Feeling Immortal?



A deer may not be an immortal being but God cares even about this deer!  How much more us who were made in the very image of God himself! (Genesis chap 1)


God has 'written eternity into our hearts! Ever wonder why God would do that? 

  The Bible talks about it in Ecclesiastes. Well, here may be the answer:

 This evening as I was watching the sun going down and talking to God in prayer, I felt Gods presence in my heart speaking to me. 

  Anyway, the message coming through to me from Gods Spirit was basically Gods love for me (and us) and I was telling God that I didn't really understand it all that much. So I asked God to explain a little.

 After this I felt light coming into my heart from God. Along with this light came the thought that not only was I merely loved but that God understood everything about me. I understand this concept intellectually but I'm not sure how much emotionally. But there was more to it than that. It was what I didn't understand about myself that was missing.

  It was then that I realized what God was saying. He had created our spirit to be eternal and that God wants to be near us forever. 

 We are not just passing things to Him. We are loved so deeply that He has made us eternal (and though our body will die - our spirit will not). When we believe Jesus came to save us from being shut out from God (hell) and cling to Him then he saves us and brings us back to his ultimate plan for us - to be our friend eternally. 

 We are THAT important! Wow! I felt overwhelmed!

I must also share with you that had I not backed up what I felt God saying to me with what the Bible says too then I would not have the peace inside that the message was truly from God. Some verses that sum up my thoughts here can be found in the following:

- Ecclesiastes where it says that god has put eternity in our hearts

-  The parable of the rich man and Lazerus, where the rich man lifted up his eyes in hell and seeing Lazerus across the divide (being in a good place) asked Lazerus to wet his tongue as he was burning.

- Where Jesus says "He who believes in me will never die."

There are many many more scriptures about it that I would be here all day writing them down. But these are a good start I think!

Thanks for your comments!

In Search of the Right One

Image
. Searching for the right person, or the one you can love for the rest  of your life  can be a long, almost unending search. .  I'm not a phycologist,  so all I can share with you is from my experiences in life. The one thing I'm sure of however, is that I never found a best friend by searching for one. All my best friends showed up by accident  while I was busy going about my life.  Being patient is usually an understatement. And the desire to have  that person you dream of can become so great, that it can drive you to extremes . Loneliness is a hard thing to deal with and not many people  are made for that kind of single lifestyle.  . The thing to remember is not to let those desires get the best of you. What I found is that it's best to find love where it originates - and that is with God.  . God loves you completely and unconditionally and understands you better than we understand our own selves.  In the Bible it says: "Fo...

Fulfilling Your God Given Destiny

  Welcome to Gods Beautiful Name!  I love sailing,hiking, personal motivation, business and sharing what I love with others! Feel free to check out all my exciting adventures at my websites below! . . This week I want to share with you:     Fulfilling Your God Given Destiny   You know, God has made each of us with special talents and abilities and a desire to succeed at using these talents for him to help others.  When we get caught in a rut and aren’t pushing forward to fulfill this destiny, then we lose our passion for life and find ourselves frustrated and “spinning our wheels”.  It’s also important to know however, that God loves us no matter where we’re at and no matter what we have achieved. Tomorrow is a new day and even the time we have left in our day is a good place to change gears and start thinking, dreaming and working again to fulfill this in our lives.  After listening to Joel Oilstone talk about this, I instantly realized what I lo...
