God make everything new!!

"The Enthroned continued, "Look! I'm making everything new. Write it all down - each word dependable and accurate." Revelations 21:5

A reminder that God makes all things new. He changes us, and we are reborn. We start seeing things from his side.

God makes everything new!!!

God lead us closer to you
God make us new
God bless us
God lead us

And Another Quote

“The terrible thing is that a perfectly good God is in this matter hardly less formidable than a Cosmic Sadist. The more we believe that God hurts only to heal, the less we can believe that there is any use in begging for tenderness. A cruel man might be bribed – might grow tired of his vile sport – might have a temporary fit of mercy, as alcoholics have fits of sobriety. But suppose that what you are up against is a surgeon whose intentions are wholly good. The kinder and more conscientious he is, the more inexorably he will go on cutting. If he yielded to your entreaties, if he stopped before the operation was complete, all the pain up to that point would have been useless. But is it credible that such extremities of torture should be necessary for us? Well, take your choice. The tortures occur. If they are unnecessary, then there is no God or a bad one. If there is a good God, then these tortures are necessary. For no even moderately good Being could possibly inflict or permit them if they weren’t. Either way, we’re for it.”

God bless us
God give us strenght
God help us listen to you
God help us obey

Thoughts

Maybe our problem why our projects go over budget, and delayed is not because we lack smart people but because we lack respect and listening.

That's my hypothesis anyways.

"The mood is no evidence. Of course the cat will growl and spit at the operator and bite him if she can. But the real question is whether he is a vet or a vivisector. Her bad language throws no light on it one way or the other." C.S. Lewis A Grief Observed

Anyways hope you are having a good week.

God bless us
God lead us closer to you
God change our lives
God let us feel your presence!

One more quote

"When we are praying about the result, say of a battle or a medical consultation the thought will often cross our minds that (if only we know it ) the event is already decided one way or the other. I believe this to be no good reason for ceasing our prayers. The event certainly has been decided - in a sense it was decided 'before all worlds'. But one of the things taken into account in deciding it, and therefore one of the things that really cause it to happen, may be this very prayer that we are now offering" C.S. Lewis Miracles

God bless us
God lead us into his righteousness
God bring us into his high court
God bring us into your divine grace

Miracles

"In a pond whose surface was completely covered with scum and floating vegetation, there might be a few water-lilies. And you might be of course be interested in them for their beauty. But you might also be interested in them because from their structure you could deduce that they had stalks underneath which went down to roots in the bottom." The naturalist thinks that the pond (nature - the great even in space and time) is of indefinite depth - that there is nothing but water however far you go down. My claim is that some of the things on the surface (i.e. in our experience) show the contrary. These things (rational mind) reveal, on inspection, that they at least are not floating but attached by stalks to the bottom. Therefore the pond has a bottom. It is no pond, pond for ever. Go deep enough and you will come to something that is not pond but mud and earth and then to rock and finally the whole bulk of Earth and the subterranean fire." C.S. Lewis Miracles

I'm reallying liking this latest  book from C.S. Lewis. I've heard the argument before from Eugène N. Marais stated in his book "The Soul of the White Ant" that the greatest proof that there is a God that in world of competition, death, and pain we look for love, peace, and justice. C.S. Lewis along similar lines argues that our reason and moral reason are the greatest proof that there is a God.

Anyways I have found Derek Gust and am really liking his music. Go check him out.

God lead us closer to you.
God help us listen to you
God move us

"The Screwtape Letters"

I have come across another interesting idea proposed by C.S. Lewis

It's the idea that Satan is wanting us to become so focused on our selves that we forget about real pleasures, real truth. God on the other hand wants us to focus on him and it turn return to us the very things we gave to him. Satan wants us to focus on the future and what really can not be ("nearly all vises are rooted in the future"). ie worries about the future .. so that we do not act today. God wants us to act. Wants us to enjoy the now (which is an action). C.S lewis talking as Satan "We want a whole race perpetually in pursuit of the rainbow's end, never hones, nor kind, nor happy now, but always using as mere fuel wherwith to heap the alter of the future every real gift which is offered them in the Present." God wants us to "to bring the man to a state of mind in which he could design the best cathedral in the world, and know it to be the best, and rejoice in the fact, without being any more (or less) or otherwise glad at having done it had he would be if it had been done be another" "He wants to kill their animal self-love as soon as possible; but it is His long-term policy, I fear, to restore to them a new kind of self love -- a charity and gratitude for all selves, including their own when they have really learned to love their neighbours as themselves, they will be allowed to love themselves as their neighbours."

God Bless you
God turn your hearts toward him
God work in our lives
God help us to depend on you

C.S. Lewis "The problem of Pain"

So I'm reading the book "The problem of Pain" by C.S. Lewis. Here are some things I caught from the book.

"We want, in fact, not so much a Father in Heaven as a grandfather in heaven - a senil benevolence who, as they say, 'liked to see young people enjoying themselves',and whose plan for the universe was simply that it might be truly said at the end of each day, 'a good time was had by all'" ... " It is abundantly clear that I don't and since I have reason to believe, nevertheless, that God is Love I conclude that my conception of love needs correction"

He also mentions how we are made to follow God's will and that in doing so we become more human. More of what we are created to be. We are created to have our energy and our thoughts flowing out of God.

Anyways I like the book but it is a difficult read. I find myself getting tired each time I open the book but want to read more.

God bless.
God fill you with energy and thoughts
God heal our bodies
God heal our minds
and draw us closer to you.

Galatians

So I just finished reading Galatians in the message translation. I am struck by how Paul talks about the law and working for our salvation. It seems we get stuck in our head sometimes that we have to be good to receive salvation. Sometimes I guess I forget that belief in Jesus is where it is at.

Sorry it's been so long.

God bless you
God love you
God speak to you

Are thoughts are us and we are our thoughts

Lately through the things I read and the people I meet I am understanding this more and more.

"We are our thoughts and our thoughts are us"

The idea what we think about, how we think about people determine our actions and our words.

I find it is nothing new

“You have heard that our ancestors were told, ‘You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgement.’ But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgement! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.” (Matthew 5:21,22) NLT

And then the simple solution is just change our thoughts!

Lol well I am working at it, and so embark on one of the most interesting challenges of life. I embark on changing who I am.

I pray that God is near you
I pray that God reaches into you soul and pulls you out
I pray for green pastures
I pray for healing
I pray you have a great week.

God Bless!!

Words I can not form

I try to put words to things in life that I love and I come up with nothing -
How do you explain to people things you can't put in words -
How can you touch some one's soul

Praying for my friends these days! You should to!

God works in mysterious ways,
ways that I love but yet can not explain.
I wish the same for everyone.


God Bless us
God Lead us to your throne
God bless our inner lives.
God speak to us
