But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to Him through the Blood of Christ.
[Ephesians 2:13]

Be you therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us, and has given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.

Ephesians 5:1-2

 

 

“The Smell of Love”

 

 

Good Afternoon Beloved,

 

If love had a scent, what would it smell like.  Sweet, but not overpowering… strong, but not annoying maybe.  Fragrant.  This Sunday is Resurrection Sunday.  I can’t help but to think even more heavily than usual of the day it represents.  Something powerful happens when the people of God get on one accord.  Can you imagine… millions of believers all of the world celebrating our God and blessing Him for His atoning sacrifice on the same day.  Millions of us believing God for the hearts that are softened during this season… our new brothers and sisters that are about to be birthed into the Kingdom of God.  Now that is a scent I believe our Heavenly Father will relish in.  It is so exciting.  When I think of how much God loved us.  That He would send His only Begotten Son to be tortured by cruel men, and that He would ultimately end up dying on a rugged cross for you and me.  Even when we were not thinking about Him, we were on His mind.  He knew the penalty for our sin, and He made a way for our debt to be completely wipe away.  No wonder there is no salvation in any other.  Jesus was completely innocent, yet He willingly suffered all that He did, because He knew what horrors awaited us if He didn’t.  God sent His very best, and if the second person in the Trinity… the sinless, spotless Lamb of God, The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords isn’t ‘good enough’ for some people… they have determined their own fate.  There is no hope for those who belittle, mock and reject God’s Gift of Love, but for those who have accepted it, we have a treasure that we will not fully understand … until we stand before Him at His Throne…

 

…. and that Beloved is Good News!

 

U Blessed!

 

Have A Fabulous Evening!

Good Morning Beloved,

I hope you have a really great day… really great.  I love music.  A good song will express in words and melody, what the heart can not articulate.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD YOU
STEPPED DOWN INTO DARKNESS
OPENED MY EYES LET ME SEE
BEAUTY THAT MADE THIS HEART ADORE YOUHOPE OF A LIFE SPENT WITH YOU

CHORUS:
HERE I AM TO WORSHIP

HERE I AM TO BOW DOWN

HERE I AM TO SAY
THAT YOU’RE MY GOD
YOU’RE ALTOGETHER LOVELY
ALTOGETHER WORTHY
ALTOGETHER WONDERFUL TO ME

LEAD: KING OF ALL DAYS OH SO HIGHLY EXALTED, GLORIOUS IN HEAVEN ABOVE, HUMBLY YOU CAME TO THE EARTH YOU CREATED, ALL FOR LOVE’S SAKE BECAME POOR

(CHORUS )

VAMP:

I’LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST
TO SEE MY SIN UPON THAT CROSS

NO GREATER LOVE THAN ONE THAT WOULD LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A FRIEND

(CHORUS)

“Here I Am To Worship” Israel and New Breed (Live From Another Level)

…. No greater love than one that would lay down his life for a friend… What makes Jesus so amazing is that,

While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly. Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die. But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ’s Blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more [certain], now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin’s dominion) through His [resurrection] life.  (Romans 5:6-10)

Cartoonist’s Comment:

The Good News is that the pardon for your sins has already been given. But you need to accept it by faith.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I wanted to remember another great Christian Cartoonist .  Johnny Hart, B.C. Cartoonist, who went home to be with the Lord the day before Easter, 2007.  Johnny Hart’s widow has been quoted as saying, “he is in a better place.” But with a laugh, Bobby Hart she says she’s “mad at him,” because she “wanted to be there first.” She adds that they had hoped to go to heaven together in the Rapture.

The 76-year-old Hart often incorporated his Christian faith into his comic strip, including the one that appeared on Easter Sunday, the morning after his death.

Hart’s pastor says it’s appropriate that the Easter strip contained Jesus’ promise of resurrection and eternal life.

In March 1996, The Los Angeles Times refused to run his Palm Sunday strip, and a national uproar ensued, reaching even the Washington, D.C., talk show circuit. The strip had Wiley—a brooding, poet-wannabe in B.C.’s cast of characters—sitting against a tree, tablet in hand, writing a poem entitled “The Suffering Prince” —

Picture yourself tied to a tree,
condemned of the sins of eternity.
Then picture a spear,
parting the air,
seeking your heart to cut your despair.
Suddenly—a Knight, in Armor of White,
stands in the gap betwixt you and its flight,
And shedding His ‘Armor of God’ for you—
bears the lance that runs Him through.
His Heart has been pierced that yours may beat,
and the Blood of His Corpse washes your feet.
Picture yourself in raiment white,
cleansed by the blood of the lifeless knight.
Never to mourn, the Prince who was downed,
For He is not lost!
It is you who are found. 

U BLESSED,

Have A Wonderful Day

Regina
