Becomeing like Christ. What does that really mean? Sitting down with the alchololic, drug additic and sinners. Bring them to church. The church sends money to the mission field, the homeless but they don't want them in the church or sitting beside them. It is time as V
Forgiveness is for the one forgiving. Carrying around bitterness and unforgiveness can get too heavy to bear. God commands us to forgive for how can he forgive us if we have not forgiven others. Bitterness and hate makes us old wrinlked and ugly.I have seen people that have carried the bitterness for years that looked years beyond thier age. The second they forgave it was like years were wiped off thier face.
I have also seen as a nurse the ones that were dying without the Lord and forgiveness fight a terrible death. They were scared of the unknown . The patients that really knew God had a peaceful expression on thier face. I believe they were able to see face of Jesus and into heaven. One night I had a beloved man and his family singing gospel songs and praying as he was dying. I asked them if I could pray for him. As I did I felt the presence of the Lord in that room. As I walked back up the hall I felt. hugh presence behind me they were like 10 feet tall.One was on each side of me. It almost brought to my knees. I went into an empty room and cryed. There isn't anything anyone has done to you that can not be forgiven. You have been forgiven of many sins the same as what that one that is asking for forgiveness. Look at it as a free makeover. love all of you. We must constantly seek the face of God. I found out that gives me the peace I need everyday every minute .Knowing him personally is what he wants from us. Not just a passing aquantance. He is my best friend that I talk to all day. It is like I am constantly texting him . My mind stays on him. I want to please him in every way.
If we seek first the kingdom of God he will give us the desires of our heart. We must first seek his will for our life. Sometimes what we are asking for isn't for our good or his plan. I want his will in my life for everything . I pray for all of you the peace of God and his blessings. |
