Like a mud, that will help us understand our true nature as sinners, Mandy! And we desperately need the Triune GOD’s Salvation work that cleanses our sins and drawing us closer to Him. Blessings to you and your family! I hope that won’t affect your sleep.
Brother, you are so right about desperately needing the Triune God’s cleansing work! I am going to have a small snack and then sleep! Still ok with supplies?
When you start to envy a pig, you know you’re in a bad shape. But this little pig – the prodigal son – knew he could run home to his father, because he knew his father’s loving nature, full of grace. What he didn’t know was how abundant that grace was! His father would run to meet him! What a picture of unconditional love for us unlovely(piggy) sinners! 🙂Blessings and good day to you, Kent!
Thank you for your caveat, insight, and for sharing us the wonderfully amazing and so vastly huge grace GOD has. We received this Truth on GOD’s grace by faith in JESUS CHRIST as our Savior from our sins and Lord GOD of our life; seeking Him constantly. Likewise, blessings Dora, to you and your family! In few days we will have the chariots of fire theme.
Your verse today Kent reminds me tha the best the world offers pales in comparison to the glories of being in His Eternal care.
Thank you and may our Father Father God guide and bless you brother.
You are right, Alan! The world’s best is not worth losing the opportunity to be with GOD in Heaven someday. What the world offers is limited in time and scope. And when rejecting GOD in the process of attaining it leads to eternal regret. We are grateful to GOD for His inspiration and direction in our blogs as we serve Him as His soldiers/enlisted men to spread the Gospel. You have wonderful sceneries and amazing blend of colors of photos in your posts. Blessings to you and your family!
We are all serving GOD and encouragement is part of His command to carry the burden, Alan. With that, GOD listens to daily prayers. A blessed Wednesday ahead to you and your family! Good afternoon!
JESUS CHRIST conveyed these Parables first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles, like us, reading it now. True, in the Jewish context, a pig who roams around the streets eating garbage is not something one should be near with as to not get defiled, let alone associate or rival with a carob pod. Like what you’ve said, Jim, it is a humbling place and you’re right, sometimes that place of brokenness makes us value GOD more by seeking JESUS in our lives; realizing, our Savior and Lord GOD is all that we have and GOD the FATHER is calling us through our predicament. The other approach is foolishly to curse and jump to hell like there is no Hope at all. CHRIST is the Hope and having faith in Him leads to guidance in life by HOLY SPIRIT. Blessings to you and your family! Originally, the graphics was supposed to be pigs eating thrash on a hillside but that is too graphic for a graphics.
Actually, the not so conservative pictures (e.g. lawn mower) attracts more viewers to its scripture content than the classic elegant sceneries. Just an observation.
You are right, mi amiga! To some extent, it is just like parents teaching their younger kids how important their parents are (especially when they are angry with mom and dad for not buying their toy). True, it will be a cultural, nope, a lifestyle shock or something far worse that would shake the person down to the core and lead him/her either to repentance or to be angry further with GOD. We pray that ultimately it will lead the person to have a right relationship with GOD (cause that differentiates someone who was not called all along). Grateful to GOD for His direction on a picture that took more than 2 hours to search (for a right pig backround). Our sin is like a a mud, so hideous and only the Triune GOD can clean it completely. Pagpalain po kayo at sa kanilang pamilya! Out of respect, Filipinos refer to the third person to indicate possession.
Ready, prepared (in my point of view), and thanking GOD that He will protect us all, wherever we are in GOD’s earth, Crissy. We all pray to GOD because He alone can secure us all from what comes next. Tambien Crissy, good evening! A blessed Fryday🐠🐟 ahead after tomorrow! 🙂

What a humble place to be feeding pigs as a Jewish person! Sometimes God allows someone to go really down in order to see their need for Jesus

Many times God has to let us hit rock bottom before we learn our lesson and run to Him in repentance.
