------------------------------------------------------- Where Is Your Love?
-----------------------------I AM ! the lord your god! I was before the beginning. and shall be after the end. I created the heavens and the earth. and all living creatures. I made a place full of goodness. I filled the earth with surprises, shining stones, minerals, caves, coves, shells, towering trees, mountains, fields, the pounding sea, I made all plants and animals. and I made man. like little children they would play and laugh as they tamed the animals I gave them. or smile with delight with every new discovery they would make. like a child in their wonder at every shining stone under the ground or to find a shining star in the heavens above. I was vary happy as there father. and loved every heart felt praise they would share with me. it made my heart happy to share ALL I could with them! all I ever hoped for ! was their love! for all that I gave them. and to love me as their father. I tried to walk with them. but suddenly they changed! they avoided me and no longer called me father! they said the world was theirs. and started destroying all I had created for them. they said this is my life! and they didn't need me! and hurt and killed each other ( acting as angry children do. not thinking of the end results. ) I sent my profits to tell them I still love them. and how much I wanted their love. but they laughed at them and killed them. finally they no longer believed in me ( it hurt so bad! ) so I sent them the best I have ( My Most Beloved Son! Jesus ! ) surely they would listen to him? but they wouldn't. they rejected him , cussed at him , spit on him , and beat him to a pulp. and finally they crucified him ( MY SON !! ) I was so angry I wanted to destroy it all! but my son said Father Forgive Them . For they know not what they do. so I gave him the power to decide who is mine. for he has felt their pain. and can rightusly judge their hearts. so now they have had the best of my love and ( All ) I had to give. So I ask. Where is You'r love? writen by The lord shining in my heart C,R,S

Forgivness A Real Deal
-----------------------------------------
God Bless you!
First I want to share with you.
my own words
a few pastors had a get together. to hear a speaker Mr Bill. and one pastor Mr Tapman came there with a young girl about 18 with him. they came forward to speak with mr bill. and said ..this girl went through Years of abuse and sex abuse in her childhood. she turned to drugs then ended up on the streets and selling her body... she did every horrible thing you can think of. beleveing she was trash! ... but then she turned to the Lord. and repented and has been stead fast in the lord... Said Her Pastor
and the girl just sat there crying... she said.. I know I sinned and was full of years of bad.. but Now I love God.. and don't know what to do???
The Pastor Mr Tapman broke in and said some young clean cut men in church are now wanting to have a good intending marriage type of relationship with her.. and ( she started crying Much more!) She then spoke up and said ..what oh.. what can I do.. if they find out my past. and that I have done these great sins! .. no good young man will want me! or to ever marry me.. a *****!
Then Pastor Mr Bill turned and asked her pastor has she repented??
Mr Tapman spoke up...yes she did! .. he said... has she been babtized? Mr Tapman spoke up yes she has .... has she turned from her sins and been a good girl? ..yes her pastor said.. ((as the girl started crying harder.. and her Pastor Mr Tapman put his arm protectively around her.. to give her support incase Pastor Mr Bill said something horrible about what this girl should do or say toward the young men that could want to marry her... they fearfully waited.. As Pastor Bill turned to them and said....
" Tell Them You Are A Vergin"

What???

Tell them you are a vergin!

Jesus Blood Has Cleaned You!

He Washes Away >>>>All<<<<< our sins!

We are made are made perfect in the eyes of God!

As White As Snow
1John 1.7
and the word says ..
We are Literally a New Creature / Creation in Christ!
So if God says that.. Who are You to correct God?

If a New Creation.. and Clean and Covered and Pure before God !.. then Why or How >
can you think the Old Dead Thing.. has Anything above what GOD Remade >> Reborn ..You Are New !>> Clean>> Reborn As A New Living Creature To all That Is Whole And Clean!
you see we have .All . sinned and fell short of God...
but We need to come to a understanding that God is in control if we let him.
the Bible says (Ephesians ch 2:ver 8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
(Isaiah ch.64 ver 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
So I Know we cant Earn our way there! ______________________________
Then Jesus told this story to some who had great self-confidence and scorned everyone else: "Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a dishonest tax collector. The proud Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: 'I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else, especially like that tax collector over there! For I never cheat, I don't sin, I don't commit adultery, I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.' But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.' I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored." (NLT, Luke 18:9-14)
The devil has tried and tired to do his job.. two things.. To Kill and Distroy..
But if we search the word.. we find the truth.. He Cleans Us >>> And We can Seek Him At His Thrown Of >> unmerited LOVE! <<< we don't deserve it! And Never Can!... But.. We can Come to the Person. that Loves Us! that decided to come >>In Our Place Of JugdementI !<<< that Can Relate To All Human Suffering !.. and Know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he IS the person we can apoach<< He Loves Us ! .. Dispite ourselves!
and lololol the cool thing is >>>Read the end of the book He Won!!!!
that devil is a liar!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
You Are Forgiven >> And Clean In Jesus!

