HE See My Heart

-

People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart...

I Samuel 16:7

I am pretty introverted and quiet in person all my life. Writing has always been my passion and an outlet for me. I do not know why I'm like this, but it is what it is. I am sixty years old and unless the good Lord changes my personality, I don't see me changing. A lot of people have judged me in the past because of my outward disposition. 

But something really transpires when I write, my mind dislodges all these words, and I am filled and can relate better with my writing.  I am a much different person on the outside, I am reserved and shy and frankly I do not have much to say. I don't have a happy go lucky personality by far. I am not a people person and very introverted.

I just cannot see this as a bad thing. God made me this way for a reason. My giftings are just different...If I see myself through everyone else's lenses, I will never measure up. I have to see myself as God sees me from His perspective.

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us."  Romans 12:6

I do not know why I am like this. Again, it is what it is. I am very reserved and solemn in person. My heart is deeply rooted and hidden in Christ literally. That is what I really and truly believe.

Maybe you cannot tell from my outward appearance, but I love Jesus very much. He has brought me through many trials and sufferings.  I am at peace and assurance of my salvation and know one day I will be with Jesus in heaven. I am pretty confident and strong in that faith.

I know God sees and knows my heart more than anyone else.  I really believe I have been hidden with Christ. I am sure there are other writers like this. When Jesus is revealed then I will be revealed I believe with all my heart.

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.
