Moment by moment leads to one day at a time......our journey!

For many the ability to look into the future and make plans, to be certain of their purpose, and secure in what they believe their journey will be is not unusual in the world we live in today. For us, our journey to a house in order and the vision of a ministry given to us was tragically and violently interrupted by choices made by those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ. There is only a slight problem. These people failed Christianity 101. To date there has been no repentance for the destruction they caused based on fear and lies. Time is running out. Many who believe they are fine and on the narrow path that leads to life, unfortunately are not fine, but are deceived and will tragically hear these words instead, "Depart from me. I never knew you." The Bible tells us that the world will know we are Christians by the love we have for one another. Unfortunately there are very few people who profess to know Jesus, and profess to have a relationship with God who actually do. This is evident in a number of ways. We will get into some of them in the next episode. In the meantime I hear Jesus saying, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." I am not quite there yet. I want to be, but running into one of those hypocrites this week showed me in my heart, I am not there yet. Hypocrisy and pretense are not something Jesus was fond of and I can promise you, when I was face to face with it this week at the post office, what it provoked in me was much more than what I would describe as a lack of fondness. Thank you, Father, for sending the Holy Spirit to shut my mouth at that moment, because there was so much more that wanted to come out than what came out. My motto is "I can do all things through Christ Jesus, who gives me strength", including keeping my mouth shut when it wants to do the opposite. Thank God I have said that a million times in my head, because this week keeping my mouth shut had everything to do with the Holy Spirit within and not the million things running through my mind that would have loved to escape past my lips. Hallelujah for victory in Jesus! ~BC
