Things Overlooked



Isn't it amazing how God made everything? The things that we just take for granted, things overlooked. For example, look at your hand. All those grooves and the fingerprints. Maybe you have some marks on yours, or your fingers bend a certain way? Yet God took the time to make every single little groove and every single cell in that hand. Every bone and every finger, God took time to make each one a little different and unique. You may think " my hands are ugly." Well think of all that you can do with them; grab, pet, write, touch and so much more.
Now think of those that don't have any hands. Those people who can't run their fingers through their daughter's hair, or those who have no eyes to see the rain that they feel on their face. Those who are not able to walk, but sit for the rest of their lives.
Are we not privileged? Having legs to walk, eyes to see and hands to feel with. Yet sometimes we take most things for granted; the stars, the moon, birds, flowers, music, chocolate cake or a fresh cool breeze... we just need to take time out of our day and give thanks to God for all that he's done.
Thanks for reading and may God keep blessing you everyday.

Ephesians 2:8-10

Hi Everyone!
Haven't posted in a long time... eh but what else is new? Anyways someone asked me (a very long time ago, oops) what was my opinion on Ephesians chapter two, verses eight through ten. which states:

"8. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God

9. Not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10. For we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should work in them."


In my opinion-


verse 8. For by grace... through faith
I think grace is the base for which God saves the sinner and faith is the medium for which the believers receive salvation. (vea- Romans 3:24)


verse 9. Not of works
Salvation is NOT by what we can do (no matter how good we are) for if it were by good deeds it would exclude the divine grace.
verse 10. His workmanship...
The believer is a new creation (vea- 2Chorithians 5:17) created by God for his Glory.
Good Works- Salvation is not by deeds/works (vea- verse 9) but it is evident that good deeds/works are the fruit of salvation (vea- James 2:18)
Well there you have it,God bless and stay faithful!

The one continued(FINALLY!)

Hi every one! I haven't posted for a long time! I'm sorry please forgive me... things happen. So what I've figured out is that when it comes to love and "the one" you need three things.

1) God

2)Patience!!!

3)and of course guidance...

Why is God number one? well, first off God should be ALWAYS first! If you love God first and above all things then the rest God will take care of. Like the Bible sais "...God is love"(1 Jhn. 4:8) so before you go out and try and find the "one" you must first seek God. Trust me it works a lot better that way!

You also need patience, it is very rare that God will just give you something right out of thin air! God works in mysterious ways, and remember his will is ALWAYS best. Our human minds just can't understand the mind of God... but if he sais to wait it's for your own good. Pray for patience soon you will be focused on God and before you know it, He rewards you with a special someone!

Pray for guidance, if you're really desperate for love (as if God didn't give you enough =P) . Tell him what you need and what you think the right person for you might be. Remember though God knows whats best for you (he is the one who made you!) so He might not give you what you ask.

okay that's it, I'll get back to this subject some other time,(if wanted) and I'll find some more Bible verses! thanks for reading and God bless you! =(-.-)= i need a nap...
