like, "Darn it I'm gonna be late if this bus don't hurry up...ooh there's Bob in his mini!" Bob's like, "Hey Millie, need a lift into town? Jump in!"

Maybe it's our community where we live; is it that are too big or are we just not social enough? I know I'm not social enough, the last time I spoke to my neighbour was.....umm....'nough said.But I'd like to think that if I needed any sugar that I could freely go round. Would I go round if it was toilet paper, I needed? Not sure, but it poses the question; is it just pride? Why do I think that much of myself that it stops me from getting what I need?

Oh God, get me out of the habit,
of pride when I don't need it,
instead fill me with love,
that will tend to my soul,
even if it hurts and is out
of my comfort zone.

Hell....sobering thought!

Just seen Les Miserables` and loved it, but there was a point at the end of the film that made me think about death...duh! Well it was more about Hell...and that we will all die one day, and right now souls are feeling the torments of an eternity without knowing God and Jesus.

 It was a sobering thought, and made me want to tell more people about the love of God, and dispel lies the enemy has told, so that they know they don't have to go to Hell or eternal punishment....God has forgiven them.


I've heard people tell me that if God has forgiven them for their wrongs, that's great! They should be fine to walk into heaven and be with Him. Some are quick to say that they haven't done any wrong...some say they don't believe in God and basically don't care.
 There was once a time in my life when I found that if I was doing wrong my conscious would tell me so. (Mainly when I was being disobedient behind my dad's back....was never blatant to his face...). Even earlier than that, taking biscuits out of the cupboard that I hadn't asked for. Using my uncle's girlfriend's perfume from their bathroom whilst she babysat us.

 And that just a few....maybe what I'm trying to say is a few ground rules were instilled in me as a child; not to take things that weren't mine, to obey my dad's guidelines even when he was not there and to ask if I wanted something to eat. These rules helped to shape me as an individual. Obviously, there were more....and they differed as I spent time under other people's roofs, but as a whole they were there for me to grow well, and share to the world peacefully with others. 

OK maybe I'm rambling....to get back, I'll say that back in the day, humans used to 'walk with God'. They could walk and talk with Him 'in the cool of the day'. But God to kick them out of His presence. He had given them a simple guideline and they disobeyed, God was displeased that they'd chosen to obey a liar, instead of obeying and trusting Him. This disobedience stained the generations and man and women grew worst in their rebellion. Deciding that they no longer needed God, as they had the knowledge and love from one another, they made themselves gods, from the work of their hands. 

Today, God has made a way for us to know Him again....Jesus. 

It is written, "God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whoever believe in Him will not die, but have eternal life. For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16

Like any wise parent, if the rules or boundaries were broken or crossed, there'd be a punishment for it. Well similiar to that for our disobedience we are automatically going to hell or are due to be punished for ur crimes against God...He's the judge, we broke His rules! If you wanna know what His rules are check out the Ten Commandments...one of them being to Love the Lord Your God. But instead of punishing us, because He loves us, He punished His Son on the cross all them years ago. And He had the power to bring Him back alive again....Easter story (no, not bunny rabbits and chocolate).
Gosh, there's so much more....

God longs for you, the Word say that He's not willing for any to die, but that all come to repentance (to change your mind) Which brings me onto claiming eternal life.....we have a raffle ticket to show that we may claim the prize, should we win it.
 Well, Can we enter into heaven without Jesus? 
It's gonna be no good if we try to claim the prize by saying we saw the ticket but didn't pick it up. Or I know someone who has a ticket. Or even, oh I had a ticket one day, but I've lost it. We need our own ticket to claim our prize.
Jesus is our ticket into heaven.

  • "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgement, but has passed from death into life." (Jesus) John 5:24  
 The Lord's Prayer
"Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory 
Forever. Amen." (Jesus) Matthew 6:9-14
God bless ya...I could go into more, there's so much more! I wanna encourage you to ask questions, hey I don't know all the answers, but there maybe someone who does. 
Email or comment if you want....

Little by little....step by step...

Walking through the snow was so tough today! Felt like I wasn't getting anywhere, no matter how hard I worked at it. But the good news is that I made it to the bus and finally home!

 

 

 It made me think about life and how sometimes to get to our goals it's a hard slog. We are working our hardest to get there, but no matter how much energy we put into it, we seem to be getting nowhere.


The only thing, during the walking, that made me aware of any progress were the things around me...the fences, the traffic lights, the people. They were all evidence to my brain that I was indeed moving forward. So how do we know we're moving forward in life?
 It's the things around you....what's surrounding you that wasn't there before? Who's with you? Can they see any change?

 Good if you can learn from what others see, but lately I'm learning that writing things down helps as a landmark...whether it's in a diary, in your phone as a note or text to yourself, or maybe what I've tried, a letter to God...it really helped see where I was. Months later, I found that I no longer felt that way and had progressed into a new way of thinking, also God had answered my prayers!


Keep making those steps, no matter how small....I don't know what your goals are, but we tend to have a generic few...eating healthier, doing your essays earlier, brushing your teeth more often (ok, maybe that's just me!)...lol....

He's all I NEED....

I love the Lord

special is He

He's taken my shame,

and set me free.


I have no boast

'cept what He's done

there is no struggle

my heart is won.

 

It's taken time

and I'm not complete

but He is faithful

He's all I need.

;)

Ex- masturbator......P4CM.....

Been watching Passion 4 Christ Movement poetry on Youtube...awesome!  But it lead me to a post about a girl who struggled with masturbation before and after she knew Christ....and Christ has set her free (below). It reminded me that I used to struggle with the same thing....and Jesus delivered me! *huuh*


That was surprisingly hard to say, even in text....even though I've told people the things that I've done, I've never really shared this so openly...not really sure why on here, mainly because I sense the Lord wants me to be open and honest with my struggles, that He has delivered me.....Glory to God. I couldn't write about crap....was gonna be about dancing, but it no longer was important.


If you want to know more email me, or something....it was something that starting from something I experienced as a teenager and it gave me a lust for more (how embarassing to admit that, but if it helps you...I'm glad).
Jesus is a healer and He restores my soul.

Here's a spontaneous poem...

God Your arms are stretched wide, 
but I'm prone to hide
 in the dark not the light,
 it's this skin that I'm in
 that likes to absorb the sin.

I need a purge from Your word,
 reminds me of my new birth
walking in Your spirit, it's life not curse
new purpose, new worth...
not my works, but Your blood
open grave, because You could.

Oh my Saviour, my Love,
 I'm coming above,
but not before it's time,
 whose path will cross mine?

God bless....
