Even If

Lyrics: Even If By Kutless,
Sometimes all we have to hold on to
Is what we know is true of who You are
So when the heartache hits like a hurricane
That could never change who You are
And we trust in who You are
Even if the healing doesn’t come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come
Lord we know Your ways are not our ways
So we set our faith in who You are
Even though You reign high above us
You tenderly love us
We know Your heart
And we rest in who You are
You’re still the Great and Mighty One
We trust You always
You’re working all things for our good
We’ll sing your praise
You are God and we will bless You
As the Good and Faithful One
You are God and we will bless You
Even if the healing doesn’t come
Even if the healing doesn’t come

We all go through the difficult times of life, we always hear about the mountain tops, which are the nice, calm, peaceful, times of life, and then we hear about the valley’s.  The sicknesses, accident’s, operations, that we face.  We go to the doctor, and we get the bad report telling us that our body isn’t doing to well, and that you only have a certain amount of time to live.  We know that God can heal us, and we pray for that miracle of what God is going to do in our lives.  Though have you ever thought about the even if possibility, that what would you do even if God doesn’t heal you, what would you do even if.  If you see yourself getting sicker, getting worse, continuing to get the bad reports from the doctor’s, would you continue to worship and praise God.  Or do we forget that regardless of what Happens in our live’s that God is the good and faithful one.  Remember that whatever you are going through, and what you are facing, and dealing with, that we are to continue to worship and praise God, regardless of what it is that we face.

That Special Someone.

 Well it's that time of the year again, when people who are in love or are married go out to celebrate Valentines Day.  I am not going to talk about why certain people only show love to each other one day out of the year, just because thats the theme of the day.  Though what I am going to talk about is  how the singles today need to know and believe that their is someone out their waiting for them.  That they need to be patient, and wait for that special guy or girl that God has for them.  Now I am not saying that we are to sit on our hands and wait for that person to walk into our lives.  We are to look for that special someone, the best possible place to look for that man or woman of God is in the church.  Whether it be during the regular service, a young adult group, or even a singles group.  We also need to know the type of person that we are looking for and the type of person that God would want us to have, and not just rush into any relationship that opens up for us, or love anyone that will love us.  When we are looking for that special someone, we need to know the biblical definition of Love from the Bible, which is from 1 Corinthians 3:4-7, which says Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  This is what God says that Love is, and this is what we are to look for when we are looking for that special someone.  Their are to many times in our lives, when we look at the outside appearance and not look at what is inside of the person that we are interested in.  We all do that including myself, and I believe that we are to look at the person's heart to see the true inside of the person, and who the person is.  That's what God told Samuel, when they were looking for King, and they decided to choose David as King, 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV, But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart."  It may not have been a relationship situation, but I believe that we need to look for that special someone by doing what God did, and does, by looking at the heart, and than look for what they look like on the outside.

What God Gives You To Do

When God tells you to do something, it always seems bigger than what you think you can handle.  Thats because it probably is, since God isn't going to give us something that we can handle or do on our own.  If God gave us something to do on our own strength, might, power, and ability, we wouldn't need God.  I am an evangelist in which I contact churches asking if I can come give my testimony, of what God has done in my life, I wouldn't have thought that this is what I would be doing.  Though I know that it's what God has for me to be doing, since I would not be able to do it on my own, without God's strength and help.  I have told many people this that if it wasn't for God's call on this ministry, and on my life and for his help, I would have given up a long time ago, and just said forget it.  This month is my five year anniversary of God giving me the open doors of starting this ministry.  So when you are wondering if what you are doing, is from God, when you can't do it on your own strength, ability, and you need God's strength, power, ability and guidance, it's from God.
