The song that never ends:

image

Find God, Serve God, ignore  God,  fall away, problems,  worse problems,  Call on God, Find God, Serve  God, ignore God,  fall away……

This is the song that never ends..

Sing a song of Triumph.  

Let Jesus lead you beside still waters and to paths of righteousness, you will find rest and peace for your soul.

Once proud, full of promise :

image

She was beautiful, sleek, quick, hardy, much loved, well used, had seen many profitable days.

Today?  Sad, broken, alone, only useful for storing  junk,  taking up space, unprofitable, forgotten….neglected.

The new baby, is all wonderfull, full of promise, hope, joy, dreams….expectations.   Then life kicks in.  Getting kicked takes away most of the joy of life.

Man becomes aware that he is not complete.  He needs more:  Money, a new love, excitement ,  (sports car, motorcycle, boat, sky diving).  Always looking outside himself for completion.

These are not bad desires:  They just are not the answer.  They will not make us complete.

Remember Joe 6 pack.  He works hard every day,  home to wife, kids and TV.  Not a bad guy, fulfills his obligations, maybe even goes to church on Sundays.    Hasn’t met the Lord, or known the Lord personally…… Lost.

How to be completed?

Whosoever will, that is what I  need to remember.   As a man that Loves the Lord, I must do my best to love all, walk in Wisdom towards them that are without. …allow Jesus to be bigger than my wants, desires, actions.

Hope that people see Jesus, that they see a man that reflects Godly virtue and truth.  A man, whose life, leads  to Righteousness.  A profitable man.  A man who will lead.

Lord, may people recognize You, through me.

Why write?

Shipwrecked :   Aground :

image

That is why I write.  I am shipwrecked, stuck in one place, aground.   I  write hoping to touch hearts and lives for Jesus.  To bring people to a place where they can see the Lord without the vail of religion.

The only requirement is to love the Lord and each other.   How are we to do that?   I  find myself always trying to teach something and neglect to introduce the Lord.

He is not far away,  unknowable,  unapproachable.  The Kingdom of God is at hand.   The Good News of the Kingdom of God is now.  Since Jesus died and rose again.  He is knocking at the door of your heart.

image

All we need do is:

Ask the Lord to forgive us.
     For what?
Selfishness, anger, hate, hurt, unbelief, doubt, pride…..ect.

Ask the Lord to help us change direction.
     Start walking towards the Lord…

Ask the Lord to Save you from your sin and be Lord of your life.

Accept His love and grace in your life.

Now you need to find a Fellowship or Church of believers.   We need to read the Word, make the Word not Church Doctrine the bottom line for our beliefs.

Talk about what you are learning,  if you don’t receive encouragement, discussion as well as correction, as needed, you are not in the right place.

Ask, Seek and Knock the Lord will help you find the place you should be.

Fleet Caroline :  Years before I had a camera phone.  I attempted to draw this dinghy.   The tree was small, the body of the craft was complete.

Here today and gone tomorrow.

Love

image

1 Corinthians: 13. 4-8a  “Charity (love), suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  Charity never faileth:”

Love never fails:
