Connecting roads....

Connecting roads...

One of Toyota's advertisements talks about all roads being connected to one another...the story, "around the world in eighty days" has that same connectivity of transportation...the song "no man is an island", the ring - a theme of eternity......all show our connections as well one of the earlier verses...

We are not alone .  We are connected by family, by jobs, by towns, by roads, by faith....and even as Jesus was leaving, he didn't leave us alone ...He asked the Father to send us the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to teach us, to lead us..His care and connection with us never to be broken...or separated ....

Thank YOU so very much that You never leave us ....we connected by a bound that is invincible .....

Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” 

John 8:16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. 

John 14:16-18, 26 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. 

The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. 

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 

Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? 

Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 

As it is written:“For your sake we face death all day long;we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

( each day this week I have been thinking about this blog. Couldn't get to it, but it was still there waiting...then this morning, I knew it was supposed to be written, even though time was again tight...then opened "Jesus calling" and there was this devotional...God's timing is right, connecting:-)

"Jesus calling" July 18
I am nearer than you think, richly present in all your moments. You are connected to Me by Love-bonds that nothing can sever. However, you may sometimes feel alone, because your union with Me is invisible. Ask Me to open your eyes, so that you can find Me everywhere. The more aware you are of My Presence, the safer you feel. This is not some sort of escape from reality; it is tuning in to ultimate reality. I am far more Real than the world you can see, hear, and touch. Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.
“God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’”
—Acts 17:27–28
Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].
—Hebrews 11:1 amp
