Wonderful, wonderful

Jesus is to me,

Counselor, Prince of Peace,
     Mighty God is he.

Saving me, keeping me
             From all sin and shame;
     Wonderful is my Redeemer
Praise His Name!

 

       This song is eternally etched in my heart and mind.  I went to church one Sunday night (a long time ago), and this song was sung over and over and over again.  Ladies were dancing in the aisles, men raised their hands and waved back and forth, and even a few danced forward and danced in front of the church.  It was an experience that will never be forgotten.  JESUS is wonderful to me.  I pray every day that Jesus would be held up in me so He can draw all men and women to himself.

 

       Other religions and people may have some truth.  Still, only Jesus Christ is the Truth for everyone who has ever been born into the human race, regardless of culture, age, nationality, generation, heritage, gender, color, or language.  Jesus said that He Himself is the only Way to get to Heaven!  We must come to God through Him, or we don’t come at all.

     

      During the Vietnam War, a story was reported about a paratrooper who had been air-dropped into the jungle and could not find his Way out.  A native guide had to be sent into the jungle to find the lost man and then lead him to safety at his base.  The Guide became the man’s Way of safety – his “way home.”  In the same manner, Jesus is “God’s Guide,” Heaven dropped into the world to lead the sinners safely “Home.”

 

      It stands to reason that if you refuse to acknowledge that you are “lost,” then you will not accept God’s Way home.  But for those of us who know we have been lost, our overwhelming gratitude for the Guide is enough to compel us to tell others about Him – about the Truth of their lost condition and the Truth about the Way out.  “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”  Acts 4:12.

 

      Jesus is wonderful to me.  I should say, “Wonderful, good!”  I went to the doctor for my yearly check-up, and he saw a funny-looking spot on my forehead.  It looked like a little grape that wasn’t ripe.  So he sent me to a specialist, and they did a biopsy, and it came out to be bad cancer.  And operated on it immediately, getting it all.  Still, the doctor wants me to do radiation therapy as a precautionary measure.

 

      When Marion was still alive, we had this thing we called B.B.B.,  That’s Bible Before Breakfast.  We would read our Bible, pray, and journal.  Marion passed away on 10/12/14 and went home to be with the Lord.  Since then, I have been alone, but I kept on my B.B.B.  So, this is right out of my journal.”  I prayed this morning and asked God if I had a future, and I was very despondent.  I just had cancer removed a week ago and am recovering nicely, but feeling down.  Thank you, Jesus, for this answer to my prayer: ‘I AM A MIGHTY GOD.  Nothing is too difficult for me.  I have chosen you to use weak ones like you to accomplish My purposes.  Your weakness is designed to open you up to My Power.  Therefore, do not fear your limitations or measure your day’s demands against your strength.  But I require you to stay connected to Me, living in trusting dependence on My limitless resources.  When you face unexpected demands, there is no need to panic.  Remember that I AM with you.  Talk with Me, and listen while I talk you through each challenging situation.                                                                                                                                      

 

       I am not a careless God.  When I have our difficulties to come into your life, I equip you fully to handle them.  Relaxing My Presence, trusting in My Strength.’ “2.

     

      At the most difficult times of my life – The loss of Marion, the loss of my son, the rejection of my writing, the diagnosis and treatment of cancer – God’s Word has sustained me.  There have been times when I have only been capable of reading a few verses at times.  Yet, the supernatural life-giving power of the Word of God has not only helped me maintain my emotional and mental balance but has given me the strength to go on, even if only one day at a time.

“There is strength . . .

      There is peace . . .

            There is hope . . .

                  There is power . . .

                       There is life . . .  In God’s Word!”   3.

 

      God is good to me!  His goodness makes me cry, “God is good all the time; all the time, God is good!”  Amen?

You may be asking, “Why an old newsletter, Bob?” (JUNE 2021)  Well, this was the year that changed my life for the better and set me on a journey.  Please believe me when I say it was not an easy journey to get to where I am here in the Titusville Towers.  The best way I can describe my journey here is to say, Help!” “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”  My church family came and picked me up and carried me all the way through.  But on this journey, I became addicted to my computer, Facebook, and email.  Jesus died on the cross for that sin, and I was forgiven and given new life in Jesus once again.  So, my church had a birthday party for my 90th birthday, and many gifts were given.  But the greatest gift was telling me,” We love you, Bob, Worts and Wrinkles and all!!

                                                                                Jesus loves you and so do I

Peace or Panic

  Peace or Panic? by David Marvin One of the biggest challenges about the anxious thoughts we have is that there is some truth in them. That’s why they can be so powerful. If there was absolutely no truth to our thoughts, we wouldn’t be tempted to dwell on them. But half-truths are only half true, so they must be replaced with full truths. Stay with me if that sounds confusing. Some half-truths could be: I will never be good enough I don’t have friends who care about me. I will never get married. I am not pretty enough. I will never be able to conquer my depression. My brother will always be an addict. My mom is going to die from cancer. I may die in a car accident. My boyfriend is going to break up with me. I will never get promoted. I will never get out of debt. What makes thoughts like these hard to ignore is the little bit of truth in them. They are partly true but not the whole truth. Maybe you think, I may never get married. There is some truth t...

A Possible reason for coronavirus

God is good all the time; all the time, God is good. You probably heard this story before, but I like to use it to bring our point across as to a possible reason for coronavirus pandemic. A farmer bought a mule, brought it home, and put it in the harness of a plow.   “Getty up, go! “Said the farmer. The mule didn’t move. He clicked his tongue and snapped the reigns, but the mule didn’t move. Try as he may mule would not go! The farmer called the man who sold him the mule and told him I can’t get this thing to move. The man came, had a 2 x 4in his hand, and hit that mule in the head with it.   The mule came alive and did all the commands he was told to do. “Why did you hit him on the head with the 2 x 4?” “You have to get his attention, first, then he will do anything you want.” The 2 x 4 was painful, but it got his attention, and he obeyed. And this from the book of Job - changed for today :  One day when the angels came to report t...
