DESTINY

Draw Near – 365 Guides to Greater Intimacy with God
Tue Apr 3 Day 44 of 365.

Jeremiah 1:5  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.


We all are destine for good things, as Jeremiah states God knew us before we were formed, we may not be prophets, but in our own lives we are tho share the love of God with others.
 
God gives us the choice either to accept or reject our destiny. In Romans, Paul said that God desires us to be conformed to the image of His Son. This is our destiny. If we move with it, our world will be a warmer, finer place to live. If we balk, many may fail to hear of our Lord and, like the diabetics, will be merely a gathering of ghosts, bemoaning their fate.

Its a coice ; the question is who do we choose to serve.
As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

Passion Of Christ

April 9 2012

Last Night while flipping through The TV channels,  I stop at the passion of the Christ it was nearing the ending, Yet the most important part, when Jesus was being beaten and flogged. The clarity and vividness of that flogging was something that stirred my heart, down to the core, they used whips that tore parts of his flesh.  The Pharisees, Scribes and Saducees cheered on the crowds to incite insults at Jesus while he was being flogged, for each stripe he took I cried and cried my heart hurt. At that moment I was reminded of the price jesus paid for (my) mankinds sin. After the flogging they paraded him through the streets of Jerusalem to Golgatha where he was nailed to the cross and crucified. Satan was defeated on that Day. It was Man that seperated us from God and It was Man who returned us back to God.  John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth him should not parrish, but have eternal life.  John 14 :6 Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the father except through me.
