Thirst no more!!

As I sit here in a computer that I do not own, typing away, I ask myself why I am doing it (why do I write in a blog). To tell you the truth, I'm not a great writer--shocking! lol But why am I doing it? I'll tell you... eventually. whaha.

I am doing it because even though I really don't know if you might be family, friend, acquaintance, or a complete stranger who happened to find this blog. I know one thing. we are all trying to get the most out of our day. sometimes we thing that being able to get the most out of things is perhaps making things fun, or making lots of money, or having the best things available, or winning a game, or being the most popular person on earth, or backyard. This is all but a grain of sand. I don't know if you know sand, but sand is pretty pretty small. it is usually accompanied by a lot of more sand. Anyhow, to give you an example as to what I am talking about; Many athletes have wondered "What now?" after being awarded the highest award for their sport. They worked so much to be the best of the best just so that they would ask themselves if there is something more.

With that being said, I will tell you why I write. I write because I want you to know and see for yourself that Jesus Satisfies! but not only that, you will have a new purpose in life. Jesus said to a woman close to a water well,

 "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:14)

This living water is not the type of water that you would literary drink. It is a spiritual, living water that you will can receive. But don't get me wrong, It is not given to you by force. I'm not trying to push this on you. I'm not trying to make you do anything. But I am telling you because I care about you and I don't want to see you miss out.

The next verse shows how the woman asked Jesus to give her this everlasting water that would make her thirst no more.....

"The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." (verse 15)

Aren't you tired of having to keep looking for that one thing that will "Satisfy" your everyday life?  Then ask Jesus to come in into your heart! and if Jesus is in your heart this is for you as well;

Stop looking for things that will only waste your time. Jesus is more than enough! so seek His Word, and see that He is always there by you, waiting for you to open your heart to Him. It is up to you.

Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart, waiting to see if you will invite Him in and give you Living water, that will satisfy you and give you everlasting life. 


What is Everlasting life?

Whiter Than Snow

These past days have been amazing. Last Saturday we got hit by a huge storm that went until about Monday evening, loads of snow came upon the great fields of Indiana and Northern states. The snow was perfect on Sunday. I was able to make the most round snowman I've ever built ( the past attempts had been not-quite-the-ideal-round-snowdude.). before I keep talking about the beauty of snow, and how much I love it-I want to share about Psalm 51....

the beauty of white.

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

² Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

³ For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

⁴ Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

⁵ Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

⁶ Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

⁷ Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

⁸ Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

⁹ Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.

¹⁰ Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

¹¹ Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

¹² Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

¹³ Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

¹⁴ Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

¹⁵ O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

¹⁶ For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

¹⁸ Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

¹⁹ Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar."

 What a chapter of Humility. I don't even know how to explain this chapter, it goes right to the point, straightforward and sweet. All I can say is once you ask for forgiveness God comes in and forgives you right away. You and I will keep doing things wrong, and that is why we need to keep coming to our knees and ask forgiveness, again, again, again, and again. He will make you white as snow! (vs. 7) Praising God is giving thanks for what He has done in your life, and will keep doing. (vs. 15)
Give your heart to God as a sacrifice, not because you are made too, but because you are willing to.

It takes a Broken heart ( humility) to realize that we are doing things wrong, making poor choices, getting angry at whatever, being impatient with family members-I have done all these things, and even more. But I know He will make me white as snow, if I am willing to ask him to forgive me. Friend do not keep your heart from God. He is waiting-waiting for you.
