Tell Me What You See Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. (John 14:9) Had one of the biggest scares of my life tonight...around 7:30 after dinner, Baylee wanted to help Ben feed our dog and she ran after him, tripped and hit her head on the corner of our sliding glass door...started bleeding instantly! We rushed her to TMH...had some awesome doctors and nurses take care of her, she has stitches in her tiny little forehead but she was such a trooper! Im so proud of her! And glad to report, she is doing great! Lord, today we just thank You for all Your mercies, goodness and kindness. In Jesus Name. Thank You for my dear Sister Marlas miraculous recovery from the hospital. Thank You for Grand-diva Baylees instant recovery after a fall that took many stitches in her little young forehead. Thank You for looking out for us all in ways we dont even know. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen. ..................................................................................................................... Should a man see only popularity, he becomes a mirror, reflecting whatever needs to be reflected to gain acceptance. Though in vogue, he is vague. Though in style, he is stodgy or old-fashion/dull. Personal convictions change with the seasons. Individual beliefs come in all colors, each for a different night of the week. Hes a puppet on a thousand strings. Hes a singer of a hundred songs, with no song of his own. His appearance changes to fit the setting so often that he forgets who he set out to be. He is everyone and no one. Should a man see only power, he becomes a wolf---prowling, hunting, and stalking the elusive game. Recognition is his prey and people are his prizes. His quest is endless. There is always another world to conquer or another person to control. As a result, he who sees only power is degraded to an animal, an insatiable scavenger, controlled not by a will from within but by lurings from without. Should a man see only pleasure, he becomes a carnival thrill-seeker, alive only in bright lights, wild rides, and titillating entertainment. With lustful fever he races from ride to ride, satisfying his insatiable passion for sensations only long enough to look for another ride. Ferris wheels of romance. Haunted houses of eroticism. Hammer rides of danger and excitement. Long after the crowd is gone he can still be found on the carnival grounds rummaging through empty boxes of popcorn and sticky cones that held the cotton candy. He is driven by passion, willing to sell his soul if need be for one more rush, one more race of the pulse, one more side show that will take him away from the real world of promises broken and commitments to keep. Listen. Seekers of popularity, power, and pleasure. The end result is the same: painful un-fulfillment. Tell me what you see! Only in seeing his Maker does a man truly become a man. For in seeing his Creator man catches a glimpse of what he was intended to be. He who would see his God would then see the reason for death and the purpose of time. Destiny? Tomorrow? Truth? All are questions within the reach of the man who knows his source. Tell me what you see! It is in seeing Jesus that a man sees his Source. Please listen: Beware of thirst for the wrong kind of pleasures; cut off wrong pleasures and replace them with the real pleasures of life. The test of an enjoyment is the remembrance which it leaves behind. Pleasure has three facets: anticipation, realization, remembrance. The true pleasures are almost innumerable. Relations and friends, conversation, books, music, poetry, art, exercise and rest, the beauty and variety of Nature, summer and winter, morning and evening, day and night, sunshine and storm, woods and fields, rivers and lakes and seas, animals and plants, trees and flowers, leaves and fruit, are but a few of them. Listen. Anything that makes one glow with pleasure is beyond money calculation. We live in a humdrum world where there is altogether too much grumbling and too little glowing. Your greatest pleasure is that which rebounds from hearts that you have made glad. You be blessed now, you hear! His Names Jesus Ministries & I. C. Music Corporation May you be blessed, Ric
