It’s a beautiful day!!

Good morning to all and what a beautiful morning it is!! I was sitting out side this morning at the picnic table, sipping on my creamy concoction of coffee, sugar, and a light touch of creamer, and observing the beauty of nature and listening to her song. With a slight breeze coming across the dewy grass and wisping through the tree tops, the birds chirping, the morning sun warming the earth, the horse chomping away at the grass, the rabbits running to and fro, and the squirrels carrying on like old maids. I sat there in deep thought just thinking of God and appreciating his glorious creation. Then it brought into a different perspective as to what God is…. God is a God of beauty, peace, joy, happiness, abundance and love; A God so powerful and overwhelmingly large yet so simple. We may perceive a thing as being large or a task to great or a need or desire too much, but for God (whom effortlessly spoke the world into creation) size is no issue. God is not a God of limitations but a God that loves you and I much more than we could ever love him. He praises every good deed you do and forgives the bad ones, bestows unlimited blessing upon us which many we take for granted. It has been my experience that the more one appreciates and tries to recognize them the more he bestows unto you. In the bible Jesus mentions the flower called the lily. The lily is a highly recognized flower for its beauty and peace for its sweetness and fragrance. If God created so much beauty in a plant of that nature, imagine what he could create through you if you allowed him to. We as humans tend to put self imposing limitations on ourselves due to the fact that as the saying goes we can't see past our noses. Is your God the limited God who works on our level, or is he the almighty and all powerful the great I AM ready and willing to assist you, to bless you, to heal you, to carry you to greater and greater levels of service and abundance. One may say but I don't deserve all the blessing or luxuries in life, and my response to them is in reality we not only don't deserve that but neither do we deserve to live, but through Gods love we are doing that. He doesn't allow us to be here so that we can be like blocks of dirt on the beach of life waiting for the tides of death to just come and wash us back into the ocean of forgotten mankind, but he wants us here to glorify him, to allow him to show his glory through us, and the only way to do that is by allowing him to do it; By allowing him to bestow upon us all his glory and blessings, by allowing him to work through us. Many times in the bible God tells his people that he is doing what he does so that all may see him and his glory. God is not a God of limitations or lack but a God of unlimited abundance, we have yet to run out of our natural resources….gold has been mined for thousands of years in large quantities, as has silver and all the other metals and minerals, crude oil has been pumped out of the earth for over a hundred years and there is no end in site. They say that we have enough under the U.S. to meet the present demand for over 300 more years. So my question to you is who is limited you or God? Jesus told us that with faith the size of a mustard seed we can move mountains, so then what are the limitations that God has put on us? The answer is that the only limitation God has put us under is that we serve him with love, gratitude, and a strong dedication to carry out his will and all the rest will be added unto you. Is it wrong to ask God to bless you with an abundant life? Is it wrong to ask for great things, Beautiful things? No. I find it rather strange that many like to think so. If you look in the scriptures at a little prayer given by a supposedly unrecognized man in the long list of the genealogy in 1 chronicles 4:9-10 you can see that it is not only proper but totally recognized as a great prayer. Why else would it be smack in the middle of a long list of begats? If you read in matt.6:9-13 Jesus almost replicates this prayer but with a little more description. Well I have said enough for today and hope you have enjoyed the thoughts. May God Bless
