JUST ENOUGH for The Journey - NO, I Can't SHUT UP!!

Every day I wake up with great excitement as to what God will say to me and what He would have me to know about His love; His compassion; His faithfulness; His majesty; His greatness; His awesomeness, limitless, boundless, ageless and unmeasurable forgiveness for His creation!


When I open up His Word I lose track of time but I find my purpose. When I open up His Word I forget about my problems because I've grabbed ahold of His promises. When I open up His Word I no longer feel tired and sleepy but I receive energy and enthusiasm. When I open up His Word I leave the grips of pain and fear and I fall into the ever loving arms of Christ Jesus. When I open up His Word I see who I am in God's eye not what the world has condemned me to be. When I open up His Word I know that I can do all things in Christ Jesus who strengthens me!!


Every day when I open up God's Word I see all of these things and more. Even more overwhelming is the fact that His Word is not just speaking about me and what I can do and about who I am....NO, God's Word also includes all of these things about YOU ALSO!! So, NO, I CAN'T AND WON'T SHUT UP...I have something that I am compelled to tell you and I need to reminded of who I am at the same time. What I have is for both you and for me!


What God has is a blessing with our names on it!!  Come and get it!!



Oh, I'll guard with my life what you've revealed to me, guard it now, guard it ever; And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom; Then I'll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. (Psalm 119-44-46 The Message).
