You Are Not Alone...God Loves You.

 


We're blazing another round of tumultuous period of an onslaught to Delta Variant. Masks are required again. We were just having a breather and people are really enjoying this freedom until another so-called strand popped to threaten our livelihood. And we ask, when will this charade be over? That's just my opinion. 

I can't help to implore the question, "Who's benefiting the most from all of these? I'm sure that crossed into the forefront of your mind. Who and what are we giving the fidelity and the integrity of our constitutional rights to? 

Each day I grow weary and perplexed of how this beautiful, blessed, and most powerful country in the world is not holding up against tyranny among those we put into power to protect the people but instead we, the people are constrained in a box. Again, it's just me and my thoughts. We don't really get the real substance of media reporting. It is disconcerting that I no longer watch the news of any kind...I read up on articles though by trustworthy writers and re-read them again with punctuations and notations. 

It's a crazy world we live in, so they say... However, we can be more informed, equipped, and prayerful so "we may not be destroyed and perished because of lack of knowledge." We, the people of God have that opportunity to learn what the Bible says about all of these. "All Scriptures in the Bible is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NIV

"Take Joy In The Journey..."

 

Good, inspiring music is at our disposal...We get it for free anytime, anywhere in the U.S.
Beyond Blessed for the freedom to choose what we want to listen to and thank God for raising up artists, musicians, and songwriters to help reach people know that they can call upon God for mercy, grace and forgiveness.

There is undeniably millions of people hurting here in Earth. I must say, all of us--just in different ways. For how deep the pain is, no one can measure except that when you have Hope in God's sovereign power and unconditional love, living each day becomes "a purpose driven life."

"Taking joy in the journey" as this song echoes, will eventually lead us to believe that we will have the victory in the end. This very narrow road to our eternal home is very hard to travel but we will make it and try to bring as many souls as we can with us for Heaven is real--that's the greatest commission...God instructed us!

"God Bless The U.S.A."


 My favorite patriotic anthem...

"Proud to be an American and I love this land..."
Only in America where the very heart of freedom is lived Today. I'm talking our freedom to worship a god of the Pharisees or the son of God that died for all of our sins so we may be reunited with Him in eternity. Once our religious or Christian beliefs are curtailed, controlled and ceased by the government, then we're no longer the "land of the Free and the home of the Brave."
However, I doubt that will ever happen not with the revivals that are taking place here in America. Christianity is still very much alive... Prayer is still a lifeline and a weapon against weariness & hopelessness.
Thank God for His faithfulness, for holding darkness that we deserve and that He never gives up on us if we fix our eyes on Jesus. Let not your heart be troubled. Seek Him for wisdom and guidance. Accept Him today as your personal Savior and Lord and your life will no longer be filled with constant fear and agitation. Oh, how He loves you and me...

God is Faithful...

 It was forty five minutes past noon when I heard like a loud collision while I was leaving my driveway. Dare me, I wasn't looking at my rearview mirror! I knew I hit something. I didn't sound like I just ran over a bump. 

Sure thing, I got out of my car and here comes a guy maybe on his late twenties or early thirties looking furious and told me, "Are you not looking?" I just said, I'm so sorry." There was no need to defend myself or make excuses to what it seemed to be an admission of guilt on my end. But I did tell him that this was my first accident that I caused in 34 years that I have been driving. Now that I'm lying down my bed at night, that remark doesn't have any bearing to my negligence for not looking in the rearview mirror while backing up.

The guy was driving probably a 2019 or a 2020 vehicle. I still drive a 2003 vehicle. What swirled into my mind was that I'm going to drain my savings just to fix his new car. But I know that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is faithful...

Before I turn on my car, I say a very simple prayer-- "Thank you God for your traveling mercies, for your hedge of protection over me, and thank you that you're always with me wherever I go and for your faithfulness I'm always in awe..." That fervent prayer saved me that very moment. And this car incident happened for He is worthy to be praised and glorified. 

I call this a miracle car accident. I'm a big believer on God's exceeding Grace, and He is still performing miracles if we allow ourselves to see it- God's way.

So I and the other driver walked around to the back of his car because I knew I hit his fender or anything near his trunk. He must have been shocked to see that there was no damage, not even a tiny dent or scratch. He tried to look at it again and I would think that he, too, was relieved. The God that I serve erased what was there. I was telling the guy that it is God's doing and I prayed over his car and I gave him a hug and he said it's okay.

That was an opportunity for me to share the faithfulness of God. I pray that what he witnessed today is a revelation of God's working power. And a lesson for me to be more mindful of my surrounding We sometimes grow complacent of not looking through the sideview mirror and rearview mirror because we think that we got it covered at this time already. But...thank God for "He make all things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

Romans 8:28 (KJV)
