HEALING

HEALING.

I have just had some very minor surgery done.

And, like you would do, each time I clean and 

dress the wound check to see how the healing 

is coming.

Then I began to think about the healing process.

Even the doctor, as smart as he is, cannot make 

it heal.  He can only assist in the healing process.

And, in my ignorance I cannot make it heal.  I can

only try to keep from hindering the healing process.

Then where does the healing come from?

Lets go back to the very start.  Modern man wants

me to think that somehow by pure chance something

came from nothing.  You know, nothing became 

something.  Then some how over eons of time the

something some how [Again, by pure chance.] acquired

life.  Call it a life force if you choose.  And then this 

life developed some how into the universe that we 

now know.  And, some where along the line developed

a healing process so it could continue to live without

dying off as it had in the past.

Come on now.  I am not very smart.  But even I am

smarter than that.  There is a designer or creator

behind every thing we develop in this life.  And

there is a creator behind the development of this 

universe, and you and me.  God, whether we like 

it or not.

And God, the source of life it's self is the source

of any and all healing that takes place in my 

body and yours.

HELP I'M UNATTRACTIVE AND DULL

Do you ever feel, lets just say plain, unattractive,

not the most becoming person in the group? [Hey,

I live there, I understand that.]  Like myself if it

had been up to you, you would have made yourself

a lot different.  Most of us would change something

about us in a minute, if we could.

Did you know that puts us in a very elite group?

Think about this for a moment.  The very creator

of the heavens and earth - Jesus Christ - became a

man so he could die as a sacrifice in our place, if

we will accept it.  He was the creator, so he could

have came as the kind of man he chose to be.  But

the Holy Scriptures teach us how he came:

"He had no dignity or beauty to make us take

notice of him. There was nothing attractive 

about him, nothing that would draw us to 

him.  We despised him and rejected him; he 

endured suffering and pain.  No one would 

even look at him - we ignored him as if he 

were nothing."

(Isaiah 53:2,3 GNT)   

Did you get that?

When Jesus Christ came to die in my place, 

he not only came as a sacrifice for me, but 

he came as "a nothing".  So common looking

that nothing about his looks made him stand 

out.

May I be content to be "a nothing" that he 

gave life to.  But may it all be for God.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

A good old fashion politically incorrect

GOD honoring 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

to you.

The world despises and rejects the very

God who created them.

But still:

"For God so loved the world

that He gave His only begotten 

Son, that whoever believes in 

Him should not perish but have

everlasting life."

(John 3:16 NKJV)

Let's embrace that first Christmas
gift that God sent to us.

REMEMBER:

JESUS IS THE REASON
FOR THE SEASON

GOD'S FAVOR

"But now says the LORD that created you,

O Jacob, and he that formed you, O Israel,

Fear not: for I have redeemed you,

I have called you by your name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you;

and through the rivers, they shall not

overflow you; when you walk through the fire,

you shall not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon you.

For I am the LORD your God,

the Holy One of Israel,

your Saviour:  I gave Egypt for your

ransom,  Ethiopia and Seba for you.

Since you were precious in my sight,

you have been honourable, and I have

loved you: therefore will I give men

for you, and people for your life.

Fear not: for I am with you: ..."

(Isaiah 43:1-5 AKJV)

God, the creator wants to love us with

the same love.   If we will come

into relationship with him.
