Don’t long for the good old days.

Ecclesiastes 7:10 Don’t long for “the good old days.” This is not wise. Admit it. You've done it. At one time or another, many of us indulge in remembering how good the past was when in reality – just maybe – it  wasn't   Perhaps it is human nature to look back through rose colored glasses to remember the good old days.  I've  done that, but then, in retrospect, I realize that the past  wasn't  that great. I've  just been through a long walk in the valley of shadows and I’m glad to be out of it. At times I remembered the good old days and I even wondered “what if I…” or “what if I  didn't …” Frankly, both options do not matter.   Don’t look back.   Move forward. God is a step ahead of you. 

Watch your path – Psalm 25:12

Psalm 25:12 (The Voice) MAY anyone who fears the Eternal be shown the path he should choose. What a morning!  Today I finally woke up and listened to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I've been in the valley of the shadow of death for a while and I’m not going to couch it with glamour. It has been deep and dark and my soul was stuck in park. What makes this revelation interesting is that I have a very vibrant relationship with the Holy Spirit … but…well…I was carrying on a very vibrant, one-sided relationship with the Lord!   It’s like telling your significant others that you love them, but it’s only from your mouth!

You see, Blanca, is known for doing thing life on her own!   I keep falling back into my old habits. I have to take captive all my own wandering...

Deserting Jesus – John 6:60

June 3, 2012 John 6:30 Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?” How many of you have turned away from the Lord? How many of you have felt the miraculous power of his healing love yet you’ve decided to chalk it up to an episode? You may think or feel like this but you must remember that Christianity is a walk with the living God and a way of life. Jesus is the life-blood that runs through our veins. Apart from our connection to God, we can’t live a sustainable life. Atheists will want you to prove it and other religions will add puff and fluff to make you feel better, but the fact remains that without Jesus, you and I have an underwhelming life. Accept him or not. God understands you. But consequences don't change.
