PASSIONATE CREATIVE CHRISTIAN

I believe in BEAUTY

I believe in HOPE

I believe DIVINE LOVE is ETERNAL

ALL God’s Glory and Beauty can come from within when He delights to dwell there.

His Conversation is sweet. His Comforts refreshing.

HIS PEACE PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING.

Thomas a Kempis

I BELIEVE IN MY SAVIOUR WHO IS GOD.

My key came for abundant life when I was assured By Pentecost that Christ in me brought the power of God indwelling to Guide and be with me into eternity.

Is God saddened when His Children choose to add to its simplicity or disobey His Handbook Guidelines for living?

Centuries ago, the pain experienced by Paul is expressed in a letter to the Galatian Church. Paul returned for a visit and discovered they had departed from his teaching and were back absorbing surrounding culture and ‘fitting in’ with others..

N.K.J. Gals, 4:19.

My little children for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you.

Paul likened his pain to the suffering experienced in childbirth.

(Does our GOD see and experience in 2021 the same pain as absorbing of culture in many churches continues to take away from the Message of the Cross for all humankind? }

Romans 8,29 expresses why the resurrection of Christ and then the coming of God the Holy Spirit should radically change ALL ‘Born Again’ Believers. We must know we are born again! Died to self.

For whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the Image of His Son that He might be the first-born among many brethren.

We must be ‘re-born’ into His Spiritual Kingdom …………..follow Christ crucified to self…re-born -resurrection.

THIS EARTH IS NOT OUR HOME.

As re-born children we must accept and KNOW that surrender to God the Holy Spirit allows the Divine Sanctifier to constantly inform and change us………All the days of our lives.

We do not need to DO anything or work on any program, This is GRACE, Divine Surrender to Our Great God of TRINITY..

Thank you Lord for this our 1st day on Hamilton Island, With hearts of gratitude we welcome the dawn.

Thank You Father for a new day and for all the blessings of this Holiday.

Good Morning to all of you who have visited us in this Place.

Thank God for another glorious dawn and for all the memories of this time away.

We prepare to journey home today with hearts filled with thanksgiving and praise.

We found a tangible reminder of our visitors and brought Pete home with us,

He is nothing like our real multiplied and beautiful visitors but in his own unique way has given laughter and blessing. Notice here I fall off my chair, Mirthful instability.!

MAY MULTIPLICATION OF THANKSGIVING, beauty and JOY enrich your day.

In Jesus’ Holy Name,

A-Men!.

This U-Tube Song is inspirational, powerful and truthful.

Sometimes it takes a mountain.

Sometimes a troubled sea.

Sometimes it takes a desert, to get a hold of me.

YOUR LOVE is so much stronger than whatever faces me.

Saviour Lord, I need to TRUST YOU and BELIEVE.

What about the small daily irritations that rush in and overbalance us? 

•  The washing machine floods the floor and the broken pipe 
•  with a wrenching groan smashes the floor tiles.   The phone rings.   Your small son comes in. ‘Mummy I need to go toilet NOW’. 

The time it takes to switch off the tap means the phone has stopped and Jimmy misses the toilet bowl by only a couple of inches, but the toilet will need to be thoroughly cleansed not just the seat but all over the outside and inside of the bowl.

Husband walks in and makes the quiet confident statement. ‘It looks very wet in here, love. Perhaps there is a leak somewhere.’         Maybe laughter later.

        But think on this…….

•   Nasty words!
•    Being misunderstood.
•     Challenged in our faith or beliefs in an argumentative manner.

Irritations come in many shapes and forms maybe magnified in our thinking.

Can ALL of life’s Minor sins, irritations and mistakes be redeemed?

I believe they can. SURRENDER it ALL to HIM and leave it at the CROSS.

Remember it takes only a small irritation to create a pearl inside an oyster shell!  Keep that thought in mind

  Lord help us to surrender our minor irritations as well as facing all the bigger mountains and troubled seas of life. Give us the same courage and faith to believe that You can make inside us as YOU work on sanctification through Your Holy Spirit pearls fit for the KINGDOM OF God in the image of Christ the Pearl of Great Price. 

          Matthew 13:45-46 Parable of the Pearl  

Christ’s illustration on the great value of THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

He loves us and in His EYES our value is incalculable.

LIVE!

SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD – BREATHE AFRESH ON ALL OF US TODAY.

Mould us, Make us all we need to be –

Focus us on JESUS so we may clearly SEE,

HIS LORDSHIP………….LOVE……….LIFE …….and pathway to His Eternity.

From the deepest depth of our world’s Oceans comes a life lesson for us in today’s world.

I first heard about this strange creature on a Christian devotional and set out to learn more.

I hope you too may get a gentle inspiration.

This deep sea squid has two vastly different eyes.

The larger eye has wider vision. It’s other eye is smaller and only process information from its limited perception. This smaller and dimmer eye processes only necessary information;

The larger eye with the far greater Vision is always focussed on the LIGHT above. From that light it processes everything necessary for survival.

We are not equipped with awkward unbalanced vision.

We are given the opportunity to discipline ourselves to read the Handbook for life the WORD and be encouraged to live meaningfully;

We have eyes to look at swirling society around us and process the necessary,

But, we have also have God the Holy Spirit Who will ever focuses our eyes heavenwards on THE HOLY LIGHT of CHRIST.

Something to think about. Unlike our sea creature the squid we have great freedom of choice on where we focus both our eyes, Light or Darkness

Blessings!.
