I found God yesterday I found God yesterday in the eyes of a child
He looked up at me and gave me a smile
He gave me such comfort for which I had longed
Through the eyes of a child I realized I belonged
I found God yesterday in an old woman's face
As she held my hand I felt God's embrace
From problems in life I knew I would prevail
Which I felt through her hands so old and so frail
I found God yesterday in the warmth of a friend
Who has given me strength for which I can depend
When life dragged me down and I felt so depressed
not knowing where to look or who to reply on
I realized through my friend just how much I was blessed
I found God yesterday when I searched for so long
And I've come to realize He'd been there all along
In family and friends, and those each day I see
Each day I find God, and now I've found Him in me
Living in my heart, guiding me always
Everything is yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
What about today? Why is it yesterday and not today
Find the Lord God Almighty everyday, search for Him
Each day find Him, to know Him is great
His Boundless Love Oh, by His grace, He saved me,
and new life, He gave me.
His boundless love, holds me safe,
through the storm!
Through storms of life are ever near,
He is with me I've no fear.
His boundless love, always keeps me,
safe and warm!
He's coming back, oh, one day soon!
Won't you come and go with me?
To the home He has prepared,
for those who care.
And when we see His blessed face,
we can thank Him for His grace!
For eternal life,
and for His boundless love!
For through grace and love,
we are saved in His loving hands.
Miracle At the end of a long and painful week, when Life had gone astray,
And the twin sins, Spite and Anger, had visited each day...
As my dreams left me abandoned--all alone and in dismay...
I sank, dejected, to my knees, bowing--and to the Lord I prayed.
"I could really use a miracle, to fix the things that broke,
To mend the battered friendships, to restore my shattered hopes,
To heal my wounded ego--to patch my broken heart...
It may not happen all at once--but a miracle's a start,
To end my pain."
"I could use a chance to redeem myself--to show I really care,
And take the time to prove my worth to loved ones everywhere,
I'd appreciate a little time to try to make amends,
If things I've said or done this week have hurt my dearest friends.
If things I've said or done have ruined my life, my relationships.
"I'd like to sit and ponder on my blessings, large and small...
And thank you, Lord, for my great wealth (and for loving me at all)...
I promise I'd appreciate the ones I hold most dear...
If you could grant me one more chance, then I could persevere.
To fight on for your loving grace."
The Lord took pity on me... and in response to my appeal...
Said, "I know you want a miracle--instead, let's strike a deal.
I'll send a glistening sunrise--each and every day,
I'll grant you hours--twenty-four--to spend in work or play.
I'll give you the most treasured thing of all,
Happiness.
"Use the clouds to wipe your slate clean--of hurt and spite and pain,
Rinse the anger from your memories--with the mist and falling rain.
Wash your hands of hate and insult--with the sparkling morning dew,
Use the brand new day I give you--and start your life anew."
"Each new dawn brings possibilities--endless in their range...
For forgiveness, love and caring--and for honest, heartfelt change.
Use the means that I provide you--they'll help to guide you through...
I'll furnish all the tools you need--but the miracle's up to you."
I’m In The Closet On My Knees She made herself get out of bed
As she faced another day with dread
But she had things she had to do
She had Johnny to tend to
Tiredly she began her day
Already wishing it away
She had nothing more to give
She simply had no will to live
Johnny couldn’t be found anywhere
So she climbed the steps upstairs
From his closet she heard him speak
And his words made her knees go weak
I’m in the closet on my knees
Because that’s where Your Word says to be
I’m just a child that is true
But God I really need to talk to you
Satan is being a bully
And he’s picking on Mommy and me
I can’t beat him by myself
God I really need your help
He’s got to do what you say
So make him leave and stay away
God please help Mommy have faith again
In Jesus’ name I pray-Amen
His actions tugged at her heart
For Johnny was scared of the dark
He faced his fears just for her
Somewhere her emotions began to stir
She kept hearing his simple words
Over and over his prayer she heard
I’m in the closet on my knees
Because that’s where Your Word says to be
Late that evening in the night
She turned out her bedroom light
And as she knelt down on her knees to pray
God must have smiled when He heard her say
I’m in the closet on my knees
Because that’s where Your Word says to be
I’m not a child that is true
But God I really need to talk to you
Satan is being a bully
And he’s picking on Johnny and me
I can’t beat him by myself
God I really need your help
He’s got to do what you say
So make him leave and stay away
God please help me to have faith again
In Jesus’ name I pray-Amen
Johnny and Mommy have faith in the Lord and they believe that He is their Saviour for He sees all and knows everything, knows all of our needs.
God Knows When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts...
God knows how hard you have tried.
When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish...
God has counted your tears.
If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by...
God is waiting with you.
When you're lonely and your friends are too busy for a phone call...
God is by your side.
When you've tried everything and don't know where to turn...
God has a solution.
When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated...
God has the answer.
If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find rayes of hope...
