Wouldn't Trade Nothing for My Journey Now



"And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey."
  - Matthew 25:15

Dear Friends,

In the twenty fifth chapter of Matthew we find the account of the imparting of talents and the actions taken by those receiving talents.

The Lord has gifted every one with talent.  Some refer to these as spiritual gifts.  Often individuals get distracted and do not make full use of what God has given because they are concerned about the talents of others.  

I thank God for the gifts He has given.  While I have not always made full use or good use of the gifts, God has been merciful. He is the God of another chance.  Each day an opportunity to start over.  It's another day's journey and I am glad. Wouldn't trade nothing for my journey now.

I am glad knowing that each moment of life is orchestrated by God.   I know as Roman 8:28 declares: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
Wouldn't trade nothing for my journey now.

God, Heavenly Father working all things out for the good of them who love Him and are the called according to His purpose.  I love God and I am one of the called.  Called to serve the Lord. Wouldn't trade nothing for my journey now.

God made me who I am.  Fearfully and wonderfully God made me.  Almighty God, leading, guiding directing my steps.  The journey, the adventure, the privilege of life.  Life with its ups and downs, with its joys and sorrows crafted by God's own hand. Wouldn't trade nothing for my journey now.

Thank you Lord for the journey.

God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....
