For we walk by faith, not by sight..
2 Corinthians 5:7

Good Morning Beloved,

Things are not always as they appear.  I remember 2 high school friends, who told me in later years, that they were afraid to approach me.  They thought I was mean and did not want to be bothered.  The truth was I was shy and quiet — in the beginning, but once you got to know me watch out!  That is why it is not good to make assumptions, based on limited knowledge.  The same is true in our Christian journey.  We see many things with our eyes that sometimes directly contradict what God has already told us.  We say, “God, companies are laying off people in droves, businesses are shutting down, the economy is under the toilet”… God said He would, “supply all of our need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippian 4:19)“…  We say, “But God, so many Christians are suffering from crippling depression, thoughts of suicide, anger issues, and mental instability”…  He said, “greater is HE that is within you, then he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)“… We say, “I don’t understand how a loving and powerful God could allow such terrible things to happen” … He said, “trust in ME with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge ME and I will direct your path (Proverbs 3:5)“.. We say, “but God, people who name the name of Christ are dishonoring themselves, compromising and discarding their faith left and right”… He said, “I am the Good Shepherd; I know MY own sheep, and they know ME, (John 10:14) … We say, “yeah, but I don’t feel like a child of God all the time”… HE said, “I will never leave, nor forsake you (Hebrew 13:5)…” … “I am with you always even until the end of this world (Matthew 28:20)“… We say, “God, it’s hard to trust someone we cannot see”… and He says, “blessed are those who believe and have not seen (John 20:29)“… Things are not always as they appear. Things are happening behind the scenes.  Things we would not believe and could not understand right now.  But our senior saints can tell you, we’ll understand it better…. by and by…  Now I know that assaults our information driven psyche.  We have all sorts of knowledge at our fingertips.  We want answers and we want them now.  Good.  Seek answers.  God is never intimidated by an honest question, coming from a sincere heart.  He invited us to “come and reason together with Him“…

… and that Beloved Child of God is Good News!

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Day!

Truth vs. Lies -Proverbs 12:19 111 of 112   Colossians 2:15 tells us that Jesus disarmed the powers and authorities…triumphing over them by the cross. The only weapons Satan has left to him are his lies, but they are no match for the truth of God’s Word. February 15, 2009

Jungle Guide -John 16:13 100 of 112   This world can seem as a dark, impenetrable jungle of various doctrines and beliefs. But, we have the map of God’s Word, and we have a guide, the Holy Spirit, to help us find the path of truth. November 2, 2008

JUST FOR FUN….

Pretty Cool  Don’t ask me!  I don’t know how it’s done!!   ——————————————————- Read out loud the text inside the triangle below.  More than likely you said, ‘A bird in the bush,’! and. …….  if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see  that the word THE is repeated twice!  Sorry, look again.  Next, let’s play with some words.  What do you see?  In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter).      Now, what do you see?  You may not see it at first, but the white spaces read the word optical, the blue landscape reads the word illusion. Look again! Can you see why this painting is called an optical illusion?  What do you see here?  This one is quite tricky!  The word TEACH reflects as LEARN.  Last one.  What do you see?  You probably read the word ME in brown, but…….  when you look through ME you will see YOU!  Do you need to look again?   Test Your Brain  This is really cool. The second one is amazing so please read all the way though.                                   ALZHEIMERS’ EYE TEST     Count every ‘ F ‘ in the following text:  FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE  SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI  FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH  THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS…  (SEE BELOW)  HOW MANY ?  WRONG, THERE ARE 6 – no joke.  READ IT AGAIN !  Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F’s before you scroll down.    The reasoning behind is further down.  The brain cannot process ‘OF’.     Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!  Anyone who counts all 6 ‘F’s’ on the first go is a genius.                      Three is normal, four is quite rare.  Send this to your friends.  It will drive them crazy.!  And keep them occupied  For several minutes..!      look at the spinning woman and if she is turning right your right side of your brain is working If she is turning left your left side of your brain is working . If she turns both ways for you then you have a 160 or better IQ  More Brain Stuff .  From Cambridge University .  Olny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.  I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty  uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig  to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can s itll raed it wouthit a porbelm.   Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs psas it on  !!
