🕊️ Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. 

And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 

Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” 🕊️

Acts 17:22-31

“An appointed day?” 

Good morning Father!

Thank You for this day!

Thank You for my life!

Thank You for my sweet bride!

Thank You for my beautiful daughter!

Many have researched exhaustively, for this day, and still not accurately predicted its coming.

From the moment I took my first breath, until the “appointed day” I will take my last, I cannot say with certainty, I knew or have known where my path or my journey will end. But then, what I can say, is that which is in my nature today, is to live and breathe and share, the goodness I have within me. 

I can for certain, tell you, I was born a creature of selfishness and self-seeking, however I best frame it or define my life’s intent, it has always been from my limited understanding and only from the experiences of life and the world around me. The physical plane, the ground where my feet have trod, the things I have touched, or the visual experiences, all these have established what my mind accepts as what is reality and what life is about. It could never have taken me to the place where I am today, nor prepared me for the life I now live.

I had not thought to keep record of the exact day or time was, but it took my going through a re-birth, causing an awakening of my mind and the spirit within me to see and feel His presence. The day I asked Jesus to be my savior, to rescue me from myself and help me to see. He helped me plant my feet on solid ground. This was the day God took a bereft man of the spiritual world, He give me purpose and the important principles which truly changed me. He gave me “Hope” and “Faith”, these two fundamental needs I didn’t even know I was missing. He revealed Himself to me! I had to learn to walk all over again, to begin as if my eyes were opened for the first time and my first breath in life for a second time, has never looked so different since. I made a choice, a choice to “believe”.

🕊️ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. 🕊️     

Hebrews 11:6

Thank You Father, for the revelation of true life, life as You would have me see it, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
