Living for Jesus/Safe in His Arms

 

I am too old and impatient to live my remaining days in Laodician moments (Ref 3:14-16)  I will be 81 soon and I am either going to live for Jesus or be dead cold in the grave …I don’t have time or energy for a lukewarm faith.  If this an older life is HO-Hum station, then I am not getting off here.  Speed on down the tracks; wreck, crash, or burn, but live out life living for Jesus. 


I wrote the below while waiting for the cardiologist to come in the room and tell me how my tests came out. 



Safe in His Arms

 

Hold me, Jesus.

Well, I’m safe in his arms. I’m safe in His arms.

Though the winds  howl and  blow,

I’ll  trust, and I’ll know

That I’m safe in His arms


When  storm winds are blowing, I'll rest in the knowing

When there seems no relief, I'll  rest in belief

There peace to the last breath,  because He conquered death

Yes, I’m safe in His arms.

Hold me Jesus

What's This Day?"

"But Jesus called them unto Him and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." MATT 18:16 It was calendar training time for my granddaughter: day of the week, the months, and then, the holidays. She can’t read yet so----- “What’s this day?” “Palm Sunday.

That’s when they took Jesus to the cross and---“ “They nailed His hands and hurt Him and put him up on a cross. And He died. What’s this day?” “This is Easter. That’s when --- “ “I know about Easter. That’s when He come up from out of the ground and come alive for us.” I couldn’t have summed it up any better. I had no idea she had such a vision of the gospel experience. It made my heart glad, not just for her but in knowing there are probably countless other little children who have ...

Inspiration

Inspiration can be for all of us who hide behind our list of excuses. Inspiration can call us out from under the rock we have felt comfortable hiding under. Inspiration can change people and the direction of their lives. Really? Can we be sure? Seriously, can people really be inspired? Isn't inspiration a form of judging in that we are making an the assumption that our way is the best way? and it would be better for that person to become inspired to change? Is the motive for inspiration a concealed form of ego; that is, trying to inspire people to be more like us? No, no - I don't want to inspire people to be more like me. I would have them be more like Jesus: I am not the model, the pattern to follow, not me, an old sinner saved by grace. But, I have found the missing coin, the Pearl of Great Price, and want to share it, not because I am judging but because I know it is a better way, the better way, for me, for anyone. This direction, this journey is not ...
