~BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE~

Hi.............

There are people in our lives who we love so...dearly and yet hardly let them know we care.

There are lovedones and friends we interact with on daily bases and who mean so much to us, but they still do not know Jesus Christ our Lord as their Savior.

If Abba Father gave us His all, it's because He loved us soo much.

If Christ died for us it's because He loved us.

Let's not just give our best to people we love and care about but tell them about "THE ONLY WAY"

JOHN 14:6

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.

 No one comes to the Father except through me.

We need to witness to our unsaved loved ones- our kids, parents, spouse, friends, our brothers and sisters- as they are special not just to us but to a God who loves them more than us.

Psalm 78:  ⁴ We will not hide them from their

children;we will tell the next generation 
       the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,
       his power, and the wonders he has done.

 ⁵ He decreed statutes for Jacob 

and established the law in Israel, 
       which he commanded our forefathers 
       to teach their children,

 ⁶ so the next generation would know them, 

 even the children yet to be born,
       and they in turn would tell their children.

We need to talk about our Lord, His saving grace, His goodness often.

Psalm 71 ¹⁵ My mouth will tell of your righteousness, 

 of your salvation all day long, 
       though I know not its measure.

 ¹⁶ I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,O

Sovereign LORD; 
       I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.

 ¹⁷ Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, 

and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

Here's something I read long back during my college days and have always treasured it for it blessed me and is a valuable reminder even today.

So before it's too late, loved ones and friends not just how much we love and care for them but make sure they know our Savior.

Read and be blessed.

   BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE

If you have a tender message or a loving word to say,

Do not wait till you forget it, wisper it today,

The tender word unspoken,

The letter never sent,

The long forgotten messages,

 The wealth of love unspent,

For these some hearts are breaking.

For these some loved ones cry.

So show them you care for them before it's too late.

Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.
When Death claims the light of my brow
No flowers of life will cheer me; instead
You may give me my roses now!

~FULL SURRENDER~ Our Lord deserves our ALL or nothing at all...

Hi friends, brothers and sisters in Christ 

This is a poem I read many years back and it so....blessed me.
We give God our all...or nothing at all!

Be blessed,

Julia

                        

   FULL SURRENDER

My heart has a hundred rooms or more,

I kept the keys to every door;

And then one day the lord found me ,

And asked if He might have the keys.

I nodded yes and turned my back,

To take one small key off the pack,

A key to an attic room so.... small,

I thought it didn't matter at all.

I turned around thinking what to say,

But all too late He had gone away;

My heart sank deep down to my feet,

A voice called me a cheat.

Another day my Lord passed by,

I saw the hurt look in His eyes;

I flung every key at HIS wounded feet,

And O the joy inexpressibly sweet.

Are you on the Verge of Giving up?

Hi brothers, sisters and friends....

Are you at the verge of giving up?

You think it's all over?
If you are the Child of the Most High God just hold on to Jesus Christ your Lord. He is your Hope. He is the Glory and the Lifter of your head.

Just hold on and don't let go be cause God's about to perfect all that consumes you.

ISAIAH 57:18,"I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him,"

Facing tough times?
 Are you weighed down by trials, sickness & pain?

Just hold on the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob will rise Himself on your behalf.

PSALM 41:3,"The LORD will sustain him on his sickbed and restore him from his bed of illness."

PSALM 71:20,"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up."

Have you lost your job, property or anything that was yours?

God can quickly restore what was rightfully yours.

GENESIS 40:13, "Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cup bearer."

Are relationships strained and in the verge of breaking up?

Feel there's no hope?

Just believe that your Heavenly Father is a God of restoration & will help you build up this relationship.

PSALM 147: ³ He heals the brokenhearted 

       and binds up their wounds.

What ever situation you are in and feel there's no hope and it's all over, Just give your troubling situation right now into the hands of your Saviour JESUS CHRIST.

If He's not your Savior as yet, you can still reach out to HIM for help. Just cry out to HIM.

Be real, tell HIM how you feel about the situation.

He will intervene & help you.

So instead of giving up hope & thinking it's all over, look up to JESUS CHRIST.

Trials, pain are part of life. But God's word promises us, that everything works to our good.

^{1 CORINTHIANS 4:17}For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

So if you think all is over..just remember..there's still hope. Abba Father's on the throne & we can approach HIS throne on grace with our petitions, in the NAME OF JESUS/YESHUA & HE will listen to us.

