Give them all to Jesus


 Rom 8:28 : “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

Hi friends,
Today I was reminded of a song I learnt in my childhood. The lyrics (given below) remind us that no matter whether it is that thing in our life that seems impossible or which we have endlessly been striving for, or even if it is that which seems destroyed beyond our repair, we just need to take our pretty rainbows, our shattered dreams and our broken toys to the Lord and He will turn those sorrows of ours into joys. Be encouraged today dear friend that nothing is wasted if we place it in the Lord’s hands!

Words and Music by Phil Johnson and Bob Benson.
Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows?
Are you tired of spinning round and round?
Wrapped up all those shattered dreams of your life
At the feet of Jesus, lay them down.
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, and broken toys.
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
And He will turn your sorrows into joy.

He never said you would only see sunshine,
He never said there would be no rain.
He only promised a heart full of singing
About the very things that once brought pain.

Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, and broken toys.
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
And He will turn your sorrows into joy.

Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
Shattered dreams, wounded hearts, and broken toys.
Give them all, give them all, give them all to Jesus
And He will turn your sorrow into joy
And He will turn your sorrow into joy.

Choose TODAY!

“Joshua 24:15 : “But if you don't want to serve the LORD, then choose today whom you will serve. Even if you choose the gods your ancestors served on the other side of the Euphrates or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live. As for me and my family, we will serve the LORD."


Today, everywhere we go we are faced with choices to make. While driving, whether to go left or right or straight ahead. When at the supermarket purchasing washing detergent, again we are faced with a wide variety to choose from. At the candy store,there is Kitkat, Perk, Bounty, Twix, Galaxy etc to choose from. While at the restaurant, the waiter rattles to us a whole list of  available options, so many choices for us to choose from that we often end up confused! Watch this funny Kingfisher Ad below for illustration:



Often the choices we make in the above mentioned matters don’t make any marked differences in our normal life but there are certain changes like choice of job location, choice of spouse while getting married, choice of college for higher studies, etc that affect our lives to a certain extent. And we have to make these choices at the right time and with care. However in this post , I want to share with you a  life changing choice that you may not have made till now.

Friend, will you choose today whom you will serve? Will you serve the LORD JESUS Today? This choice is one that will alter your life forever.


Isaiah 35:8 “And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.”

Proverbs 16:17 The highway of the upright avoids evil; he who guards his way guards his life.

ALWAYS REMEMBER FRIEND, THAT YOUR DESTINY IS NOT A MATTER OF CHANCE BUT OF CHOICE! CHOOSE WISELY! CHOOSE PROMPTLY! CHOOSE TODAY! CHOOSE JESUS.


Enjoy this wonderful song by Brian Doersken that summons us to make that choice today!

I honestly hope that you have made that choice. Congratulations if you have. If you still have not, why don’t you choose today? All Heaven awaits your response. Choose while there is still time.



Have a pleasant week.

Cheers,

Sparky Laurie
