“But what about you?” He [Jesus] asked, “Who do you say I am?” -Mark 8:29
You may have read this before, or heard it, maybe a thousand times.
But your true, real, considered deep in your mind and heart answer is the most important decision and answer of your life.
No over-exaggeration here.
Think about it.
Love and blessings to you all, Lisa
The place where God and earth and eternity intersect is timelessness and true beauty.
That place can be anywhere where your eyes are open, really open.
It is where your ears hear birds and wind, where your feet itch to keep moving.
Timelessness is the place of the heart, the yearning of the soul, the Voice of God.
Blessings, Lisa
Do you believe in the account of Christ’s nativity?
Why would God send His beloved Son to this earth, to live as a man, and to suffer?
Do you believe that God loves you, even before you loved Him?
Do you feel uneasy and scared about what happens after death?
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)

Two photographs for your perusal.
One taken quickly, without allowing autofocus to kick in.
One taken properly, the camera autofocusing on the beautiful daffodils.
I want my focus on Christ to be fixed, on autofocus. I pray that each day, my gaze will be automatically fixed more and more on His goodness, His mercy, His forgiveness, His love. All the other unlovelies will fade into the background, and all I will see is Him. Please, Lord Jesus, help me not to be so easily distracted.
“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” – Hebrews 12:2
Because Jesus Christ is all that matters. He is the most beautiful, the most perfect, the eternal.
Blessings, Lisa

“I AM the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” – John 14:6
“And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At that moment the curtain [veil] of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.” – Matthew 27:50-52
So many mysteries and questions that we, as human creations, have. But all of the mysteries and questions are answered in one name alone: the Lord Jesus Christ.
Open the door. He is there, waiting for you, because He loves you so very much.
Love, Lisa
