Text of the page (random words):
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

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

new year 02 jan 2024 4 comments jesus says in revelation behold i m making all things new all things this 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 experience him and you can do that if you simply surrender seek him through bible reading or through talking with believers attend a church where you can learn of him through bible study and worship and especially talk to him in prayer he s waiting he s listening his greatest joy would be to hear from you what a joyful thing it is when belief and faith take root and you begin to experience his presence in your life i m praying for your happy new year but most of all i m praying right this moment for your happy new life 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 christmas eve 2020 the hunger 24 dec 2023 2 comments like when i wrote this three years ago another christmas eve has arrived in which we can partake so rejoice in it partake of it rejoice in and partake of our savior jesus christ the last few hours of the advent of christ are before us we can wait no longer and we don t need to our hunger for hope peace joy and love is hard to bear we prepare the meal we will eat tonight after church we know we will be hungry for that food too but i want my hunger for jesus to be foremost we can stay awake watching long into the night or go to sleep and let him be born in peace either is fine for in the morning we will have the certainty of jesus birth the birth that shook the earth about 2021 years ago everything was in place to bring the astounding event into reality for humanity god s gracious merciful plan was about to take a new turn and reach a new level in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god and the word became human and the word was named jesus he was born in a stable wrapped in cloth and placed in a manger to sleep placed in a manger have you ever thought about that a manger is a type of feed trough for animals here on the farm we call that a feeder it occurs to me that jesus lying in that feeder among all the other deep meaning and symbolism seems to have made himself a symbol for our spiritual nourishment both a symbol and a reality all at once is it any wonder that he told peter feed my sheep is it any wonder that he called himself the bread of life or spoke over some bread saying this is my body he wants us to partake of himself to drink deeply of him in a spiritual manner the bread of life and the water of life he lying in that feeder was already telling us i am your nourishment your sustenance your very life s provision come to me and be filled happy christmas eve your gloryteller rate this share this share on facebook opens in new window facebook more email a

amazing madeleine l engle it was a time like this war tumult of war a horror in the air hungry yawned the abyss and yet there came the star and the child most wonderfully there it was a time like this

encourage the missionary churches there while traveling the words of 2 corinthians 8 9 comforted and inspired him and thus he penned this wonderful christmas hymn thanks again to keith and kristyn
