LIVING AS THOUGH IT MATTERS - Lilaclady Junebug2 (June Estelle Cash)

 


WALKING BY FAITH
 - I KEEP CLIMBING  -
LIVING AS THOUGH IT MATTERS  


Here in Blaine WA,  My Home By the Sea,

I had brother Tom, his wife Tencha, sister Cheryl
and John Wojdak, with me found ourselves
reunited for "a little time" together.
In this life of ours, 
Do you LIVE AS THOUGH
IT REALLY MATTERS? 
As I think about my life
here in Blaine, WA
I am sure that my life 
DOES MATTER.
SO. 
I  AM LIVING WITH ETERNITY
IN MY VIEW 
AS BEING 
A REAL
SURETY.

We will either live eternally
for ever with God
or with out Him,
depending on 
HOW WE VIEW LIFE
right now 
for 
Jesus said, 

JOHN 12. 48 
He that rejecteth me, 
and receiveth not 
my words, 
hath one 
that judgeth him: 
the Word which I have
spoken, 
the same  shall judge
him in the last day.

Again, 
Jesus said, 
I  am the Light of the world;
he that followeth me, 
shall not 
walk in darkness,
but shall
have 
the light 
of life.
John 8.12  
How precious TIME is.
How much do you value your TIME?
How much do you value your LIFE? 

Some years ago, we 
traveled all over, while my 
husband was ministering to folk. 
And now, I am here, 
dependent upon others
to take me places 
and get me to my 
needed appointments 
and business.

How do you view
your Life ? 
Does it matter to you 
How you perceive Your Self 
will to a large amount
determine 
WHETHER IT MATTERS OR NOT ! 

My Life is TO BE LIVED 
by June Estelle Cash 1991 

Life is to be lived, 
one 
step 
at a time
until 
we arrive at the crest,
Wistfully looking at
the horizon
below, and before
one step
begins 
the  descent
around
and 
down...
All the while
remembering 
the splash of colors
the shadows and shapes
the hint 
of glory to come.
Life is to be lived, 
Until 
we reach our Final Home,
Heaven, or 
Hell, 
For the Believing One 
Heaven 
is My Home.
For the One who 
rejects 
Believing in 
the Lord Jesus Christ
as the only 
Begotten of the Father
who came 
to Redeem Us
and to 
Save Us
from our lost 
condition.

John 3.16 
Jesus said, 
For God so loved the world
that he gave his only  begotten
Son that whoso ever believeth 
in him should not perish,
but 
have everlasting life.

Again, 
John chapter 3.17
For God sent not his Son
into the world 
to condemn the 
world
but that the world
through him
might be saved.

Jesus was speaking this
to Nicodemus.
It is over 
and 
over
again
that Jesus made
the claim
that if a person
believed in Him and 
took His Word 
as True
then they
would find
it really MATTERED.

SO I SAY TO YOU
DOES IT MATTER?
ARE YOU WILLING
TO SAY?
I am a sinner 
in 
need of a 
Savior? 
 
ARE YOU WILLING
TO AGREE
with 
God that 
without Him,
you 
are in the 
darkness
walking 
as though
you had nowhere to go
and 
only 
living for what 
life gives you today
in the moment
of 
pleasure 
or 
passing 
interest,
and 
what 
you love most 
right now
is 
just your Self.


Just as the Purple Aster - is faithful to come 
back every year, it roots down in the earth, and 
it displays its character.


Jesus said, 
John 14.6 
I am the Way, the Truth
and the Life;
No man cometh 
to the Father,
but by me." 
Again he said, 
John 14.36
He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life; 
and he that believeth not
the Son 
shall not see Life,
but the wrath of God 
abideth on him.

Does it matter to You?  
that 
Christ dieds for our sins?
I Corinthians 15. 3,4
tell us 
in the words of 
Paul the Apostle
"For I delivered unto you
first of all, 
that which I also received, 
that Christ died for our sins 
according to the Scriptures,
and that he was buried,
and that he rose again 
the third day 
according to 
the Scriptures.


When Jesus was born 
He did not begin there.
John 1.1 - 4  tells us 
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word
was with God,
and the Word 
was 
God.
The same was 
in the beginning
with God.
All things were
made by him,
and without him
was not 
anything
made
that was made.
In him was life,
and the life
was the light of men.





So I leave you with this 
thought, 
that it matters 
if I live 
as though 
it matters.

Taking God at His Word,
you can start right now
to trust His 
Word
and 
live 
as though
it really DOES 
MATTER.

Determined to keep on
posting, I know I have
macular degeneration
and could be blind any
moment. 
But for the little
time I have,
I will 
keep on
climbing 
ever higher
and 
one day
I will be
with my precious
Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus said,
Matthew 10.32 - 40
that it costs 
something 
to follow 
Him.

10.32 Whosoever 
therefore shall confess me
before men, him will I
confess also before 
my Father
which is in heaven.
33. But whosoever
shall deny me 
before men 
him will I also deny
before my Father
which is in heaven. 
34. Think not that I
am come to send 
peace on earth; 
I came not to send
peace, but 
sword;
35. For 
I am come to set
a man at variance
against his father,
and 
the daughter
against her mother, and 
the daughter-in-law against
her mother-in-law.
36. And a man's
foes shall be they of his own
household.
37 He that 
loveth father or mother
more than me 
is not worthy 
of me;
and he that
loveth 
son or daughter
more than me
is not
worthy of me.
38. and he that taketh not 
his cross, and
followeth after me,
is not worthy of me.
39. He that findeth
his life shall lose it;
and he that loseth his life
for my sake
shall find it.
40. He that receiveth
you
receiveth me, and
he that receiveth me,
receiveth 
Him that sent me.


So by trusting Jesus
because it MATTERS to you
and 
He paid the price of your sin
fully 
completey
and 
said
"it is finished" 
when he died on the Cross.
And he rose from the grave,
by the power of 
His Resurrection
you and I have
a life to life that
really matters.

Colossians 1.27 
Christ in you, the hope of glory
is the revealed 
truth 
we can believe.

Only to be 
what He wants me to be
Every moment
of every day,
Yielded 
completely 
to Jesus alone,
Every step of my 
pilgrim way.
Just to clay in the
potter's hand,
Ready to do 
what His Word 
commands,
Only to be 
what He wants me to be
Every moment 
of Every 
Day.

These Brown eyed Susans are 
happily blooming today on my
patio.   I want to bloom for Him.
How about you?

How about your heart?
