"Good Reception"

But as many as received Him, to them HE gave the power to become Children of God. John

I was in a fare size edifice the other day, an ye olde Droid just did NOT receive a signal... not even one bar.  Now it did NOT matter that this is one of those 4G jobbies.  It just did not work.  It did not matter that it has the capability, when it comes on to say the way cool "Droid." This fine peace of technological material was worthless and failed miserably to live up to its identity?  Why?  Simple.  NO connection. 


Long time ago I did make a connection.  I opened up may heart to receive by faith Jesus... whom I firmly believe is unquestionably the Son of God and one with God... if you get my drift.  Ever since I received Him, I received the special stuff to be enough to truly live, character flaws and all. 

Oh I do have my good days, bad days, happy days and sad days.  I do have those times when I am up, and I have those days when I am down.  I have those days when I smile and those days when I frown.  I have those days when I am weak, and I when I am strong... not to mention stuff inbetween.  But it's not the same as merely existing because in receiving him, unlike ye olde droid, I always get the signal and He never will disconnect.

You see it's a faith journey.  It's a "whosoever believeth in Him" journey.  And this journey with Jesus demonstrates clearly that "Life is indeed and adventure!" 


I hope you chose to have 'good reception."  I hope you hold on the the Lord's hand (one day at a time one step at a time ... and do so by faith.

Then I pray
Your WILL be Blessed Today
Especially Today
Sojourner

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
