Lions of God: Love is Real. Redemption is Real. God is Real.

Love is Real. Redemption is Real. God is Real.

Pray for the hurting and broken. They hide behind their dark clothes, music, makeup and masks. They hide in our everyday lives. They hide within our own families. They hide behind hostile eyes. Behind lies. Behind smiles. But they want to be FOUND, they want to be SAVED, they need YOU to be the one to care enough to bring them to God and His Love and peace. There is hope. Rescue is real. Don't lose faith. You are 'fearfully and wonderfully made'.

You are beautiful. You can be saved. You are offered His Grace. "In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me. Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress." Psalm 71:1-3.

"For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness our sins." Colossians 1:13-1

Lions of God

Our lives can be ended so easily that its scary to think one minute you're here and the next you're before God's throne. That is why we have to make it count. Nothing we will ever do will make us better than anyone else. But that doesn’t mean we should conform to a fallen world. We have to stand up in it, be proud to be His sons and daughters, yet be humble enough to realize we are no better than those we witness to. We have to dance and sing when others are silent and act when others are afraid. We have to pray in Jesus Christ's name while others curse in it. We have to see the world through His eyes and act with His hands, listen through His ears, and speak in His words. That is our calling. To "Go into all the World and preach the good news to all creation." In His name we will "drive out demons, speak in new tongues, place our hands on snakes and not be poisoned, lay hands on the sick and they will get well." (Mark 16:15-18) We have the power. We have the opportunities. All we lack is the courage to be the Lions we are called to be. We have Christ inside of us. Your friends, your teachers, your enemies will see Him in you and ask themselves 'what makes him/her different?', and in that little thought the gates of their mind and heart will be opened enough to let God in.

Joy in Trials

Hold onto Jesus, And don’t let go. For there will be trials, The Bible says so. They’re given for a purpose. It’s part of His plan. You're to count them all joy, And rejoice if you can. Knowing that going through them Your faith’s in a test, And patience is the reward, With which God wants to bless. YOU for persevering and not giving in, To the temptations that surround you, The subtle call of sin. So stand fast my brethren And resist the evil one... Looking unto Jesus, And all that He has done. See, He was all God, But he was also all Man, He’s already won the victory So that you can GLORIFY HIM While you simply sail through, All of life’s storms, When they seem to engulf you. Knowing the testing of your faith Is making you stronger, And that patience is making you perfect, In case He tarries longer. -By Diana M.
