Literally, Everything!

Today’s message from God Calling – A.J. Russell, reminds us that “Come unto me,” means for everything. Every need is met in Christ Jesus. There is nothing too small for Him to care about. That’s why we’re encouraged to get as close to the Lord as possible, in relationship. I love Him so! Jesus never ceases to amaze me, to just blow my mind-and heart, and, to make me laugh! Yes, He does have a sense of humor! And, oh, how wonderful it is!

And, let me tell you, Jesus has a sense of humor! I was having my breakfast on Wednesday, and a small flock of pigeons flew over to where I was sitting. Of course, they’re such little beggars! One little pigeon, caught my eye. He was walking, as if wading in water, and made an almost complete circle. Then, he turned his head toward me, and then kind of cocked his little head, nodding to his right, as if pointing across the street. I laughed and said, “Were you over there looking for food and couldn’t find any?” Then, I went back to my breakfast. Now, I had decided, and said the day before, that I would check in with my doctor and make an appointment. I have a few things going on I think I need to get checked out. Anyway, it suddenly occurred to me that my doctor’s office is right back on that side of the street that that little pigeon pointed at when he cocked his little head in that direction. I couldn’t help myself. I looked up in Heaven’s direction and said, “Was that you, Jesus?!” I had a good laugh, then. Yes, I did go make that appointment. See, Jesus cares! Literally, everything matters to Him. I sure hope He doesn’t tell that doctor I’ve been eating all that sausage and cheese lately.

It Requires Remaining Aware of His Love

eden08122015

Today’s message from God Calling – A.J. Russell, reminds us that we have a refuge in, and from, this world. We are bid to dwell in God’s love, laughing, trusting, and knowing His Divine Power.

I realized some time ago, that, when I choose to seek God’s love in the world around me, I am always sure to find it. Sometimes, it’s contained in the tiniest things, or revealed in the smallest of ways, but it’s always there. When we begin to dwell, to really live in God’s love, we become more and more aware of His Divine Power. There’s almost no question, whatsoever, of the source of the little “coincidences, miracles, and eleventh hour rescues.”

Just this morning, I walked out to my storage place. I rearranged my bag for the day, locked up, and headed back down to the entry gate. The keypad at the exit point wasn’t working. I rang the manager’s bell a couple of times, finally ringing in Morse Code, “SOS.” It was about 8:33 a.m. I sat down to wait for the manager, who would be in at 9 a.m. I thought, well, I might as well take the time to say my morning prayer. I hadn’t yet. I said my amen, and added, “Jesus, please send somebody up here in a hurry.” No sooner were the words out of my mouth, and one of the office workers showed up. I told her the keypad wasn’t working. She asked how long I’d been there, and I said, “Oh, about fifteen minutes.” She said, “You’re lucky I came in early today; I usually don’t show up until 9:30 a.m.” I’m so glad Jesus hears our prayers.

Jesus said that he couldn’t work His miracles in some places because of the unbelief. He asked, “Do you believe…? He also said, “Your faith has made you well, healed you, saved you, etc.” Faith activates God’s Divine Power in our lives. When we make it a point to seek, accept, and reciprocate by living in that love toward ourselves and others, more and more of God’s Divine Power becomes active in our lives. As this takes place, our faith is fed, and grows. Walking by faith then becomes easier and easier; like breathing.

Happy Monday! I’ll be at my cardiologist’s office today. I chose this song for today; it goes wonderfully with today’s message. I hope it lifts and encourages you as we start a new week. God bless you all! Thanks, Michael W. Smith!