God has whispered to you.
When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for...
God has blessed you.
When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe...
God has smiled upon you.
When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow...
God has opened your eyes and called you by name.
Remember that wherever you are or whatever you are facing...
GOD KNOWS
For He is the Lord of lords, the King of kings, the God of gods.
He creates everyone in His image,
So He knows everything that you have experienced.
Believe in the Lord God is so much bigger than your eyes can see...
God is so much more than your mind can comprehend...
God is much, much more than your emotions could ever feel...
Is He out there?
Yes, He is.
Are you sure?
Yes, I AM.
Does He care?
Yes, He Does.
But, He doesn't even know me... Yes,
He knows you by name.
But, I've never even talked to Him...
He is there just the same.
If I talked would He listen?
Oh yes, He hears and knows every word, every thought,
Every emotion, every breath that you take.
But I'm really nothing special...
Yes, you are... to Him.
But I've done...
It doesn't matter, not to Him.
But the places that I've...
It's nothing new to Him.
He wouldn't want...
Yes, He would... He's just waiting...
Waiting for what?
For you to ask...
Ask? Ask Him what?
To forgive you, and to make you new within,
And your past sins will be gone.
Gone?
Yes, vanished... as far...
As the East is from the West...
And Believe...
Believe what?
That Jesus died on the cross for your sins...
Believe that He...
Is the Son of God.
But I couldn't... Why would He do that for me?
Because He loves You
And Yes, you can...
Just say it and Believe...
Just Believe it?
Yes, believe it... and it's done!
Trust that He is the only way to salvation, the key to eternal life.
Are you sure?
Yes I am, for I Believe in my God, for He touches my soul

Below is a testimony of someone who was changed after witnessing a little girl who is saved by the loving grace of God.
(start of story) I was babysitting for this 4 1/2 year old little girl for the summer. I was out of college for the summer and it was the perfect summer job! Maddie and I would walk to the park everyday after lunch. Maddie loved to swing on the swings and go down the slide. She was a very good hearted little child and she always amazed me at the love she felt for other people. She had such goodness in her little heart. Both of her parents were the same way - - they always had such a peace about them -- I always wondered -- why are they so different?
That day at the park as I was pushing Maddie in the swing, we heard a bunch of kids laughing. We looked over and all the kids were crowded around one of the park benches. Maddie wanted to stop swinging and go over there and see what they were laughing at. We walked over and a little boy ran up to Maddie and said, "Come over here and look at this funny lady! She is dirty and smelly and she is crying!"
Maddie ignored the little boy and walked over to where the woman was sitting on the bench. She looked to be about 50 years old - though she could have been very easily a lot younger. It looked like life had been very hard on her. The little boy was right, she did smell and she was all dirty.
My immediate thought was to grab Maddie by the hand and take her away from this woman. I looked over and Maddie was already sitting next to the woman and was holding her hand. The woman looked down at Maddie and she smiled. For that split second this woman was no longer dirty and smelly, she was beautiful!!! All the other kids finally left and Maddie gave the woman a hug and she too left.
On the way home Maddie was humming a little song and skipping a little bit. Her usual self, she was happy -- not a care in the world. I was waiting for her to say something about the woman, but she didn't. Finally, when we got home I could not wait any longer. I went to Maddie and I asked her, "Maddie, why did you do that?" She said, "Do what Julie?" I said, "Why did you go up to that woman like that and hold her hand Maddie? All the other kids were either laughing at her or they were scared of her. You just went right up to her like that!"
Maddie looked at me and said, "Julie, Jesus wouldn't treat that woman like that. Everyone laughed and treated Jesus that way and look at what He did! He died for us on the cross. Every time I see someone like that being made fun of I always go to them and give them a hug and tell them that Jesus loves them. It always makes them feel better!"
Here I stood -- a 20 year old college student -- supposed to be so smart! And here was this 4 1/2 year old little girl who knew so much more than I did. That's what it was about her!! It was Jesus. Jesus Christ who came to this cold and dirty world, got stepped on, laughed at, spit on and still -- He died for us. I changed that day and the world now looks different to me. All because a 4 1/2 year old little girl showed me what it really means to love. (end of story)
So you see, God has His ways for everything He does. One day, He will open your eyes for you to see for yourself, but He cannot force you to believe in Him, you have to take up your step of faith to trust in Him, to believe that He died for your sins on the cross at calvary, to trust Him as your beloved Saviour. And when you do, ask Him to cleanse you of your sins, and repent from them and ask Him to guide you in your life, to mold you into His image, to change you from your wrongs and to grant you eternal life to spend with Him in the beautiful mansion that He has prepared for you in Heaven. It is never too late to open your heart, to open your door to Jesus... ...But open it for Him to come in, because He is waiting at the door, knocking.
KK I got to go le, see ya!!!! Hope you enjoy my post today!! Is very meaningful and is the absolute truth!!
