WOYWW: Burning HeARTs!

 What's on my desk this Wednesday?

Some beauuuutiful pouches!

I had this gorgeous quilted Indian vest,

which I never wore.

It is so hot here in the Philippines,

see my fan right there in front of me

when I work?

So I had the vest cut up and made into pouches!

I also painted some canvas

and had them made into pouches as well!!!

Want one?

If you say in the comments

if you prefer the Indian one 

or the painted canvas one,

I will do a raffle at the the end of the week

and pick somebody to receive

a small pouch from me. 

 After clearing up the pouches on my desk,

I started reading from the Bible,

and I read from Luke chapter 24,

the account were two of Jesus' disciples

were walking on the way to Emmaus.

(In case you were wondering,
that's Neil Patrick Harris
pretending to be Cleopas)

 They were talking and debating about all the events that

just happened, about how Jesus was crucified.

Jesus joined them but they did not recognize him.

"Then beginning with Moses and the prophets,

he interpreted to them

what referred to Him in all the Scriptures."

Luke 24:27

 When Jesus revealed Himself to them,

and left, they exclaimed,

"Were not our hearts burning within us?"

Luke 24:32

 What makes our hearts burn? excited?

Traveling? A new gadget? Jewelry?

Lots of apps in our iPad? Bargains?

What about the Word of God?

We have to find a way to make Scripture,

God's letters to us, exciting!

That's why I start my day with 

painting His Word.

So I can keep God with me throughout the day.
So I can be involved and enthusiastic and eager
about my prayer time, my time with
the most important person in my life!

How about you?
What can you do to make reading God's Word
and prayer more exciting for you?
Compose a song? Dance?
Read the Bible as if you were actually there,
an eyewitness?
Paraphrase scripture in your own words,
and make your own Bible?

YES! It is possible to make our hearts
burn for God!

"The promise is made to you and to your children
and to all those far off,
whomever the Lord our God will call."
Acts 2:39.

Sometimes people don't keep promises,
but when it's God who makes the promise,
we can be sure He means it.
We can possess what is already ours.
We can claim the inheritance that
Jesus dearly paid for with
His body on the cross.

I remember a story about a man, a man in rags,
found dead on a bench in Central park, New York.
When some people searched his pockets for his identity,
they found several uncashed checks.
A quite sizeable amount.
We would be like that man in Central Park
if we do not know our Father's promises.

In the 24th chapter of Luke,
Jesus talks to the eleven disciples,
"he opened their minds to the
understanding of scriptures."
Luke 24:45
Then He said, "I send down upon you
the promise of my Father.
Remain here...until you are clothed
with power from on high."
That power is ours. BECAUSE GOD PROMISED!
