Seeking Souls

December 7, 2023

Good morning! This is a poem I wrote, about maturing in faith to care for others’ souls. It’s a natural part of seeking God and learning what truly matters.

Seeking Souls

The more we seek, the more we know,

the more God gives to help us grow.

The more we grow, the more we care,

that souls are lost and sorrows bear.

The more we care, the more we strive,

not for ourselves, but others’ lives.

The more the world lives just for self,

the more they need the Lord Himself.

Let’s tell anew, so souls will live,

that only God, true joy can give.

The world is such a scary place.

Let’s brave the tide, reach souls with grace.

With love from the Father to you, Have a great day! …Tina

Monday Mindset – Get Your Eyes Fixed

December 4, 2023

That may sound like a strange title but that is what we, as followers of Jesus, are called to do, fix our eyes! If we are followers of Him, we must look at things HE looks at. We must look at things how HE looks at them. Our life is not just about THIS life and what it looks like to us, but what it looks like to God and for God. How does God see this life? As temporary, until we see him:)

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3

The apostle Paul says to look ABOVE where we are. Ok, Paul. I will get my eyes fixed:) I want to focus on the eternal! You?

Here’s another verse for a good mindset for this week:

He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. Hebrews 11:26

Our homes and treasures in whatever city, state or country, are not enduring. Our heavenly ‘forever home’ awaits! Thats where our treasure is, Jesus! For the sake of Christ, let’s be looking for THAT city and that reward.

Dear Father, Please fix our eyes. We want to focus more on our heavenly treasure and home and not our earthly home. Give us the nudge and confidence and strong desire to tell others about You, so they can have the treasure of You also. We love You! Amen

With love from the Father to you, have a great day!
