kaywray added a link contribution Go into all the worldHave you ever thought, "Lord, how can I go into ALL the world?" Family and job responsibilities and sometimes just our own survival quickly diminish hopes of fulfilling God's call to "all the world." Some of us may never have the experience of going to foreign countries, although we long to fulfill this mandate given to us. Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution Breakable for harvestingThe cycle of allowing God as the Master Gardener of our hearts: When we ask Him, He will plow/break up the dry, hard, unfertilized grounds of our hearts resulting in our desire to plant seeds (deeds) of honesty, justice, integrity, goodness, kindness which will then result in a harvest of not only our love for God but those we touch. As hard as our ground may become God's touch will ALWAYS be able to penetrate... Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution Crop failure...or bountiful harvest?We plant our gardens with the expectation of producing beautiful flowers or delicious fruit and veggies. None of us plant expecting crop rot, bug infestations or “critter” invasion to destroy the hard labor and love put into our gardens. God has planted His fruit in us with the same expectations, a bountiful harvest…not plant failure. God’s Word combined with repentance is like the spreading of Miracle Grow on the fertile soil of our hearts so that “much fruit” can be yielded from the “investm… Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution What's in your jar?...part twoV. What seems like hoplessness… A number of years ago, one of the coffee cups from my china set broke. I had two choices, throw it away or use Superglue. When hopelessness and desperation come into our lives sometimes we only see, “throw it away…what’s the use anyway.” The value of something is not always seen from the outside. Sometimes in order to see the true value or strength of a jar it will be packed to the limit and possibly broken. Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution What's in your jar?...part oneII. Empty jars, not just a few but gather many then pour oil in them. (2 Kings 4:1-7) I love the fact that she was told to gather “not a few but as many as you can”. We limit ourselves so much when we can’t see the potential God sees in us. Jesus Christ has promised to cleanse our ‘jars’ from sin daily and fill them instead with the presence and power, the oil of the Holy Spirit. This can only come through daily communion with Father God. Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution But I tell youWhile life was never intended to be experienced in the law neither was the additional burden inflicted by the religious leaders. God’s truth (His Word) must be the foundation of any directives or instructions we give to others and receive from others…no deviations. If not Jesus words still hold true for us today, “I don’t care what others are saying or doing, BUT I TELL YOU!” Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution In God's SightI am so very thankful God bases His judgments and observations according to His unchanging standards, not what man says. Likewise, I need to see through God’s eyes, not according to man’s popular opinion, from which to arrive at truth. The last verse of the book of Judges (21:25) seems very fitting when we don’t follow God’s standard, “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did AS HE SAW FIT.” It is a sad day when we are ruled by what we “see as fit”. That ruling will always result in the ea… Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution The Lover of my heart!Because Paul knew the love of God, he knew Jesus Christ intimately. Since Paul knew God would never lie or never change His mind (Numbers 23:19), he then knew what He said could be trusted as Truth. This allowed him to proclaim with all assurance, “NOTHING will be able to keep the Pursuer of our hearts away from us…NOTHING.” Read more »

kaywray added a link contribution Living Off God's InterestOur value and worth is not determined by how others view us but rather KNOWING how God views and values us: ·God pursues me; He knows me; He protects me; He guides me; He holds onto me; He uniquely created me; He knows the number of hairs on my head and has established the number of days of my life (Psalm 139) Read more »
