He Paid The Price

Sorry, I'm just getting back to my blog. When I look at all God has done for me in my life, I find myself very lacking in sharing how amazing his grace truly is. The price our Lord paid to make it possible for us to spend eternity in heaven with him is was unbelievable. All that God has asked in return is that we believe and accept his son as our Lord and Savior. Is life easy with the Lord, no, but we are never alone and he gives a peace that cannot be defined. Why would we expect God to spare our lives of any heartache, when he would not spare his on son, death on the cross. Go with me as I share, He Paid The Price. He paid that price for you and for me. Loving him should be easy.


                                                         He Paid The Price


     We often forget that God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He never changes.Take the time to study and build a personal relationship with the Lord. He will reveal his love and amazing grace in our lives, if we will allow him to. You will find peace in times of trouble, calm and assurance in times of fear. Blessings on top of blessings, instead of loneliness and despair.
    Sin came into this world because of disobedience. That was the beginning of the problems we have today. Sin called for the punishment of death, to pay the debt that was owed. Because we have a Holy God, a Holy sacrifice was required to pay that debt for each one of us. God's love provided the full payment, with his own sacrifice.
     The Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, was the sacrifice that God required. God became man, born of a virgin, a perfect man, in whom no sin was found. He surrendered his heavenly life to become a man, to face every temptation and heartache that we each go through. Gave up all that he was and allowed the leading of the Holy Spirit, directed by the will of his Heavenly Father, to lead in everything he did. When Jesus time on earth was complete, our Lord was arrested in our place, beaten and whipped for each of us.Every stripe from the whip carried a healing for Gods children. On the cruel wooded cross our Savior suffered and died for every sin committed or that will be committed. The greatest gift of Gods amazing grace, Christ rose from the grave, resurrected from death, winning the victory for you and me. God accepted the work of the cross of His only begotten son, as payment in full for what man had done.  Jesus, He Paid The Price, to purchase you and me.

     I Corinthians 6:19-20  KJV
     What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God"s.

Come Rescue Me

     As I considered what to post this week, I thought about all the times that the Lord as been there for me. Times he has brought me through a difficulty,  a dangerous time, or a time of a broken heart. No matter the situation, he has always been there, waiting for me to call out to Him, "Lord, Come Rescue Me." Knowing I can't face the time ahead alone. Go with me on the journey with the King as he seeks his lost child.



                                                         Come Rescue Me

     The child cries out, "Come Rescue Me." So tiny in size, few even see the heartaches hidden inside. The enemy knew God had great plans for her life. From the day of her birth, the assaults would not cease on the heart of the child. All radiance seems lost, but, deep in her heart, the desire of a rescue still has a spark.
     The kings on their horses, for her will they search. The trail often blocked, obstructions unseen. One after another, a king rides away. They simple say, "The little girl is lost, no more to be seen. The searching must end, it has cost me to much."
     Then, you see a beautiful white horse, no blemish at all. The King of all kings, rides past the weak kings. "I paid the ransom, to me she has great value and worth. I will find the child."
     The enemy band now sees the King of Kings, with the Angels of War at His side. In a great panic, one by one they begin to flee. Not one will remain.
     The child wants to cry out to Him, but, then, seeing the King in all His glory, she hides. Dressed in the dirt of her past, revealing her life. Bowing her head in shame because of her guilt. "I was not wanted except for abuse. My life has no value or worth. Why, would He come to rescue me?" Yet, He sought after her, to give her new life.
     To the angels the King said. "Take my child to the palace. She is to share in all that I have. Prepare a great banquet, a feast to behold. Gather the gowns, fit for a queen, and a crown to be placed on her head. But, the very first thing, she is to be bathed in love, washed whiter than snow. She is to be washed in the blood of My Son."
     "Yes my child, for you I have come. I'm taking you home. You are the bride of My Son."

I Stumbled Agin

     It seems all I ever do is stumble. Mistakes made everyday. I realize most of us feel we fail in some way each day. So here is a poem I wrote, I Stumbled Again. It is probably the shorted thing I have posted but, that doesn't matter. I share what God lays on my heart, not what I think will get the attention. He has his reason for each post and I just need to trust Him.



                                                          I Stumbled Again


     "Lord, I stumbled again today." I struggle, and try, and fail all along the way. My day began with prayer, for His guidance and grace, as I went on my way "Lord, I thought I was doing my best. Yet, I failed again today. Seems I never will learn to do life your way. Why, do I stumble Lord, so often along the way?"
     Suddenly, I hear the Lord speak, "I don't remember your stumbling today. You sought me, for your guidance and needs, in our quiet time together, as you started your day. I've been beside you all along the way. You may seem to have stumbled, but, you turned and sought for me all along the way. Don't you know, I have forgiven and don't remember the struggles along the way."
