John 10:28-30 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish

John 10:28-30 (New International Version, ©2011)


28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

The eternal promise....

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death...

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Romans 6:23 (NIV)

Man this is one of the scariest passages in the Bible and yet the most assuring.
The extremes of life and death.
Only God can save you for human nature is to sin
There is nothing that you do, will be perfect.
The pull in many directions will lead you to sin in some way or another.
Sometimes there are things you need to accept and work with
Once you figure out that you cannot do it alone then you need to reach out to God for assistance.
Rest assured that there will always be a hand reaching back down to you.
Thats the greatest gift you can expect.
Reach out...

A call for help

After a scary moment last week when if seemed like mum's neck was getting worse, God sent an angel in the form of a good doctor who not only administered medicine but also some patient words which hopefully healed the soul as well. Now it seems like great strides in improvement of her health.

In life there are no magical miracles...only the miracles of life that God has granted. It only need us to take a momement to look around and see the miracles that God does every day. From the moment you wake up and take a breath is a miracle in it's self. Give thanks for the simple things for it is in these that you find God's hand.

Age and deterioration of the body

Seems like what ever we do we can never turn back time. Time moves at a constant pace ever relentless, every moving. Watching my mum slowly deteriote is tough and knowing what could be ahead is scary. I have to place my faith in God that he will be there to hold my hand in these tough days to see me true.

I have to give thanks for the daily blessings that she is still mobile and can still handle the basic chores and taking care of herself. Each and every day that she can still move without assistance and has good coherance is a blessing.
