Hello everyone,

Well I am starting this blog and I hope that this new adventure will be a blessing as well as insightful, healing and an avenue for us to share the love of God and His desire for us to be whole in Him.

I will be attempting this to be a link from my main website of www.totalrestorationinchrist.org or www.trinchrist.org or com. I had issues with my site template and the blog limits that it contained.

Today is a beautiful day in the Lord. When I think of where I have been and where the Lord has taken me so far. I believe that it is anything short of miraculous. For without His Grace and Mercy upon my life I would probable not be here due to self-destructive behavior or sheer stupidy. But God is good and he is faithful to those that love and seek Him. He also orchestrates things in our life for our good and bring us into relationship with Him even when we did not know Him. But he does desire a relationship with us. Often we only see God as what He can do for us but it is so much more. Do you know that when we are in relationship with others and show the Love of the Lord we are expressing our relationship and the identity that God is desiring us to walk in. It also is interaction with God. See God is all and in all. When we honor the Christ in others especially those that do not know they have Him within we are showing expressing our love to our heavenly Father. When we can reach out to others in theirs or our own pain in love we can do the miraculous. For it is not us but His light within us that draws the lost and hurting into His presence; drawing and bringing about a longing for a personal relationship with the Lord. Everything is relational and relevant in the Lord.

When the Lord said we would do greater works I think of the times and people during that day. The dysfunctionalism of the family unit, people in general such as emotional traumas, emotional and physical abuses, addictions etc were not at the magnitude as they are today and some may barely have existed if at all. The importance of a smile and a kind word is more valuable than silver or gold. To save a life out of your generosity and willingness to comfort, nurture, minister, counsel, to share the Good News of the resurrected Jesus is a greater work. The world is hurting and crying out. Share the love of the Lord that has been given to you so graciously be the greater work.

Share your insight, blessings given and received in this blog. I love you all.  Abundant life is ours because of His sacrifice and resurrection.  Be blessed, Pamela
