Thoughts Reflections and Inspirations

When the first man and woman were created, they were in perfect relationship with their Creator. That was lost when they disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. Satan, the one who deceived them, gained control through sin, sorrow, sickness and death. Genesis 3

But Jesus, the Son of God, came into the world to buy us back out of Satan’s control, by His suffering and death. Our part is to confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, then we will be saved. Romans 10:9, 10. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9

Just how important is this? “He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.” I John 5:12. All are free to simply talk to God freely and He will hear us when we bring these matters to Him. This brings us into endless possibilities.

The same one who created the earth and the universe has a personal interest in you. He has given you a great many promises. Are you ready to believe them?

We have seen that God loves us. Can you believe this? If you can it will open the door to enter into the fullness of life that God had in mind in the first place. When you open your heart to receive His love, it puts you in a position to receive all his promises as well.

“What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8:31, 32

Think about the possibility of living a full life where you are sure that the Almighty One, the Creator of Heaven and Earth and mankind loves you and has your best interest in mind. And no matter what happens you know He is with you and will see you through every situation whether good or bad. This is His promise to us, yet so many never really find it. “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. These are the words of Jesus which show us a tremendous possibility. How do we make this possibility a reality?

How can we be sure that the One who created us really cares about us? After our first parents were created, they disobeyed God which brought the death sentence upon them and their descendants. (Genesis 3) Why did God not leave them to their own destruction then? He could have taken the approach, “Well, you had your chance and you blew it so you’ll just have to deal with the consequences I warned you about.” But he didn’t and why not? The answer is this, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:16-17. This is how we know He cares because, “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

How do you come to the right views and approach of life? “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom:” Proverbs 9:10. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 2:7. Life is from the Creator God himself. To know and to believe that is the foundation to understanding all of life.

You were created with a purpose known by the one who created you. There is no one exactly like you on the face of the earth, just like they say there are no two snowflakes exactly alike. No one can fulfill your purpose like you can. You are created unique and with a God given destiny. Whether you fulfill your destiny depends on what you do with your life.

You were created and born into this world for such a time as this. It is no accident that you are alive in 2018 because this was planned by the one who created you. Are you important then? Very much so to the One who planned your life. In fact He prizes you very highly. How can we be sure of that?

Life is a gift more valuable than any possessions a person may have. What you do with it is your decision. Some waste it, some destroy it, some shorten it, and others make the best of it. Some make a plan, others just let it happen. Some move forward with great inspiration while others are not enthused with anything. Some have no purpose in life while others have no clue. Somewhere in the middle of all this we find you!

Some places in the world, life is cheap to society. People die like flies from disease, aids, and starvation and it appears the dictators don’t care. Other places the children are regarded as a bother and are aborted, neglected, or rejected.

There is a place and a people that hold each other in high esteem. The old are important as well as the young, there life is precious without measure and it is seen and heard in words. Where is the foundation of such a vision and reality? How did they come to it?
