What Does It Really Mean to Die to Self? By Karen Rowe

The Life is in the Seed!

What if the shell refused to let the life out of the body?

Dear Friends,

But now, O Lord , thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Isaiah 64:8 KJV

How is everything going?

All is well is a blessing in the Lord that we all go through things in this broken world, but in Christ we get through all things and with a stronger faith than ever before!

God is the same God, but only our Father when we receive the Christ, as a baby is only formed by the way God has made. The egg must receive the sperm and no thing can change the way human life is made.

After we come to know & believe in the Love God has for us, we receive God as our Father as He has made us to be His Child!

Just as a baby doesn’t happen every time, but every time a baby is formed, it is by no accident. God is in control … But He gives us choices and set before us are life and blessings, according to God’s good will ; and set before the world is death and curses; according to the law of sin and judgment.

But God loved the world SO MUCH, He gave His only begotten Son for you…not to condemn you ..condemnation is already in place in this world. But Jesus come to divide flesh from spirit, so that we could live and be blessed.

Our body is like the shell of a corn seed. You plant it under the ground and wait. What is happening under the dirt? The life is in the seed! Everything is in the seed ~ the roots, the sprout that will grow to be a strong holding stalk, the tassel & even the ears of corn that will produced more seeds! It will take that strong stalk to hold all the blessings coming! And God knows what He is doing!

We can trust God and follow Jesus to life & blessings of Peace and Joy and riches beyond our comprehending … If you would look through binoculars, you can get a glimpse of far away.

Jesus brings reality of Life with God Up closer to draw is nearer to Him! Sometimes, if all is going good, we might tend to think we don’t need God, but when humility keeps us close, we discover life with God, our Father is a wonderful and amazing relationship to dwell in!

Get your testimony, by praising God for who He IS, praying in the Spirit and discover who Jesus is to you & your faith!

… JESUS DEEPLY LOVES YOU!

Holy Spirit encourage the readers today.  Lift our minds higher to God’s Thoughts.  Bless those who will receive.  And, keep molding our hearts to be always ready to bloom for the glory of God to be a blessing to us all.

and pray …in the Spirit of the Most Holy God.  God knows what He is doing.

Love in Christ,

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
