you are not forgotten


Jeremiah 31:3  NKJV
The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:“Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.

Have you ever felt forgotten?  I have. Many times that feeling that of being alone, forgotten and hopeless have hit many of us, if not most of us. Those thoughts don't come from God. 

God says we are never alone.  You are important to God.

Matthew 10:29-31  NKJV
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

That is a clear picture of how God is capable of knowing all and caring for each of us.  He really does care for us.  No one is missed.  No one is forgotten.  

“God can do more in a moment than you can do in a lifetime.”  -- Joyce Meyer

Many people throughout the Bible impress us by serving and loving others, and sharing God and his blessings. You know those stories. They really are God's story of being for the underdog and the person in need. 

We will go further, believe deeper and help others more when we realize that we are loved and not forgotten.  It might be time for you to stop listening to yourself and start listening to God. Allow the fact that He thinks of you and loves you to sink in.  Nothing changes those facts.

Romans 8:31,38-39  NKJV
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? … For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Maybe you will realize today that you are the person in need. You have thought that God has forgotten you. That is just not true. These verses include a promise we must claim. 

Psalms 86:13 NKJV
For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
