Heal this Land - By whom and where

The Lord would like to heal our hearts and be there for us in every circumstance. His promise is that we, his children would prosper in Him. That our hearts would unite and bring joy to His heart. This is what God is doing, making us one. His hand is busy curing our heart from sickness of distrust and lack of integrity in relationship. He would give us the land in a sense then ask us to rule with him in peace.

We are now working with him to change the hope of every believer. This hope was made in the light of the gospel. See it’s hope that will cause a change in heart. The hope of God’s people, called by His name, coming together to love others is a notion we are familia with. This notion is not a sentiment to be dis-changed with another. It is the hope of God’s Word. “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” (John 13:35 NIV)


Where the gift of God’s son to this world has shown us His love, he has also given his Spirit to dispel love of this world. See we are not alone in this struggle sin has bound us in. We are known by th
e Father who sent his Spirit to guide us into all truth. (John 16:13) The Spirit’s role is to encourage love to come forth. Out of this surrender to His will we are made one with each other. 


Now we are not alone in this walk either. He has placed people in our path who love as well. There is a voice in the wilderness crying out, make way for the Lord. (Mark 1:3) This call of the prophet John was one of fellowship, discipleship and family. Where the work is always one step in front of the other, there is a highway which the Lord prophesied in Isaiah that God would prepare for his people a way to Him. 


This is not only our heart for the nation to know God, though found in love this will come to be, it is also a call to purity in heart. The God given grace is that we should be found in Him, pure and holy, set apart for his good plan to use us to display his glory to the nation. We are now a priesthood of believers that are to set our sights on giving him glory through allowing our heart to be transformed. 


The reason we are made for love is our hearts are made in the likeness of God. As we are transformed into the very image of God our hearts unite and we are set apart for his purpose of reconciliation with each other and with Jesus. God gave us the role of bringing about a transformation in character and grace of God will give us this, an ability to call out what is. 


The peace God gives us as we bring the gospel to others in our land through His love is infinite and wise people seek Him for this. His glory will display through our life of love. His glory is to give our heart a place of rest in Him. This rest looks like love to others. This glory God gives us is that you and I will know Him in love of God. 


Let me conclude with this, a verse of praise. For God created the earth and everything in it. He created fish of the sea and birds of the air to praise Him. He made everything for its purpose of giving him glory and praise. Our hearts unite over this, our common call to worship him.

I Looked at Him and Died but He Gave me Life Again Cos He Loved Me

I looked at him in the middle of my time today before his loving face It took my gaze, and I made him proud of me Yet as I waited my heart grew dim and I gave way to sin Yet he never forsook his promise to be with me And my hope to heal my heart fell away Yet I hear him saying, I alone can heal a heart that grows cold and dim Yet he waits for me and I carry my heavy heart to his hand And he rests with intent of caring for my love So beaten, broken and bruised he took me in Beaten and sore, my wound he healed Shown love from the spotless lamb of God He showed me I care for you He showed me love   Photo by   Bill Fairs   on   Unsplash

Found in the Arms of Grace

I was use to walking along the road with no one to guide me in which way I was to go. Now I see the way is a narrow road, not broad, that leads to life (John 7:13-14). I am able to see a piece of grace as a gift from God’s hand, not a limitation that restricts me from seeing his love. So I press forward toward the goal of receiving Christ as my inheritance. This I do, forget what is behind and press forward toward the heavenly calling we have in God’s son Jesus (Philippians 3:14).  For I was once lost in sin, unable to see, deaf from all the drowning noise of chaos and lost in my own pride of life. I thought I was alone because there was no one who could save me. Yet I was only dead due to a decision to forget who I as made to be. I am now in the light, not of life alone, but also of God’s grace. I leave my baggage of tormented soul to enter a new age of transformation. Like a butterfly I used to crawl, now I saw above the wind and lift up above the waves.  In the start o...

Favoured

Now the favour in your life will carry you so far. Where will it carry you? To love. Now love looks like something. Often love takes the form of submission to another and their will. Yet coming to know the one who made you is the first step in coming to favour that flows.  Rivers start with a trickle and end in a stream. The collective of so many droplets of water can cause the stream to bulge, bursting its banks. This bulging can be related to the formation of character in our soul. This soul flooded with love is favour again and again pouring through.  The first part of love is to see we are made in the image of God and then made for His glory. These two cement the first of which is grace upon grace then acting upon this revelation, we all seek the glory of God. So what is the power we seek? Is it just that we are to be known by Him and make Him known by love? Let’s look at this.  It’s profound that love can take us deeper into the foundation of the gospel. Love can fin...
