 How Important Is Forgiveness? My Story
ByDana|9 stars|15 comments|August 17, 2008 at 4:29pm|email it|176 reads
 

How important is forgiveness? 

It's the most important thing we could do!  Not just for ourselves, but for the other person.  It can speak volumes into someones life. To extend forgiveness could be extending Christ into their lives.

Imagine being hurt the deepest way possible (whatever that is for you), and you forgive.  WOW!  Now that is actions backed by POWER!  

I recently had something happen to me that hit me right in the deepest desire of my heart.  The first thing that came to my mind was forgiveness.  Why?  I saw what happened from a spiritual perspective and refused to look at it in the natural.  In other words, I saw it for what it was...an attack from the enemy to get me to shut up and shut down.  It was the lowest blow possible from the enemy...but that is just it...it was a plan of the enemy.  

Compassion for those who hurt me began to flow as I turned my eyes to the Father.  Sure, in the natural, tears were flowing.   But my heart began to become flooded with even more love for them.  Why?  Because God loves them. 

Do you get that?  No matter what someone does, God loves that person.  It does not matter what they do...He loves them.  It does not matter what they don't do...He loves them.  He love them just because.  He just loves.  

Will you forgive?

Luke 6:35-38;42
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." ... How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

 Cutting...Self Injury
ByDana|9 stars|31 comments|August 09, 2008 at 12:04am|email it|278 reads
 

 

Well, I sat up until wee hours working on this.  I couldn't stop working on it.  It is inspired by Plumb's song "Cut".  You can hear it here...or play the video below.

  http://www.myspace.com/plumb 

 I found myself getting away from my calling only to find my way back again with the creation of this picture.  

 This is for all those who are involved in self-injury.  Know that you are loved.  You are not alone.  You are not a failure.  You are not worthless.  You are not Fu**** up.  You are not unloved.  You are not trash.  You are not ugly.  You are not worthless.  

Did you hear me?  YOU ARE NOT ALONE!  

You are so beautiful.  You are a wonderful creation.  You were fearfully and wonderfully made. 

The God of this universe loves you.  His light makes the darkness flee.  He holds you in his hands.  There is life in his blood.  He poured that blood out for you.  Just for you!  Now the blood that you spill, He refills.  He wants to heal your heart!!!

 Elections 2008

Christians need to show up at the poles this year more than ever. The Bible teaches that we should persevere. Well, many of us are burnt out on trying to straighten out the mess our government is in. We are so close to political victory. We do not realize the nature of the present political atmosphere. It is not friendly toward the Christian faith. The Christian faith makes no quarter in calling all other religions, false. But legislation and acts of the courts are about to strip our right to proclaim our Saviour as the only way to God. Jesus Christ has changed lives one at a time through our churches and related ministries even in trying times. We must not throw in the towel at the last hour because the political balance against us is on the verge of getting their way. I confess that I don't know if there is anyone who can singlehandedly lead us out of this quagmire of sin and depravity that seems to be gaining control of our blessed country. If it is not too late, we need a national revival. We must reverse this trend in America to call good evil and evil good. This is exactly the kind of legislation that is afoot in Washington at this hour. The fairness legislation could make it illegal for Christians to call sin sin. The rights of homosexuals and the right of abortion seem to be looming on the horizon, even at the threshold of this election. I don't know if we realize it or not, but we are just one supreme court justice away from overturning Roe vs Wade, which gives the right to murder babies for the convenience of an immoral society.  I can't speak for God concerning His judgement on such a nation but I can't help but feel that His judgement has to be imminent if America decides to call evil good. Cursed is the nation that calls good evil and evil good. On the other hand. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD." 
One candidate has boldly and braggingly said that America is no longer a Christian nation but it is a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist,...Secular nation. Well, we have become increasingly secular and there are more Muslims and Buddhists and other religions in America and some of them are growing faster than the church. This has indeed become the "garden of the gods". This should serve as a rebuke to the church of God. He has brought the world to us and we have neglected His call to reach them with the gospel of Christ. Therefore they are growing in this once Christian nation. Are we a Christian nation? No we are not. Can we become one again? Only God knows. However we can begin to pray for a 'national revival'. We need to be revived lest God remove His hand of blessing. The only thing that holds back the fall od America is the hand of God. We need the hand of God on our nation now more than ever. The answer to our delima is not political only but it is also spiritual. Churchmen are apathetic about the condition of our country. The only thig that will save our nation is that lives be changed by the power of God. May we surrender to God and His Word and obey it. May we become informed responsible followers of Christ and be used of God to carry His message to the lost of America as well as to those around the world. Only God's hand can bring revival. Will you commit to spend time in prayer and be one of those that share the gospel of Jesus Christ daily to a lost and dying world.

 It's a bloody place!!!
ByDana|8 stars|26 comments|June 13, 2008 at 7:16am|email it|503 reads
 
We are in a world that is a bloody place.  War is all around us.  We are born into war.  We must fight for our very lives every day.  Are we willing to fight? 

"Our struggle is not against flesh and blood..."

"Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life."

Now that you know you are in a war, it's time to stand and fight and not back down.  Or will you sit back with a bowl of popcorn and watch the rest of us?

Will you take a stand for what is right or will you back down because you want people to like you?

Will you preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ or will you preach a different gospel?

Will  you protect those around you who have battle wounds or will you walk by hoping not to get your hands dirty?

Will you find those who have lost their way or will you watch them stumble around?

Will you sound the alarm or will you sit silently?

Ready or not...you are in war!

Descendants of Adam and Eve to Dana Harrell Ellis

NOTE: this is just a hobby and I do it for fun.  Please don't send any negative responses or anti-genealogy comments.  I thought it was cool that all my work payed off.  Some requested to see the line.  So I am posting it for that reason.  We all come from Adam...this is just one line to that link in my family. 

I've been doing my genealogy for 21 years and finally stuck gold! 
Here is the line for all those who have asked to see it. 
Check it out...King David, King Solomon, Abraham and some more good ones are in my direct line. 
Here are all my grandparents... 

(Each number is a generation.  The + is who they married.  136 Generation from Adam to me on this family line.)
