What doctors don't know...


Carly Thomas was born with a genetic disorder called Trisomy 18. The doctors painted a bleak picture of death and suffering for our little girl. They mentioned, "No quality of life, no smiles of recognition, vegetable like existence. These babies don't survive. They aren't compatible with life" they said.." A week a month at the most. Prepare for death, don't get too attached." What they didn't know was that Carly was a special creation. Psalm 139:14"... fearfully and wonderfully made marvellous are thy works and that my soul knoweth right well ." Not only did she live 11 years beyond her doctor prescribed expiration date, she smiled, interacted, expressed love and attained a quality of life many of us normal folks will never know. Though she couldn't feed herself, walk or talk , she was a perfect creation for God's purpose. Isa 43:7..." for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him, yea I have made him." Carly was a gift from God to all who knew her. Her beautiful smile and sweet spirit brought God's love and peace to tangibility . The contentment in Carly's presence was undeniable. She loved. She forgave. She waited. Created in God's own image so that we could know Him through her. God's purpose: to bring us to Him, that we might know Him and His plans for us. Plans to prosper us and give us eternal life with Him.

Fixed on Jesus

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
As children of God we must keep our gaze fixed on Jesus Christ. We are to abide in Him, Christ, as instructed in 1 John 2. If we abide we are able to walk worthy of the vocation to which we are called.  Christ will shine in us and will enable and empower us through the Holy Spirit to endure the circumstances He takes us through for His glory. It is when we look away from God's purpose and begin to search the circumstances that we begin to falter, doubt and fear.
" Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith"....focus, focus, focus !Fix your gaze on Jesus Christ. Matthew 6:22 For the light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