How BIG Is You'r GOD ?
---------------------------
Brothers and Sisters. As Christians we Know how we are to be with God and To God.
Yet Jesus Himself said " when the son of man returns, will he find any who've remained faithful?"
Now that tells me something!
That if so many of us profess to be a Christian. why would Jesus have a hard time Finding Any ! when he comes back?
It maybe that we practice too mush religion!
instead of relationship with >Him ! <
We say We Love God.
Yet .. How Big Is You'r God?
Coming to a place of something deeper than we have E_v_e_r Known.
I Believe is this Key in our walk.
We profess much.. yet how much we Love or Try to get to Know this person Jesus . is another story!
Churchliness is not the key!
Relationship is!.
Coming to a place of deeper commitment to The Lord Jesus. is a Goal. I believe all people need to come to.
I am going to share some in sites he has shown me!


Have you ever truly thought about the person Jesus. and What Does He Really Want With You?

Truly I believe it is Relationship!
We pray at times.. but don't truly come to that ...Deep... Place at his feet!
Some people over the years come to my door and talk about Heaven! and How I should be seeking to go to heaven.. or how to try to ..Earn.. my way there!
Well for one thing.
You cant earn it!
We ALL have sinned! and we always do!
and the Bible says (Ephesians ch 2:ver 8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

(Isaiah ch.64 ver 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
So I know we cant Earn our way there!

So When I think of Heaven yes its a great place .. But
If I Love my husband.. I mean Real Love! remember that hoped for word?
Its about Him! the person.. that I love!
Not what he owns or gives me!
That is the key to a deeper relationship with the lord!
Him ! Loving Him !
look at this word >> Him<< Its not about HIS STUFF!
This Man Bore ..You'r.. punishment on that cross!
He took upon himself You'r Judgement For your Sins!
To Free You!
and this loving King. wants to share all he has with us!
but a lot of people Prize His Stuff!
or Look at him as a means to an end! what they can get!
What about what he did for you?
Who can you think of that has done more for you?
So WHY?? don't we strive to get to know this person better?


Yes we pray and all.... but.
(how do I explains this?)
There is a Cd I like to listen to. the words of the songs are like a match to my soul. setting my heart on fire for the lord!
I pondered ..What sets this Cd apart from others I have?

What I Found with research. was the wrighter of this.. was In His Past very Down! as Low..as a Human can go!
He was years Down! I cant even say here how bad! ( it is sick!)
He >> Gave up!<<
Then some thing Great happened! He Called Out To God !
And God lifted him UP!
And His Heart was Changed in what I would call. One of the Greatest Callings! ..

It got me thinking!

Then Jesus told this story to some who had great self-confidence and scorned everyone else: "Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a dishonest tax collector. The proud Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: 'I thank you, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else, especially like that tax collector over there! For I never cheat, I don't sin, I don't commit adultery, I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.' But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.' I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored." (NLT, Luke 18:9-14)

Humble !! There it is!
That is what Hit Me! about this CD.
God Took someone because.. He Truly Humbled himself before God!
And That servant.. has Stripped Away Fakeness!.. He Is On His Face before God!
And It S_h_o_w_s in his music!
That is what I hear! True.. and ..At the Feet of God. Worship!
We sometime cant even fathom the deepness of a Real relationship with God!
We are to use to Living Shallow!
We say we have deapth inside. yet we don't truly!____________

part 2

I would have to say seeing God do real things in my life.
I know that don't sound worldy. but it is to me!
after a hard life. seeing what I call real things that define human ability. it made me see ( there is more to life that what I know)
all the bad sufferings. and unfairness that happened to me. I would try to find answers as to Why it happened to > Me< and every time I would listen with my mind to worldly cults. or peoples thoughts or help.
I would find a loop hole in their thoughts.

