I Am Convinced

I am convinced that once we are saved, we are forever saved. Once God has placed any of us into His hand there is nothing that can snatch us out of it. In the book "Breaking Free" by Beth Moore she writes," All our lives God retains the strong feelings toward us that infants evoke in their parents because He never has to let us go! He's not rearing us to leave home! God is rearing us to come home! Is that not a comforting thought. Once we are His we will forever be His because of a Love that we cannot begin to grasp. A Love that is unfailing, that is undefiled, that stoops down to lift us up, that is pure and good, and that will last for eternity.
This will be a short message for this post because just as I will do this evening, before these eyes close for slumber, I ask that you meditate on this Scripture. I ask that you read these words and the Word that follows with all your heart. I ask that you let it reach into that place that knows despair, that knows emptiness, and let it take hold. I ask that you see the Truth in the meaning of these passages and believe it! Believe it because the Holy Spirit will tell you it is true, because it is our Hope, and because you belong to God. You need to know such things so that Satan has no power over you any longer my friends. The evil one has only a short time left, but you await an eternity in the presence of the Living God and our Lord Jesus Christ. And this is the passages I ask so much of you to imprint in your spirit,
Rom. 8:38-39
--I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to seperate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord--

May the Love and Peace of Jesus Christ be graciously given

Remember

Remember, before you exalt yourself above others. In those times when you speak to others of how far you have come. When you converse with your friends of how far a journey they have yet to travel, before reaching such a height, which you have already attained. Remember those times when you see a long haired man with tatoos who is adorned with several piercings on his body and you choose to avoid him because you have already judged him. Remember that none of us are good enough nor will we ever be able to do anything that will ever come close in all our lives to such a gift that God has freely given us.
Remember, we are Christians because unlike others we know we have failed. We know that God did for us what we could not through our Lord Jesus Christ and that is what gives us our name; Christian. Do you know God? Then you know the Love in which we are all to share and show to others. The Love of God of Jesus Christ connected through what our Father in heaven sent to us on the day of Pentecost. Such a love as to build up relationships so as not to allow the devil to cause division, resentment, broken hearts, tear filled eyes, or prideful perceptions.
Always remember the Grace God has bestowed to His chosen and walk in it. Know that if you want to be exalted then you must be willing to become the lowest as it says in Matthew 22:12,
12 Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be raised to
honor.
We are to follow Jesus' examples of sitting next to the Samaritan woman and washing the feet of His own disciples. Always remember that God is for you and if God be for you, who can be against you?
