My Thoughts - My Journey

Jesus came to earth to do the Father’s will, but He also came to represent God so that we would know what it is like to have God with us. In Colossians, we read....“He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God ….” Colossians 1:15 In Hebrews: “And He (Jesus) is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature ….” Hebrews 1:3 And in John....“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God …. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us …. No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.” John 1:1, 14, 18 Jesus Christ is the very representation and likeness of God. He was sent to show us the beauty and majesty of the King. He did not make His debut in Bethlehem because He existed before creation “in the beginning.” In fact, it was “through Him” that “all things were made.” (John 1:3) Even when we look back to the book of Genesis, we read that God said, “Let us make man...

How do we know this? Because Jesus tells us that every hair in our head is numbered. Ever thought…..that is NOT a one-time deal? The number of the hairs on our head changes daily. Either we lose a few or we gain new baby hairs. He knows the number of hairs on our head…..minute-by-minute! He can’t get closer to us and our lives than that! He is active and moving intricately. To say He has no power in our lives….no interaction in our lives is to deny who He ...

Sometimes we need a good breakdown to get a good breakthrough.The walls we build get so thick and tough, we hinder our feelings, emotions, and not only the love we have to share, but the love that is waiting for us to receive. Through letting go and by giving Him control, we can start to chisel away what is holding us back from living in joy and freedom. Reach out for all that is meant to be yours and do not allow others to hinder your journey. Amen!
