I Saw The Light

Wow! What a testimony I heard this morning, thank you Mr. Paul Flowers. You are an inspiration to me. Yes, you are right it is hard to believe that Jesus Loves us so. He loves us in spite of all the things we do (good or bad)! As you and Mrs. Gale and Mr. One Man Band aka Donald sang, "No more darkness; no more night. Praise the Lord I saw the light". You guys sound just wonderful together! I hope to hear more songs by you guys in the near future! Paul I am thankful you shared your life story with us, a brave Christian leader you are indeed. Thank you.

Again, thank you visitors for choosing to fellowship, worship with us, and sing praises to our magnificent Lord, Jesus Christ! Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! I hope you all had a pleasant experience today. I am just excited about you all being here!

I Marvel At Your Creation!

"O Lord, our Lord,

How excellent is Your name in all the earth,

Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
For you have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
All sheep and oxen-
Even the beasts of the field,
The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!"
Psalms 8

What is man that you are so mindful of me?

How wonderful it feels to sing of his praise. To read scripture and understand and to just be in awe of God and all he has done / does/ and will do! The book of Psalms is beautiful, and even so God is worthy of so much more! With this statement being made and acknowledged as fact, how then can I even begin to explain the question that Brother Larry presented to us today! How can a marvelous, miraculous, wonderful God, think so much of me. Think so much of me that he is mindful of me. A me of over billions of individuals? Yes, it is true every single person he knows. We are all His creation! And you know what he knows us. Not just kind knows us like a passing friend or close sister, He really knows us! God Loves Us, Each and Every one of Us!!!

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nation."

Jeremiah 1:5

How Precious Every Individual is to God!

Really, there is just no way I could ever sing the praise of my Lord any more wonderfully than David, so just read on and let his words be an inspiration to you. The words need no paraphrasing, the message is clear!

God Knows Me!

"O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high I cannot attain it.
Psalms 139:1-6

I am Captured By God's Hand!

"Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me",
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed the darkness shall not hid from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.
Psalms 139:7-12

I am Fearfully and Wonderfully made

"For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
Psalms 139:13-16

God Loves me and you and you and you... all of us he thinks of individually more than the sands of the earth! WOW!

"How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.
Psalms 139:17 & 18

Our God is and awesome God! For sure, he not only created everything upon the earth, He created us from mere substances. And He knows us better than we know ourselves. He is never surprised by our actions or words because he knows what we are going to say and do before we say or do it! He knows our thoughts. He knows our inner most desires. He knows! And guess what? He still LOVES US!!! He loves us so much that when we make a poor decision or bad choice, that He knew we would make, He waits. Yes, waits for us to ask him for forgiveness. Then he forgives, if we ask. Oh my, how He Loves us! I saw the light…

God Loves You!

Thank you Lord for all you have given me.
Thank you Lord for loving Me.
Thank you Lord!

"Thy word, have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou O Lord: teach me thy statutes."
Psalms 119:11 & 12

Just Serving Jesus by growing stronger through praising my Awesome Lord!
