Throwing Out a Life LIne

Image result for john 3;16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

It has come to my attention that I have about 30 folks who visit my blog   several times a week,  who  never   respond   in a message to me,  but  apparently  come,, I do not know why...  is there something here that draws them,  or are they simply voyeurs who  enjoy peeping into the lives of others.  I would prefer that any who visited here would  leave a message, even as brief as  it may be,  because I lived through  a few years of having a peeping tom  come around our home  as a teen and  it was very uncomfortable.  He was finally found out and reported to the authorities  and that was the end of it...  But in this case,  I realize  even as you  may think you are hiding    there is one who follows you around everywhere you go... One who knows everything about you,who  knows every thought you ever had,  every word you've ever spoken,  every deed you ever done In public and behind closed doors.. and He loves you any way..     For 
 Psalm 139:13-16  David,   a king of Israel and  a great sinner, said of God
"For you,  God, created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." 

And that same God  has followed you all the days of your life  because he is seeking  you..    His Holy Spirit is drawing you out of  the dark and into His marvelous light!

Because 2000 years ago, Paul, a missionary to Rome wrote, as inspired by the Spirit Romans 5:8
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

  Thus begins a daily writing  on the topic of How to  Be Saved  and come into a love relationship  with the One True God!

Why would I take my time to do this, you ask?

Because in this world I do not know how anyone can live without  God, His protection, His oversight,  His invitation to  come into His throne room  at any time day or night through prayer  and fellowship...  the news  blasts out such obscenities,  such  hatred and lies, such  threat of war and    unrest,  a life without God  must be dismal, indeed...  hopeless in the face of oblivion!  With a simple confession of faith,  the lost  are automatically found,  rescued from the darkness into His glorious light!  Instead of being set adrift,  they  become anchored to the  giver of life and the Creator of the Universe.  I cannot imagine not  taking that simple step..   what is that step

so simple

Paul wrote,  as inspired by  the Spirit

that if you confess with your mouth "Jesus [is] Lord" and believe in your heart that God raised him  Jesus from the dead, you will be saved.


I used to teach this to 4 year olds in my  Sunday school classes and they got it..    even with  their  young minds..  you do not try to explain it...  because  things of the Spirit  are not  naturally understood..  we believe by faith, because it is the Word of God.. and  Jesus is the Word...!!!!

You might  try to outwit me and say   how do we know the Bible is true...
  Scholars  smarter and wiser than you or I have  proven it every which way  ..  science has proven much  of  what  nay sayers said for years  couldn't be true... Creation,...  the age of the world,  explained  how man and dinosaurs  walked the earth together. If you continue to be a naysayer  then you are out of touch with  the scholars of today.  and  chances are you a re choosing to  believe  the lies of the enemy  who is perfectly satisfied if you never come to know God ..
I hope I have given you  something to think about.. and if you come back  I choose to beleive the Holy Spirit is drawing you back...  and  you  might like to know the Holy Spirit is  irresistible..  I am praying for you..  Prayers are powerful and  do not return to me void.. so  God bless you  who ever you are.  But if you decide to come back,  be  a good neighbor and say hi at least.

  1. Hi, I’m Mary, I don’t visit your blog regularly, but do stop by occasionally, maybe once a month or so. For me, I do read blog posts and do comment at a few blogs. I’m not a big talker (or writer).
