I Love God!

I know this is not the platform I normally use to talk about the Lord. I have a separate blog for this. What I usually post here is something in regards to my love of country, decorating and/ or family activities. Yes, I love country living it seems to be a part of my DNA to the point where I desire to live in the country and design my home in a such like theme. Country is me, just an old fashioned girl who loves country flavor, but then there is another side of me as well that loves other things besides country living and my family. I love Jesus as well. In Essence this blog shows you some of the events that take place in my life and if I did not include the one who is the utmost important to me it would be like only revealing a part of who I am.

Yesterday the East Coast experience the effect of a 5.9 earthquake that originated in Virginia but could be felt in many different states, ours included. It was an event that caught many off guard especially those who are not in areas prone to them happening on a regular. Many were freaked out and shaken for some time afterwards just not knowing what could follow. When things finally calmed down and we all began to try and get some rest later that evening it was hard not to think about God, and the fact that he sees and knows the things that are going on in the world that he abhors, and also the signs that the Holy Scriptures gives in regards to when the return of His Son, our Savior Christ Jesus, will be.

I can’t speak for other houses but then I am sure we are not alone in this great big world in proclaiming that we are doing our best to serve a loving and living God. None of us profess to be perfect other than in Christ Jesus but we strive to love others and treat people like we would want them to treat us. We believe in the Son of God; that he died for our sins and that we are saved by grace through Faith in him. We know that we alone can do nothing to erase the stain of sin that we each carry and that it is only the blood of Jesus that has the power to do so. It is in him we are forgiven when we trust what the Father sent him to do on our behalf.

It is so easy to get busy with the things of this world and even with others we share our lives with here but we should never forget the one who loves us most, the one that while we were yet sinners died for us and those who receive what he did on our behalf he has given the power to become sons of God. We believe in the power of his resurrection and that he will return to get us when he comes back to bring judgment upon the world. I say this to encourage all believers to never give up and for those who might not know the Lord to seek him while he may be found because time is drawing near, tomorrow is not promised to anyone. On a closing note I just want to post a few scriptures found in God's Holy Word, may the bless you and encourage you to think and/or seek him if you don’t already know our Wonderful and Mighty God and happen to be reading this. Peace and Blessings unto you all.

JOHN 1:1-4-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

JOHN 3:16-17- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

ROMANS 3:22-25- Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

ROMANS 10:9-11- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

ROMANS 5:8-12,18-19- But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

EPHESIANS 2:8-9- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
