Trust God for the future

The price has been payed

Oh the sorrow of the cross
Oh the beatings he endured
The humiliation so deep and piercing
How can I stand and not be moved

Oh my Jesus my precious Saviour
So deep are the wounds within my soul
But you oh Lord have known them all
You bled and died for me

Beaten and scourged for our transgressions
Who can know the pain you felt
Walking the road to Calvary
Weak and in pain still you walked

To the hill of Golgotha
To cruel nails in hands and feet
But still you endured it all for me
Then at the last cried father forgive

Mary standing at the cross cries
Oh my child meek and mild
Oh the pain she must have endured
To see her child  die in agony

Who can understand the depths of sorrow
That Jesus our Saviour endured
But he alone was willing
To lay down his precious life

So heavenly Father
We your children here on earth
Lay down our lives and follow Jesus
To the cross of Calvary

We take up the cross
No matter what it entails
As a sacrifice of worship
To Jesus the Saviour of the world

A popular singer in the 80 song I am the one and only, nobody I’d rather be.

There is only one you. You are unique, you are not the same as everyone else, you have had a different upbringing, and home influences. Although people have had similar experiences they have not been through exactly the same, so there will be different feelings, attitudes and thoughts etc.

God created each one of us in our mother’s womb, he knitted us together and interwove our personalities and talents and everything that made us who we are today. He gave us different friends and family and experiences and influences.

So therefor we can’t look at others people and say we wish we were someone else because it’s just impossible, we can let them influence us for the better but we can never become them

So therefor we cannot look at other people and say that they are better than us and if we were more like them that God would love us more and be more pleased with us

God has a plan for each one of us, that is individual to us and nobody else can do what God has called you to do. He takes your past and your experiences and takes all the bad things that have happened and turns them into good if we will only trust him and submit it all to him daily

He can use us as individuals to help and encourage someone who is going through the same thing. He knew us before we were even conceived so he knew what people we could help and influence and he also knew what people would help and influence us.

So don’t think God cannot use you or think to be like a certain person to be any use to God, he takes us just as we are in the situations we are in and are going through

You are unique and special in the eyes of your loving father, allow those unique qualities and the love of Christ to sink deep into your heart and change you and give you a goal and a purpose that only you can have

For the greatest goal and purpose we have is to bring the kingdom of God into this world by sharing the gospel with people and baptizing them in the name of Jesus

Journey Into Hope - Julie Clark : Xlibris

I was resting in bed thinking about getting up when I saw myself in a dark pit 
Sadness, frustration, fear, anger and many more things can send us into a pit
That is when we have some choices to make 

One would be to curl up in the fetal position and give up trying all together.
This would have a devastating effect on the people who love and care for us
It would help for a while but in the end we would shrivel up through lack of light and warmth

 The other option would be to stand on our feet and look up out of the pit
And wish and pray and fret and moan  we can see the answer but we just stand there and look out
This is ok but we would get no where fast
We need to take action to get out of a pit

The third  option is that we actually start trying to get out of the pit by our own strength
We climb and claw at branches and twigs and maybe friends and family
But more often then not we fall back down
 Because at the end of the day other people are only human too

But finally we come to our senses with the fourth option
And as we look up a light lighter the sun comes shining into our pit
And a voice calls out I love you my child can I give you a hand
And a hand reaches out and all we have to do is take it
And receive Love and peace and joy once again

Sooo if we are in a pit what would we do today
If anyone is in a pit today please don't think im having a go
Or thinking that you are weak
But I know that my Jesus is able to help
And bring you saftly to the light of the day
