people fail. i fail. i lose. i sulk cry confused sin break fall despair give up lose hope.

ouch!

Jesus is beaten, rejected, hated, shouted, jeered, tortured, whipped, humiliated, struck, chased, humbled, and sacrificed. But Jesus wins. He won the right for humanity to be winners.

Because Jesus knew that in the end the victory over Satan is His, nothing stopped Him.
He chose not to stop believing in what He came for.

.

But i chose to WANT to be the winner. i wanted to be free from the devil. I believed in What Jesus promised even in this suffering.

i sulk cry confused sin break fall despair give up lose hope.

ouch! narrow is the path to heaven and wide is the gate to destruction. Jesus chose to put Himself in God.

Jesus was beaten, rejected, hated, shouted, jeered, tortured, whipped,
humiliated, struck, chased, humbled, and sacrificed.

How bout me?

I didnt have to do anything..its all already done when Jesus died and rose again. i just had to commit my all totally faithfully as the Holy Spirit enables me. it aint perfect but i am glad i made the choice to do so. its definitely better when i first started. :) win win win in small ways little ways many ways.

How about you? For every moment every part of your life?

Have you ever doubted the calling of God upon your life?
I have...

Sometimes, it seems so hard to believe that God has a great purpose for my
life.
Maybe it's easier to believe that others have that great call and purpose.
But not me.
How many times have I sat alone, wondering if what was in my heart was ever
really the call of God...
How many times have I sat in a corner, wondering if God's given up on me...
How many times have I felt like I have today...

When it seems easier to believe what's in my hands rather than what's in my
heart...
When it seem easier to believe that what I'm dreaming are all but just
dreams...
When it's easier to wonder, if all I am is just a dreamer...

Romans 11:29
For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable. [He never withdraws them
when once they are given, and He does not change His mind about those to
whom He gives His grace or to whom He sends His call.]
Grace is given with His gifts and His calling...

Before you can inspire
You have to first be inspired

Before you can love
You have to first be loved

Before you have the power
You have to first be empowered

Before you have a purpose
You have to first be given a purpose

Before you can give
You have to first be given

Matthew 6:33-34
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own
trouble.

Before His gifts and calls manifest and adds into our lives, we first seek
the kingdom of God and His righteousness...

Meaning?

We worry NOT about how to reach the dreams in our hearts.
We worry NOT about being the person we long to be.
We worry NOT and condemn NOT ourselves when we fall short.
We worry NOT. We compare NOT.
We only learn to abide and ENJOY Him.

Proverbs 16:9
A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them
sure.

Our hearts hold our dreams, our callings, our purpose...
Our hearts may long so much to see these come to pass in our lives...
And when it does not, we can get pretty discouraged and disappointed...

But it is the Lord, who guides us every step of the way, building a sure and
steady foundation of character, perseverance and hope.

The God of BIG DREAMS...
Is also the God of SMALL DETAILS...
Interested in making you His miracle...

here's the update nobody.. :)

things are changing..all the time. we move forward, we slide backwards. we cry out one moment, we deny Him the next. We speak boldly of Him once, we deny Him another time.

.

It doesnt really matter actually.

God sees us in love. Love cancels everything.

Love God back. Thats all. Love God more everyday. Make the choice to do so and pray He help u.

.

we move forward, ~~we slide backwards~~. we cry out every moment, ~~we deny Him the next.~~ We speak boldly of Him forever, ~~we deny Him another time.~~

been making decisions and deciding to listen to God but things nvr seems to move forward?

always facing setbacks and temptations and distractions each time u want to get close to God?

feel that things are not working out and your walk with God is getting odd n not knowing y?

Never Fear! God is here! But this is only Step 1.

Step 2: Pray! Talk to God. Cry, brawl, wrestle, talk, shout, scream, whisper, sing, complain, speak. Communicate with GOD! GOD is listening!

Step 3: Listen! Hear what God has to say.

Last Step: Respond! Do what God says. Period.

John 10:9-11 (NKJV)
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.

not yet. not so soon as it seems.

things are not right. lives are not ready.

come near to the Lord now. Be faithful and truthful to Him. dun even tink about your God-sized assignment yet if u are not even accepting Him as your Lord.

Two paths. one decision. Your way or God's way. wondering in the desert or entering the promised Land.

.

God always gives us the freedom to choose. Things happen. He calls us. He draws us. We want to choose Him. His way.

But do we really have faith and take action to reflect that decision? Do we take that leap into the unknown and lift our lives up to Him?

Joshua 1:11
Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, saying, 'Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you are to cross this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you, to possess it.'

Prepare yourselves, Zion. God is gonna bring you to possess the promised land. Faith, rise up!

God followed thru on His promise. i was praying hard. so was eveline. He came just like He promised. To deliver His people. Hearts are opened and minds are awakened.

Joel 2:12-32

Hear Him those whose ears are closed, hearts which are hardened and minds far from Him.

He who always loves and always protects gave a call to His sheep, in authority and power, yet in love.

.

Will it just pass like another saturday? I hope not. 10/02/2007 is marked on God's calendar as an important day. Let it be marked on our calendars also of the day we said yes to Him.

.

Luke 15:20
But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

He is always waiting. When will we go back?
