The wheat and the tares
I think I figured out why some who call themselves Christians have no interest in a love relationship with Jesus. There are wheat and there are tares in the house of God. Jesus said so, so that is true. Wheat wants to know Christ intimately, have a close relationship with Him. Tares want to do "good works" and are only interested in outer works, not the condition of their hearts; not in an intimate relationship with Jesus. We don't know who's who, because only God knows for sure. However, I think I've discovered how to get a clue as to who is who! When I talk in a group of women and mention intimacy with Christ, some start nervously flipping through their Bibles looking for all the verses on serving. They want to justify that their way is best because knowing, obeying, and following Christ as He wants (not how they want) is not what they're after. Of course as Christians we are to serve God and serve others. But ideally, that is the outer manifestatio...
Blooming season
Spring has sprung and it is gorgeous. We've been in our current neighborhood for seven years. There are two trees down the street that bloomed with gorgeous white flowering blooms the year we moved in. Since then, when I go for a walk around the neighborhood, I have looked for the same trees to bloom every spring. They haven't. Until this year. And they are as beautiful as the first time I saw them bloom seven years ago. But I waited seven years to see them bloom again! The other similar trees bloom faithfully every spring. But for some reason, these two side-by-side trees only bloom every seven years. It got me thinking. There are dormant stages in our spiritual life, too. We don't always see the "bloom" in our own lives. We give our all, obey the Lord best we can, wait on Him, step out in faith, and still no "flowers." What is happening during those dormant years? I have no idea, really. But I do know that God makes every tree for ...
Let God do something new through you
Social media. It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. God can and does use it as a blessing in our lives. But we know that it has also become a source of distraction and isolation for our society, too. When we scroll through others' lives (at least only the parts they allow us to see), and we want to accomplish great things that God has put in our hearts, the temptation is to try and look like or do what others are doing in the same way. Only problem with that is that God is the ultimate Creator. He is full of new, creative ways and ideas for each of us. Do we dare be different? Do we dare step out of the box? If God tells us to, then yes! To be open to God's plans for us we need to: 1. Trust Him wholeheartedly. 2. Believe He knows what He is doing 3. Partner with Him in all we do 4. Expect ridicule and naysayers because "it's never been done like that before" 5. Listen to Him daily 6. Step out in faith to whatever He tells us to do 7. Not care what...
How to get out of the pit!
One day, when feeling down in the dumps, the Lord showed me the way out of my pit by giving me a very practical list. I am sharing it with you here in case you need help out of your pit! 1. Sup with Me. Spend quality time with with Me. 2. Trust Me! Believe Me again. 3. Stop looking around you and look within instead. All of the answers are there within you because I live within you. 4. Time spent with Me changes your mindset and you realize that you are welcome at My table of plenty. 5. No one and nothing is holding you back except for your skewed mindset. You can think new thoughts and not project the past onto the future! 6. NO FEAR! 7. Know that your circumstances, and how others mistreat you, cannot hold you back or stop My plan for your life. 8. Speak up and speak out with My Spirit guiding you. 9. Cease striving after validation and being understood, for your worth comes from Me. 10. You can't put old wine into new wineskins where I ...
