Dying to Self

But GOD! What about Me?

I've waited so long for an answer.

My new motto is;

PATIENCE practiced here!

Look at me, don't I deserve an answer for all of my service and hard work to advance your Kingdom?

Reward me! please.

But Father GOD lovingly replied,

"Die to self; die to self-pity; die to your will; die to grandiosity ; crucify the flesh and wait on My promises."

YES LORD! YES to Your will and Your Way.

I surrender ALL!

"Come to Me and I will give you rest," Matthew 11:28.

GOD's Light

Psalm 119:105

It is awesome to think about the power that light has. One little flicker can dispel a room full of darkness, or illuminate dark corners in the mind and soul.

Jesus is the true light to a world engulfed in darkness. His light shines in the darkness, but the world refuses to comprehend and is lost. The path to eternal life and happiness is obscured by folly and mirth.

Arise, shine; for the light is come..Let the Light in.

Receive JESUS!

FORGIVENESS

WE ALL SUFFER from MANY HURTS and DISAPPOINTMENTS daily. Some become lodged in our memories only to fester and grow into unhealthy emotions. If they are not dealt with immediately they become roots of unforgiveness that will lead to bitterness, resentment, and deep hurt.

These emotions, in turn, will produce an offspring of cancer and arthritis.

Forgiveness is the key element in healing relationships, your spirit and emotions.

A favorite Pastor of mine said,"

"Forgiveness empties the pain from your heart."

That is probably why Father God said to forgive.
And Jesus prayed,

"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

"For thou LORD are good and ready to forgive, and abundant in loving kindness to those who call on you," (Psalm 86:5).

Unforgiveness is a sin. Matthew 6:14-15 & Matthew 18:21-35.

Likewise, in Psalm 103:1-4, it says,

" He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases;...

First there is the sin, then there is the disease.

Forgiveness is an act of the will. You must choose to forgive. Then repent and ask the LORD's forgiveness for harboring anger, resentment, bitterness, retaliation, etc.. Then your release and healing will come.

Everyone needs to be forgiven; even you! And especially me!!

GOD is good!!

Which way to go Father God? Psalm 16 :11

Which way to take? I am at the fork in the road and I need to hear from you now!

Faith? That's your answer Faith? Meaning pray, believe and step-out?

I hear You saying that You will never leave me or forsake me. Just believe.

Yes LORD! I say yes LORD! I believe.

The first step is always the hardest, but the goodness of God will not fail. I must trust Him more and more so that I will know the pleasure of His rest and peace.
May God always be glorified in my life.

CONSECRATION

KEPT FOR THE MASTER'S USE

(To know Him is to love Him)

ABANDONED

Utterly abandoned to the Holy Ghost!

Seeking His fullness at whatever cost;

Cutting all the shore lines, launching in the deep

Of His mighty power - strong to save and keep.

Utterly abandoned to the Holy Ghost!

Oh, the sinking, sinking until self is lost!

Till the emptied vessel lies broken at His feet;

Till His rich infilling make the work complete.

Utterly abandoned to the will of God!

Seeking but the lowly path that my Master trod;

Leaving ease and pleasure, making Him my choice;

Waiting for His guidance, list'ning for His voice.

Utterly abandoned! no will of my own-

Now and for eternity, His and His alone;

All my plans and purposes lost in His sweet will;

Having nothing, yet, in Him owning all things still.

Utterly abandoned! Tis so sweet to be captive in His bonds of love, yet be wholly free!

Free from sins' entanglement; free from doubt and fear,

Free from carnal worry, burden, grief and care.
