Jeremiah 31 - 45
No more shall every man teach his neighbour and every man his brother saying
know the Lord, for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them
says the Lord for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will remember no more.
My future is in His hands. He has carried me through refining fires and at times filled me with such indescribable joy. The closer you get the more you realise you are a miserable sinner, unworthy of such great love that surpasses all understanding.
This God of love is merciful and forgiving. But how could he possibly know my every action, thought, word and deed. Modern technology perhaps our simplest comparison. Your personal details are accessible, the hacker and underworld always one step ahead. Security cameras follow your journey, small fry to a creator God. The complexity of creation hints at His majesty. The bible has predicted history and the earth is revealing her secrets confirming scripture. God's plan is unfolding for us all.
The real test of faith comes when in the face of every imagined circumstance you can still stand and praise the Lord. I would never have survived without His love and protection. In the eyes of this world where success, achievement and materialism are encouraged and worshipped I am surely a failure but to know His amazing love is enough.
Spirit filled children of God can read the signs of the times and as in the days of the Lord gather in small groups knowing that Yahshua said "and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Matthew 28 - 20
Darkness is spreading around the globe, biblical precepts ignored and held in contempt by man.
God will not be mocked. The day of the wrath of the Lord draws ever nearer. Forget the pain inflicted by this world, parental wrath, denominational warfare and abusive leadership, come home to the Father.
The notice board outside a local church read "IF YOU THINK LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES WAIT TILL YOU DIE and hell, maybe held in a dark place, tossed in a sea of miserable complaining souls
forever.
As I remember my journey back to my Father I know that His love for me is the greatest prize any mere mortal could hope to gain.
Enough to know you love me, enough to know you care,
Lord you heard my tortured cry and swiftly answered this child's prayer.
Enough to know you love me, in your hands I belong,
and as the twilight gently falls, enough to know you are my song.
Enough to know you lead me, and guide me on the path you planned,
forgiveness, peace, joy revealed, Your truth and way I understand.
And as the sun is setting and my day is all but through,
enough to know you'll lead me home to spend eternity with you.
