Being the hands, feet and the voice of Jesus - that's what we're called to be....

God bless you - You are amazing in His sight, never forget that!!! He created you in His image, and we all have a Purpose!!!

Here we go again, my friends, I woke up a while ago.....and can't fall back to sleep - I have to tell you something really important......

All the hurts of this world are a consequence of sin......committed by ourselves or others......we don't need to understand why God allows this or that to happen to us, all we need to know is, that we can trust Him, to work it out for the good of us, if we only trust Him with all our Hearts......

When I look back on my life's experience, that is 100% true - people might have hurt me along the way, intentionally or randomly - because they meant to be evil (yet all the evil in this world committed by people, is ultimately caused by another hurt committed to the evil doer - sometimes they don't even see, what they do.....they are just so hurt and can see life only through the eyes of severe pain, bitterness and their hearts have become hard as stone) or because they didn't know how to do, what they really meant to do.....because they have never received Grace - Forgiveness of the sins and therefore couldn't give it. They may have been abandoned, rejected, left alone, to wade through life's injustices on their own, thus not being able to be kind and considerate or even loving - they were never shown how to by their fellowmen (parents, family, teachers, peers - the list is long)

But in John 14:12 we are called to do the same works as Jesus did and even greater works than He - anything that we ask in His name, He will do it. So today I ask the lover of my soul, to show to the world, that truly all their sin is forgiven - has been forgiven since the day Jesus died on the cross. We can let go of the past and live today - free indeed. I know it's the truth and I want you to embrace this Truth in your lives as well.

I believe that whatever hurt or rejection has been dealt to me in my life, was because the person didn't know what he or she was doing - thus I lift up the ancient prayer, that Jesus prayed, when He was dying on the Cross: Father forgive them, for they do not know what they do - it's the universal prayer - we have to be the voice of this prayer.......

Those of you that have followed my blog and my previous blog (http://youschka650220.blogspot.com) faithfully, know, that I have forgiven my earthly father for His keeping his horses despite my allergies and asthma......and I have truly forgiven all the wrongs that life had sent my way, for I know, God had a plan then, just like He has a plan today - for all of us: A plan to prosper us and not to harm us - to give us a Hope and a Future. When we let go of the hurts, the anger and the resentment they have caused, and let God justify us, we can know that He will do what needs to be done, but He will do it gently - as He knows the Hearts of His children, all His children - He'll convict each and everyone, and lead us all to repentance and ultimately to Forgiveness and Grace - through the Power of the Spirit alone, not by Might nor by Power.

I believe, that in this broken world we are all living out the consequences, that the human race has brought upon us - yet knowing that ultimately we are all capable of doing any crime known to men in our carnal and sinful nature - we cannot judge, we have to let God be the judge and the justifier and He will do the task - it's never our obligation, to let those around us know, what they did wrong, by treating them with contempt or withdrawal of love and care - we are called to edify, encourage and point to the potential within (Christ within)......that's what God wants us to do, He wants us to follow the example of Christ and wash the feet of our personal Judas - the funny yet amazing part of this gesture is: we receive the salvation that is in Christ - thus we're set FREE to FLY. Amen

Isn't God an amazing God - he planned this from the beginning......so even the men or women out there, who are cruel, neglect their loved ones, rape and kill people.....tthe Holy Spirit will convict them of their sin - we have to extend Grace and wash their feet - ours have been washed, too (you might want to read Max Lucado;s new book: GRACE). The crime we have committed may not seem as drastic as theirs, but as we all know: to God Sin is Sin - there is no small Sin or big Sin - Yet Jesus died for all of them: Past Present and Future. 

Our consciousness has been stretched and our awareness has been heightened through the paths of our lives......and yes, the loss of a loved one due to sickness, crime, accidents or rejection does hurt - our hearts cry out in pain.....yet there is one, who hears the cries of our hearts, and He is always with us, to comfort us - and sometimes He asks us, to be the Hug, the Love He wants to give to the Person in need - let this world not fool you......it's never about the person, it's always about Christ in us, ministering to a broken Heart......a broken Heart, that might exude harshness, hatred, anger, rage, because he or she doesn't know how to exude anything else, because life through his or her eyes has never shown anything else to them. Let's take off the lens of Evil, and put on the lens of Grace, and make a difference in the live of one person in your sphere of influence at a time, thus changing the world into a better place. 

Through the Power of the Holy Spirit we can do it - I am pledging my life to that......and I remember many years ago, when my sister was pregnant with her first baby and my friend had just lost her sister in a car accident, when I tried to comfort her, and she asked me, if I still believed in God and the Goodness of Him, if I lost my sister, too - at the time, I felt as if I was tempting fate, by saying Yes, so I didn't.....when my sister was in labour, which was long and hard, and in the end it had to be a C-Section Birth - I remember, I was afraid to find out, that something might have happened to her during the night, that she might have died - and that I had caused this, by questioning God - thankfully all was well and God didn't take her home.......then when I read the book by Mary Beth Chapman......crying my heart out over the pain they had to go through, loosing their daughter, asking myself, how I would handle such a situation - somehow feeling, I couldn't say, that I knew, God would see me through, when I told my mother about the book..... - then through the study of Esther by Beth Moore (in the Fall of 2011), today I can say it loud and clear, that even if my deepest fear was to come true, and I lost one of my children......I know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that yes, I would hurt and cry and not understand why, the wound would be deep, but I would trust Him, to bind the wound and to hang on to the promise, that I would see my child again in Heaven - I would maybe resent it for a while, maybe even a long while, but I also know that God would see me through, and that He would work things out for the Good of those who love Him - and Loving Him, I do - not only do I love Him, but I trust Him with all my Heart and lean not on my own understanding - for He knows the plans, He has for me, Plans to prosper me, not to harm me, Plans to give me a Hope and a Future.

I love you, my friends, and I pray that none of us, would have to face a loss of a child, but I trust, that God would comfort us, if we did..... and those of you, who lost a child or a loved one, I pray that He would comfort you and give you the Peace of knowing that your child or loved one is with Jesus in Heaven today, where there is no more pain, no more tears.....and that you will see each other in Heaven one day - but that it is okay, to live life and not feel guilty and let life pass you by. 

Our loved ones in Heaven are cheering us on, to live out the life that we've been given, to live out the purpose that God has given to us - maybe by comforting those who go through a similar pain - even if the song of our Hearts is: I am living out the life that I am given, but Baby I still wish you were here with me. His Grace is sufficient for us. My prayer tonight or should I say this morning is, that He would bring you the rest and the Peace, He promises in the bible. Let's rest in this promise for now.

I love you, and if I could, I would hug you tight - I am sure Jesus provides a hug for you where you are.....

Be blessed - in Jesus' Name - Amen
