The Cat and the Mockingbird The cat lay lazily on a warm summer's day The bird angrily swooped and tried to distract "God is that You?" I exclaimed with a start! Not that the cat was God you do see, Are distractions -- some that even seem right His plans are often hidden from view Friday, May 30 2003

Thank you for the ways you work for us that we are unaware of, yet our lives are blessed because you held us up in your righteous right hand. Thank you for revealing your beautiful armor to your soldier. Your loving daughter, student, patient, Judy Friday, May 23 2003
A Home In You Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will obey My teachings." If you do this, He pledges, "My Father will love you and We will come and make Our home [abode, special dwelling place] in you." If the God who created the heavens and the earth has made a home in you, then you will not be left alone to face life's daily trials and tests. Jesus promises in His Word that He will not leave you as an orphan, but will send to you a Comforter. The Comforter is His Holy Spirit. Is there an empty spot in your heart? Then invite Him to abide in you now. If you have already accepted Jesus as your Lord but you still feel empty or unsure about your salvation, it could be the result of the way you treat the One with Whom you share living quarters. How do you treat the Father, Jesus, and His Holy Spirit? Are you respectful of your Companion's likes and dislikes? Have you made a point to learn what those things are? Do you treat Him like a friend or like a visitor? Are you trying to make it look as if things are better than they really are in your home? Don't fool yourself. God sees what is hidden in your closets, crammed into your garage, swept under your rug, stashed in your attic, veiled in your files, and concealed in your basement. He knows what you have and what you continue to reap from your reading materials. He sees the TV shows and the movies you watch, and knows why you laugh at the jokes you hear. Jesus knows everything going onin your house. He sees what you see and even what you don't. God sees your heart. You can hide nothing from Him. Nothing. A day will come when you will stand before the Father, with or without Jesus' help, and give an account for your life. Are you ready for that day? If not, then today is the day to clean house!!! Jesus is not like anyone else you have ever had in your home. He comes to help, not to ridicule, judge or torment you. He wants to encourage you from the inside out. If you give Him access to every area of your home, He will help you clean it by casting His soft, loving Light on those hard-to-reach places. His long arm will tenderly clean out the vilest places in your heart that have kept you living in shame. Christ wants to say to you, "Come and take my hand. I won't abandon you, so don't be overwhelmed or afraid. We will work together to get your house clean. You will rejoice and so will I." Then you will be able to walk in His righteousness, and be clothed in His love. Because God lived as a man in Jesus, He knows the things you go through. He understands why you fall, and He understands why you have a difficult time getting up. For you and all of mankind, Jesus came to earth and took our eternal beating, our eternal ridicule, our eternal torment, and our eternal death. He came to set the captives free. Why? So that we can boldly go to the Father, through Jesus, and be one with Him.Jesus came to spare you from everlasting separation from God caused by the sin in your life. Do not be fooled. "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Christ bought and paid for your freedom with His own innocent blood. Now His desire is for you to live your life abundantly, through, and in Him. Christ loves you and wants to help you, but you have to admit that you need His help. Trust Jesus. You can attempt to build your home without the Lord, but it will be in vain. However, when the Creator of the universe lives on the inside of you, the Master of reconstruction will be at work for your benefit. He will remodel, rebuild, add-on, refurbish, and redeem all you want or need done to your house. All you have to do is ask. God promises that you will receive, and He keeps His promises. To get started on an exciting and wonderful journey with the Father, simply and honestly say, "LORD! HELP ME!" ~Like the prodigal son's father, the Lord will come running to greet you.~ To confirm this message, please refer to these Scriptures in the Bible: John 14:15-27, John 1:1-5, John 12:47, Mark 7:21-23, Mark 15:10-39, Heb 4:15, 16, Heb 9:14-15, Gal 3:3, 13, Gal 6:7, Luke 15:20-24, Ro 3:23, Eph 4:30-32 1Thes 5:8-11, Ps 1:1-3, Ps 127:1, Proverbs 3:5-8, Job 16:19-21 Is 41:10, Hag 1:2-8, Matt 7:24-27, Is 61:1, Ro 8:34-39, Ro 10:13, Ro 14:10-12, 2 Cor 5:17-21, 1 Peter 2:5, Rev 1:5 Friday, May 23 2003

Dear Loved Ones, There is something that happened last week that REALLY blessed me and I want to share it with you. As of late, I have really been going through a spiritual fire. As we know, that is when the 'fourth Man' shows up! Last week I had an errand to run to deliver something to a local church. As I drove I said, "Lord, I really need to talk to someone about this; I really do not know what to do." Just then I remembered the pastor of the church that I was heading to had been highly recommended the year before to me as an expert in family matters. He was trained through Campus Crusade for Christand does seminars all over the country. Anyway, I thought if I were to run into him I would speak to him, but as I came in he was driving out. I thought, 'Ok Lord. Maybe You have someone else in mind." However, as I started into the church he came driving back and pulled up right next to me! I spoke to him a bit and cut to the chase and told him what was troubling me. He spoke for a while but said, "Here is my 30 second advise for you." "You have to separate your goal from your desires." He didn't say, "Goals" he said, "Goal" Singular. He explained, "Your #1 goal is to glorify God in all you say and do, your desires are things you want to have happen. In other words it is your goal to glorify God, but it is your desire for your family to glorify God. You have to separate them. You cannot change others; you can only change yourself." This may sound simplistic, but I am here to tell you that one thing has really freed me up! (No smell of smoke here!) I began to confess, "Lord, may all I do, say, think and feel Glorify You!" (I added the think and feel because what we think affects our words and what we feel affects our actions.) I have to continually ask myself, "Does it (what I just said, did, thought or felt) glorify God?" It is amazing how I discovered many things do not. As these things are revealed in my life, I apologize to the Lord, accept His forgiveness and His help, and move on. I pray today you make this your GOAL: To "Glorify God in everything you do, say, think or feel." When you fail, as we all do, I pray you will also ask for forgiveness, accept it and His help and move forward! In His love and mercy (with you), Judy |
