sunday thoughts.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to. ~Khalil Gibran



If I could find a way, you and i would drive that road, to another place... but this is home, and it's not always that easy.

There is an open world out there and we are just wandering through it, with closed eyes and with closed hearts that are bruised and wounded.

The past is in the past and the future has yet to happen.

All we have is this present moment, to live what we aspire...to live what we dream.

How am I doing that today? In this very moment?

Thank you Lord, for the encouragement of Your Living Breathing Words...

1 Corinthians 15:50-58~

I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

55 “Where, O death, is your victory?

Where, O death, is your sting?”

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.


2 Corinthians 5:9-10

9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
