Are you lost? Do you want to be found?

When I Fall by Katy Nicole

Are you lost? Christians and non-Christians alike hit seasons in their life when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Good news, feelings are not facts, they’re just feelings and this too shall pass. If you’re anything like me that last sentence made you cringe, a little angry or if you’re willing, gave you a different perspective. Which leads me to my next question.

Do you want to be found? Specifically, by God? Most of us put God in a corner, in our most desperate times, in an attempt to fix the problem ourselves. We fail to realize, God, doesn’t care how you got there, He only cares that you want Him in all areas of your life. Even the messy parts, yes, the really messy stuff that you probably even contributed to, rather indirectly or directly. God just wants to be with you. That’s why He created you. You were created for the sole purpose of being in relationship with God. It was His plan before you were ever born.

No matter where you’ve been. No matter what you’ve done or how far you’ve run, He’s there, waiting to find you. So I’ll ask you again, “Do you want to be found, by Him? Are you aware that you’re lost and need Him?”

“What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭12‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Dear Lord, I am lost and ready to be found by YOU! Like a wandering sheep, I had no idea how bad things would get apart from You. I just want to be in Your presence, in Your care and lead by You. Amen

Happy Resurrection Day!

Death could not hold Him down!

Just when the enemy thought he’d won, the stone began to roll, Jesus rose with a good morning stretch, folded His grave clothes, and placed them on the alter. (My paraphrase)

You may feel defeated but thank God feelings are not fact. They are simply an indicator to what’s going on inside your heart and soul. Like the indicator light on the dashboard of a vehicle. The fact is, we win with Jesus. Every time, every day, every circumstance. Not even death could hold Him down, darkness cannot comprehend His light. Defeat is impossible when all things are possible with Jesus.

Today is a great day to resurrect the living God in your heart.

Prayer

Lord, I believe that You were born of a virgin, sent by God the Father, to conquer sin and death for me. You were crucified, and on the third day, You rose from the dead. You ascended onto heaven and are preparing a place for all who believe! I believe! Help me with my doubt as I walk this out! In Jesus name, amen!

Sunday’s are a day of rest

Open your Bible. Go to Church.

“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

It is Palm Sunday. The first day of Holy Week. As we prepare to celebrate the empty tomb, the risen King and the focal point of our faith in Jesus, open your Bible and go to Church.

If you’re looking for God, He is closer than you think. He never disappoints the seeker. The presence of God in your life is meant to be accepted not necessarily found. Let me explain. God is not hiding. He is out in the open, arms open wide, waiting patiently to lavish on you the love He has always had for you, long before you acknowledged or were curious about His existence. God’s existence is not dependent on your belief of Him, however your eternal destination is absolutely dependent on accepting His existence.

Prayer~Lord, I long to know You and experience Your presence until I know the love you carry for me. Amen.

“I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:17‬ ‭ESV‬‬
