Hope all is well with you as you read this message. If not, there is a great and mighty God and Father that knows all that we are going through and He Loves us more than I can put in words. I have been reading a book by Joy Dawson: Forever Ruined for the Ordinary. I would like to share a few things from it. In Chapter 2 Conditions for hearing God’s voice she writes about faith is one of the conditions of hearing His Voice. “By far the most important basis for our faith is the character of God.” Here are just a few characteristics of the One we believe in:

“As a God of the knowledge of all that is knowable, He has the answers;

As a God of limitless power; He has the ability to communicate in every language.

As a God of infinite wisdom, He knows how and when to communicate.

As a God of total justice, He will only tell us to do what is right and just;

As a God of absolute righteousness, He will never tell us to do anything unholy of inconsistent with His character or the principles in His Word, the Bible

As a God of unfathomable love, He longs to communicate with us.”

Just take a few minutes and think about Him and apply His character to your situation. If it is sickness He is the Healer, if loneliness He is the Comforter, If lack He is the Provider. May we know Him, and be changed so we can change the world around us.

I wrote last week about my uncle and how much we are loved by God. I hope you read Genesis 1:26-27 where it speaks about us being created in His image. It seems hard to believe that we are created with His image in us. But not only do we have His image but we were also created for Him.

No, God was not lonely, bored or had nothing to do.  He created you because He wanted you. You are not an accident!  It doesn’t matter how you were conceived, you were on His mind. (Psalm 139)

In Myles Munroe’s book, Understanding Your Potential, he writes, “God has a good attitude toward you. He created you in His image and drew you out of Himself. Before you were born, you were in God. Part of His potential has been placed within you. God designed and predetermined you to be a success story, and you are here because God wanted you to be born.” Now some of you might not feel like a success story but you are to our Father in heaven. If there is anything in your life that is not right turn from it which is repentance. God has great plans for you, just wait and see. He can do far more than we can ask or think in our lives (Ephesians 3:20). You are wanted and you are loved. May His blessings overtake you today!

I came across some mission info as I was reading from Travel the Road news letter that I was kind of shocked by. Let me know what you think. “There are 250,000 active “Christian” missionaries from every denomination currently serving in some capacity. This means that less than .001% of all Christians are missionaries. Think about that for a moment…That is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent. The giving to these missionaries is just as low of a percentage from the church budgets.”
