STRUGGLING IN THE CHRYSALIS OF FAITH

 OUT OF THE 20 OR SO CAMERAS AT THIS SAME LOCATION NO ONE CAPTURED THE HEART...I WAS AMAZED AND SO WERE THEY...I HAVE TAKEN APPROX 10 OTHER PICS WITH THE HEART IN THE PHOTO...SOME SAY IT IS MY LENSE IS FAULTY...MY FAITH SOARS WHEN I LOOK AT THESE PICS...IF THAT IS THE HEART OF GOD I AM TRUELY BLESSED...WHY DO NON- BELIEVERS ALWAYS LOOK FOR A REASON FOR GODS LOVE ?...

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BELIEVE AND HAVE COMPLETE FAITH IN GOD ?...YOU CAN SEE HIS WORK EVERYWHERE...WHEN WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TEACH US IT IS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO STAY FOCUSED ON OUR SALVATION...THE DEVIL IS A "NOW" AND DECEITFUL BEING WHO HAS TRICKED THE WORLD MANY TIMES IN MANY WAYS...HE KNOWS HE IS DEFEATED...TAKING AS MANY PEOPLE DOWN WITH HIM IS HIS LAST DITCH EFFORT TO THWART GOD...THE DEVIL WILL NEVER EVER BE IN THE GLORY OF GOD HE IS FOREVER BANISHED FROM GODS LOVE AND MERCY...

THESE ARE EASY WORDS TO SAY...THEY ALSO REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FAITH IN JESUS AND HIS FATHER GOD...TRUE CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO FILL THE GAP AND STAND STRONG IN THE FACE OF DEMONIC ATTACK (LIES, DECEIT, AND FEAR OF HARM)...WE ARE THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE THAT WILL NOT FALTER AND STAND FOR GOD AND THE TRUTH OF HIS WORD...JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH YOU AND READY TO AID YOU...MY CHRYSALIS IS MY SAFE PLACE WHILE I LEARN TO TRUST GOD IN EVERYTHING...AT A CHOSEN TIME I MUST BREAK FREE AND FLY WITH THE TRUTH OF GOD...IF I STAY WRAPPED UP FOR TOO LONG I WILL DIE A NON-BELIEVER...ONCE I EMERGE AS A TRUE CHILD OF GOD THERE IS NO GOING BACK TO SAFETY...THE IS LITTLE CHANCE OF RETURNING MY OPEN MIND BACK TO MY SMALL THINKING...IT WILL NOT FIT NOR SHOULD I WANT IT TOO...I FIND GREAT JOY IN WATCHING A BUTTERFLY MOVE WITH GRACE AND BEAUTY...I IN TURN WILL TRY TO SHOW OTHERS THE GOD IN ME AND LOVE AND HELP MY BROTHER WHEN I CAN...BY SPREADING THE GOSPEL OF GOD'S KINGDOM I WILL TAKE MY PLACE BESIDE JESUS AS A SPIRITUAL BEING ON A CARNAL WORLD...BAPTISM AND GOD GIVEN SPIRIT, FAITH, GRACE, OBEYING GODS LAW, WILL LEAD ME TO BE BORN AGAIN WHEN JESUS RETURNS TO CLAIM HIS RIGHT...

BACK TO THE BEGINNING - ACCEPTANCE -

EVERYTHING CENTERS ON BELIEVING JESUS DIED TO PAY THE DEBT FOR YOUR SINS....PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE...
IF YOUR BRAIN CAN ACCEPT THIS AS FACT AND TRUTH, YOU ARE READY TO ACCEPT THE NEXT TRUTH...JESUS DID THIS UNSELFISH ACT BECAUSE HE LOVED US...HE DID NOT HAVE TO DO IT...GOD DID NOT MAKE HIM DO IT...HE CREATED A BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR IMPURE SELVES AND HIS PURE AND HOLY FATHER...HE ALSO HAD UTMOST FAITH HIS FATHER WOULD BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE TO COMPLETE THE CIRCLE OF TOTAL ACCEPTANCE AND COMPLETE FAITH IN FATHER, SON, AND US AS HIS
CHILDREN...THE SLIGHTEST HESITATION HERE AND THE WHOLE HOUSE OF LOVE WOULD CRUMBLE...JESUS AND GOD KNOW WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS AND WE MUST GO BOLDLY IN FAITH HOLDING ONTO THE PROMISES WE WERE GIVEN...THE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AND HESITATION ARE NO LONGER OPTIONS...WE MUST TRUST OUR FATHER AND BROTHER KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND WILL NEVER GO BACK ON THEIR PROMISES...PLANETARIANS ARE THE SUPER CHRISTIANS OF THIS NEW AND DANGEROUS WORLD...THEY HAVE LEARNED, THROUGH THEIR SPIRIT AND PRAYER, TO ACCEPT EVERY DAY AS IT COMES...IT COMES AS A GIFT FROM GOD THROUGH HIS MERCY, GRACE, AND OFTEN TIMES THROUGH SPECIAL FAVOR...EVERYTHING IS ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD, SO PERSONAL GOALS EXIST ONLY TO FURTHER HIS GLORY AND TELL OTHERS THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL...OUR SAFETY IS AS SECURE AS THE AMOUNT OF FAITH WE HAVE IN THE PROMISES OF THE WORD WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN...THE CONSTANT BOMBARDMENT BY THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONS MAKE LIFE A LABARINTH OF CHOICES...LIES AND DECEIT SEEM INSURMOUNTABLE AT TIMES...HOLT TIGHT TO YOUR FAITH AND THE HAND OF JESUS AND THINGS BECOME CLEARER IN THEIR PURPOSE AND GOODNESS...PRAY WITHOUT CEASING MEANS THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY ASKING OUR SPIRIT TO SHOW US THE RIGHT THING TO DO...WHEN IN DOUBT WE CAN SING AND WORSHIP TO WIPE AWAY ALL THE CARNAL NOISES AND PITFALS...I AM SURE A LIFETIME COULD BE SPENT ON WHO, WHAT, WHERE, HOW , AND WHEN TO PUT ACCEPTANCE INTO ACTION...PUTTING IT TO ACTION IS THE KEY...LIVE THE LIFE YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN BY JESUS...WILL YOU BE PERFECT?...NO...CAN YOU TRY EVERY DAY TO BE BETTER?...YES...YESTERDAYS LESSONS ARE THE BLOCKS YOU START WITH IN THE NEW DAY GOD GIVES YOU...ACCEPT THE TRUTH THAT LIFE IS NOT ABOUT YOU...IT IS HOW YOU HELP OTHERS TO SEE THE GLORY OF GODS PROMISES...YOU TAKE CARE OF OTHERS AND JESUS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU...HIS RULES ARE JUST...HIS PROMISES ETERNAL...HOW YOU LIVE AND TREAT OTHERS IS HOW YOU LIVE FOR AND TREAT HIM...AN OPEN MIND AND OPEN HEART WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEE THINGS OF ASTOUNDING REVELANCE TO YOUR CARNAL AND SPIRITUAL LIFE...REMENBER WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE...ACEPT THAT AND THERE IS LITTLE ROOM FOR ANYTHING ELSE TO DISTRACT YOU FROM YOUR GOAL...
