Sub-Title: "GOD'S LOVE...HIS PLAN...HIS SEEDS...HIS HARVEST...HIS GLORY!!!!!!!!!
Much too often...I SAY "I NEED..." when it is really only a desire, rather than a 'Need'!!!
Definition-NEED...A lack of something Required, a Necessity.
Definition-DESIRE...a Wish, or longing for.
Frequently, I say - "I need to Exercise three (3) times per week in order to maintain good health. (That fits the definition of Need- Necessity/Required).
HOLY GOD OUR FATHER WANTS to Meet our Needs (Luke 15:31). Today (7-3-2025) I have been Praying - "I need healing for my back...". Of course I WANT to be healed QUICKLY---But O so Graciously Our FATHER Gently reminds me that HE has a more far-reaching plan and time for HIS healing for my back...
For Example: When I go to the Doctor's office...I will see many other people that HE wants me to Pray for... and Maybe some of them will pray for me!
Because GOD has written down (in Psalm 139:16) that "...HE wrote down our EVERY day --- BEFORE the day of our birth!!! (So HE knows whom I will See, or will be seen By... on Every Day!!!
HE UNDERSTANDS us!!! (Proverbs 8:14). HE KNOWS that waiting PATIENTLY is difficult for us: So HE has provided for us HIS HOLY SPIRIT to enable us: "But the Fruit of THE HOLY SPIRIT is: Love, Joy, Peace, PATIENCE, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control." (Galatians 5:22-23).
Let me relate to you a True Story: A man named William Jennings Bryan lived in the United States of America from 1860 - 1925. Mr, Bryan was both a lawyer and a politician. He had, (and exercised), a strong Christian Faith. He was a truly Excellent speaker...so gifted a speaker that he was called "The Silver-Tongued Orator" (Speaker). In one of the books (IN HIS IMAGE) which he wrote ...He tells a personal story: "I was passing through Ohio some years ago and stopped to eat at a restaurant. My attention was called to a slice of watermelon, and I ordered it and ate it. I was so pleased with the melon that I asked the waiter to dry some of the seeds so that I may take them home and plant them in my garden. That night a thought came into my mind---I would use that watermelon as an illustration. So, the next morning when I reached Chicago, I had enough seeds weighed to learn that it would take about five thousand (5,000) seeds to weigh a pound, and I estimated that the watermelon weighed about forty (40) pounds. Then I applied mathematics to the watermelon. A few weeks ago before, someone, I know not who, had planted a little watermelon seed in the ground, Under the influence of sunshine and shower that little seed had 'taken off its coat and gone to work' ; it had gathered from somewhere two hundred thousand (200,000) times its own weight, and forced that enormous weight through a tiny stem and built a watermelon. On the outside it had put a covering of green, within that a rind of white and within the white-a core of red, and then it had scattered through the red core little seeds, each one capable of doing the same work again, What architect drew the plan? Where did that little watermelon seed get its tremendous strength? Where did it find its flavoring extract and its coloring matter?"
"Then GOD said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind..."(Genesis 1:11).
So let US seek, AND FOLLOW GOD'S WISDOM (1 Corinthians 1:30) and timing for our days and nights...BOWING before HIM and asking HIM to fill us with HIS HOLY SPIRIT so that through us---HE can bring about HIS Harvest of GLORY to HIM--- by us scattering HIS seeds into other people's lives!
Those seeds will repeat the same work again, and AGAIN and AGAIN!!!!!!!!!
JESUS says to us:
"...you shall be baptized with THE HOLY SPIRIT... (Acts 1:5).
"...you shall receive power when THE HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you..." (Acts 1:8).
"...Repent and let you be baptized in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST for the forgiveness of sins; and you shall receive the HOLY SPIRIT..." (Acts 2:38).
"And when HE (JESUS) had said this, HE breathed on them and said (Ask) and RECEIVE the HOLY SPIRIT." (John 20:22).
"He (THE HOLY SPIRIT) will guide you into all truth." (John 16:13).
BY HIS HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH US...HE SHALL BRING A HARVEST OF GLORY TO HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!
