DO YOU RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR LIFE?

DO YOU RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR LIFE? God is with us EACH DAY- And every day in our lives HE is in each and every one Of us He is especially in The grieving=the brokenhearted -and Those of us Who are BROKEN IN SPIRIT “........ There is one among you Whom you do NOT RECOGNIZE ….....” John 1:26 One of my FAVORITE READINGS Or messages in the bible Are the BEATITUDES And I especially TRY to incorporate this (And these)= into my life “BLESSED are the POOR IN SPIRIT For theirs is The kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:3 BLESSED are those Who mourn For they will be COMFORTED” Matthew 5:4 (and the BEATITUDES continue through Matthew 5:11) Do you RECOGNIZE GOD in the poor And brokenhearted people in this world? The people in NEED- Because that is WHERE God is at In today's world And that is WHERE=WHO God And Jesus are asking you to HELP “The Lord is CLOSE To the brokenhearted And SAVES those Who are CRUSHED in spirit” Psalm 34:18 “HE HEALS the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds” Psalm 147:3 Do you RECOGNIZE God In the poor-in the homeless- In the NEEDY? Do you recognize God In the widows-and-in the orphans? Do you recognize God IN YOUR LIFE? “Religion that God our FATHER ACCEPTS As pure and faultless is this: To LOOK after orphans and widows In their distress And to keep oneself From being polluted By the world” James 1:27 It is NATURAL If you think about it FIND GOD in the children Find God in the aged Find God in the Sick and forlorn Find God in those WHO HAVE NEEDS OUR GOD is ALWAYS near To us-in HEART He is with us When we are laughing An when we are crying In this NEW YEAR Take HEED of John the BAPTIST'S call: “Make STRAIGHT The way of the LORD” John 1:23 Dear Lord=WE PRAY HELP US to recognize you today In the FACE of those Who are in NEED=every day= And in every way “By their fruit- You will RECOGNIZE them” Matthew 7:16 DEAR LORD= You are right here -Sitting within us -And right beside us HELP us-to recognize you -Dear Lord-right here-IN OUR HEARTS And right here In the NEEDS of others- Who are BROKEN You are-right here-ALIVE- In our world- IN THE NEEDS OF OTHERS Robert P.
