GOD IDENTIFIED




I have a God who has made
Himself known, Who
has clearly
identified Himself. 
At the perfect time,
and at the perfect place.

































There is no question
that He has
reached out

to touch every
single one of us.


In this account (Luke 14:16-21),
He makes Himself fully known

and goes about His minstry
in deliberate and great fashion...

though many whisper and wonder.

Nevertheless, he continues
to touch
and heal
and love and redeem lives.





















I wonder... why is there such confusion
as to whether there is a God or not,
and Who He is?

A Loving Father is not anonymous.

A Loving Father does not say...

"OK, dear ones, I could be any one of
the many gods out there... and you
know, there are many ways to get to me.
I'm sure you can figure it out. 

Just keep trying... "

If we don't know God,
it is not because
He hasn't identified Himself,

it is because we don't want Him.

They didn't want Him back then either.










Love must be wanted.

"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish,
but have everlasting life."


John 3:16

BRIDAL JOY

There is something about a wedding
that is unmatched by any other event.

The mix of Love, Anticipation, Celebration...
Beauty everywhere... and all in one day!

A sort of Holy Blend...



And then...

the
bride.

N
othing is more beautiful than

the bride.




















She can take your breath away.

She does take your breath away.


If perchance a wedding is
a rushed
affair, you will find
many willing to loan,
give,
beg,
borrow,
steal...
in order that the occasion
be a beautiful one.

It is understood.

But have you heard?

Have you heard
of the grandest
wedding of all?

A King is soon
to be married!


Have you read the news?








 


He is coming for his Bride.
Do you know her?

Oh How He Loves Her.
Fusses over her.
Would even die for her.






















OH Blessed Church...

Beautiful Bride of the Son...

Are there whispers of joy
in your house...
things being done
and prepared...
beauty being thought of
in every possible way...
Is there love in the air...
and great anticipation
motivating all to be ready?

Are YOU ready?

Oh Please Be ready!










Your Groom is at the door!

Fear Not!!!


















Fear destroys power.
Fear steals victory,
says "run and hide",
says "I can't", "I won't", "I mustn't!"
Fear talks too much.
Fear is a big fat bully.
Don't let it bully you.

Perfect Love casts out fear.

(Ha! What Love???
Fear surrounds me, and pounds me.
I'm as the woman caught in adultery.
And I can't even get up.
I'm tired.
I'm afraid.

Many mock and say -
Where is her God?
Where is her help?)

I'll show them.

Because
Perfect Love casts out fear.
God - I'm Waiting.
On You.

Just as I am.
