Happy Monday

You Cannot Earn, OR LEARN it!!

You can learn about Jesus

and even try and change yourself into

"being a Christian" but,

You can never make yourself into a child of God

Unless you come to the foot of His Cross and

accept His payment for you to be born-again,

PERSONALLY!

(Jesus said) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

......behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, (The Father said) “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
Whom God put forward [ before the eyes of all] as a mercy seat and propitiation by His blood [the cleansing and life-giving sacrifice of atonement and reconciliation, to be received] through faith. 

 Matthew 7:21; Matthew 17:5b; Romans 3:25a

TEARS

Ever wonder if God understands what is happening in your life? Does He hear your cries? Does He see your tears? Does He care? No matter what we are going through today, God understands, and He understands our tears.  When we've cried for a while, wipe the tears away and say, “Although what I’m going through right now is very painful, I know I still serve a God who makes no mistakes!”  And believe it! 

I love the Psalms because they give us beautiful pictures of what our intimate relationship with God is like.  Psalm 56:8 (NLT) gives us one of those snapshots of God’s tenderness with us when we are experiencing incredible sorrow in our life. “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.  You have recorded each one in your book”.  He not only keeps track of all our sorrows, hurts and heartaches, He has recorded them in His book. Every tear we’ve cried He has stored in our bottle, the one He keeps just for us. What a beautiful gentle picture this is of our God,  a Father who tenderly collects our tears and holds them close to His heart....... 

We are given this promise when Christ returns to dwell with us in the new heaven and new earth…“And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have been passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)  We see "tears" being shed so often that we forget just how precious they are. 'Tears' have meaning; "tears" speak volumes. 'Tears' that flow from the face of a person may be overlooked by others, but they are not shunned or overlooked by Heaven. They are bottled up; they are recorded … You could say; "Tears are a language God understands.  “I wonder how many tear bottles in heaven bear your initials.  

You’ll never have many until you let go and let a little tenderness run loose.”
