All For His Glory

He is God! He is Good!  Ten years ago this year, I surrendered my heart to Jesus Christ at a Good Friday evening service by Pastor Pancho at Montebello Park. I was alone and at the altar call, I ran like my life depended upon it, because it truly did. My life as I knew it, would change,   forever.  At first I couldn't imagine what was "Good" about hurting my Jesus and brutally beating Him all the way to the Cross. But, the Good in "Good Friday" is that God made Him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God. Wow!! That just blows my mind!! Seriously!! Christ never sinned! But He was treated like a sinner all the way to the Cross so that you and I can live a life of unconditional love, faith, hope, mercy, grace in peace with our Savior. Our Heavenly Father wants all of us to have an opportunity to know Jesus personally by receiving Him into our he...

Quiet Time With Our Heavenly Conductor  Jeremiah 29:13- You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. We all know how busy life can be. The daily demands can run us dry and at times even get us into a funk if we are not careful or guarded. But I believe that only happens when we are not intentional about making time to meet with God intimately. He is always close, so if you ever feel like He is not near, it's not because He's left you, (Deuteronomy 31:6). Christianity is not a legal relationship, it is a love relationship with our Heavenly Conductor. God wants to lead us in this journey called life through His Word. The more we fall in love with Gods word, the more we know Him and the closer we are to Him.  Visualize your quiet time as if you are riding on a spiritual train called "Heaven Bound" and you are Gods VIP passenger. The train is running on a track called revelation and obedience with a bright light shining...

In our Potters Hands This morning at Church, we had a guest Pastor, John Thomas. He displayed such a heartfelt illustration of clay being molded into a beautiful pitcher. A vessel to be used to pour into others. As Christians, we too are molded into the imagi ne of Jesus Christ. God pours into us, so that we can pour into others.  Did you ever have a class where you had the chance to mold clay into a beautiful piece? I did. And when the Pastor gave us the visual of such scene, I remembered that I frustrated and ended up creating an ashtray!! I laughed with him because that is exactly what he says most people end up making after giving up on the initial piece they were set out to create. What goes into an ashtray? Ashes. And then I remembered, God makes beauty from ashes!  #thankful As the clay sits on this spinning wheel, we need to yield with it, in order to finish with a beautiful pot. God desires to do the same with us. We are His clay and He wants to con...
