He Speaks

Several years ago, I began journaling during my time spent with God, usually in the morning as a great start to my day. I believe God is a very Present God, concerned with the intricacies of our day-to-day life. I believe He's a good, good Father--far better than any early father. I believe He speaks to us through His Word and through His Holy Spirit living within. As I journal, He speaks to me as if He's right there in front of me, and I write down what he says. This series contains excerpts from my journal. Even with differences in beliefs, I believe anyone can find some inspiration and insight. Read this as if these words are being spoken to YOU, and let them elevate and motivate you.

Forget the past

The past only exists in your memories. Let those memories go, and your past and your pain will go with them.

I am your Today. I will meet your needs today. Then, turn your eyes to the Eternal. The things of this world--the people of this world, the emotions of this world, the pleasures of this world, the distractions of this world are all dissipating--they don't last.

So think about, meditate on, take pleasure in, take action on things that are Eternal--Faith, Hope and Love.

Don't try to be pleasing to the people of this world. Don't seek acceptance from the people of your past. Please Me. Build up treasure in Heaven--a place that IS Eternal!

Do this by loving, trusting and obeying Me AND by loving your brothers and loving the world. Not with your love, but by showing them My Love--Yeshua.

The Spirit and Nature and Power of Yeshua is in you. Once you take hold of that belief, you will be amazed by what you can do--through Me, with Me, for Me.
