After giving my life back to Christ I've found that his word is so much more evident in my life. The scripture has begun to live out through me. I am finding that through his word I am living out his will and actually living to be an example of his love. Today I heard some discouraging news. A friend of mine who had once battled cancer is facing a possible relapse. My initial thoughts were to pray for her and her husband. Then all of a sudden the lord is shining this bright neon light above my head with words that read "Faith without works is Dead." Wow! I continued to hear that in my head, repeating and repeating. Faith without works is dead. Ok Lord are trying to tell me something. Taking this in I sat and thought. I have always understood the meaning of this, yet now it was speaking something new to me. For the first time I realized that I can pray for this couple and request prayer for them. I can stand back and ask the lord to do a miracle and heal. Don't get me wrong all these things I should do. But he is telling me something different. He is saying "GO" go and share the love of the most high. Go and tell them about your God, the one who heals and restores. "Tell them about me" I hear the lord saying. My faith is not for me alone, it's for everyone I come in contact with, we are to go and preach the gosepl and share his love. This is where the works comes in. So often us as Christians tend to forget the "works" part of faith. Yes it is great to have faith, but what are we going to do with that faith. I need to step out in faith and do his will. What will you today today?
With Love,

- Hi Everyone! I am PinkPearl, aka Crystal. I am starting this blog to share with my friends and loved ones, just what the lord is speaking to me at different times. I want to encourage other believer's while encouraging myself. There is something about self-expression that has been my passion for a really long time. I love writing, sharing and telling people about the goodness of the lord. I have never done any blogging and am new to this whole thing, so bear with me please. Eventually I would like to start a Christian magazine targeting social aspects of Christians as well intergrating stories of people's lives. I want to know what matters to people, what we value and what drives us to go after our dreams. I look forward to blogging and hearing back from you all. With Love, Crys

Thanks for sharing Crystal. Yes, I agree, we are to pray but also put some action behind what we say. We have to walk our talk,to sort of say. We are not just to tell people about God's Love but we are suppose to or at least should share God's love in tangible ways with others. Meet them were their at, in the needs that they have. Learning to find common ground, as a place to start...
I love to see God's people emerging and growing in their relationship with God. I'm am so honored to be able to share that with you. I can't wait to see you develop into all that God has for you!!!
How exciting! Thank you!

Praise God for your willing heart and open ear, so that you may be able to hear what God is saying and put it into practice - that is the key..
Too many ppl. say they are christians but where is the fruit? Where is the Love? Where is the distinction in God's Children from the World?
Can't wait to read more...
