Last Week We Had A Rather Large Snow Storm Predicted For The Midwest Region Of The Country. For Me I Sincerely Hope It Was Mother Natures Last Howrah And Springtime Would Be Around The Corner.
I Knew This Storm Was Suppose To Come In Two Phases. Saturday Night We May Get An Inch Or Two When We Woke Up Sunday Morning. Phase 2 Would Come Mid Day With Much Heavier Snow And Accumulation.
Shortly After Noon My Wife Asked Me Where This Big Giant Snowfall Was. I Told her It Was Coming And We better Be Prepared Because It Was Going To Be A Big One. She Gave Me One Of Those Looks And Said Yes I Know, They Say We Are Going To Get Something Bad But It Always Misses Us. I Assured her It Was Coming. According To My Computer Radar It Was Big And It Was Moving Rather Slowly. When It Moves Slowly It Usually Means It Will Dump Lots Of Snow Before It Moves Out Of The Area. The Radar Shows It Rotating In A Circular Motion And Moving Very Slowly. It Began To Lightly Snow. From The Other Room I Hear Is This The Big Snowfall You Are Making A Big Deal Out Of? I Said Yes, It's Only The Beginning.
As The Snow Began To Get Heavier And Heavier You Could See The Inches Of Accumulation Begin To Rise.
My Reason For Telling You This Story Is Because It's True. I Love My Wife And I Don't Think She Would Mind Me Using This As A Reason To Make My Point. Just Because You Don't See The Snow Coming Doesn't Mean It's Not Coming. If You Want To Literally Stand Out In Your Yard And Become A Human Snowman To Be A Believer Be My Guest.
This Coming Sunday Is Easter. In Order For You To Believe In Easter You Must Believe In The Son Of God. His Name Is Jesus. For God Gave His Only Begotten Son, That Who Ever Believeth In Him Shall Not Parish But Have Eternal Life. Just Because You Have Never Seen God Doesn't Mean He Doesn't Exist. I Believe In The Son. I Believe He Died For Our Sins.
Personally There Was A Moment In My Life Where I Met The Lord. I Have Not Spoken About It Because I Was Told Not To. I Don't Know Why But I Was Told God Has A Plan For Me.
I Was As Near Death As One Can Be. There Are Certain Things I Can Remember Yet Other Things Feel Foggy And Unsure. What I Know For A Fact Is God Is Real And I Believe. I Have Faith That God Will Give Me Eternal Life With Him. I Do Remember Begging Him To Take Me Then Because Life Was Not Worth Living For Me At The Time. He Had A Bigger Plan For Me.
Maybe I Am Doing It Now With The Work I Do For The Poor. Maybe He Wanted Me To Meet New People And Be An Inspiration To Them Or Them To Inspire Me In Some Way. I'm Not Sure What He Plans For Me. Since Then I Have Married And Had Two Children. I Have Met A Host Of People Since That Time In My Life. Maybe His Bigger Plan Has Nothing To Do With Me. Maybe I Will Be Just A Pawn. What I Mean By That Is Maybe I Will Be A Part Of Someone's Life To Make A Difference For Them. I'm Not So Selfish To Think The Reason Is Just For Me. If I Am Part Of The Big Picture In The Lords Plan, So Be It.
I Have Faith In God. I Don't Have To Die To Know He Exist. I'm Also Not Telling You This Because I Have Seen Him. I Was Raised In A Christian Home. My Father's Father Was A Minister Of God. I Was Baptized Not Once But Twice In My Lifetime. On A Side Remark I Must Say I Was Criticized By Someone Because I Was Baptized For The Second Time. Their Belief Is Once You Are Baptized Your Sins Are Washed Away. My Relationship With My Lord Is On A Personal Level. If I Had The Opportunity To Be Baptized In The Same Water Jesus Was Baptized In I Most Certainly Would. I Don't Need To Be In A Building Of Worship To Feel Close To God. My Personal Feelings About Church Itself Is It's A Useful Tool In Keeping Fellowship With Other Christians.
I Feel Humbled To Be Serving Him And Being A Part Of His Bigger Plan. Each One That Reads This Should Feel Humbled Because They Are Part Of God's Bigger Plan. I Suppose When He No Longer Needs You In His Plan You Get His Gift Of Everlasting Life. What A Comfort To Know.
This Takes Us Back To Faith. Believe In Him And You Will Have Ever Lasting Life. You Don't Need To Step Outside When It's Raining And Get Wet To Prove That It Is. You Don't Need To Touch The Fire To Know It Will Burn You. Just Because You Don't See It Doesn't Mean It's Not There.
Have A Wonderful Easter. He Has Risen!
