WE ARE CHRIST'S FRAGRANCE...

The Bible says we are the aroma (fragrance) of Christ. Let's spread that fragrance around!

2 Corinthians 2:15, : For we are to God the aroma of Christ, among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.

Let me be the change...heal our land O Lord....




Healing for our land is in God's hands and begins with me.
Instead of shouting "We want change" why can't I change?
Lord let me change and be the change...
Let me be Your light...
Julia
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Every morning is new...


Hi Family and friends
Let's take a potted Rose plant (With flowers) and place it on the window. And let's turn all the roses to face our room. But as the Sun rises up, we'll find the roses turning towards the sun. It seems to prefer to look at the light than the darkness within the room.
We too need to quickly turn away from gloomy, sad situations and look towards the brighter side of life.
We need to be people who radiate joy and cheerfulness.
It's hard to forget cheerful people who bring joy and smiles our way and they live longer in our memory.
We remember joy more readily than sorrow and we like to be around cheerful people.
Let us be cheerful people too and do all that we have to do cheerfully.
ROMANS 12:8, ".....if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."
Even as the Rose turns towards the sun, which is it's source of energy, let us look towards the SON OF GOD (JESUS OUR SAVIOR) for our source of joy and strength. Let the Glory of God reflect on us & through us.
Be blessed,
YSIC,
Julia

~Memories~to all who stop by my site...


Hi friends, brothers, sisters and all who stopped by my site,

Thanks to each of you.
May the peace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be your portion.
Life gives us brief
moments with another…
but sometimes in those
brief moments we get
memories that last
a life time
May life’s memories
bring joy that fills your
cup to overflowing
.
Hours and flowers fade away...
But 'memories' and 'fragrance' lingers on..
Always leave behind pleasant memories....

Have a memorable day and year...
~~JESUS CHRIST is LORD~~
~~HE LOVES YOU~~

" You may go days without thinking of God, but there's never a moment when He's not thinking of you."
May HE speak to you as you read and meditate on HIS WORD.

Stay Blessed,
Julia
So short is life, so full of meaning
So short is life, expressing ones feeling
Life is short even but a day
Lest one can live, love, laugh and play

Lest one can hear one's point of view
And ask for judgement in what we do.
To help one another when things go wrong
To steady those that are not strong

Do something different every day
and watch as life shows new path ways
Life''s too short to dwell on things
that pull and tear on your heart strings.

The world must be full of wondrous things
More beautiful than gold money and rings

The meanings of our lives
Are out of sight, life is short
In ones own endeavor
To put the things he wants together

To do all the things he wants to do
In this wondrous world
God's given you... 

" The best and most beautiful things in this world
cannot be seen or even heard,
but must be felt with the Heart."
 


People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part
or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is
time to move on.
 
Some people come into your life for aSEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you
laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real.
But only for a season .

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept
the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime...

God is never too busy for you...


Hi..
Sometimes .......
when you feel lost, lonely and no one seems to care...
when all things seems to be working against us...
when you cry and no one seems to notice...
when you sigh and no one sees to see..
when you talk and no one listens...
Do you feel like giving up?
Do you feel it's all over?

Look up to Jesus Christ.
He is the Lord of this universe.
Philippians 2:10-11
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
      in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
      to the glory of God the Father.
Though His Name is above every Name,(Philippians 2:9)
He is never too busy to listen to you.
He loves you more than any one on earth.
If you do not know Him personally, still He'll take time for you.
If He is your Savior just be still in God's presence.
You'll hear your Saviour JESUS whisper so gentle and lovingly say...
"I'll never leave or forsake you."
Joshua 1:5
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Psalm 37:28
For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones.
"You are mine."
Isaiah 43:1
But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
"Call unto me and I will answer you."
Jeremiah 33:3
'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'
Psalm20:1
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
Isaiah 65:24
Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.
" I have good plans for you."
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
"I am your comforter."
Jeremiah 8:18
O my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.
"I am for you."
Romans 8:31
If God is for us, who can be against us?
"One day I will wipe all your tears away."
Isaiah 25:8
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The LORD has spoken.
"I'll love you with an everlasting love."
Jeremiah 31:3
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
"I'll give you my peace, peace that passeth all understanding."
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This list could go on and on ....
Isn't that comforting?
This is enough to put the smile back on our face and the joy in our heart!
Good Night from India

Starting afresh...



Psalm 39:4, " Lord remind me how brief my time on earth will be, remind me my days are numbered & my life is fleeing away."  
Hi family and friends..
 Is your life spinning out of control??
Have you tried hard and failed???
Have you tried doing things your way and messed it up??
I think it's time you let Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
 take the controls of your life.
It's time to start afresh...
Just tell Him...
Dear Heavenly Father
Into YOUR Mighty hands I give it all...
Even my failures, mistakes, falls,
 You be in charge...
Lead me one step at a time...
Steady my faltering steps....
Pick me up, I need your hand to lift me up...
Forgive me for going astray..
It's you I need for it's you who are THE ONE who binds, restores, heal.
I love you my LORD and Savior JESUS CHRIST.
Mould me, make me, restore me...
Help me faithfully serve you, follow you all the days of my life.
Establish your will in my life..
Lead me and guide me...
Show me the path I need to walk on..
Love you Lord...
Hear my prayers..
In the name of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH
Amen
God Bless you all..

START WHERE YOU STAND

Start where you stand and never mind the past,
The past won't help you in beginning new,
If you have left it all behind at last,
Why, that's enough,
you're done with it, you're through.
This is another chapter in the book,
This is another race that you have planned,
Don't give the vanished days a backward look,
Start where you stand.
The world won't care about your old defeats
If you can start anew and win success,
The future is your time, and time is fleet
And there is much of work and strain and stress.
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs,
Here is a brand new trial right at hand,  
The future is for him who does and dares,
Start where you stand.
Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid,
Today's the thing, tomorrow soon will be;
Get in the fight and face it unafraid,
And leave the past to ancient history.
What has been, has been; yesterday is dead
And by it you are neither
blessed nor banned,
Take courage, man, be brave and drive ahead,
Start where you stand.  
~ By Berton Braley (1882-1966)

Which door will you choose?


Hi family and friends...
It's time to make this choice if there is anyone who reads this, has not made this choice as yet.
IN LIFE WE HAVE MANY CHOICES, BUT ETERNITY HAS ONLY TWO.
HEAVEN OR HELL...

Matthew 25:46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
WHICH ONE DO YOU CHOSE?


IN THIS WORLD THERE ARE MANY PATHS, BUT THERE ARE JUST 2 PATHS THAT LEAD TO ETERNITY.
NARROW OR BROAD...

Matthew 7: 13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
WHICH ONE WILL YOU CHOSE?
There is just ONE WAY that leads to heaven.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
If you have not made this choice, do it today.

Jesus Christ our Lord waits with outstretched arms to hold you and make you His own.
He is the one who will give rest to a burdened soul.
Jesus said..

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Tomorrow may never be yours.
Choose Eternal life.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 5:24 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
John 17:3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Escape eternal condemnation and the place of torment by choosing Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Luke 16:23 In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
Let's beware...
Jude 1:4 For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality anddeny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
God bless you..
