Text of the page (random words):
hand will be on your back a prayer the most basic and uncomplicated childhood prayer now i lay me down to sleep stand near i ask you lord my soul to keep stay here protect me in the dark of night i fear and wake me with your morning light oh hear that s the prayer i prayed every night until i fell off the edge of the world figuratively speaking i added those parentheticals today like written emoticons but god answered those prayers far into my future without my awareness awareness came long after their utterance but god is a mighty little phrase is it not unaware of my future falling away i had told him i would go to sleep spiritually how did i know how did i know to ask him to keep my soul safe and protect me during the coming dark times i didn t they were just prayers often said by rote or habit without thinking of their meaning yet what i asked he did he provided the knowledge and the meaning for me perhaps i held just a grain a seed of meaning in my heart that he saw i hope that is the way it was he did stand by me he did stay near when i was oblivious and should have been in terrified fear for my soul looking back he was there i know that now he was with me keeping my soul through many dark nights and days that i didn t even perceive as being dark he heard he protected not only my soul but my body through the course of living i could have and should have died many times his hand was on my back just as it is as i write this even this i could not do without him standing close this is the best part he did awaken me with his light and to his light and i shall hold

in its time he has also set eternity in the human heart yet no one can fathom what god has done from beginning to end ecclesiastes 3 11 emphasis mine a similar note is heard in the phrase god imparts that of himself into every human heart someone noteworthy said that and i d like to cite them but i don t remember who they are and my searches have been fruitless nevertheless the truth in that phrase is confirmed by romans 1 18 20 the wrath of god is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people who suppress the truth by their wickedness since what may be known about god is plain to them because god has made it plain to them for since the creation of the world god s invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen being understood from what has been made so that people are without excuse highlights mine god has set the spark of eternal things in the human heart as well as what we refer to as that of himself these are difficult concepts for many people but when one remembers that we are created in his image and likeness they become easier does not the master artist leave that of himself in every created masterpiece every brush stroke every splash of color every bit of texture every unique nuance and technique of composition can be recognized as being of that master it speaks of who he is what he s done his qualities and his nature our creator has left his prints on our inmost being and his signature on our souls let us not foolishly cover them over or suppress their truths by our rebellious selfishness that can only leave an empty place a profoundly aching void far from here there are two other empty places in a different sense they are not far but close follow the dots on a map that designate the route the way to the empty cross where jesus suffered horribly or pick up the bible beside you the cross is right there close by that cruel post and beam being long empty of jesus was also the place of his profound emptiness on the darkest day can you imagine being completely alone in tremendous pain in the dark with no hope of rescue your loved ones even those who ve not turned their backs on you can do nothing and the one person you ve always relied upon and trusted is nowhere to be found you re mocked and abandoned and betrayed and forgotten empty like no one before nor since has been or ever will be soon after the cross itself would be emptied of his lifelessness to stand alone a timeless symbol of the selfless act of love without which we christians would be empty of life but there s more follow the path from the cross to the place where our saviour lord was entombed it s not far but it is a dark and lonely walk on the darkest day for the beloved is dead all hope is lost what was it he told us in our desolation we ve forgotten but the tomb s seal is broken the burdensome stone is rolled to the side his body is not inside the empty clothing says he is risen in concert with the angel s he is not here in shock we jump back as the whispering of ten thousand wings of light radiate out the door from a point inside spreading in an expanding cone like that of a megaphone or the bell of a horn it s the beginning of a small hope being amplified and multiplied he told us we would see him in galilee there is a symbol in mathematics meaning greater than that is what the expanding hope of the empty tomb looks like the hope of jesus resurrected and alive is indeed greater more than and far better than anything that has happened so far that hope is still flaring out having been proclaimed first by the eyewitnesses the men and women who first saw and thereafter by the people who heard from them directly by their spoken and written words i am but one small voice in the vast cone of the ray of expanding hope of the living jesus i ask you to join in if you re not here already for as many as received him and believed in him he gave them the right to become the children of god the cross and the tomb are empty like the open tomb the sacred inner temple of the kingdom of heaven also stands open its thick barrier curtain torn apart because of jesus loving sacrifice the three persons of the trinity invite us inside god has left the invitation on your heart and in your soul it is an eternal one it comes from that of himself please let us not ignore that wonderful invitation or set it aside it is clear as the light of day and we are without excuse happy resurrection sunday dear reader be filled with the expanding hope of christ jesus for he is risen he is risen indeed with love your gloryteller rate this share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook more email a link to a friend opens in new window email like loading image by gloryteller our mighty personal god 22 feb 2024 2 comments if i said to you god is a personal god what would you think how would you picture god as being your personal god the common explanation is that god can be thought of regarded and responded to as a personage although in this case the highest personage there is with whom one can interact like a fellow human rather than an impersonal abstraction this explanation certainly seems feasible since the second person in the holy trinity jesus was and is fully human and fully god exploring further i was thinking about how we humans interact with one another we talk together and discuss things we do things together we celebrate grieve rejoice encourage give gifts serve work and simply be together there is presence we are present