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

YES LORD?

"Do not worry about

your ability to hear God,

trust in God's ability

to speak to you."

Prayer is two-way conversation, after all.

And if I think Him too small to talk to me...

and His ability to make Himself heard too weak,

than I am of all men most miserable.

I've had enough one-way conversations in my

lifetime. This is one place, one conversation,

where I cannot settle for tid bits.

If I need take an hour to quiet my soul,

then that is what I must do.

God help me not settle for crumbs.

For it is not You Who is not able to speak,

but I who will not settle down

and be spoken to.

"Samuel... Samuel..."

"Yes, Lord, here I am..."

-1 Samuel 3:10

Inward Truth

By Jocelyne Sade

Letting pride,
Be crucified,
Humbly,
On bended knee,
Seek Him thoroughly,
His face to see.

Willful heart - when won,
Easier said - Thy will be done!
He in you is then created,
Carnal, for Spirit, is traded.
Let this be your goal -
All His, body, spirit and soul.

Behold, God sees
You on your knees.
Be simple, yes be true,
Be sure, He hears you.

He’ll spin you ‘round,
On His ground,
No game to play.
You, now but clay
For Him to mold
True and bold.

Trust your God
To strip the fraud.
To set you free,
Give integrity.
No more playing saint,
Foolish pharisaical paint!
Even words well spoken,
Can be worthless tokens.

Go ahead… sigh,
Your God is nigh.
He, resplendent,
You, repentant
Yet, now confident
At last, an honest heart!
Truth in the inward part!

“Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,
And in the hidden part, You will make me to know wisdom.”
Psalm 51:6
