His Footprints, My Heart...

I hear people say things like that and it breaks my heart also. I just think of how much it breaks God's heart. He is just WAITING for us. Belief in itself just isnt enough

It is a sad response. I've never heard that song...going to have to look it up!

People always think that it is God who leaves us, abandons us...but that is never true. It is us who does the leaving and abandoning...

Steve,
Amen, brother... you can "believe" anything, but "knowing" is the key ;)

Sis, I know... I can't imagine how His heart breaks when we tell Him we don't need Him.

I'll check out the webring...
Love ya!

Daisymarie, it's on their "I Choose You" CD... some great songs on it. You'll love the song in its entirety, GREAT song!

Shelley, you're absolutely right. We were talking in SS this Sunday about feeling like you are in a spiritual drought... someone said sometimes it feels like God is far away or gone, but it's not that... were the ones who move or let sin get in between our relationship with Him.

Great Post! It's so true, so many people just use God, it's all about them. God is so merciful!

"Not too religious..." Well, that's good. Religion never saved anybody. It was agains the "religious" people only that Jesus railed. It is trust in Jesus, Christ, and His finished work at the cross of Calvary that is important. That's the message we have to somehow get across to people.

Live, love, laugh: YES, He certainly is!

Joe: Amen, brother... you hit the nail on the head!

Hi Cindy-Lou,

Awesome post my friend!

Just finished listening to a clip of that song and just the little I hear, spoke volumes to my heart.

Over the last three years, the Lord has become the center of my heart, He is the one that has given me purpose when I was ready to give up. I have known Jesus as my saviour since 1969, but it has only been the last three years that He has become Lord of my life.

He is the one that carried me through the chemo, radiation, two major surgeries and a divorce after nearly 30 years (not by choice)

He loved me enough to allow me go through what I have, to get me where I am now with Him. Like you I cannot imagine life without Him.

Hill Country Thoughts was birthed because of His love for me and it is His gift to me, to use to bring glory and honor to Him and for that I will be eternally grateful.

He has given me so many new friends and is beginning to open new doors and giving me new opportunities to share.

Again Cindy Lou, thank you for sharing. Looks like I am writing a book but your post today touched my heart and made me look into the face of the Lord this morning and I needed that.

Blessings,

Writing for the King,

Paul

"I Choose You" is a great CD all over, I love the new single "Who Am I".

Cindy-Lou,

I too was born and raised Catholic. They are traditionalist. They do not understand the awesome power Gid has. They do not understand that the Bible is the TRUE Spoken word of God.

My Mom is a devoted Catholic that I need to work with, and help her understand just how GREAT God is, and How he is with us, No matter what.

Blessings,

What really hurts... is when it is family... and the words "I don't want to be a Christian" plunge through your heart like a hot knife through butter. The tears flow from your soul then.
