Amazing Love

Today, this post is just short, it's simple but has a very important reminder that we should always thank God for everything He has given us. 

This song is very special because it talks about our sweet Savior and how He died for us to set us free. We are forgiven and alive and well, all because of our sweet JESUS! He is such a caring wonderful God. Let's just praise Him this day as we sing this and give God the glory for all He's done for us. The link is below the lyrics. 

I'm forgiven cause You were forsaken

I'm accepted, You were condemned

I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me

'Cause You died and rose again

I'm forgiven cause You were forsaken

I'm accepted, You were condemned

I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me

'Cause You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be?

That You, my King would die for me?

Amazing love, I know its true

It's my joy to honor You

In all I do, I honor You

I'm forgiven cause You were forsaken

I'm accepted, You were condemned

I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me

'Cause You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be?

That You, my King would die for me?

Amazing love, I know its true

It's my joy to honor You

In all I do, I honor You

Amazing love, how can it be?

That You, my King would die for me?

Amazing love, I know its true

It's my joy to honor You

In all I do, I honor You

You are my King

You are my King

You are my King

You are my King

Amazing love, how can it be?

That You, my King would die for me?

Amazing love, I know its true

It's my joy to honor You

In all I do, I honor You

Amazing love, how can it be?

That You, my King would die for me?

Amazing love, I know its true

It's my joy to honor You

In all I do, I honor You

Laying Our Treasures Up In Heaven

According to many places and many forms of teaching it the Bible, God has told us to lay our treasures up in heaven. Matthew 6:19-21 is a popular set of scriptures for this particular subject.

Matthew 6:19- "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:"

Matthew 6:20- "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not breakthrough or steal:"

Matthew 6:21: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

If we have worldly treasures and we hang on to the things down here, we will keep them, but loose our salvation. But, if we lay our treasures up in heaven the ones that matter, like our hopes and dreams and our HEARTS!!! we will dwell in our Fathers kingdom, that's not all we have to do of course, we have to obey His will, not just following the Bible but listening to His voice. These things shall all pass away anyhow so why not just give your soul to JESUS because in the end, that's the only thing going that will not perish. JESUS will take good care of it and only give it His best for your best interest. Like it says in the 21st verse, where we lay our treasures, there are our hearts as well. If we have worldly lusts and keep our treasures down here then we shall surely perish, but if we lay our treasures up in heaven we will live on forever more with our LORD and Savior. When we lay up our treasures in heaven it's a way of trusting God, saying that you trust Him to take care of them. There's nothing wrong with dreaming, just put your dreams in Heaven with God, He will take care of them I promise. I keep my hopes and dreams in Heaven and God has not failed me once, He just says I have something better in mind. So, this day, I ask you if you have not to lay your treasures up in Heaven where nothing can destroy it. God loves you so much, even when we fail Him, have faith!

I hope this blessed you, even though it's short there is a lot to those scriptures, more than you could ever put into words.

Have a blessed day,

Roses Will Bloom Again

Bill Gaither – Roses Will Bloom Again Lyrics

Verse 1

I planted a little rose bush, 

I tended it with care, 

It's buds began to blossom

Their fragrance filled the air

But when winter came it withered, 

The petals drooped and fell to the ground, 

My heart sank as it faded, 

But I'd forgotten who had made it.

CHORUS

Roses will bloom again, 

Just wait and see

Don't mourn what might have been

Only God knows how and when that

Roses will bloom again.

VERSE 2

Rose was his only sweetheart, 

A loving wife for forty years.

Cherished every day they had, 

And held memories dear

He never dreamed he'd bury love 

And go to live alone, 

But he lay his Rose to rest, 

Looked up to heaven and tried his best

To believe that

 

CHORUS

VERSE 3 

The precious Rose of Sharon, 

Broken and bruised in cruel shame, 

Stained on the cross of Calvary, 

So that men might be saved, 

Satan cheered as He died, 

While Mary and the others cried, 

Then God raised Him up from that sleep

And kept a promise only He could keep.

CHORUS

In this beautiful song, in the first verse it talks about how God revives us in the winter season of our life. God gives us hope and peace that we will bloom again even though we have withered. In the chorus God tells us again that we will bloom again we just have to be patient and watch, we can't mourn about what might have happened if we weren't withered, only God knows how and when we will bloom again but it will happen, He knows best. In verse two it talks about another situation where God shows His faithfulness. When a husband looses his only love after 40 years of marriage, he tries to keep his faith in God that He will see his Rose again, God not only restores our souls He gives us hope that if we and our loved ones served God like we should and one of us passed, as long as the other person keeps serving God then we shall meet again. In verse 3 it talks our sweet JESUS, and how He died for us and rose again. He is our hope and He is our peace and He will never leave us in that winter season alone and He will always make sure that we know we will be okay.

So in the winter of our lives just remember roses will bloom again.
