Good to see you again! You ready to go?
I know all these recent changes have probably been… uncomfortable. We
are changing. And definitely for the better. If we stay comfortable… we
become lukewarm.
We are taught in the Bible that God does not like us to be lukewarm in
our efforts.
|
Revelation 3:15-16
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would
thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. |
We must possess passion toward our purpose.
Jesus calls passion ... SALT.
|
Luke 14:34
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be seasoned? |
Salt
is an ingredient that spices up and enhances a meal.
We must be passionate about leaving our past and heading for the state
of Freedom.
We are finally driving AWAY from this world. We keep taking
one day at a time until we reach our goal.
Just like this HUGE tunnel we are about to enter…
Noticed how it got dark all the sudden. Let’s turn on the head lights to
help us see.
It wouldn’t be very safe driving in the dark without them, huh?
Look up ahead.
I think that’s the end of the tunnel.
Yeah… that light up there. Do you see it?
Its small. But its getting bigger the closer we get to it.
Its definitely the end of the tunnel. We’ll be out soon.
We long to hear the words said to us, “Everything is going to be alright”.
Good news.
It IS going to be alright.
Our God gives us that comfort and reminds us of those words often.
Though we may still be in the tunnel right now… we SEE the end of the
it.
We can’t just pull over now and stay in the darkness. It might not be
the most comfortable thing to drive through the tunnel in the dark… but
that is why we have headlights.
JESUS is our headlight.
He shines the way to show us which way to go, and not to go.

"Shine" by Aly and AJ
When I've gone too far
When I've had enough
When I'm losin' ground
Feelin' out of touch
I don't run and hide
I just look inside
For a simple piece of mind
Like a neighborhood
On a city street
I know the path
It knows my feet
And when I feel afraid
Feel like checkin' out
You stand up and take a bow
You shine when others need you
You speak and I believe you
I know the light, it guides you
I'll join the line that walks behind you
[Chorus]
You shine, you shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine, you shine
And everyday's another opportunity
To shine
The way you see the world
The way it sees you back
You're the photographer
You take the photograph
If you don't like the way
The way it looks at you
You've got all the power to choose
Turn right, turn left, turn the other way
Make it light, make it dark, make it go away
I love the way you write the script to your own life
You're the star, you're on tonight
And when I feel unnoticed
Just two steps back from hopeless
You turn my world around with a single smile
That's who you are, that's who you are
[Chorus]
I know the light, the light that guides
I'll join the line that walks behind you
You shine, you shine
In my life I know you shine
You shine
Like a window to your heart I see
All the possibilities
You shine
And everyday's another opportunity
To shine |
God
does not look at our past. God sees what we CAN be. God sees our SOUL.
Our deepest thoughts, needs, desires, passions… everything. And He wants
to set us free. So, we can’t stay locked away. We must CHOOSE to come
out.
|
Lil girl
Can you come out and play?
Come out of hiding,
It's a new day.
Do you know you are precious?
Do you know you are pure?
Believe you are special.
Believe you are lovable.
Whatever weighs down
Let it all go
Let's surf on the waves
Let's play in the snow
Go walk in the grass
Go jump in the leaves
Let's splash in the puddles
Let your heart breathe.
Its been held captive
For far too long.
You've kept it locked tight.
You've silenced the song.
As the leaves fall around you
And settle on the ground
Listen to the wind blow
Freedom will be found.
Giggle your stress away
Smile through the pain.
Keep hope in your grasp,
Bring your umbrella for the rain.
You long so much for freedom
For love, for joy, for peace,
But with your passion and your laughter,
What a sweet release.
Lil girl
Can you come out and play?
Let your soul run free with me.
Can you hear me?
You are perfect.
And you are mine. |
This is the secret to FREEDOM.
To trust in HIS Love.
|
Come down Rapunzel
Hold tight sweet love
He doesn't see you with your eyes
Stay still beautiful soul
He doesn't love you with your love
Just smile lovely one
His hands are stronger than yours
Just breathe little one
He's braver than you are
Don't cry my love
He will fight to save you
Just look pure dove
He sees you purer than you ever imagine
Sleep sweet princess
He guards your heart while you rest
Look up sweet girl
He has Hope for you
Don't stop fearful one
He means well
Come down Rapunzel
He's here to set you free. |
Remember the importance of Hope?
The importance of FAITH?
We have to BELIEVE that God can help us and that we can heal from
everything. Look how far we have come already! We would NOT have been
able to keep getting in the car every day if we didn’t believe and trust
our final destination was coming. If we didn’t believe that we were headed to
the State of
Freedom.
We BELIEVE we are
healing.

