THE WONDER OF KNOWING GOD

THE WONDER OF KNOWING GOD

Many wonder if it is only in the imagination –

Saying that it really cannot be true;

In all reality life just is –

And then one day it is not.

Yet – what if one really does take a moment to consider –

How is it that your body really works?

How can it exist as it is?

And furthermore explain the intricacies of making another just like it.

Now take another moment to ponder –

Is it really all just a chance that the earth hangs in space?

Not only does it hang in space but at the exact point from the sun?

And also knows to rotate to provide adequate light and heat to all?

And now – one can come to ponder the wonder of God –

Come with an open mind –

Come with a teachable spirit –

Come prepared to meet a new friend –

A friend who will show you wonders within and around you –

A friend who will truly become one who is there all the time –

A friend like no other for He is with you wherever you are.

I have learned to know God as my very real friend - but I had to come to a point where I had two things - a teachable spirit and also an obedient heart. And  now I would like to introduce my dear friend to you.

Have a great day! June

IS TOMORROW THE LAST FULL DAY OF LIFE?

Is tomorrow the last day of the your life? Some would like us to believe that. Now if in fact it is the last day what will be different tomorrow? And not only what will others do differently - what will you do differently?
Or will you respond as the title of this blog encourages  -

What Are Your Thoughts?

 This is a quote from Cloud of Unknowing by Carman Butcher:
"We must teach ourselves self-control for two reasons: so that we don't lust after the wonderful necessities of life and so that we don't rejoice too much in the abssence or unpleasant and but soul-nourishing godly sorrow. If we don't learn spiritual discipline in these areas, the power of sensuality will run wild. Likea pig in the mud, it will wallow in filthy promiscuity and worldly possessions. At that point, a person's lifestyle is so beastly and carnal they cease to be human or in any way spiritual."
i am thinking that this would or could have been the answer to Bin Laden in fiding a better purpose for his life. But here is the challenge - how about you and I are - are we so far removed from this and so holy in our lives? I have really been challenged in the last 36 hours about my own spiritual condition and my attitude and response. What are your thoughts?