Then one person did something strange. he prayed that I would except the lord ( unbeknown to me)and marry him.
the next Day I got saved!
there where to many people with such a Slim chance that affected me in lineing up to my husband and God . that I Can't ever look at the things of my past and not see them as shapeing the out come of my life!
I spent years hopeing my prince would come and rescue me from the bad of my life! yet God used many people has I said where if they didn't do as they did I wouldn't have the husband. nore life I have now!.. there were people that only didn't have to turn their head. and I would Not have what I have! ( For Real!)

Like a cop saw me. and pulled me out of a car.. all he had to do was look away!.. I would have been gone! a lady talk to me a few mins ( when she wasn't to even Be there!) set up my life!
A prayer for a Huge Huge Sinner! ( Me!) change me the next day! and all of the beatings and pain of my past Hell Life.. if it Didn't happen. I would not have left home to run away . thus finding a > One Man< that I Know God solved so much of my needs for a peaceful life with!

I Know I am not saying things how I should..
but so many things.from my past. that have hurt me. I now see as a strength. as it or shall I say ( the Lord) used for to make me stronger > Inside< to deal with my internal person.( Who I really Am).. I see how much I hated the way the others were treating me!.. so I deturmed I didn't want to be Like them!
Real Cinderella here!.. its been my Goal. to work on the inner woman to try to prefect every Thing inside!.. we like to think we are good! but we are not! the bible says all of our best works are as filthy rags!

So how can I clean me up?
By seeking Truth in all things!
by seeing. turn every thought I have.. every work I try. to be as fallen on my face before God as I can! To strive to reach out Beyond Self! to others. and Forgive>> Forgive>> Forgive!.. How can I say I have Any strength. if I Think say or do Any Bad to others?

No people don't want to be that deep!
But do I!
I have my own thoughts on God!
I think all this life Really is!
Is a Profecting of our Souls / hearts / and Minds!
But

People think that is way over board! .. its easier to be comfortable and Play nice!
But Inside.. a Fall on your face get real and Life to Praise the Lord! is to restricting!
Sorry. I just see the help God has gave by hopeless worldly things to my hubby of 28 years and I. to be a strength that defies human perspectives!
I have been very close to dieing many times ( illness) But after all my freaking out. I just came to a point where.. I thought about what things I can control. and what things I cant... then I looked at my soul. and thought about all the teachings

I have herd of over my life. and What did I choose to believe in!
..... Then I looked at Who did I trust to lead me into the afterlife.
.. I looked at Jesus as a person. and how he made it so he could relate to us as humans... he was born poor. so even the lowest of us could come to him. ( not mr rich Person we cant relate to) and how he felt pain hunger. suffering.. and the big one to me. being totally Alone ! he was! people / friends. Ran from him at the time of his greatest need!
I think along the lines of if I have my home all fixed up for a party. and want people to come and be with me. you wouldn't want the booggy man to show up. nor people that don't give a hoot about you!
and you would only want people that really Loved you and cared for you to come... that is how I think of the Lord... he has made a great place for us!. but there is the person you show the world.. and the person you are Inside..( kind of like if I am burned in a fire and scared up. That is not! what I am Inside!..) the true person we are is Inside! and profecting that person . is what I think is the

Base thing God intended. ......I think that is Why so many times we don't understand What is Up! with all the trash of this Life.... Maybe it is a time of direction of the training / gaining strength to that inner person. to become a WHOLE and useful soul!.. so I decided to put All My Hope!in one person. to help and Save ME Jesus!.. HE did the one thing we ALL fear!!!! He Conquered Death!..he did not just show his self to a few people. He Proved It To Hundreds! when he arose!.. if you dissect What things he did. you can see. all of them where addressing the human plight. so all the choose I really have. is to realize I have a living soul. and I cant control what this life will do... but I can Look at Who Conquered this huge leap we must make. ( the end of this life).. so I choose not to fear. but put my Hope!... Trust !.. and Who I Really Am ! in the hands of Jesus! to take care of >>> That part we have no control over <<John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Thanks for sharing this, it was long but worth the read.
When posting Caps are not allowed, so if you want to put emphasis on a word or phrase try putting it in bold, also creating paragraphs and spacing them out by hitting enter would help my poor eyes..lol

I love this and had to quote you.
You've blessed me today.
Thank you.
