SEASONS!

 To everything there is a season,  A time for every purpose under heaven. 

 Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)


Each season in nature brings change. Depending on where you live in this world, you may already see signs of the seasons in nature changing.  The beautiful hues of gold, orange, yellow, etc (their natural colors) bursting forth before the leaves fall to the ground..

During the summer season, their God given true colors are overshadowed by the chlorophyll (the green pigment in plants) as it rises when the season changes from winter into spring/summer.  These changes are programmed into plant DNA and orchestrated by God.

Genesis 1:26 lets us know that man was created in the image of God, but because of the sin of disobedience by Adam and Eve in the garden, we are all born into sin.  The “God nature” (image of God) is overshadowed by that sin nature in much the same way the chlorophyll overshadows the natural color of leaves.

Before we come to Christ, each of us lived in a season of sin prone to ungodliness.  I thank the Lord for the plan of salvation!  In order for one to change or transition from that season of sinfulness to one that worships, honors, and glorifies God, one has to have  a heart and mind change (1 John 1:9).  This is a decision that each person has to make for themself.  Then and only then are we able to allow our “God nature”, who we were truly created to be,  to manifest and be expressed.   If you have not made that decision or commitment to Christ, now is the acceptable time as He is knocking at the door of your heart. He can transform your life, but He is a gentleman.   Revelation 3:20 (NKJV) reads, Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (The emphasis is mine.)

Blessings.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.    1 John 1:9  (NKJV)

Elohim, The God of Creation

Image
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
