Five-minute Friday: Favorite

I have, at times, participated in Five minute Friday writing challenge hosted by Kate Motaung at http://katemotaung.com/.  It's a great exercise for me as a would-be writer to engage in, using my current skills and hopefully fine-tuning them--in an unedited, fast-paced writing spurt of five minutes.  Now that I have a blog, it is much easier than it used to be when I would put my "spurt" in the comment box. :)  The word for this week is Favorite.  So, without further ado, here I go:
          I don't have a favorite sports team.  I don't have a favorite ice cream flavor (there are just way too many good ones!).  I don't have a favorite color (I love so many!).  But I do have one favorite above all.  I have a Favorite with Whom  I love to spend time.  He is my Lord Jesus Christ.  I get up in the morning and I want to go meet Him.  I find Him in a cozy corner of my house and there I read the loving words He has written to me in His Word, the Bible.  There I get to talk to Him as long as I want without long-distance phone fees.  There I get to hear from my One True Love Who has my best interests in mind, and in Whose Presence I am the safest and securest than any other.  He's my Favorite and He treats me like I'm His favorite.  He doesn't have favorites, but when He tells me "whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord" I know He means me.  When He says "I am with you always" I can take it as Him talking directly to me.  There is no one I feel more comfortable with.  He knows all my secrets, my dark and dim, and my highest delights.  He knows what I wish for and what I want to be and He has great plans for making me something far better than I could ever imagine being.  He is the Top of my List.  He is so wonderful!

    Love this! And somehow I know that we are all loved by God as his favorites, too.

      I have so often marveled at the treatment the Lord gives me--as if I am His only child! He treats me with such favor and showers blessings on my head as if I was something, when He is the extent of any worth I have! He so amazes me!

    Hi Trissy! Just passing through from the FMF linkup. This post was fantastic, the way you described your personal relationship with God. He's so focused on each of us that it's easy to claim the number one spot as His favorite. Many you continue to enjoy such intimacy with our wonderful and matchless God :)

Five Minute Friday: Here

It's Friday again and time to team up with Kate Motaung and the gang at  FMF blogger party ! The word for this week is: Here Go! The summer course is over, I've turned in my last test.  The LORD helped me all the way and I'm so thankful and excited to be done.  Now for a week or two free before the fall schedule starts.  But what then? And what before then? And what after then?  I find myself again to be in need of coming before my gracious Master and saying, "LORD, I am here.  Whatever You want to do with me now and in the future, take me and use me.  I'm not sure what Your will is for me, what Your intentions are, but I know that they are for my good, because You are good.  You do all things for my good, and most importantly for Your Glorious Name to be exalted.  So, LORD, use me, do whatever You want to do.  I offer my life, I am here for You, dear Potter.  Who else is here with me on the altar?  May  I be used by You to be an encouragement to them as they conti

Five Minute Friday: Pass

  Teaming up with Kate Motaung and the bunch at http://katemotaung.com/2016/04/28/five-minute-friday-pass/ .   It's been far too long and I just couldn't pass up today's word: Pass. Go:    Recently my family has encountered many different media with emphasis on witnessing, Scripture memory, and the persecuted church.  As a result, I've had many thoughts and prayers swirling inside my heart.    One of the biggest players in the emphasis on the persecuted church has been a set of DVDs my Mother purchased for our family to watch together called Dispatches from the Front by Dr. Tim Keesee.    Dr. Keesee is a Christian journalist who travels to the world's difficult places meeting with missionaries in those areas and getting to see what the Lord is doing in those nations.  It has been truly encouraging to see just a small part of what the Lord has been doing behind the scenes.  (I say behind the scenes, because most of these people are ones I have never heard about and
