THE HEART!!

LOGIC CAN TELL YOU SUPERFICIALLY WHERE A PATH MIGHT LEAD;
BUT IT CANNNOT BE SURE WHETHER YOUR HEART WILL BE IN IT ALSO.

WHEN YOU SURRENDER YOUR HEAD TO YOUR HEART;
YOUR HEART WILL GIVE YOU A MORE GOD LIKE PERSPECTIVE.


(my heart for today)

MY PASTOR

Proverbs 27: 1 and 2

"Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips."


WHAT BIRTHED THIS POST IS, WHILE I WAS READING MY BIBLE, THESE SCRIPTURES SCREAMED OUT AT ME. ALL I COULD THINK WAS " THAT SCRIPUTE SPEAKS OF PASTOR KING, AND OUR YOUTH PASTOR MARK KING."
IN MY 23 YEARS LIVING FOR GOD, I CANNOT RECALL ONE UTTERANCE FROM MY PASTOR LIFTING HIMSELF UP.

WHEN I THINK OF PASTOR KING, WORDS COME TO ME LIKE; HUMBLE, BROKEN, KIND, LOVING, FORGIVING, LONGSUFFERING, ANOINTED, MAN OF GOD, PROPHETIC, GENEROUS, INTELLIGENT, ELOQUENT, FUNNY, LOVER OF CHILDREN.

I COULD ADD SO MANY MORE QUALITIES IN MY PASTOR....I MAY AGAIN ANOTHER TIME.

I JUST WANT TO WRITE MY HEART TODAY! GOD BROUGHT PASTOR KING TO CALGARY, TO BE THE CALIBRE OF MAN OF GOD, THAT I NEEDED.
I WAS (hopefully still not) SO HEAD STRONG, DISILLUSIONED, IN YOUR FACE TYPE OF PERSON; GOD KNEW WHO TO PLACE IN CALGARY TO REACH ME. IF PASTOR KING WERE NOT THE CALIBRE OF MAN HE IS; I WOULD HAVE SNIFFED HIM OUT AND LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE.

ALL I CAN SAY IS; HE IS PERFECT IN CHRIST. I WILL FOLLOW HIM AS HE FOLLOWS CHRIST.
YOU CAN AND MAY SAY; " he is just a man!". I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I SAY! I FIND NO FAULT. I MEAN NO FAULT!
PASTOR KING HAS MADE THE PATH SO CLEAR OF CLUTTER FOR ME TO FOLLOW, HIS TEACHING AND PREACHING BASED SOLEY ON THE WORD OF GOD; HAS MADE IT SO EASY FOR ME.

I LOVE THAT MY PASTOR WILL NOT BE BOUGHT. THAT IS BIG TO ME! THE MESSAGE HAS NEVER CHANGED, NOT ONE WORD!

IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW,,,,,,,, I LOVE THIS LIFE SO VERY MUCH, I LOVE MY THREE CHILDREN TOO MUCH, I LOVE MY PASTOR AND HIS WIFE SO VERY MUCH. I LOVE THEIR THREE CHILDREN SO VERY MUCH.
I LOVE PREACHING, THE WORD OF GOD, SOULS, CHURCH, WORSHIP, ALTER WORK, YOUNG PEOPLE, ELDERLY PEOPLE.

I FOUND MY LIFE AND PURPOSE. BEFORE GOD I WAS MERELY EXISTING, LIVING WITH A GREY CLOUD OVER MY HEAD FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE I WENT.

TO HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, BAPTISED IN JESUS NAME, EMBRACING HOLINESS, BEING SO BLESSED TO BE UNDER THE WONDERFUL LEADERSHIP OF PASTOR JOHHNY KING,,,,,,,,,, GOD IS TOO GOOD TO ME!

AGAIN, I WILL FOLLOW THIS GODLY MAN AS HE FOLLOWS CHRIST,,,, UNTIL I LAY MY HEAD DOWN AND I'M IN MY BOX...

THANK YOU PASTOR KING, FOR BEING THE PASTOR YOU ARE!

I know most of you have read this before, I am not even trying to reinvent the wheel here; just does me good to read and reread positive things often.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

WHEN A DEFINING MOMENT COMES ALONG, YOU CAN DO ONE OF TWO THINGS.
DEFINE THE MOMENT, OR LET THE MOMENT DEFINE YOU.


WE CANNOT TELL WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO US IN THE STRANGE MEDLEY OF LIFE. BUT WE CAN DECIDE WHAT HAPPENS IN US.

MY PASTOR'S WIFE

HOW DO I DESCRIBE AND EXPRESS MY FEELINGS TOWARD HER? THIS MORNING I FEEL SO STRONG TO TRY TO ATTEMPT.
WHENEVER I READ OR CONTEMPLATE SUCH THINGS THAT ARE INSPIRATIONAL, INSTRUCTIONAL, SPIRITUAL TO ME; SISTER KING IS OVER THE TOP IN ALL AREAS

THIS WOMAN IS A CHRISTIAN! HER CAPACITY TO; LOVE, ENCOURAGE, GIVE, LISTEN, COUNCEL, UNDERSTAND, LONGSUFFER, ENDURE, FORGIVE, BELIEVE, BEAR ALL THINGS, HOPE FOR GOOD, ASTOUNDS ME.

I COULD WRITE AT LENGTH ON EACH AND EVERY ATTRIBUTE MENTIONED ABOVE. SHE WOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNEASY, SO I WON'T.

ANYWAYS, ANYONE THAT KNOWS HER; KNOWS THIS TO BE TRUE.

PLEASE FULLY UNDERSTAND; WE ARE BLESSED!!! NOT EVERY PASTORS WIFE ON THIS GLOBE; SPENDS HERSELF LIKE OUR PASTORS WIFE.

WHEN I GROW UP!! I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE SISTER KING.

THIS IS MY HEART TODAY!

POIGNANT WORDS;

MANY PEOPLE WILL WALK IN AND OUT OF YOUR LIFE, BUT ONLY TRUE FRIENDS WILL LEAVE FOOTPRINTS IN YOUR HEART.


TO HANDLE YOURSELF, USE YOUR HEAD;
TO HANDLE OTHERS, USE YOUR HEART.


ANGER IS ONLY ONE LETTER SHORT OF DANGER.


THE TONGUE WEIGHS PRACTICALLY NOTHING, BUT SO FEW PEOPLE CAN HOLD IT.


GREAT MINDS DISCUSS IDEAS;
AVERAGE MINDS DISCUSS EVENTS;
SMALL MINDS DISCUSS PEOPLE.


BEAUTIFUL YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ACTS OF NATURE,
BUT BEAUTIFUL OLD PEOPLE ARE WORDS OF ART.
LEARN FROM THE MISTAKES OF OTHERS;
YOU CAN'T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM ALL YOURSELF.


GOD GIVES EVERY BIRD ITS FOOD,
BUT HE DOESN'T THROW IT IN ITS NEST.

POEM

TIS NOT IN THE HIGH STARS ABOVE
NOR IN THE CUPS OF BUDDING FLOWERS,
NOR IN THE REDBREAST'S MELLOW TONE,
NOR IN THE BOW THAT SHINES IN SHOWERS,
BUT IN THE MUD AND SCUM OF THINGS,
THERE ALWAYS, ALWAYS SOMETHING SINGS.

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)
