Intimacy Lost Intimacy Eternal Gained

Intimacy Lost  Intimacy Eternal Gained
 
 
     Intimacy is an interesting experience for human beings who need even crave very special relationship.  In youthfulness it appears more physical that it really is, and the physical can change with the aging process even degrade. Intimacy can also be lost when a loved one transitions to the next life leaving a grieving person behind to re-identify themselves and seek to live on one day at a time.  Even more tragically is intimacy lost when an spouse decides that "the grass is greener on the other side" and goes seeking it elsewhere leaving the other feeling abandoned, broken and alone. This too requires a daily identity change as the life journey continues on.
 
     However, there is an identity that will never end and it is eternal.  God offers it freely and with only the condition that you believe in Him and trust him to walk with you through each day.  And according to Psalm 139, he expresses this love in 7 specific ways. Take time to sit quietly for a while with your favorite drink in a quite place.  Read this Psalm and consider these 7 ways God expresses his love to you. 
 
 
1.  God Knows You, And He Keeps Safe:   Psalm 139:1-6
 
 
2.  God Knows Where You Are At All Times And Lovingly Watches Your Every Move: Psalm 139: 7-10
 
 
3.  God Watches Over You In Your Brightest and or Darkest Times. You Are Never Alone: Psalm 139:11-12
 
 
4.  God Created You, and He Creates You: Psalm 139:13-15
 
5.  God Has A Purpose Filled Plan For Your Life: Psalm 139:16
 
6. God Thinks  Of You All The Time:  Psalm 139:17-18
 
7.  God Will Accept Your Invitation For Guidance And Lead You Every Step Of Your Day:  Psalm 139:23-24
 
 
Jesus the Son of God, who is one with God the Father and The Holy Spirit,  has and does express His love for you in these ways and many more, even to the point of laying down His life for you. So take a refreshing mini-retreat and abide with this precious Psalm (even for a little while)  where God expresses His eternal/unfailing love for you. Take time out to think about  these eternal ways that God expresses His love for you each day until all eternity.  Then be blessed today... especially Today.

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

Image
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." ...