I believe in magic
And in little children
Who are afraid of the dark
I believe in laughter
Of all sorts
In lightening bugs
Even if they don't glow.
I believe in freedom
For everyone
And in wishing wells
Even if your dreams don't come true.
I believe in imagination
No matter where it takes you
And in unicorns
Because they can fly.
I believe in miracles
Because that's what you are
And in crying
Because it doesn't require tears.
I believe in forgiveness
And in caterpillars
Because they too become beautiful.
I believe in friendship
It lasts forever
And in dragons
Because not all of them are bad.
I believe in happiness
Because it's the beginning
And in make believe
Because I've never forgotten how.
I believe in winter
Even if its warm
And in springtime
Even if the flowers never bloom.
I believe in living
Even when its tough
And in tree houses
Because they're home.
I believe in magic
Because it teaches you to sing
And in merry-go-rounds
Because they make more than just a circle.
I believe in love
Because it creates all things
And in ladybugs
Even if they can't fly.
I believe in tomorrow
Because its more than just another day
And in winning
Because you can't lose.
I believe in dreaming
Because it teaches you to be free
And in trying
Because you cannot fail.
I believe in searching
And in hope
I believe in courage
And in hear
I believe in smiling
And in me
And I believe in you,
Whoever you are,
. . . I believe. |
Some people believe that they have Guardian Angels ...
The Bible confirms this:
|
Matthew
18:10
Jesus said, (concerning God's children ... Namely YOU)
Be careful that you never harm one of these little ones, because
I tell you, that in Heaven THEIR ANGELS always look upon the
face of my Heavenly Father. |
Referring to Angels, Paul said:
|
Hebrews
1:14
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for
them who shall be heirs of Salvation? |
This confirms that each of us HAS an assigned Angel who watches over
us.
Whether you acknowledge their presence ... or not, they are THERE.
So whenever you feel alone,
ponder on this TRUTH. God loves His children and He gave us spiritual
companions to protect and comfort us because we're so precious to Him.
Make sure you say “hi” to your
Heavenly assigned Angel once and again. This is what king David wrote:
|
Psalms
91:11-12
For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot
against a stone. |
ARE THERE ANGELS AMONG US?
Most agree that there are Angels among us. Though there are always those
who cannot believe in the unseen and that includes the angels among us.
Read what the Apostle Paul wrote about angels:
|
Hebrews
13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares |
ALWAYS BE KIND TO STRANGERS BECAUSE THEY COULD BE...
Do not think you are going through life alone. You know now you have
God, and even guardian angels specifically assigned by God for YOU. For
YOUR protection and safety.
God loved us so much to send us a personal angel.
Isn't that just AWESOME?
On top of that, we have been given an awesome gift:
Given to us by Jesus, as a comforter.
Are we, as Christians spoiled or what?
Our Heavenly Father loved us so much that He
sent Jesus to DIE for us, just so we could go to Heaven.
Then gives us a comforter.
It's all about
the Love.
We have it tucked away. And its slowly finding its way out.
The more we keep facing forward, our eyes up to Heaven, and our knees on
the ground (in constant prayer), the closer and closer we get to:
PURE FREEDOM. PURE PEACE. PURE LOVE.

Music
boxes have within,
melodies they carry with them,
once they open music fills the air.
Every person you have known,
has a song of their own,
once they open up you'll hear whats there.
It's not easy you must listen
with your heart for what lies hidden.
There was a melody, locked deep inside of me but now its free,
it found a place embraced by harmony, sweet harmony,
Love more than anything,
Teaches our hearts to sing,
Only love, could break the spell,
now I know, very well,
the love within myself.

It's all going to be alright.
I promise.
Let’s stop and rest to make sure we are
refreshed for tomorrow. I left some reading material for you to read
that talks more about what God‘s promise is for us if we BELIEVE. Make sure
you journal tonight too! I’ll see you soon.
We
sure make a good team.
Hey… DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM YET??

His Eye is on the Sparrow- Lauryn Hill
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart fell lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches
I know he watches
I know he watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me
He watches me
He watches me, I never thought...
He watches me |

Promise of a Lifetime- Kutless
I have fallen to my knees
As I sing a lullaby of pain
I'm feeling broken in my melody
As I sing to help the tears go away
Then I remember the pledge you made to me
[CHORUS:]
I know you're always there
To hear my every prayer inside
I'm clinging to the promise of a lifetime
I hear the words you say
To never walk away from me and leave behind
The promise of a lifetime
Will you help me fall apart
Pick me up, take me in your arms
Find my way back from the storm
And you show me how to grow
Through the change
I still remember the pledge you made to me
[BRIDGE:]
I am holding on to the hope I have inside
With you I will stay through every day
Putting my understanding aside
And I am comforted |
