"John 4:42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world (kosmos).
When mankind Beholds Jesus in Non-religious CLARITY - as in a mirror, When they see Him as He truly is and NOT as he has been wrongly re-presented by the current Orthodox church...., When they hear for themselves the Clear WORD (Jesus) of the Father... His express opinion of His beloved Creation - mankind....When they encounter Him ("It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me" Gal 2:20), they will realise that He is indeed the Saviour of the world!! Faith/Trust will come when they hear the message of/FROM Christ.
Jesus IS Gods spoken Word - His Clear OPINION - made flesh, revealed plainly for the world to see, know and believe the the Father deeply loves each one. He invites you to eat and drink this revelation of His Love for you and live intoxicated on this love (Songs 5:1).
He delights to lead us into all truth!!! Allow him to re-shape your opinion of Him. It is impossible to over emphasis the fact that YOU are His hearts desire, you are His will!!
One may ask, "What is the will/desire of God?"..... YOU ARE!!!!!
You are perfect in His opinion (Heb 10 - For by his one sanctifying sacrifice he has perpetually perfected you!!)
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!"
(Cornerstone Keg)
The Grace of God is revealed in Jesus Christ! A revelation that, in itself, is the power of God to salvation for all who believe. A message that demands righteousness from you has no power at all, and leads to death. The message that leads to abundant and eternal life, is one that emphasises the FREE GIFT of GOD's RIGHTEOUSNESS - and being established in it...BY FAITH!

He is on YOUR boat!
Have you ever ACTUALLY wondered how the "story" would have gone, if the disciples chose to remain at REST in the boat during the storm?
Exactly how far would the chaos have gone? Yet Jesus was adamant they should have simply trusted and "chilled".
I mean, how can simply trusting that Jesus is with you actually get you through a practical, literal, physical problem or period in life? Hahaha, SHABBA!!
I'll tell you!
As un-nerving as circumstances may be... as lengthy and as ruthless a "rough patch" might seem (sometimes you may even start seeing cracks forming, and water rushing onto your boat after you've said and done all things "holy") hahaha, there is still space to rest.
I encourage you, emmerse yourself into the pure Glory of HIS FAITHFULNESS.
Life isn't always fun, but it is possible to TRULY REJOICE during ANY circumstance (and that's no contradiction).
The secret lies in the nature of your trust:
If you are hoping and trusting for Christ to "break in at any moment now", your waiting will be filled with anxiouty, frustration and energy-sapping anticipation, until something good happens. And then the cycle starts over again.
But, if your trust in Christ is in the fact that He has ALREADY "broken in", and is currently "SLEEPING ON YOUR BOAT" right now (WITH YOU), you'll begin to see an increase in your ferver for living, and begin to "rejoice in all things"...even during those "cruddy" times in life!
Hahaha!!
Have a JOYFUL day :-)

Love
An excerpt from writings of "Isaac the Syrian" (died AD 700'ish):
"...Love inebriates the souls of the sons and daughters of heaven by its delectability.
When we find love, we partake of heavenly bread and are made strong without labor and toil. The heavenly bread is Christ, who came down from heaven and gave life to the world...The person who has found love eats and drinks Christ every day and every hour.
...Love is the wine “which maketh glad the heart.” Blessed is the one who partakes of this wine!
...Licentious people have drunk this wine and become chaste;
sinners have drunk it and have forgotten the pathways of stumbling;
drunkards have drunk this wine and become fasters;
the rich have drunk it and desired poverty;
the poor have drunk it and been enriched with hope;
the sick have drunk it and become strong;
the unlearned have taken it and become wise..."
Many who thirst for a greater revelation of God's love have been labelled "selfish" or "passive christians".
I label them as WISE!
Have a glorious day guys :-)