with one another just as god is present with us as we do all the above things he is not only present but he desires to interact and participate with individuals as they navigate through life personal of relating to or based on the existence or presence of a person why would the all knowing all powerful ever present creator of everything want a close relationship with an ordinary human because he is our creator and he loves us intensely i don t fully understand why but he has made that fact quite clear before time began he drew our blueprint he worked out all our details with loving intention and fine tuned our design he is the cause we are the effect genesis 1 27 god created mankind in his own image male and female psalm 139 13 14 for you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother s womb i praise you because i am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful i know that full well jeremiah 1 5 before i formed you in the womb i knew you jeremiah 29 11 for i know the plans i have for you declares the lord plans to prosper you not to harm you for good and not for evil to give you a future and a hope isaiah 41 10 so do not fear for i am with you do not be dismayed for i am your god acts 17 27 that they should seek god and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him yet he is not far from each one of us matthew 1 23 behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a son and they shall call his name immanuel which means god with us hebrews 13 5 and be content with what you have for he has said i will never leave you nor forsake you personal belonging to or affecting a particular person we belong to the father not as possessions per se but as family members and as his people psalm 100 3 know that the lord is god it is he who made us and we are his ephesians 1 5 in love he predestined us for adoption to himself as heirs through jesus christ ephesians 1 11 in him we have obtained an inheritance having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things matthew 18 14 in the same way your father in heaven does not want to lose any of these little ones 1 john 4 19 we love him because he first loved us john 4 15 if you love me you will keep my commandments jesus personal concerning one s private life or relationships rather than public life we also have a less personal but no less important public life with him there is a private and confidential aspect he desires an intimate close interaction association and affiliation that need not be confided to anyone else you know what god has saved you from the life he took you out of the things you have been forgiven the things he has intentionally forgotten and removed as far as the east is from the west you may choose to tell others about those things but it s not at all mandatory there are things that can remain between you and god not that they are secrets as such but things you confess to him when repentance occurs personal done face to face in person with no others involved this is similar to the above ideas i m not an expert on personal relationships but i ve observed that the good and meaningful ones have some things in common like effective communication trust showing appreciation expressing gratitude showing empathy and compassion forgiving and most of all employing love which binds all those things together 1 thessalonians 5 16 rejoice always pray continually be in constant communication give thanks in all circumstances for this is god s will for you in christ jesus ephesians 6 18 and pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests john 4 4 little children you are from god and have overcome them for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world james 4 12 there is only one lawgiver and judge the one who is able to save and destroy 2 corinthians 5 10 for we must all appear before the judgment seat of christ so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body whether good or bad matthew 25 23 his master replied well done good and faithful servant you have been faithful with a few things i will put you in charge of many things come and share your master s happiness god is indeed our personal god in his personal presence with us in that we personally belong to him in our personal private life with him in our face to face personal interactions with him and in other profound ways i haven t thought of at the moment personally i hope you think about it and find some other ways for yourself my personal best regards dear reader may you enjoy an increasingly wonderful personal relationship with our mighty personal god all scriptural italicizations and emphases are mine rate this share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook more

morning and every morning i feel new i awake from a different world one of dreams or simply of unconscious nothingness taking up consciousness is a transition to something i consider better i feel new and renewed and thankful to be so i m among many people i know who at one time during their lives were made new we were reborn into new life as believers in jesus christ transformed given new purpose and new hope treated to the joy of knowing the lord knowing he is always present and i am no longer alone ever knowing he will never leave nor forget about me knowing his immense love for me will always be the writer of ecclesiastes said there is nothing new under the sun and all in the world is meaningless it s true without god everything is indeed without meaning i know because i can compare both states of existence the before and after many people ask if jesus is real did he does he really exist it s mostly rhetorical for they doubt he did they are certain in their heads that he doesn t or if he ever did he was no more than a teacher of morality and ethics they mockingly reduce him to a historical figure or a fairy tale image not knowing what they do to themselves slandering our very lord and savior miraculous healer under the father emmanuel god on earth with us who sacrificed himself on purpose to pay for our sins and give us the chance to be right with god the one resurrected to life and raised into heaven to intercede for us and is doing so for me even as i write this more and more people are really wanting to know does he exist is he real not mockingly but with a glimmer of hope perhaps something about christmas sparks curiosity perhaps they see something in us perhaps something about our lives prompts them to say i want what they have to their sincere questions i respond is jesus real yes he meets all the requirements of existence he is reality itself in all ways jesus is the only thing that was is and ever will be real real being truth true reality he spoke truth he cannot lie when he said i am the way the truth and the life way the means by which a thing can happen truth the one and only reality life the essence of being the epitome of existence the complete transcendence over death then he says no one comes to the father except through me i believe him what would it take for you to believe him if you don t already you can t know him until you
