Craving Jesus

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
We live in a world that needs Jesus, needs His salvation, needs to know him personally as their daddy, closest friend.  Many don't even know how hungry they are for him, they don't realize what they are missing.  Yet there are many that will claim to see "HIM" in their normal day activities.  They see an image that they think is Jesus, on their cheeto, grilled cheese sandwich, pancake, on wood, windows, and on random everyday objects.  Today I saw this on the web... http://www.buzzfeed.com/melismashable/every-jesus-sighting-ever  

There were several objects some you had to stretch to see and image others you could see a clear "Jesus" image.  It just kept me thinking about how hungry this world is to actually know HIM.

While I was looking at these it just kept reminding me that many people are searching for a tiny image of Jesus on some random thing but we need people to hunger and thirst for WHO HE really is.  He is King of Kings, Alpha Omega, Jehovah, Provider, Healer, Friend, and so so much more the list is really endless!  He is the Light, he is the way to Heaven... I could keep going and going here!  What do you need... that is what he is!!!  

It's not about seeing a tiny image of Jesus its about really experiencing HIM!  If you have never felt JESUS take a moment to pray.  Trust me it does not have to be anything special just talk to him as if talking to a friend.  Have a moment of surrendering everything to him!

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” - James 4:10

Have a blessed day and really see all the blessings that Jesus is doing in and around you.  HE IS NEAR YOU  and it does not have to be on a piece of toast.

Feel free to add any other thoughts or versus to encourage.  Would love to hear your thoughts!  Did you see the images of Jesus?

Even though I don't ascribe to the trinity, I do think people need to see Jesus. After all he is reigning as King! People are looking everywhere except where they need to look - the Bible. No wonder why Jesus commanded his disciples to go and preach. How will people hear without someone to preach! (Romans 10:14, 15) :)

I most certainly do believe in the trinity (“Let us make man in our image” – Genesis 1:26, “God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of us…’” – Genesis 3:22 etc, etc) and I think you make a good point about seeing the Lord in the common everyday things. I personally do not believe in worshiping to an image. I do know he is with me at all times. Thank goodness for that because I need his guidance, love and mercy.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared  teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
