My heart His Heart

 Lord I run to You with problems big and small.

Lord I trust in You to help me with them all.

How blessed I am that I can come to You.

Oh how I long for others to know You too.

It causes my heart to weep when I see,

people struggling on their own with out thee.

It causes me to weep to see them suffer so.

It causes me to weep to know where if they do not turn to You they will go.

I thank You for my new life.

I am glad I can come to You with my troubles and strife.

I thankful for You who forgives me.

I thank You for this heart that longs to see others find thee.

It Wasn't Me

I am hooked on the phrase "it wasn't me."  Moms hear that one a lot. I say it a lot sometimes as a Christian pointing to God doing something through me, and sometimes I say it in humor when laughing at myself. One time when I was telling a person my testimony of  how I got saved and kicked drugs and alcohol; I ended by pointing out it wasn't me but God. They said "no you just changed your mind and your life changed". I told them how I had tried many times before to do that and failed and pointed out I could only do it after I gave my life to Jesus. Still they insisted it was just a matter of me changing my mind. It's so hard to show the invisible, the unexplainable, in the end I can only say I know that I know God did it. He even cares about the small stuff. But how can I convince someone of this? Like yesterday I had a problem of where and how to store stuff in the kitchen more effectively. This is nothing earth shattering. I had been working on this problem for a long time, and it was really frustrating me. Finally I turned to God with this problem. Suddenly tons of solutions came to my mind! Things I know I wouldn't have thought of in a million years! So while I was on a roll I took some other little nagging problems to Him and wham! There was the answers! I know it wasn't me! Well if people I tell this to still think it is me I feel sorry for them, because they are not only missing out on salvation, but on a the greatest relationship they could ever encounter, and the miss out on where to turn when they need help or an answer. I pray I will always remember to turn to God with everything no matter how big or how small it is. I pray I will turn to Him in good times and bad with a heart of thanksgiving or a cry for help. Thank You Lord I'm not missing out.

Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7, For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18, If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1:5
