Faith at the Centre of It All

Reason and belief will always be challenged. It is not left alone even for a moment. We are constantly checking our frame of reference. I’m driving I need to check my surroundings and I’m living I need to check the time. Am I in a place of refuge and safety or am I in a place where I need to save my self from danger? This is what I have experienced lately. I am not alone in this hope filled world of doubt and fear.

Both changes and staying the same is fear inducing and needs to be tackled with faith. I am a child of the living, not the God of the dead. Where I am each day matters and I need to set my sights on this achievement alone, that I am found in Him. I am found with hope and will always be a child who is greatly and wonderfully loved.

I set my eyes upon this, that I am sound in Him, that I am sound with love in my heart for God gave away closeness to His only son to have me in Him. Even when my heart is torn between grace and feeling unworthy I am found at the centre of His love through knowing I am His beloved.

I made a choice to set my souls doubt aside and believe I am made in the very likeness of God. He made me for love and this love is setting my hopes on what I can not see. I can not see God at work in my life always. There are moments I am made for a place I can not be. Heaven is a place I want to be in and I am made for it, yet I find a place of hope in the very truth that God is with me, journeying with me, standing next to me, willing, longing me to reach out to Him.

I hope we don’t seek his face for gain. I hope our love is to set us asleep with this knowledge, that today we made the choice to live in Him. We are and always will be at the centre of His heart. We are and always will be a voice of hope in this world of darkness and despair. We have made a very important leap of faith in that, while we were in the womb, waiting to be brought into this world, our hearts were being formed and our mind was needing love. While we were gaining our feet in life, walking, running and biking our way round the block, our hearts need love.

This love is always a faith process. It’s never a quick fix scenario. It’s alway a process of getting to know you Lord and I feel privileged to call you my friend.

Found in the Arms of Grace

I was use to walking along the road with no one to guide me in which way I was to go. Now I see the way is a narrow road, not broad, that leads to life (John 7:13-14). I am able to see a piece of grace as a gift from God’s hand, not a limitation that restricts me from seeing his love. So I press forward toward the goal of receiving Christ as my inheritance. This I do, forget what is behind and press forward toward the heavenly calling we have in God’s son Jesus (Philippians 3:14). For I was once lost in sin, unable to see, deaf from all the drowning noise of chaos and lost in my own pride of life. I thought I was alone because there was no one who could save me. Yet I was only dead due to a decision to forget who I as made to be. I am now in the light, not of life alone, but also of God’s grace. I leave my baggage of tormented soul to enter a new age of transformation. Like a butterfly I used to crawl, now I saw above the wind and lift up above the waves. In the start o...

Favoured

Now the favour in your life will carry you so far. Where will it carry you? To love. Now love looks like something. Often love takes the form of submission to another and their will. Yet coming to know the one who made you is the first step in coming to favour that flows. Rivers start with a trickle and end in a stream. The collective of so many droplets of water can cause the stream to bulge, bursting its banks. This bulging can be related to the formation of character in our soul. This soul flooded with love is favour again and again pouring through. The first part of love is to see we are made in the image of God and then made for His glory. These two cement the first of which is grace upon grace then acting upon this revelation, we all seek the glory of God. So what is the power we seek? Is it just that we are to be known by Him and make Him known by love? Let’s look at this. It’s profound that love can take us deeper into the foundation of the gospel. Love can fin...

Way Maker - Art of Letting Go and Allowing God to Secure your Life in Him

Photo by Osman Rana on Unsplash Words and fear have links that lead to going down the wrong path too easily. Where as we know that God can lead us into circumstances that prosper us and not harm our soul if we trust Him. This article is focusing on Him and our response to His way to gain fruitful interactions with others. Let’s explore this topic. First, I want to explore the topic of grace. Grace can take many forms. It has my hand, it takes my hand, I hold on to the grace of Him who makes a way. See I look for God’s grace and yet he extends it to me. I search for grace and yet it looks for my love. I open up myself to it yet I search only in Him I seek. Yet grace doesn’t over extend itself to me. I need to accept it and I have trouble if I don’t. So I conclude this paragraph saying I am not alone in this struggle to serve others. I seek Him to unveil my grace to others. Second, the topic of grace enables us to serve others in a way that give people a choic...
