Maybe I woke up a little too late to appreciate God – but I’m so glad I did. Although this new path led me to a deeper gratitude with the divinity of Christ, I must admit to moments when my need for redemption was as clear as the inner voice that once whispered began to scream. In a real and beautiful way I am different in how wonderfully simple I now see life. Learning to trust in what is not tangible is difficult, yet necessary since the One who offers true, incorruptible life no longer awaits my decision. This heart has been claimed by the one who made it and I couldn’t be more grateful. It is this very gratitude that inspires me to further choose and invest my breath of encouragement for as long as I am able.
In Christ we rise.
Chris

Casting His nets, he called and “Drop your nets, come and follow Me, and I will make you Fishers of Men”. Keep fishing Brother, keep fishing………….Tim
Beautiful thought Tim… I’m getting used to this “fishing thing.” However, the only difference in fishing for sport and souls is this restless, sense of urgency – which will not finally rest until I rest with God. Paz, C
Awesome site, brother.
Thanks! Shine on!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! So glad you liked my recent post. Blessings to you on your spiritual journey 🙂
My pleasure. Press on!
Peace,
Chris
Keep pushing, keep writing, living and above all keep thinking. The power of a free-thinking mind is what will help with living in the Information Age. Simple, though not easy, to continually develop a renewed mind.
Thanks for the encouraging words Tenesee! Truly, a renewed mind is a beautiful lens to see the world.
Peace my friend,
Chris
Thanks for sharing your encouragment with us.
Only because I find Christ irresistable. Shine on!
Thanks for sharing your “conversion-feelings” with us.
Lets all stay in Christ alone! In Him is truth, purpose, goal, life, security and trust.

Amen!
Chris,
Thanks for stopping by to read my blog.
It is always encouraging to know people are interested in what stirs my heart as worthy of sharing.
I could have written these words. I know what you mean. I’m happy to have found your breath of encouragement!
Beautiful blog. I look forward to reading more. I am a late-late in life born again Christian. I give him the Glory everyday too.
…you are NEVER too late! 😉
Let’s just say it’s God’s perfect timing. Thank you for your kind words! Stay in touch!
He lives,
Chris
Chris I am speechless–well almost because I have to write these words. You are very intelligent and write with so much passion. I truly enjoyed reading your masterpieces because that is what your lyrics are to me. Your words really spoke to my heart and I just wish to thank you for giving me a reason to keep pressing on and never give up. Thank you
Is it a beautiful freedom to become transparent in a faith in which love knows no bounds? Truly it is love from indestructible life that draws us to communion with God, and it is that same love that leads our hearts outward into community. Thank you for your kind words! You are our gift from God Ria. You are His song. Sing!
Powerful words Chris! Thank you and you are our Gift.

Hi Chris
Thanks for the follow! How have you been and how’s your blog doing?
I don’t know if you know that I moved my blog to a self-hosted platform. This has prevented me from connecting with WordPress bloggers like I used to. I would still like to remain in contact with your blog. Do you have an RSS feed I can subscribe to?
If you would still like to follow my blog, may I add you to my mailing list? I send out one email per day with all the blogs posted for the day including blogging tips. You can also unsubscribe at any time if you feel you want to stop receiving the emails. If you are happy for me to subscribe you, please send me your email address.
Also, I created a blogger tips group to connect with all my long last WordPress blogger friends, and to help all of us to learn from each other. I would love for you to share your knowledge in the group and connect with other bloggers. Here’s the link:
