Light

You are the light to my heart and my soul,You are the light to the darkness around me, You are the hope to the hopeless and broken You are the only Truth and the Way. Jesus....As I rode into to work on my tan horse no in the car. I was listen to the radio and they ask what does the name Jesus mean to you. Of course my mind filled with so many things. As the day has gone on 12 hrs later. The key thing that Jesus is to me is light. My way get so cloudy throughout the day with major emotional roller coaster but when I think of Jesus as the Light all confusion has light shed on it. I mean even if my heart feels dark and tar. I think of Jesus and I mean light from all of His perfection, greatness and all His ways are shed right on the situtation. To me Him being the light highlights all of His attibutes because looking at who man is men including the dark nature shadows us.Looking at Jesus and those who know Him as Eternal life get sprinked on by all His light it reveals to us our sin and how we are so desparte for a life saver. Who do you say Jesus is what word or words best describe your view of Jesus? So as I end my work day and think of the next rapidly following I think of Jesus the Light.

Come to Jesus

I was a wretch undone living in a world of sin had no hope had no peace within but somebody told me, they told me what Jesus did how He gave His life died for my sin now i'm justified, i'm santified, I'll glorify His Holy name. Just come to Jesus do it right now.
If you come to him He'll set you free. If you come to Him He'll give you hope....

Come to Jesus rings in my ear from 2009 to 2010.Year 2009 was very off balanced for me. I guess it takes a while to get adjusted to new places, people,and things. Now that I think back to then all I had to do was truly come to Jesus. Everything wither sucess or trial. Before I thought of it as a invitation for the unbeliever that has proved me to be wrong by a sermon I heard recently. This to is for me the born again believer. So this year I have no resolution just a friendly reminder for my weary soul. Come to Jesus and do it right now. So if you would firmly yet friendly but not self-rightously remind me to Come to Jesus. I will by the help of the Holy Spirit encourage you to do the same.

Jesus and Jesus Alone

I love You, I love You, I love You Lord today. You paid the price for me way back on Calvary. That's why I praise you I lift you up and I magnify Your name. Oh how my heart is filled with praise. My heart, my mind, my Soul belongs to You.....This song reminds me of the closeness of Jesus and how He and He alone is all my inner most being should long to embrace. Today I just thought about the faultiness of man and how the Lord Jesus is immutable. He is the only one that's there always the word of God says He sticks closer than a brother.Proverbs 18:24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin,But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Often times I depend my joy upon the status of my friends and family. As that song came to my mind I was reminded of the deepness of the verse.. My heart my mind my soul belongs to You. That is to the Lord Jesus. So the joy sang in that song is the same joy that should reign in my heart as my days are a going. Instead of the hurt and bitterness of those around me. For because of what Jesus did on my behalf why should I have a consistent glow for Him and intern for others. No matter the circumstance.Another example that comes to mind is like on Wednesday night at the DWYL concert,I was willing to praise the Lord in the sweltering heat. Nothing could spoil the joy of worshipping Jesus. Not even the sweat that weighed me down.So I must remember what belongs to Jesus...my Heart, Mind and Soul. I gotta give Him everything

At the feet of Jesus

We fall down
We Lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
We cry Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb

The greatness of your mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
We cry holy holy holy is the Lamb

What a great place to sit and rest at the feet of Jesus. On this Lord's day, sleep deprived and all I heard the gospel message proclaimed and it caused me to first to look deep within to see if I earnestly knew, how can a man be in the right before God? In my heart I rejoiced that I can be right and am right with God because of what the Lord Jesus did on my behalf and man's behalf. So, I reflect back to waht I heard and this song came to mind. The sermon sent me to worship the holy lamb that was worthly to be righteouness on my behalf that flames up the fire and joy from early coversion. So I am reminded how I must cast down all my crowns the things that I hold high and bow before the King.In thanksgiving and awe of His mercy and love. The only true with no string attached mercy and love at the feet of Jesus.Great reminder to return to the feet of my first love.

Thinking on the night shift

When I'm on the night shift I have so much more time to think. Some would say too much time to think (12Hr shift). Many things I ponder are about the Lord. I am often amazed at Him and His Glory. I was thinking tonight just how great He is and how the testimony of His greatness that I can cling to is that from the scriptures and what He has done in my life and what He continues to do. It has to take the saving power of Jesus to keep me. Often I feel the power of sin trying to redeem itself but the Jesus that saved me, defeats the power of sin from reigning. Whereas when I was lost in my trespasses and sin there was no fight. Sunday, I believe it was Sunday PK that's my pastor, he was explaining how God was the Christian's shield.He expanded the definition by saying he is our buckle. You know like a belt buckle that hold your belt that holds your bottoms. He supported it by Scripture's from the Psalms. Like Psalms 3:3,5:12,7:10,18:2,30,35. My favorite being Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless. So praise be to God for the life has been created in me and how he continues to be my shield and hold my life together. For He desires to be that to all men. Who reject the ways of the flesh and cling to the ways of Jesus Christ. To think and think about the Lord provokes me praise to Him. For my old thoughts were encompass by ways to praise me. So I'll continue to sit back and ponder the things of God. Until He shows Himself faithful and rises the sun in the morning, also the end of my shift. Think about the things of the Lord..........
Psalms 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