God Bless you,

Julia

From Mom To Daughter

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME??

God has blessed each of us with a family. Some are there with us, some live far away and some are no more!!

When was the last time you did something special for your mom/dad/spouse/daughter/son/sister/brother/grand-parents?

When was the last time...??

• you gave mom a hug?
• Gave her a call to ask her how she's doing?? 
• you told her you loved her?
• you showed her you care?
• you wiped her tear away when she cried?
• you seen her sigh and asked her what was bothering her?
• you happily ran an errand for her?
• you gave her a gift?
• you seen her sick and took care of her?
• you prayed for her or with her?
• you told her 'sorry' for hurting her?
• you rendered to her the honor and respect that was due to her?
• you talked to her kindly?
• you helped her with house-hold chores?
• you felt indebted to her for taking care of you as a child?

 Today take time to make your mom (if she's still around) (and don't forget dad!) feel special....
Tomorrow may be too late!
Trust this blessed you,

Julie

HERE BELOW IS A BEAUTIFUL E-MAIL I RECEIVED TODAY. PASS IT ON TO ANYONE WITH AGED PARENTS.

~FROM MOM TO DAUGHTER~

 

Hold on and Don't give up!

Hi..

Is the road bumpy? 
Don't stop...God will make a way, where there seems to be no way....

Is the Night dark(it's meant to be so)?
 Don't quit...Light will break-forth soon...

Has the wait been long?
 Hold on...your answer is on the way...

God is watching, our God is faithful and He is a God of surprises.

Many battles are lost at the discouragement and disappointment.

~The Payment due may be on it's way.

~The apology may be in the making,

~The healing will come,

~Restoration on the way,

~The job contract ready,

So...don't quit.

Remember..."QUITTERS NEVER WIN AND WINNERS NEVER QUIT."

ISAIAH 40: 31.."but those who hope in the LORD
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint."

Hold on and don't give up.

A dream...Psalm 23

Hi...  I once got a dream...In the dream I'm calling a sister from Church and telling her..."Hi sis I'm very tired ..physically drained out" ( I literally was feeling that way as I had over exerted myself doing lot of cleaning etc) She told me.."Julia just keep saying Psalm 23 over & over again"That's all, soon after my alarm rang and I woke up and it was 6.15 AM. Thought of starting to say "Psalm 23". But as soon as I said the 1st verse...my mind got jammed with so..many voices saying different verses of Psalm 23 at the same time...just to confuse me and I could not go beyond verse 1.. I knew the enemy was disturbing my thoughts. (He too can quote scriptures..:) he did not want me to say Psalm 23. So opened the Bible and read that Psalm. Psalm 23 A psalm of David.  1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.  2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,        he leads me beside quiet waters,  3 he restores my soul.        He guides me in paths of righteousness        for his name's sake.  4 Even though I walk        through the valley of the shadow of death,        I will fear no evil,        for you are with me;        your rod and your staff,        they comfort me.  5 You prepare a table before me        in the presence of my enemies.        You anoint my head with oil;        my cup overflows.  6 Surely goodness and love will follow me        all the days of my life,        and I will dwell in the house of the LORD        forever. Then through the day I kept repeating "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD" and really felt my strength renewed... Guess what I was just about to sign out of Multiply that night and the last posting I saw in my in box was from a sister in Christ Lani and was titled.. was titled "Psalm 23".. So I clicked to open it but the page just froze.. But I was not going to give up.. Kept refreshing and read it.... Coincidence?? No I think God wanted me to read it again... Is He strengthening me or preparing me for something?? Is that a word of encouragement and comfort?? PRAISE GOD FOR HIS WORD.. It always refreshes, restores, edifies, strengthens. This was Lani's post.  The Lord is my shepherd................that's a Relationship ! I shall not want.........that's Supply ! He maketh me to lie down in green pastures..........that's Rest ! He leadeth me beside the still waters........that's Refreshment ! He restoreth my soul.........that's Healing ! He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.......that's Guidance ! For His name sake.......that's Purpose ! Yea,though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death.......that's testing ! I will fear no evil.......that's Protection ! For Thou art with me......that's Faithfulness ! Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me........that's Discipline ! Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine Enemies.....that's Hope ! Thou annointest my head with oil.........that's Consecration ! My cup runneth over........that's Abundance ! Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.........that's Blessing ! And I will dwell in the house of the Lord........that's Security ! Forever...........that's Eternity ! Have a blessed day Julia
