Our place!


Genesis chapter 11 verse 7.
"Come, let us go down and give them different languages, so that they won't understand each other's words!"

That is the world as we know it today. Filled with all sorts of different races and each speaking a different language. I speak English so, I live in an area where others speak the same language. It just makes for a better life. Everyone understands each other and the goals are achieved easily with less mistakes.
   It wasn't long ago that the races did not interact with each other very much. Travel was not that easy and usually very expensive. People were aware of the different cultures around the world but there was not much interaction between each other. It usually came in the form of war. It is the need to survive or the want of greed that causes people to fight and argue.
   Peace is very hard to achieve. Being content with what you have helps, but is hard to maintain. The world is no longer small, every inch of it has been claimed by someone and communicating with each other is as easy as using the built in translator to understand what is being said. Television and computers have made it easy to hear and see what is happening everywhere around the world. Not much is hidden from each other for very long.
   For those who have, they are considered rich. You can either help those who are in need or you can hoard what you have and watch over your shoulder protecting, and living in fear of thieves. Even with a kind heart and everything you need to survive---emotions get in the way. Relationships, death, sickness and worry of job can cause upset in a persons life.
   Jesus is the answer. He has left people with the Holy Spirit and the joy of having a life in God's presence. Overcome sadness, and disappointment by asking God for help. He will show you Jesus and a different life where you don't struggle alone, but are filled with awe and joy.
   The innocence of a child is the purity of not being hurt or filled with confusion. That is what happens when you let go of trying so hard to find the right answers on your own. Walk with Jesus and come to see the peace and love of God. There is no other place you will want to be.
   When you start your journey with Jesus walking beside you, you are living in heaven now with Him and no longer waiting and wondering what the future holds. Your place in life has been set as belonging to His family, where there is no doubt in your mind that God is with you always.
   The up's and downs of making the right decisions become easier to make because you are trusting in God to guide you. When feeling overwhelmed you step back and talk to God. When temptation entices you, you call out to Jesus to keep you focused on the right paths to walk. When wrong words are spoken, your thoughts are quick to ask the Holy Spirit for help and forgiveness. You trust in God and are thankful for His love. Your joy is exploding with gratitude.
   Thank you Father for Jesus and our place with You. No longer lost but home with You! 😊 

Revelation chapter 7 verses 9 and 10.
After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from all nations and provinces and languages, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white, with palm branches in their hands. And the were shouting with a mighty shout, "Salvation comes from our God upon the throne, and from the Lamb."

Acts chapter 2 verse 4.
"And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in languages they did not know, for the Holy Spirit gave them this ability."

2 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 15.
"Thank God for His Son---His gift too wonderful for words."

Revelation chapter 7 verses 14-17.
"These are the ones coming out of the Great Tribulation," he said; "they washed their robes and whitened them by the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are here before the throne of God, serving Him day and night in His temple. The one sitting on the throne will shelter them; they will never be hungry again, nor thirsty, and they will be fully protected from the scorching noontime heat. For the Lamb standing in front of the throne will feed them and be their Shepherd and lead them to the springs of the Water of Life. And God will wipe their tears away."
