Just Follow the Word

I typically do not post today but I can't help it! Excited about the message of the Lost Coin!! Did you know God pursues sinners!! That would mean that God pursues ME!! and "you" if you can identify with being a sinner in need of Gods grace. Maybe you are just in the spot of needing something and you don't know what it is. Could that need be something that only Jesus can fill? Picture losing something very very important to you.....Got it? What does that look like? What have you lost lately that made you go nuts, sweeping every corner of the house, over turning every nook and cranny to find it. For me it is was my purse. It has everything I need from my date book to my wallet to grocery lists.... What do you do when you find it? Do you call your friends and neighbors and rejoice? Well....Heaven rejoices every time a sinner is saved Even though God doesn't need us He pursues us relentlessly by His grace. I need my purse to do the things I do in this...

Matthew 26:36-46 Have you every read a passage and missed some tiny part, or large part? There are so many times that I read a familiar passage and blaze right through it.

Yes you guessed it I missed or maybe even had some "wrong" thinking on Jesus in Gethsemane. Maybe it was wrong thinking or maybe God wanted to reveal it to me now and not when I was 15, 20 or 30, I am not sure but it doesn't matter when or why for today. Here is the question? ...

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! So...I am cleaning my shower today and I get inside to clean the inside (hhmmm...something like Jesus does with us...He gets inside to clean the inside of the cup AND he takes up residence too! :)) well anyways, I close the door to the shower so I can wipe the inside down. I keep talking while I am doing the wiping simply because I am watching a little girl today and I wanted her to know that I was there and I didn't leave her. She could hear my voice and as she listened and wondered where I was, she kept crawling closer to where the voice was coming from. Yes, you guessed it I started thinking about my life with my Father in heaven! I think ALOT!! If I was this little baby I would have cried the second the door closed! Sure I can hear a voice but I want a person that I can see! This little bundle of blessing crawled to the door and talked and giggled while I finished my job talking ...
