This captured moment is when the sea had not a ripple and peace was profound.
Romans 8:6 To be carnally-minded is death but to be Spiritually-minded is LIFE and PEACE
To be ‘spiritually-minded’ will never turn us into flaky or ‘silly’ people, He was sent by God for a specific purpose. He ever reminds us of the Cross and JESUS CHRIST as Saviour and our need to follow HIM in the WAY.
When our minds are surrendered to His Sacred Mind we know when repentance and forgiveness are necessary. He also works on us to prepare us for Eternity and our need to be holy people.
Like the glorious freedom shown by the little sailing boats that is ours in the abundant life we have inherited as Children of God.
Spiritually-minded my life focus is on the only ONE who still says when the violent storms of life batter me and circumstances Shake me up……..
Peace Be Still.
AS my frail life like the small sailing boat now seeks for the Harbour.
The worry of my carnal mind has again been soothed by certainty of His Presence,
This new week let us all determine to live the abundant life rich in beauty, Love and Peace.
Spirit of God blow over our souls …..like a refreshing wind.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
I feel the Spirit’s breeze brushing across my Soul! Hugs to you friend for blowing it my way! 😘
