A Generous God

Diamonds, the more I realize how generous God is, I can't help but to think about how He gives, and then He gives more and an image of someone pouring water into my bossom where the water is overflowing and it is in abundance. I just can't understand how God can be so good to me when I have not always and still not consistently good. I fail Him everyday and yet He allows me to enter in and ask for forgiveness. I can't even imagine not being able to ask someone for forgiveness and condemnation and judgment are all that's on the table for me to receive. I can't imagine, not being pardoned for my sins and even after I have admitted my wrong doing, there was nothing but punishment but Lord, blessed is she whose sins are forgiven. You not only forgive, but you don't hold my sins against me. My sins you forget and withhold the punishment I deserved all because of your Son Jesus. Jesus's blood permitted it to be so because He shed his blood and where there is shed blood, there is remission of sin. You no longer see my sins but you have cleansed me from them and gave me a new start. A clean and fresh new start, a new beginning God and regadless of the amount of money, what car I drive, the places I have visited, the biggest and baddest home I can live in can ne'er compare to being forgiven. Thank you for your goodness and mercy. Thank you for your grace. Thank you for making all things new. Thank you for making impossible possible because I can have hope in you. Lord I just wanted to say thank you....thank you for your goodness. Thank you Lord for your generosity. Thank you Lord for being my God.

No Room For Excuses!

There was this young woman diagnosed with leukemia and she spent a considerable amount of time in cancer treatment facilities.   Everyone that came in contact with this young lady always referred to her as remarkable, and resilient. It baffled them how she was able to keep such a sweet spirit considering all she has endured.  The doctors and medical specialists couldn't understand it. When they would shake their heads, she opened her heart and then began to testify of God's goodness in the midst of the storm. When the doctors came in with some "bad news" she was quick to tell them about the hope she had in Christ Jesus. Again, they couldn't understand how she could believe in a God that allowed her to experience so much suffering. Politely she would explain that her suffering is not a death sentence or a reflection of God's lack of love for her. In her suffering she experiences the grace of God that others in her weakness may witness His strength. ...

Naked & Ashamed

"Naked & Ashamed!" Do you remember a time when you felt naked and ashamed? Perhaps you are feeling naked right now having discovered you are pregnant when others were unaware that you were even having premarital sex. What if you discovered you have a STD or the person you thought cared so much about you and who you surrendered your virginity to broke up with you. To heighten the issue, your ex has just told his boys or her girls about how you didn't live up to their expect ations in bed. Well, let me tell you a story about Adam & Eve who sinned against God and afterwards they experienced what we could call, "the walk of shame." So much so that they tried covering themselves up by making a covering with fig leaves and they hid from God. The Bible says, "Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame," Gen. 2:25. (NLT) "Naked" my friends and "felt no shame" are in perfect harmony; there are no barriers and no ...

Diamonds, there was a young person a part of her church's youth group and she shared that she wanted a job in a strip club. "The strip club," they asked? "Yes, the strip club. There is a job opening as a cook and while I'm there I want to share the gospel with the strippers," she explained to her youth group. Well, her youth leader, along with her youth group carpooled to the strip club and prayed over the building in the dead of winter. They then proceeded by writing her work sc hedule down after she got the job and when she was scheduled to work, they each agreed to pray. After the young person ministered to the other young women in the strip club and introduced them to Jesus Christ, they responded by coming into the church, giving their lives to Christ and made the decision to change occupations. What an awesome testimony of God's love, light, and grace being dispensed into the world! May this testimony encourage someone to follow God's ...
