Memories: Heavenly Blessings ~ Not Possessions …
James 1:16-17 ~ Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.?
Abba Father good morning ~ The ways of this world; it is not only full of ungodly deception, ungodly delusions, ungodly untruthfulness. It changes by the moment. Constantly looking for quick fixes of ungodliness. That next thrill that just never seems to fulfill. We can take it all in, only to realize emptiness is left behind. The newest of the new bringing false satisfaction. Pleasures disappearing almost instantaneously. It’s a materialistic high for a moment turning into an overburdening disappointment. It appeared to be the answer. A solution. Only to dissipate into the past, leaving behind feelings of emptiness, filled with voids of desperate hopelessness. Remember ~ The ways of this world promise’s everything with the newest of new. Best of the best. This will not disappoint. We have all seen, witnessed, and lived among worldly possessions not fulfilling as promised. There is absolutely nothing the ways of this world can provide that will last forever. It will all be destroyed within a known but unknown moment of time. Take a reflective moment. Be utmost honest. In that reflective moment; Our life: We cling tightly to memories not possessions. Memories are intimate blessings to treasure. Something to cling tightly. Memories bringing back precious moments our life can relive, reshare, and pass on for generations and generations to come. Memories can be good and bad. All serving purpose of instructing, teaching, rebuking, influencing. Take a moment. Slowdown. Live still. Reflecting back. ?Remember sitting on someone’s lap. Holding a hand. Sharing a hot drink. Sitting around a bonfire. Devouring warm brownies. Or just visiting. Wherever you were. Whatever you were doing. Listening intensely, it was instilling precious memories to share for generations upon generations. How much conversation can a possession possibly provide, fulfill, accomplish? It might be a topic. Even entertaining. Possessions: they are not anointed treasures. They cannot actively and intimately warm our hearts with love, instill truth within our minds, engage our souls within everlasting life in heaven. What is actively bringing the most fulfillments to our life? What part of our life are we intimately leaving behind for generations to come? Memories: they are unearnable, unpurchasable, uncreatable free-gifts of life-changing undeserved grace reflecting specific moments of time. Memories are not like possessions. They live deeply within hearts, within minds, within souls. Memories are engageable within our inner-core of thriving life. The Lord Our God is undeniably faithful within every moment of our life. Providing refreshing hope; living hope within every sunrise, every sunset, throughout every night. Nights showing gleaming wondrous splendors of the universe. Days breathing magnificence of life. All uniquely proclaiming the mighty works of The Lord Our God. Our Amazing God: Our Living God is intimately loving this whole world. All of life. Our life preciously, unconditionally, intimately. Every moment engaging all of life. No life will ever go un-provided, unnoticed, untouched, uncared, un-sustained, unloved. Every life matters. The Lord Our God is willingly overshadowing every moment of our life with living affirmation of everlasting life in heaven. Intimately breathing undeniable faithfulness into our life. Dedication to our life breathing protective promises within free-gifts of cleansing, redeeming, restorational undeserved grace. From Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21: Heaven above is engaging all of life within protective promises to never leave us, never forsake us, never abandon us. The same protective promises breathing life into yesterday, within this day, into the future. All fully engageable intimately breathing everlasting life in heaven into all life’s brokenness. The living bible: It teaches our life has engageable promises, intimate promises, livable promises; all creating treasured memories. Free gifts within The Lord Our God’s powerful undeserved grace; all engageable actively breathing living hope. Fulfilling life-changing promises our life can willingly engage, intimately breathe, and freely live within boldness, courageousness, fearlessness. Heavenly gifts of undeniable, unshakable, indestructible faithfulness. Protective promises breathing living hope, agape love, sacrificial forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven. A life of unshakable faith: it is heavenly faith willingly living believing, accepting, trusting, following within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. We will have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. Everyone is living a way of life making decisions. How our life lives engaging life-changing gifts of life from heaven above; it will actively reflect how we are using our time, our energy, our resources. Reflect with utmost urgency. Slowdown. Live alertly. This life: it counts. How is our life willingly engaging free-gifts of The Lord Our God’s powerful life-changing undeserved grace? Heavenly gifts: All fully engageable breathing everlasting life (Holy Spirit) into life’s brokenness (our sinfulness) within anointed sustainable life (Christ Jesus) within everlasting life in heaven (Abba Father). What our life is breathing deep within our heart, our mind, our soul: our inner-core of thriving life. It is a choice. It is a decision. It is a way of life. Our life: We must live alertly. This life: it counts. Our life: it counts. Heaven above: it counts.?

I am thankful, grateful, and cherish our life of intimacy our lives purposefully breathed together.
