The walk up the mountain

GROWTH

Well it has been interesting the last few days, a few things came up and a few miracles appeared.  The first miracle was God telling me who my Father was and where all of my help cometh.  I also believe that my daughter also learned a great lesson.  One of the great things about my mother, was that she did not only led us to believe how important God had to be in our lives but she also spread this over to her grandchildren.  My daughter started with little  beliefs like praying for snow on school days and it would somehow happen, sometimes even when it was not in the forecast.  So as her mother you know what I told her, "hey could you ask for money the same way and let it come down like snow in our house"  She would always tell me, "listen ma, you don't waste Gods time like that"  Usually at that point I would shut up, because I realize that she has her own personal relationship with God and I thought that was more important.  I remember telling her one day that I should let you pray for stuff because I believe that God for some reason listen to you.


My daughter knows that she is a miracle maker, but somehow also understands that you don't mess with God; she understands that the relationship is fragile and very important to her that she does not want God to ever have to think of her negatively and she wants that when she take those walks to talk with him that he would listen.  The most important thing is that she understands that this relationship is between her and God, it does not have me in it or any other family member, it is personal.  There is no one doing this for her it is something she created and know that it is real and that it works.  I am amazed because I feel like someone on the outside watching something developed that has nothing to do with me..and I have been amazed at her constant miracles that happen, especially when it gets to the point that God would tell me to step up and let her go in by herself and work things out...


Just recently I was able to be part of a wonderful experience that worked out for her...This time the miracle just dropped from the sky and it was done... I needed to do something for her that was very important and for some reason I could not be the one, because I had outdo my limit.  So a friend of mine stepped in automatically and said that they would do it, no problem.... but God got in the mix and said hey Guys remember me, I got this, who is her Father is it not I... well the good lord did not only fix the problem he made it perfect and divine.  He even sent his few angels before who knew that I had this situation on my mind to pray with me..... and he came through.  Well I was all excited and like I cannot even speak to say how wonderful and awesome God he is....my daughter took it so nice and easy and was ready to move on to the next, she simply decided to make a nice dinner for her and her God.


Folks its all about the relationship... my daughter knows it now and it took me a lot of years to understand that you had to create your relationship with him.  You have to know that he is real, the cross that Jesus died upon that it is real, the suffering to become our sacrificial lamb that it is real.  We have to give God thanks for his son Jesus, he is Gods sacred heart that he gave to this world, because of his love for us. Jesus said it that greater things will you do in his name.  I know you have heard the hymn:

Must Jesus bear the cross alone,

And all the world go free?

No, there’s a cross for everyone,

And there’s a cross for me.

It all comes back to staying under that umbrella....staying close to God, so how do we do that... first we knock on the door, open and let God in, let him know that you want to be a child of his and you want to be under his covenant.  You want to also ask him what it is that you want out of me, what can I do for you so that I may grow in grace. He is going to give you your cross and probably ask you, can you bear it...  Some of us are not ready as yet for it, we need to go and prepare ourselves for this elevation in status.  When you are ready and prepared for this and you say yes to God.. he will then show you your special place that he has set aside just for you and him to commune, to talk, to encourage, to support and fill you with love through out your journey.  Many of us are afraid of the cross.  There are many out there who knows who God is and are afraid...  What we are fearful of, giving up the world.  We have not the knowledge or the understanding to act on wisdom.

The hymn, “Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?” originally read “Shall Simon bear the cross alone, and other saints be free.” Thomas Shepherd, the author, used his hymn after preaching about Simon Peter, who was believed to have been crucified upside down. Later, the hymn was altered to refer to Jesus. The hymn was written in 1693 and a year later, Shepherd made his own decision to take up the cross and follow Jesus. He left the Church of England, where he was pastor in a beautiful church building and became an independent preacher in Nottingham barn. He felt he could proclaim the true gospel of Christ.
