Reflection

I am wondering where the day has gone where people that went to the altar to pray were accompanied by someone else praying for them?  Maybe people are afraid of what people will think about them for going to the altar.  I know there are some Churches left where someone will come pray with you at the altar; but, I think it should be common place.

The reason I posted my photograph of the moon is because the moon has no light in it.  The light that illuminates the moon comes from the sun.  It is just a large reflector.  This is exactly what happens when we minister to the needs of one another.  I know in my life there have been times that I wished someone would put their arm around me and pray for me and my family.  Sometimes people pick up on the leading of the Holy Spirit.  To God be the glory!

I know that we all have opportunities in our lives to reflect Jesus to others.  The problem is that we do not always take these opportunities. Look at Matthew 5:14, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”

So, how are you doing?

Experiencing The Love of God Firsthand

The other day I received a friend request on facebook from someone that I do not know.  I checked on her friends and the one person we have in common is her Pastor and I love him dearly.  He is awesome!  Carol shared her testimony with me and so I had to share in part with you, my readers because it is a true testimony of the love of God.

Carol said, “…  I am a new christian and 63 yrs young. I started going to church with my best friend of 49 yrs.  I was brought to the Lord in September, baptized In October. I love the church my fellowship family and I smile all the time now. I finally found what I had been searching for. Pastor _____ is great I just love every one. I was raised. Catholic but for over ten yrs I felt empty till the day I walked Into _____ Church. I knew then I was done searching I found what was missing. And I have been praising the Lord ever since.”

I am going to to share with you again the verse that I used in yesterday’s blog post.  Here is Jeremiah 31:3, “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”  He just told you that He has loved you with an everlasting love; but, have you received it?

So, how are you doing?
