If.We.Are.The.Body.

I crowded in worship today

As she slips in Trying to fade into the faces

The girls' teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know

Farther than they know

But if we are the Body

Why aren't His arms reaching

Why aren't His hands healing

Why aren't His words teaching

And if we are the Body

Why aren't His feet going

Why is His love not showing them there is a way

There is a way

A traveler is far away from home

He sheds his coat

And quietly sinks into the back row

The weight of their judgmental glances tells him that his chances

Are better out on the road

But if we are the Body

Why aren't His arms reaching

Why aren't His hands healing

Why aren't His words teaching

And if we are the Body

Why aren't His feet going

Why is His love not showing them there is a way

Jesus paid much too high a price

For us to pick and choose who should come
And we are the Body of Christ

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 12:
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31But eagerly desire the greater gifts. And now I will show you the most excellent way.

The apostle Paul in his letter to the people in Corinth.. and he was teaching them about the gifts that have been given to us.. and he compares the church as the Body of Christ.. If we are christians and we attend to a church every sunday and somehow we are serving.. we are called to be the Body of Christ.. With a purpose.. with a MISSION..

Right now around the whole world there are people dying and screaming for love and afection.. they are hunger but more then physical hunger is a spiritual hunger that cries out to us.. To us the ones to who has been given the work to bring them to the feet of Christ.. But there is a big problem.. It seems that the Body of Christ is so tired lately.. Tired of living routine.. It seems that the Body is so concentrate in its own life and world.. that has forgotten about the task that was entrusted it to do..

Theres so much work to do.. So many places to go.. So many people to reach... A lot of souls that need to be saved that need to know the truth.. that need to see life.. Real life..

The first part of this blog is a song.. and it really hit me hard.. I am part of the Body and I want to reach, to teach, to go, to show the love that I once recieved..

Are you part of the Body?!

New.Beginning!

God had a perfect plan for me, a new beginning!
I will wirte more about it later..

God Bless You!

I.Am.Loved!

*I have loved you says the LORD* Malachi 1:2

How does it make you feel to know that someone loves you? Many people are just a little uneasy when someone comes up to them and says: "I love you".
We all have a need to be loved. When people are difficult to understand, when I wonder what makes them thick, I find that what they most need, ad what they most want, is to be loved. Theres nothing that breaks the hardest heart like the feeling of being loved. All of us can face terrible opposition and suffering if we feel approved of, accepted, and loved by someone whose opinion matters to us.

Theres an even greater feeling that knowing another person loves you, and that is knowing that is knowing that God loves you. There is no greater feeling than that. When I feel that God loves me and approves of me, I can face a thousand foes. And the message af Malachi is just that, You are loved. We all have skeletons in our closets, and God knows every of them, yet He still says, "I LOVE YOU".

I hope you can be touched by this.. and I hope you have a great day!

God's.Thoughts!

I am here right now looking at Jon.. how is he writing God's thoughts.. it makes me happy to know that God speaks to him and shares with him His thoughts and heart..
It made me think how much have I spent listening God's heart?! How many times I have heard His sweet voice?!
The truth is that when the time to start reading the Bible or praying I feel so tired and I really dont want to do it.. But then I start thinking about the wonderful things that the Bible talks about and how I am blessed with the things I read.. I want my heart to be more like Jesus' I want to feel His presence and smell His aroma.. I want to feel His warm embrace and be touched by His hand..

Lord. I am so sorry about those times that you have tried to talk to me and I seem just to distracted.. or when you are trying to get my attention with the circumstances around me.. I am sorry about being selfich and just being so focused in my-self.. the truth is that I want to know You more and more.. and serve You with more of my heart.. with all the things I do.. You are the King of my heart in Your hands is my life.. my days you have them counted.. Here is my heart Lord, change it.. break it if is necessary and put a new one in my.. Show me your will.. give me purpose.. show me the way that I need to take to go to your heart.. I need you.. I need your help.. I cant do this myself.. You are the Only One who can undo what I became.. Clean me my sin.. Revel to me whats wrong in my heart and mind.. I wanna be more like you and share the whole world about you.. Take me higher fill me with your love.. I am Yours!
Amen

Right now I feel like my life is just going all wierd.. I am 17 years old and married.. I believe that it is God's will to be married to this awesme man of God.. but I still need to have my mind focused on God and in what He wants me to do.. I just need direction and prayer.. I need to understad God's will for me..

Thank you for reading this.. I just wanted to share my heart.. God bless you!

What.Is.Love?!

*Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs* 1st Corinthians 13:4-5

A fresh definition of love can be quite difficult to come by. A two word definition is "selfless concern", and if I had to narrow it to one word, it would be "unselfishness" or "brokenness". That is what Paul ment by "the most excellent way".

Frist, Paul describes love as grace renewed. In 2nd Corinthians 3:18 he says: "And we... being transformed into His likeness with ever-incraesing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." Believers often find themselves going from glory to glory in Church or in their quiet time. Often the transition is accompanied by suffering, but every experience of being changed carries with it a fresh baptism of love, of unselfishness. Its like tha calm after the storm. Its this calm that is described in 1st Corinthians 13:4-5. This is a description of grace renewed. It is not only a renewal of faith and trust, but it is a peace that is devoid of bitterness.

Second, Paul describes love as a guilt removed, and that in two ways: first, we dont feel guilty, and second, we dont make others feel guilty. When grace is renewed and we are changed from glory to glory. the guilt is removed, and we feel so good. Guilt is the most crippling thing in the world. But when guilty feeling is gone, the need to make others feel guilty is not there. It is when we feel totally fogiven, totally absloved, that we will find it easy to forgive others.

Third, it is also a description of the Golden Rule: "In everything, do to others what you would have them to do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets " Matt. 7:12 In others words, treat people the way you would like them to treat you. How do you feel whan people make you feel guilty?! How do you feel when people blame you?! It makes you feel like dirt; you feel awful. God keeps no record of wrongs.

Perhaps your marriage is in trouble. If that is the case, start living like this. Dont wait for your husband or wife to do it. You do it. It will heal your marriage. "Do to others what you would like them to do to you".

This is my devotional of today and it really wa a blessing for me.. I need to start living for others and not for myself.. Start doing to other what I would like them to do to me and stop my selfishness so I can become more like Jesus.
I hope you can learn from this as I did.. Have a good day! Blessings!
