The art of Building Brigdes in our Lives !!

Lets start with the Definition of Bridge:

1a: a structure carrying a pathway or roadway over a depression or obstacle (such as a river) a bridge connecting the island to the mainland

b: a time, place, or means of connection or transition building a bridge between the two cultures the bridge from war to peace

I woke up at 3:30am this morning thinking about bridges.  I finally got up around 4 to see what God was trying to tell me.  Don’t think of me as super spiritual – it was just so clear to me I wanted to investigate what God was saying to me.

 I saw us as an island in the center of a body of water with bridges all around us to our environment.  We are all just individuals trying to relate to this world we live in.   I heard God say that the bridge to get anything we need in this world is faith.  We all have faith in something – I just want to encourage you to have faith in God. 

 Our faith can be a bridge from:

• Sin to Salvation

• From hating ourselves to loving who we are

• From a hopeless situation to hope in a better tomorrow

• From Loneliness to learning to Love others

• From living in a state of fear and unrest to living in a state of peace

• From not being sure of you future to security of an eternity in heaven

I see the bridge connecting us to the love of our Heavenly Father, believing that he loves us so much he wipes away all past sins.  The bridge of faith helps us to believe the Word of God – that it is a love story from God as well as an instructional manual for our lives.  That everything written in it is for us. 

Building bridges can be hard.  Civil and Structural Engineers have to go to school to study to learn the art of building these structures.  They often time have teams of people to handle the different parts of building safe bridges.  It took over 4 years to build the golden gate bridge and cost over 35 million dollars.  Eleven people lost their lives during construction. 

 Thankfully for us – building the bridges in our lives to connect us to all God has to offer only takes a yes.  That yes just has to be followed with trust and learning all that God has for us.  It can take time and we all can mess up – when that happens we just have to start again.  

Some scriptures on faith:
Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Luke 17:6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.

Romans 12:3 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Today I encourage you to use your faith – we have all been given a measure of faith (Romans 12:3) and get off the island you are living in.  Connect to all God has for you!!

I love you all
