A Clouded Mirror

"For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) I believe that God doesn't want us to have all the answers, even about Him. If we did, WE would be God. Instead, He wants us to turn to Him with all our questions, inquiries, and for direction. Gid wants us to lean on Him for direction and find the answers through Him. He even supplied us with an instruction manual called The Holy Bible. God doesn't want us to be able to see everything now. He wants us to take that leap of faith, when we move forward, trusting in Him. Sometimes, He wants us to gradually see the big picture so that as the big picture unfolds we can see His workmanship in it.
Some day we will have all the answers and be able to see things more clearly, but for now God wants us to lean on Him, have faith and read The Holy Bible. Love, Beau

For the Beauty of the Earth

"And one cried to another and said: 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!'” (Isaiah 6:3 NKJV) Everywhere you turn there are glorious and wonderful things handcrafted by God...trees, sky, clouds, flowers, birds, grass, bodies of water, cats, dogs, other humans...just to name a few. The earth, and the entire universe is full of His glory! All are amazing miracles of God! If you have ever taken to stop to meditate on the wonders of nature, ANY life, or just the universe in general, you might have thought how amazing everything is. I know I have! It feels my heart with wonder, praise, and thankfulness for everything around me. The earth is full of the beauty of God, His glory, and the miracles He created! So, the next time you stop to admire a flower, blooming tree, or just star gaze, also take a minute to thank God for them (and for ALL He created)! Love, Beau

Choose

"...choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, ... But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” (Joshua 24:15 NKJV) God wants your undivided attention. When you try to serve more than one master your loyalties are divided. You know how it is when you're pulled in several directions at once! You cannot give one or the other your undivided attention, therefore properly serving any of them. You have to choose. There's no other way. If you pay more attention to money, your job, popularity, or anything else over God, THAT is your master. Even though God doesn't make you and gives you a choice, God wants you to choose HIM, and follow HIM. All He ask in return is that you have faith, trust and believe in Him, and let Him lead the way. What He will give you in return is eternal life, glory, honor, and a share in His kingdon. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me! (But, it's YOUR choice.) "...choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...." Choose God, choose eternal life! Love, Beau

Heirs to the Kingdom

"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus...And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise...The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together..." (Galatians 3:26, 29; Romans 8:16-17) If you follow God, and have faith, then you are a child of God. If you are a child of God, then you, along with Jesus, also inherit the kingdom of God!! Yep, it's true! The Holy Bible says so!! You will inherit the kingdom, and everything that comes along with it...all the glories and riches and powers of the kingdom! What an awesome blessing and a gift! I don't know about you, but that takes my breath away. Rejoice and be glad, for yours is the kingdom of God!! Love, Beau

Follow Jesus - Inherit a Kingdom, Live Forever!

"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:" (John 1:12 NKJV) God states that all you have to do to enter the kingdom of Heaven is to accept Christ into your heart, make Him your personal savior, and follow His ways. That's it! Follow Jesus. However, Until you completely lose your life and yield your life to God, then you have not yet totally given your life to Him. You must give yourself totally over to Him, so that He can work through you. If you do profess God as your savior, follow only Him, then you will have a place in Heaven! "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven." (John 10:32-33 NKJV) If this is what you truly desire, and haven't already, then take a moment now and pray, "God I believe in You and I completely trust in You. I give my life completely to you to do Your will. It is no longer I that lives, but You that lives and works through me. Use me, mold me. In Christ's name, I pray. Amen."

Through It All

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 4:19 NKJV) God made you and He is also all knowing. Even before you ask God knows what your needs are and has already anticipated for them. However, make no mistake that a need is different from a want. God says He will supply all your NEEDS. He never says He will supply all your wants. Also, even when God says no, he anticipates your NEEDS for that response. And, if He says no, and God knows it will be hard, cause tribulation and hardship, and upset, He is prepared and will help you get through it. God gets you through EVERYTHING whether or not it's by something He chose..or not. "For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope." (Romans 15:4 NKJV) So, no matter what is going on, hang on to God's word and be comforted. Love, Beau

"Love One Another (And Yourself)..."

"You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates...What then? Are we better than they? Not at all...Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself " (Deuteronomy 24:14; Romans 3:9a; Phillipians 2:3) God sees everyone of us as equal. He does not go by race, wealth, or any other way we have of judging ourselves better than others, or that someone is better than us. We are ALL equal in God's eyes. We are not to look down on others and treat them poorly. It is a very haughty and self-righteous attitude if we do...something God hates! We are to treat each other with love, respect, compassion, sensitivity, and compassion. "Love others even as I have loved you." The reverse is also true. We should hold ourselves up to be equal as others, and have the same esteem for ourselves as we do others. Everyone is equal in God's eyes!! So, love one another, but love yourself just as much!!
