Come & Go - 'Cause He's Always Present

Here's a couple thoughts from my morning walk today.

What are some of the pillar truths in the kingdom?

Forever and always, God is GOOD. The gift of faith is given to us by the Holy Spirit so that we can know this, believe that Jesus has taken the required sacrifice for sins upon himself, and be saved. The entirety of the scripture points at the severity of sin in accordance with the law, and yet, God always finds a way to reveal his merciful and compassionate heart when we deserve judgement. 

COME! The Lord is ALWAYS inviting us to approach him, when we are good, bad, ugly. 'O come all you sinners...' and 'Come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden...' The Lord promises rest for our souls, that we might find salvation in His Presence. There is no greater comfort than to know that we cannot be separated from his love. There is no shame that originates from the heart of God, and therefore no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. We ought not fear the judgement of God, as fear is the anticipation of suffering - punishment. And as Pual says, those who have fear are not perfected in love.

He always was, is and will be a Father that loves us. He has always called us to walk toward Him, with Him, and to go into all the earth with the living testimony of His love for all. 

As an encouragement, know that you are not alone. Also, know that the Father has paved a way for you, and continues to make it possible to be who it is He made it you to be. He wants you to succeed, to prosper, to live long life, and follow His voice wherever He may call you. He's got you covered:

1. His Word is a light unto our path (Ps. 119)
2. He will give His angels charge over you (Ps. 91)
3. His Goodness and Mercy will follow you all the days of your life (Ps. 23)

GO! I walked by a railroad track today, and thought, the pillars of the kingdom are like these tracks, ties, nails. They have been laid down in submission to the purpose of the Father, to be in relationship with His highest creation - US!

We often talk about blazing trails, doing your own thing, being you, and going where no man has gone before. I have a feeling though, that there are some things that He intends for us to have at our disposal that do not need to be reinvented. Be consumed with His overwhelming goodness in your life, that your testimony will be the story that falls on deaf ears and makes way for faith to rise all around you. He is afterall, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

May the grace of God, as a gift that enables you to do what you couldn't do on your own, empower you to live knowing He's present, and that all things are possible when we know our Dad has our back - and our elder brother, our King Jesus has made it so sin, pain, shame, and guilt can no longer keep us from our destiny.

So go, live as though Heaven IS on Earth, celebrating, making melodies in your heart, songs with your mouth, and calling the lost home to the Father who desires to show them His Adoption!
