Ripples

It all starts with one pebble dropped into someone’s life. That recipient then drops a pebble into another’s life, the ripple continues. Jesus dropped pebbles into the disciples life. The disciples dropped pebbles of truth into their community and beyond. Jesus appeared to Paul and dropped a pebble of truth into his life. This ripple spread to the gentiles which touched Timothy. Timothy, the pastor of the largest church of that time. That ripple continues to this day. Be a pebble-drop God’s truth into someone’s life an it will ripple out to touch the world. We may never know on this earth who we have touched. The good news is we will meet them in heaven. Every pebble has a purpose, don’t be afraid to drop them. No pebble is too small. Ripples get bigger the farther out they go from the source. Never think you wasted a pebble. Each pebble is a divine word, it will have its effect.

Be blessed, Never be afraid! He is always with us.

DARK CLOUDS

It occurred to me one morning as I was driving to work, the sky was very dark with clouds. The Lord showed me that no matter how thick the clouds are, some light always shines through. Maybe not rays of sunshine, but light, not complete darkness. The rain then comes and refreshes the earth, nurtures the soil and plants. The sun fully comes out warming and shining down causing the plant to grow and be useful for nourishment. This applies to us-dark clouds may come over us but the Son is still there, waiting to rain blessings down on us. After the rain, the Son’s light fully comes an helps us grow. It fills us with joy! We are then nourished and ready for service, to feed whomever God places in our path. So rejoice in the clouds! Your blessings are coming!

Water

Isaiah 58:11

The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a well watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.

Drought in my soul-dry, brittle, and easily broken… BUT God will satisfy my soul so I will no longer be dry, brittle or easily broken. My bones will be strengthened. Bones hold us upright, our vital organs are contained by our bones. The stronger our bones the more upright we can walk.

Well-watered gardens are flourishing. They keep growing, they are not in drought. As the garden grows it produces fruit which nourishes those around us. Out of us will flow life into others. God’s word is a spring of water which will continually keep us from drought. It waters our garden of life so we may be fruitful for Him.

If I am not diligent in my garden, weeds will grow, disease will damage the fruit. My fruit will not grow and it will be bitter. They must be fed good nutrients and be watered and pruned in order to grow to their full potential and be healthy.

I must have healthy plants in the garden of my life, so I may feed those around me. Thorns must not be allowed to sprout up. Thorns harm people. Thorns can be words or actions that will damage instead of being nourishing. My life is a garden. I must take care of it, not being lazy, but diligent in looking for pests that can invade my garden and damage it. Carefully looking for weeds, the need for water or food. Rich soil equals healthy plants and healthy plants are a blessing to those around me.

Be blessed my dear friends! Take care of your garden!!!

GLORY

The Lord gave me this word many years ago. He brought it back to my attention, so I wanted to share it with all of you.

My Glory fills the room. Allow My Glory to fill you up. Then take My Glory to the nations. You are a carrier of the Glory. Remember that in all the things you say and do. Since you are to save the nations, you must carry My Glory to the world. This is what will turn people from their sinful ways. Not thumping on them, not scaring them, but a want to be like you-filled with My Peace and filled with My Glory.

If you act like Jesus, people will come. It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord. Show them My Grace. Show them My Mercy.

This is My Plan-live for me and they will want what you have. Your job is to be who I created you to be, to be doing what I created you to do. Then you will reach your friends, your neighbors, your towns and the world for Me.

Look into My Word and learn who I AM and who you are. Look to My Word on how to live and live that way! It is the only way. Then My Glory will shine upon you, as I shined upon Moses, and you too will reflect My Glory. Allow Me to do this and you will be content. You will then be fulfilling your purpose.

I can then say at the end of all things, “Good job, good and faithful servant”

Go forth now and do as I have said for this is My command to you. Remember… I will be with you ALWAYS!!
