Kings Daughter AzI LOVE YOU LORD
26/05/2006 " Jesus wept."
He is a God of emotion, and I am sure that His heart breaks at the choices of His creation 18/05/2006 I want to hear from you!If you have visited my space I would like to know who you are and if you found anything intresting here. If not what can I do to make it better.....thanks!  14/05/2006 Voice Of Grace" I tell you the truth, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:43
What did the thief on the cross do to warrant help? He wasted his life...who was he to beg for forgiveness? He pubicly scoffed at Jesus. What right did he have to pray...."Jesus remember me when you come into Your Kingdom"? Do you really want to know the truth? He had the same right as you do to pray....In his place, that is you and me on that cross next to Jesus. Naked, desolate, hopeless and left alone to die. That is us. That is us asking, for Jesus to remember us...We do not boast, we do not produce any list of accomplishments. Any sacrifice on our part appears silly when placed before God on a cross...We like the thief , have one more prayer. And we, like the thief, pray. And we, like the thief, hear the voice of grace.
"Being made right with God by His grace, we could have the hope of receiving the life that never ends." Titus 3:7
You may be a decent person, you may pay your taxes and kiss your kids and sleep with a clean conscience. But apart from Christ, you are not holy. So how can you go to Heaven apart from Christ? All you have to do is believe. Accept the work already done; the work of Jesus on the cross. Accept the goodness of Jesus Christ. Abandon your own works and accept His. Abandon your own decency and accept His. Stand before God in His name, not yours. Is it that easy, you ask? There was nothing easy about it at all. The cross was heavy, the blood was real, and the price was extravagant. The cost would have destroyed you or me., so He paid it for us. Call it simple. Call it a gift. But do not call it easy. Call it what it is.....Call it grace.
"Everyone who believes in Him is freed from all guilt and declared right with God-something the jewish law could never do."
Acts 13:39
" For God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins and to satisfy God's anger against us. We are made right with God when we believe that Jesus shed His blood, sacrificing His life for ours."
Romans 3:25
" Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him."
Roamns 5:9
29/04/2006 His Broken Heart Heals Our HurtsI can't understand it. I honestly cannnot. Why did Jesus die on the cross? Oh, I know, I know. I have heard the official answers. "To gratify the old law." "To fulfill prophecy." And these answers are right. But there is something more here. Something very compassionate. Something yearning. Something personal. What is it?
Could it be that His heart was broken for all the people who cast despairing eyes toward the dark heavens and cry the same "WHY!"? Could it be that His heart was broken for the hurting?
I imagine Him bending close to those that hurt. I imagine Him listening. I picture His eyes misting and a pierced hand brushing away a tear....He who wa alone...understands.
The greek word for compassion is splanchnizomai, which won't mean anything to you unless you studied it in the health profession. If so, you remember that "splanchnology" is the study of the gut. When Matthew writes that Jesus has compassion on the people, he is not saying that Jesus felt casual pity for them. No, the term is far more graphic. Matthew is saying that Jesus felt their hurt in His gut:
He felt the limp of the cripled.
He felt the hurt of the diseased.
He felt the lonliness of the leper.
He felt the embarrassment of the sinful.
And once He felt their hurts, He couldn't help but heal their hurts.
Tha is why the cross had to happen....
There was no other way.
God is ableIf God is able to place the stars in thier sockets and suspend the sky like a curtain, do you think itis remotely possible that God is able to guide your life? If your God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enought to light your path? If He cares enough about the planet Saturn to give it rings or Venus to make it sparkle, is the an outside chance that He cares enough for you to meet your needs?
"And God can give you more blessings than you need. Then you will always have plenty of everything-enough to give to every good work."
2 Corinthians 9:8
God calls for yout o lay down your caresHe is waiting for you. God is standing on the porch of Heaven, expectantly hoping, searching the horizon for a glimpse of His child. You are the one God is seeking. God is the waiting Father, the caring Shepard in search of His lamb. His legs are scratched, His feet are sore, and His eyes are burning. He scales the cliffs and traverses the fields. He explores the caves. He cups His hands to His mouth and calls into the canyon. And the name He calls is yours.....
The message is simple: God gave up His son in order to rescue all His sons and daughters. To bring His children home.
Maybe the heaviest burden we try to carry that stops us from answering is the burden of mistakes and failures.What do you do with your failures? Even if you have fallen, even if you have failed, even if everyone else has rejected you, Christ will not turn away from you. He came first and foremost to those who have no hope. He goes to those no one else would go to and says, " I will give you eternity." Only you can surrender your concerns to the Father. No one else can take those away and give them to God. Only you can cast all your anxieties on The One who cares for you.....
He is listening for your answer.
-Walking With The Savior 27/04/2006 The Compassionate ChristWhen Jesus lands on the shore of Bethsaida, He elaves the Sea of Galilee and steps into a sea of humanity. Keep in mind, He has crossed the sea to get away from the crowds. He needs to grieve. He longs to relax with His disciples. He needs anything but another crowd of thousands to reach and heal. But His love for people overcomes His need for rest....
Many of those He healed would never say "thank you", but He healed them anyway. Most would be more concerned with being healthy than being holy, but He healed them anyway. Some of those that who asked for bread today would cry for His blood a few months later, but He helaed them anyways. He had compassion on them. God Favirute WordGod is an inviting God. He invited Mary to birth His son, the disciples to fish for men, the adulterous woman to start over,and Thomas to touch His wounds. God is the King who preapres the palace, sets the table and invites His subjects to come in.
In fact, it seems His favorite word is "Come". "Come let us talk about these things. Though your sins be as scarlet, they can be white as snow."
"All you who are thirsty, come and drink."
"Come to Me all, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest."
God is a God who invites. God is a God who calls.
-And the Angels Were Silent
25/04/2006 GODS UNFAILING LOVE" Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you and approved of you, as My chosen instrument, and before you were born, I seperated you and set you apart, consecrating you; and I appointed you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5 Amplified
"The Lord appeared from of old to me, saying, 'Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you." Jeremiah 31:3
An amazing fact illustrated throughout God's Word, is how much He loves us. God knows us the way we will be, the way we will be acting, the way we will think...before we are even born. Although possessing this foreknowledge, He declares openly of His unfailing love for us. What a contrast with man, who claims to have unfailing love, and fails to even be faithful, if not through deeds, then through impure thoughts. We are the ones who broke our relationship with God by pursuing a life independant from Him. He is the One who takes the initiative to reach out to us and repair our broken relationship with Him. God loved us so much that He was willing to die for us so that we could be reconciled and have fellowship with Him! What an amazing love! The King of the universe willing to die for His creation to save it for eternity! Jesus would have died just for you! Your friendship is important to Him! His hunger for your fellowship is uncomparable! HE LOVES YOU!
" THE SINGLE TEAR"
There was just one...it dropped out of the corner of my eye, and before I could reach up to wipe it away, it had already coursed down my cheeck. Where had it come from, this single tear? As I had reflected on the scriptures a few more minutes: "Chosen by God"...."Holy"...."Beloved"...."The apple of His eye"....What did this mean in practical terms?How did this status of "Beloved" by God really manifest itself in everyday life? That's when I felt the warm, wet stream course down my right cheeck. Then He spoke: " I shed that tear," He said, "The thought that our time together will soon end brought tears to my eyes, and one of them dropped on your cheeck." "Oh Lord!" I cried, "You have enjoyed this time together as much as I have! But....How...." Suddenly the full meaning of this verse struck me: I am God's beloved. He desires to spend time with ME, to commune with ME, to have a relationship and friendship with ME! "Oh Lord!", I repeated, "why can't we do this more often?" He didn't answer. He didn't need to. I already knew.
HE was always there. It was me who was too busy, too tired, too insecure. It was my adamant belief that the God of the universe didn't have time to spend with me; my poor self image, my feelings of unworthiness, the lies from the enemy shouted that I was not important to God. His response was clear: "That's exactly what I died for!"
" No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me attracts and draws him and gives him the desire to come to Me, and then I will raise him up from the dead at the last day." And He said, " This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him, unless he is able to do so by the Father." John 6:44,65
" Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears, listens to, and heeds my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he will eat with Me."
Revelation 3:20
07/04/2006 Prophetic WordThis is a coment leaft on my yahoo messenger from an unknown person! How awesome how God works and uses people!
" Just say AMEN!......You shall not struggle to be recognized. Your gift shall announce you. All your lack will give way to abundance. Your success is non negotiable. You shall have visions that are clear. Virtues that are right and Victory that is certain shall be yours! Just march on to your success in this new month."
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! Let it be so Lord, just as You have said! I receive all that you have for me and will be a good steward of all you pour out on me and my household! I love You Lord! And I thank You, with overflowing gratitude!
Your Daughter,
Cindy Family Time" Blessed is the man whose quiver is full." - GOD
In other words, children are a blessing from God and the more He gives you, the more blessed you may be considered. Together, my husband and I have 5. If you count the number of kids that have in the past, and continue to gather at our home and go out on family outins as part of our family, at times it may have been innumerable! Raising children, in my opinion, is the most important responsibility one could do with your life. It is also the most heart wrenching and rewarding experience of a lifetime. Our children are 3 boys, two girls, in the ages of 13,14,15,19 and 21. What an awesome time in thierlives, and what a challenge to some times get them through! We are also currently being certified as foster parents for a disabled teen girl, yet to be named or made known to us, but known by God from the beginning of time! We were so blessed to provide a home and family for a 17 year old girl for 2 years who had cerebral palsy and mental retardation. I would have never thought myself capable of caring for someone of that nature, although my work history is adult hospice personal, one on one, in home care. But we were so blessed to have known this young lady, and be a part of her life, it has opened up an area in our hearts to continue this venture. God also tells us to " take care of the orphans and widows."
For the last 17 or so years, we have had a family tradition to go to "Spring Fling" every year just before spring break. A carnival/fair type of attraction that comes to town once a yr. Tonight was our night. It is so much fun for me to spend this time with the kids, riding every ride, even at my age.....except for the feris wheel, which would leave me in tears if it ried to ride. Which makes no sense because i can ride every other ride, including the "mega drop" which slowly goes up 10 stories to free fall at 70 mph, at an unexpected time in 3 seconds! This has got to be good for staying young! As I will turn 40 this summer! WOW! 40 !
