SEEKING GOD?

Have you been actively SEARCHING-

Seeking God-with your whole heart?

And have you found him? I think

That you will-that I will-

IF we do it with intention-

With energy-and with EFFORT

“BLESSED are they who observe

God's decrees-who SEEK God-

With ALL their heart” Psalm 119:2

How about that? If we

Are actively seeking God-

We are BLESSED

And if we are actively

Seeking God-we are pursuing-

We are seeking God

Wit h all our heart

I think that that IMPLIES too-

We are SEEKING the most

Important TEACHINGS of God and Jesus

Actively seeking God?

LOVE GOD with your whole heart

Love your NEIGHBOR as yourself

FORGIVE 70 X 7-and

Live the BEATITUDES from

Jesus' famous teaching=

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

(Matthew chapters 5-6-and 7)

ACTIVELY seeking God-look a little DEEPER

You'll find him

LIVING in you-in that

DEEPEST part

Of your own soul

“The lions

May grow weak and hungry

But hose

Who seek the Lord

Lack no good thing” Psalm 34:10

“I love

THOSE who love me

And those-who SEEK me-

FIND ME” Proverbs 8:17

Are you seeking God?

Are you finding God?

KEEP LOOKING=you will find him

LIVING inside of you-and in

EVERY other living thing

“But seek first

His kingdom

And his righteousness

And ALL these things

(The necessities of life)

Will be GIVEN to you

As well” John 6:33

YES my dear friends

Let us seek God “WHOLEHEARTEDLY”

Let us seek God

With EVERY fiber of our being

Let us look for

THE HOLY ONE

Let us look for

The CHERISHED one

And WHEN we find him

We will indeed BE BLESSED

He will be in every

ASPECT of our lives

And it will be IMPOSSIBLE

For us to treat others

Without love

“ASK & it

Will be given to you

SEEK-and you will find

Knock-and the door

Will be OPENED to you

And everyone who asks-RECEIVES

The ONE who seeks-FINDS

And the one who knocks-

The DOOR will be opened” Matthew 7:7-8

SEEKING GOD?-you bet=and

FINDING HIM in the deep hearts

Of ourselves and in each other

In Jesus' name

REAL BEAUTY

AUGUST 18^th, 2012

REAL BEAUTY

Beauty is not only physical

The true beauty lies within

Deep within the soul

It is the unexpected kindness

We show to one another

It is the time we keep quiet

When we have been wronged

By the other

It is the times we forgive

And just go on

And continue to live

Physical beauty

Is pleasing to the eye

Sometimes it might even make you

Take a step back and sigh

But the real beauty

Lies deep within

It is the beauty that allows us

To keep going on

Even though

We know

We will never win

The real beauty

Is the beauty that

Lies deep within the heart

And soul

And it is true

Ps “One thing I ask of the Lord

This is what I seek

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

All the days of my life

And gaze upon the BEAUTY of the Lord

And to seek him in his temple” Psalm 27:4

“Charm is deceptive-and BEAUTY is fleeting

But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised” Proverbs 31:30

“Instead it should be that of your INNER self

The unfading BEAUTY of a gentle and quiet spirit

Which is of GREAT WORTH in God’s sight” 1 Peter 3:4
