In the beginning, God

One of the young men in our Sunday morning "Splash" sessions ask me this question. "If in the beginning there was nothing, how could God exist? How can I get me head around the fact that God always was there...but at the same time there was nothing?" I told him we need to investigate this question...

I have looked to the Bible as my first source and then I will seek the wise consul of others on my quest for an answer or maybe help lead this young seeker like all of us to a place where God himself can help reveal the fact that He loves us as His children and wants us to seek Him always.

So I seek to help and pray. Lord show me how to help, use me as your tool.

The Bible and I know the Holy Spirit, lead me to some important facts. First there is only one true God of the universe and he is the creator and sustainer of all things. Genesis 1.1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Hebrews 11:3 states, "By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." So God created something from nothing. This is a hard one for an 11 year old and many others to understand that fact.

I am one of God's miracles, my life and testimony is proof to this and I know God does amazing things for us every second of everyday. He drives the "Love Story", pursuing us as His children always.

So if anyone can help us in our seeking the Truth, please comment. Faith, part of the free gift from God with His amazing Grace helps us understand that "in the beginning, God" is the truth and I pray that this young man finds what he is seeking...his Farther in heaven.

Keep Seeking....

Nicaragua Mission Trip - WOW

Team,

I wanted to say thank you to all of you and thank you for the effort put forth before, during and now after our journey together to Nicaragua. The power of the Holy Spirit and the way we all had to trust in our Lord and Savior to provide whatever was need at the exact time He wanted was obvious all during last week. The memories of the earth burning at the dump, smells, kid running around with little to no clothes, faith in Jesus everyday no matter what, joy of the children at the orphanages, playing games, building a home, giving freely, sharing everything, Tom's stories, kids faces at the schools, singing and worship....dance, the horror of the hospital, skinny dogs, lives suffering on the streets and in the jail, hearts of stone, pain, needs, suffering. Through it all we kept asking God "what do you want me to do next" and how wonderfully indescribable is His LOVE for us all.

I pray now that you all continue to stoke the fire that is burning inside us all and to listen and ask God "what next does your will have me do", the need is great but our God is greater as we all were so very bless to experience last week...Oh how HE Loves us!!!

Spark a fire in someone else today! God made it so easy for us in Nicaragua but I bet if we keep our focus on the love of Jesus in Stuart, Jensen Beach, PLS and wherever you live, you can find His opportunity to serve again.

I love you all!!! You are amazing gifts from God.

Blessing from your Brother in Christ,

Alberto