 Ok on with it...the time we spend here at this fling, is not something that i would exchange for anything in the world. It is a time of looking fear in the face, deep belly laughs as a result of that fear, and bonding time that is priceless with our children! I love them all so much. I don't think that there are adequate words in any language that would express or explain this feeling. They love you unconditionally, through good and bad, trial and error and everything in between. There is no difference in my kids and his kids regarding the love that I feel. If you have read any of my blog comments, one of them is from Katie...my husbands daughter. It brought tears to my eyes as she openly expressed her love and acceptance of me as part of her family. We have only been married for a year and a half now. We have been so blessed....our quiver is full and growing....and I am so thankful that God saw me worthy enough for the job! If any of the kids read this.......I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!! 03/04/2006 Gods WordI am waiting for the throngs of people to flock to my site....lol...and it hasn't happened yet...BUT I am believing that it will. SO.......if you just happen to stop by and check things out, please leave me a message so I know you have been here. OK? OK! Now on to more important things. In my church, 4 years ago, we opened a Ministry Home for Women called the Hospitality House of Tucson, in Arizona. We believe that God direected us to do this to provide a place where women who were hurting, addicted, in jail or prison, victoms of abuse, physical, emotional, sexual, in despair, abandoned by family and friends, on the street...it didn't matter where they came from, the only thing that matters is that they are done with living life as they know it, in the midst of the muck and mire, and have a desire to come to know the healing power and salvation of Jesus Christ. Thats the only criteria...you have to want to know God! He is the ONLY ONE that can heal, deliver and save. And He doesnt care what you look like when you come to Him, beat up, worn out, bruised, tattered and torn. All He cares about is that you come. I have been the Director of the Home since we opened it. Part of my responsibilities is to counsel and teach the women from the Word of God, the Bible. Which we believe is HIS perfect and infallable personal word. I have been away from the duties of the home for about 5 weeks because of my own physical illness and was back tonight for a Bible study since then. I was so saddened to see the lack of desire for Gods Word, and the complacency in the hearts of some of the women that has "moved in". And you know what? God takes it personally when we take Him for granted, and don't put Him first. He says He is jealous for us, and warns us to not have anything before Him. When we allow the business of the day, and whatever else comes in and distracts us to take us away from our first love...God...then we become a moving target for the enemy....satan...to come and kill, steal and destroy what God is building in us. We have to have a desire to know Gods word....that is how we come to KNOW HIM...that is how we learn of all HIS promises for our lives as HIS children, and hoa much HE desires to bless us. It is all there in THE BOOK. There are no secrets for those who have adesire to know. HE says, "ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you." That is where the power comes from to live here on this earth, in the midst of evil, knowing GOD has promised us a life in Heaven with HIM for eternity...if we follow HIM. If you are reading this and you don't know GOD I encourage you to look for HIM. If you are reading this and you once walked with GOD but have walked away, I encourage you to come home to HIM. HE promises to through a huge party for you, and clothe you with the best garments, and give you HIS signet ring...just for comming back...no questions asked. If you are reading this and you are submitted to GOD and walking daily with HIM I encoirage you to pray for those who are weak, and speak to those who are hurting...they deserve an ooportunity to hear the Gospel and make a concious decision to follow HIM WHO SAVES. 28/03/2006 Leave a comment (blog)Thank You Lord for another beautiful day!
Hey! If you bother to stop by let me know you were here and click on the "blog" button and leave me a note!! WelcomeWOW! This is a really cool place. I have never had my own "space" or web site before, so please be patient while this is under construction. It is my desire to share the Word of God through Scriptures, pictures and testimonies. Your comments or questions are welcomed, and I hope that you will be blessed as you wander through.
" In the beginning (before all time) was The Word (Christ), and The Word was with God, and The Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life, and The Life was The Light of men."
John 1:1-4
" I amd The Door; anyone who enters in through Me shall be saved (will live). He will come in and go out (freely) and will find pasture. The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and to destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). I am The Good Shepard. The Good Shepard risks and lays down His (own) life."
John 10:9-11 Amplified Bible
" For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He (even) gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies) on Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. For God did not send The Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condem, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation, and be made safe and sound through Him."
John 3:16-17 Amplified Bible
" Before I formed you in the womb I knew (and) approved of you (as My chosen instrument) and before you were born, I seperated and set you apart consecrating you; (and) I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1:5 Amplified Bible
" The Lord is my Shepard (to feed, guide, and shield me) I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in (fresh, tender) green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness (uprightness and right standing with Him-not for my earning it, but) for His names sake. Yes, though i walk through the (deep sunless) valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod (to protect) and Your staff (to guide), they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You annoint my head with oil; my (brimming) cup runs over. Surely goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life and through the length of my days the house of the Lord (and His presence) shall be my dwelling place."
Psalm 23 Amplified Bible
