Trust

" God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble . Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea." Psalm 46:1,2 .
          God will always be our refuge if we trust in Him at all times. When we pour out our heart to Him and declare His glory ( Jer 3:23). We then walk forward with no fear and speak boldly before the world. Even in these last day's, we will not fear. It speaks of the earth giving way and the mountains falling into the sea. Our trust and faith in the Lord brings us  peace in the fact that we will meet our Lord face to face when He returns. 
          What are you willing to do to see Him in all His glory? Are you tired of living in fear? Fear of the unknown? Well God reveals Himself throughout the Word. You would be amazed how your life can turn around and how the most troublesome times are just that...Time. Time passes on and the next minute appears before us. All of a sudden, the trouble was yesterday. The mourning only lasted a night, and this wonderful, explicable joy comes in the morning. Just by applying the word of " Trust " to your life and vocabulary in the name of Jesus, your life will change. 
          Step though your fear of the unknown and receive His wisdom and understanding. Live your new life  with peace and Love. To do all of this, just trust. Now that wasn't too hard?, was it? I know, because I have. 
                                          Love ya all,,,,,,,Jay

Take Up Your Cross And Follow Jesus

MT 16:24-28   " Then Jesus told His disciples, 'If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever losses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?  For the Son of Man is going to come with His angels in the glory of His Father,  and then He will repay each person according to what he has done. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.' " I had a conversation with my neighbor today and this topic came up. He talked about a preacher who left the pulpit because a woman had enticed him to sin. Sure, it takes two to tangle, but he should of had the conviction to say "No". I have the same decision in my life. I am alone and want companionship. there are some women who are single and yet, I find myself stepping back and saying "No". No to myself, because I don't just want a companion, I need someone I can share the Love of Christ with. I'm not a prude, sure I would love to have sex, but that's all it is, sex. What happened to searching for a relationship? A communion of like minds. 'Just sex' will not lead me down the path God has set before me. I know I've done wrong in the past and I will have to suffer for that, but you see, I asked for forgiveness and as long as I don't venture down that road again, I do have His promise of everlasting life with the Lord. I can't afford to lose His love and His blessings, so I fight the good fight and I do my best not to give up. It's  daily battle, but I'm still here. thank You Lord for calling me. I'm here for You, let's do this.        Jay

Guitar Art

I love the way this one came out. This is a photograph of a guitar my cousin has on his wish list. I ran it through that art program I have and I turned it into an oil painting. I would love to have this hanging on my wall.
