Psalms 139:16

The only thing that I got to say, the only thing that I've kept on saying to myself today is this- Baby, RUN! (yea.. I talk to myself....)   " Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us , fixing our eyes on Jesus , the pioneer and perfecter of faith." (Heb 12:1-2)  " Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize . Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.  Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.  No , I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave " (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) Run baby, RUN!

I find myself fighting some nights. Fighting God, His purpose, His plan, His will, His game plan. I see myself running endlessly some days. Running away from Christ. Running away from the responsibilities that He has put before me so that I can do what I want to do. I get myself lost in the mess that I've created some times.

And its at the cross that I come to two elementary but profound conclusions. One, He loves me. The cross is an emblem of divine love, exclusively for the lost, condemned, broken,and unlovable.

ALL things work TOGETHER for GOOD for those who LOVE God ,  those who are CALLED according to His purpose .  God is has been "working" this verse-- Romans 8:28 in my life. I'm not sure if that makes sense but God has been speaking this particular Word to me, over and over for the last couple of weeks, through my friends, pastors, and in my personal devotional time with God.  I get the feeling that God keeps reminding His Word because one of these days, I am going to need to use it or maybe it is for today- that I need to hope on Him. Trust in Him. Believe on Him and upon His purpose. A friend sent me this blog and I was blessed and reminded what Romans 8:28 was all about. Please read it if you have the time. But I'll leave you with a quote! (...a long long quote)  "Imagine a parallel set of train tracks that extends as far as the eye can see.  Those tracks represent the experiences that we all go through in life – one is the painful experi...
