On time, on target, and heading your way

So to wrap up this weeks thoughts I ask; as Christmas draws near, let us take the time to remember. We are not running on our schedule. We can bang our head against the wall all we want to and things are not going to move any quicker or any slower. Just as we have seen with the birth of Christ, life will unfold for us as the fullness of time comes. I am not saying we should not keep pushing towards our goals; we just need to understand that the end might not be where we thought it was. No matter where that end is, as long as we are charging hard after the Lord, we will land right where we are supposed to be.

Remember that we are part of a brotherhood; Christ was born by a woman, under the same laws as we are. His birth is the beginning of the events that would forever change the world. HE came to us as one of us. The Lord always is searching for us. HE will come to you no matter how dark the night might seem. I know a lot of people like to ask, “have you found the Lord” of Have you found Jesus”, I believe we miss part of the marvel of the Lord when we pose that question. Yes we all might be searching for the Lord, but he has been searching for us since the day we were born. He is the good shepherd, not the goal of a hide and seek game. To ask if we have found him is to suggest that He might be hiding from us, or that he might be hard to find.

He is always easy to find, because He is searching for you. Remember Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened. The Lord will change your life, he will take you from where you are right now, and take you to your full potential. Read about Moses, Jacob, Joseph, these men were lifted up to their full potential through the Lord. Read about Paul in the book of Acts. You will see just how big of a difference the Lord can make in a persons life, you will get an idea of just what someone’s full potential is! That is really all we can hope for, to reach our full potential in the eyes of the Lord. With him nothing is impossible, yet without him, nothing will last.

I encourage everyone to take the new few weeks and reflect on were they find themselves this Christmas. Make a decision to commit fully to the Lord, I will put forth this challenge, fully commit, and give the Lord 60 days. For 60 days make it a point to read the word, reflect on it’s meaning. Pray to the Lord for strength and guidance. If you do not have a church already, seek one out. Decide to fully let the Lord work in your life, no half measures, no if you do this for me I’ll do this for you deals. Just open your heart, and open your ears. What you see unfold before your eyes will be unbelievable.

Peace,
Rev. Thetford
