First of all He calls us His little children, how amazingly sweet is that? I am so glad that I am adopted into this family of God amen......for I can find nothing else like it on earth! Sin , now I have been working on in my own personal experiences on being angry and sinning not.... go figure right. What a challenge that is in itself for those of us who get easily offended or hurt, etc. etc. But thanks be to God that we have an advocate with the Father, when the accuser of the brethren comes and attacks us from all sides and my friends this happens. Especially to Christians... just because you get saved, walk an isle or whatever the case may be, puts a big ole red target on your back and the enemy of your soul knows right where it is! But guess what, Praise God !! We are overcomers, amen thanks to Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection ....need i say more. And as i continue to learn and find out that that old devil uses people close to us and even other church people, just like last night!! Or so i thought, my wife tells me that maybe he was just trying to make conversation with me? I don't know but I will most def pray about this sitch....... Jesus Christ the Righteous... Amen and thank God He is for as one of the songs we sing goes (no, not one) concerning us and there not being another friend like the lowly Jesus!! And it goes on to say before I go off on another tangent,lol that the whole world is covered and that to whosoever will may come.... red, yellow, black and white, even purple and bronze,lol can come to Him and drink of this living fountain that never runs dry..... Which makes me sad to think about that we not only have the best thing since sliced bread, but we have the maker of it! Amen Yes the inventor of everything that you and i know today is ready , able, and willing to give you the perfect slice of this bread...........not as the world sees it ,no,no, but only the best way that there is for His creation, after all Father knows best !!! but back to the story,lol-it makes me sad to think about how all this is laid out before people and they just don't get it, or don't won't it , or even just walk all over it! Did something or someone get or stand in there way of this King? Is it I Lord? Just as the 12 had asked right there in that upper room! Is it I Lord? Well that makes one want to examine there hearts doesn't it just a bit. To step back and see the bigger picture and or maybe trying to think what it's like from Almighty God's perspective? But to those who judge, condemn, or put down others, God Bless you!! Your Heavenly Father knows what you have need of far more than I do.... and thank God He does!! For in my human form it rubs me in the opposite direction to say these things like Bless you but I am so glad that Gods instruction book for us tells me that I am to obey and do this! And I gladly will for I know that this pleases the Lord! And in closing, as His child who's on this planet awaiting for the call to come on home, like a little child and who's sins are paid for and covered and under the Blood will keep on holding onto Gods unchanging hand !! No matter what others say!! Dear Lord, I thank you for this day of life, and for being my bread of life, May your Children be blessed today! Thank you for paying my sins debt!! Thank you for my Church family and yes even the dysfunctional ones , myself included. And if there be anyone who reads this post who does not know you in a personal way, I pray that today will be the day of their Salvation ! In Jesus name I pray, Amen ~S 2:1 My little children, I am writing this to you so that you may not sin; but if any one does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2:2 and he is the expiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. |
