Our purpose for living as followers of Christ is to FOLLOW Him. What a challenge and privilege we have been given. Every day is another opportunity to reach for the prize of THAT high calling. Mold me, make me and break me into HIS Likeness. You are the Potter and we are the Clay.
Have you ever wanted to trade your life for another, someone famous maybe.
Like an actor, sports figure, artist, singer, or someone you admire. To be able to live how they live, drive what they drive, eat where they eat, travel where they travel, do what they do. Many would say NO WAY!!! Others, ya, I’ll take it all. For me Not I, but HE. Not very many days go by, without me thinking I want to be like HIM. ALL OF HIM. There is a way to be completely Transformed into the image of Christ HERE and NOW. Not in the sweet bye and bye, but in the present day called Today. He is COMING in a way you might not think. Even so Lord Jesus, Come quickly.
An echo is a repeat, reverberation, sound or go again.
There are many echo’s in our world today. Men and women continually repeating, interpreting, analyzing, criticizing or eulogizing (Praising) the statements and actions of others.
Be sure NOT to give heed to an echo, but yearn to hear HIS voice and then Follow
John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Perfect Love casteth out fear. That is exactly what I feel with our dog, Roxy. No judgment, no expectations, no ridicule, no worries, no sadness, no pain and NO REGRETS. When I come home from work Roxy goes wild with love and affection and she cannot wait for me to come into the house and sit in the chair, so she can jump up and lick my face. She transforms me every time with her love for me. HOW much MORE does the Love of God transform us. Just like Roxy, my Father’s love for me is pure, simple and instant.
TODAY is another opportunity to begin again in the Road to Transformation or Change. My life and YOUR life begins TODAY. Regardless of who you are and the success or failure of the past, today is the FIRST day of the rest of life.
Lamentations 3: 21-26
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD
Yes every morning, because of the Fathers mercies we are not consumed. It is because of the Lamb that was slain that we can live again with the hope of better tomorrow.
Start your NEW DAY with this prayer. It IS life Changing.
Matthew 6: 9-13
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
