Loving all God's people


" That is why since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people, I have not stopped giving thanks to God for you. I always remember you in my prayers ..."

... winds of change ...

 

"And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

Matthew 10 : 30


Hello everyone ...

I have this theory that the wind makes everyone a little stir crazy.

It is as though on windy days ... the wind gets caught and whirls around in our heads ... somehow it unbalances the certainty of our well being.

The winds of change have the same effect.  When change is creating ripples of a newness that we don't understand ... the urge is to resist.  It is at these times we need to sit down and wait out that strange feeling of newness.  Don't act in haste and battle against the unfamiliarity.  Instead watch and observe and learn what this new way of being is bringing.

When new things come they don't always come as expected.  Sometimes things happen at the turn of seasons ... just like putting on a new winter jumper.  At other times it may feel like you have moved to another country where everyone speaks a different language and you struggle to fit into their culture.

This newness does feel uncomfortable sometimes ... but with time, it will become like an old familiar friend.

How high and majestic does the soul soar in these triumphs.  How great God's heart must be for us is indescribable. That he wants us to learn and grow and change.

Then blink ... just for a second and remember ... what if you had decided to say NO and stay in that old skin, back in that old familiar place that was the past ... what if you never found the courage to say YES and wait out the feelings of the strange newness??

For the courage comes from a faith, in knowing the creator wants the very best for us and loves us beyond anything.


"And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
Matthew 10 : 30


Feel the smile these bring to your face ... now think of someone who needs your love and encouragement ...

Quick send them an email with a big smiley face.

Now you have just passed on God's Love ... it's as easy as that ... DONE!

Be blessed and be a blessing
