Inspiration can put the wind in our sails. When we feel inspired, things start to happen. Projects get done, books get written and babies are conceived. At times we might be the ones who inspire someone else. A kind word at the right time can change a person’s perspective. An honest smile will bring a warm sense of being accepted.
Have you wanted to be inspired? Have you been bogged down with the ‘hum drums’ and can’t see the forest through the trees? Need some inspiration?  Love?  Acceptance?
Regardless of your position in life, your financial circumstances, relationships and state of mental awareness, inspiration and acceptance are not beyond your reach. If you yearn so desperately to be accepted by others, or to finish something you’ve started, remember, you’re never alone.
God will never leave you nor forsake you.
God, who started a great work in you, will finish it.
God also smiles upon those who love him, and he gives gifts and blessings.
God is a loving God.
He will lavish upon you all that is good and just.
Romans 5:6
Christ arrives right on time to make this happen. He didn't, and doesn't, wait for us to get ready. He presented himself for this sacrificial death when we were far too weak and rebellious to do anything to get ourselves ready. And even if we hadn't been so weak, we wouldn't have known what to do anyway. We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.

About Me

My photo
Life. Life goes on whether you jump on board or not. It's like a big ship, either you stay on deck, learn to swim, grab a life jacket or become fish food. I choose to grab the life jacket. If I jump on board, then I will want to follow the crowd from fear of being tossed overboard. If I learn to swim, eventually I'll become tired and start to sink to my death. AND no one wants to be fish food!! Let's face it, after being in the water a while, you'll become all soggy and start to smell. And who's going to hand you a life jacket then? That shark that's circling you waiting for you to take your last breath and sink. SO.....I choose the life jacket. I can't do it all myself and I need help and sometimes I'm not strong enough to do it (life) on my own. So I'm going to grab my life preserver and not let go!
