Inheritance

Every father on earth desire to and do leave an inheritance for their children. Most parents are prepared to live in lack and to sacrifice a lot of good things this life on earth has to offer so that they may be able to live a decent inheritance for their children. If our earthly fathers imperfect as they are, go to such lengths for their children's inheritance how much more our Almighty Father in heaven. He has an inheritance for me, for you.

The Israelites had an inheritance yet they lived in bondage in Egypt. They travelled to Canaan to possess their inheritance but along the way some beacame weary and fell along the way. In as much as we are destined to inherit  heaven and earth, we are not to be like the Israelites who lost it because they were stiff-necked.

Spring Forever in my Heart

Some people are like fragrant flowers. They come into our lives ever so briefly and leave behind a scent that remains embedded in our being. They brighten your day by just having had contact with them even if for a moment. If kindness would have scent it would remind you of them. Like when I smell pine, all the best Christmas memories rush through my mind. When I smell roses I think of romantic, moon filled evenings. Some people, having given so much to you, remain a part of who you are forever. You cannot possibly go through a day without thinking about them. Their beautiful spirit gently nudges your heart each time you hear their name. The very thought of them stirs within your soul like the sweet fragrance of a thousand roses. Loved ones who have passed on, having given their lives to you, having stayed in bloom through a life time of eternal Spring, are like these Lilacs. Although my heart is saddened having discovered that they are dying, I will not remember them that wa

Cast all your anxiety on him

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 All ye that labor and are heavy laden - may refer to a man who has a great load laid upon him or self infflicted: but must be carried. When we come to God as a Father, we must remember that he is Lord of heaven and earth, which obliges us to come to him with reverence as to the sovereign Lord of all; yet with confidence, as one able to defend us from evil, and to supply us with all good. Our walk here on earth is hard and we are burdened by divers trials and temptations, how consoling it is to know that Christ will give us rest. I am glad my Jesus knows. Hebrews 2:17 For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when he was te
