Shame

Shame is a death dealer The weight of the regret The heaviness of the depression It will crush you Shame Birth by sin Birth by comparison Birth by the devil Shame It can be debilitating crippling painful It feels like you can't breath lonely paranoid fear Is there any hope in this decrepit darkness Yes and His name is Jesus You don't have to live in shame Jesus is bigger than it You don't have to compare yourself any more Jesus loves you and created you He knows who you really are He knows what you were meant to be He knows your pain He knows your sorrows He has(past tense) set you free from sin It is already done just receive your Freedom From fear depression paranoia You can get out of the darkness You can have Love, Joy, Peace, Patient, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness Gentleness, Self-Control Because whom the Son sets free is free indeed Don't let shame destroy you Receive your freedom Go to the One that gives life And His name is J...

Opening Day

Today, as I was coming back from my child's school, I was listening to sports radio.  The talking heads coming out of my speakers reminded me that it was opening day for the Mariners baseball team.  The talking heads were speaking about their memories as a kid for opening day and family.  Also which sport was the most important at the time of their youth.  For one it was baseball and for the other it was football.  As for me it has always been football.  For the one that liked baseball, he was very excited about this opening day because he and his wife have a beautiful newborn child.  With this child, their first I might add, he was going to tell her all about the rules of the game and how fun it is.  Of course she can't talk yet but she can listen very well.  The other talked about how football was king in his household as a child.  His dad would come home from coaching and bring him and his brothers football pads to play in.  As t...

The Generosity of the Lord Jesus Christ

If someone gave u $100.  What would you say?  Thank you of course. What if they did it again? You would say thank you again. And so on and so on. What about the air you breath? Do you thank our generous Lord for that?  I believe you do because the air you breath came from Him too.  As a matter of fact He owns everything!  Now that I have established that.  For the last week or two I've been focusing on giving God the first part of my day. I must say it has been amazing.  I feel like I hear the Lord so clearly.  Also, it puts me in the proper perspective of; seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven and all these things will be added to you and that everything is the Lord's.  Waking up in the morning  has been great!  By the way, I'm not a morning person at all. Why did I start doing this you ask?  Its simple, Jesus, also I'm going to the School of Generosity at my church.  The leaders there start their day off with "facetime". ...

Trust

Trust is not easily earned but can be easily lost. It can take years to build up trust but in a moment can be gone. Just like money it builds up as it sits in the bank creating interest. Then when you need it you pull it out.  Although, if you use it for a moment of fun, revenge, anger, pain, sorrow, etc it can be all gone and you have to start all over again. Many would never use 1,000,000 dollars so quickly in one day but yet we do it with the more valuable trust all the time.  Some say they would never do it with trust but in one moment, all gone!  Yet there is hope and His name is Jesus. Even though we misuse His trust all the time. He comes back and trusts us to be who He called us to be. Wow, what Grace!!  When you break the trust of a human it can take a lifetime to get it back or you may never get it back at all. That's just how we are without Jesus. But when you break the trust of God.  He turns around and trust you more.  He believes in you even i...

Clean

Clean is what I am Clean is how I feel The dirt and grime of my past Traded in for the sparkle and glow of my future I hid my shame guilt and regret Hoping it would fade away in the distant sky Heavy with the weight of sin I wanted to be clean but didn't know how then....... JESUS In a moment I confessed my sins The weight lifted off Although some of the dirt was caked on and caused pain when it came off It was well worth it. Issues are not issues anymore The past is not holding me down with its rusty chains Now I use those broken chains to tell people of how Jesus set me free I am clean

You can too!

I thank God for forgiving me of ALL my sins. I thank Him for loving me even if nobody else will(still surprises me and humbles me). I lean on the King that has everything and is everything. The best part is you can have the Lord as your Lord too. Admit Jesus is Lord, that He died on the cross and rose again. Also ask Him to be Lord over your life with all your heart. Now your in the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ and all the inheritance that comes with it
