Almost Not Here...

-

I do not know where I would be today If it were not for the sovereign grace of God.  Things could have turned out a lot worser than they really are. I could have almost been a casualty of death.  But I did not die in that car wreck. I can think of all the alternates I can name them all. 

I could have been a high school dropout. I could have rejected God when He called me at the age of 18. I could have not gone to Bible school or even met or married my college sweetheart.  I would not have any kids today if we had not adopted our two sons. My life would have been very different today if I were even alive. The world could have locked me away and threw away the key... I could be in hell right about now. 

When I think of the worst-case scenarios, which "almost" came true I can be more thankful of all those miracles called blessings I have today. Those decisions I made were actually in God's plan for me. Otherwise, all you would see is my tombstone or worse than not even been born... You see we all made the choices we have, or we would not be where we are right now in the center of God's supreme will.

Whether you believe it or not, you are in the midst of His plan for Your life.  We could have almost not even been born...we could have been aborted and our lives cut short.

We can think of how it could almost have been very different life for us.  All those other almost devastating scenarios could have been set in motion by my own decisions.

Oh, Sweet Jesus, thank you for your gift of grace upon my life. Forgive me when I doubt you and doubt what you have done. Be in every decision I make in my life and for the future.

    Amen to this! I've almost made the wrong choice many times, and who knows how many times I almost died or worse, but for the grace of God. Visiting from FMF#9

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
