How we treat our Parents

I have set and been contiplating about a letter I received this week. When I first read the letter I was very hurt. Then I became mad, and then I became anxious now Jesus is working on my heart. This person chewed me up and down one side and another. First asking me did I forget about my mother duties. Then on the next paragraph begging me for something. First of all this person did not know the situation going on at my house. The next thing they don't know my finacial abilities. They just wanted what they wanted, and didn't care. At whose cost it would be.

As I have had a few days to thing about this. It makes me wonder how I treat God. I know there have been things in my life that I have told God you knew this and why did you let this happen. Why didn't you do this instead, you allowed this to happen instead. Then sometimes I just don't praise him enough or thank him enough. Or I think I am to busy, sitting crocheting or sewing something listening to the t.v. Like how long does it take for someone to say God I thank you for me waking up this morning and oh yes, God please take care of these people.That is all it takes. So see I need to see how I treat God. After all he is my heavenly FATHER.

Jesus is Love

Well thank God he is still the God of all things. Went to bible study this morning after last wednesday. And it was just like nothing had happened. Thank you Lord for being in control.

We are studying James. Wow now if you think you have it conquered. Well think again ,cause James let's me know I have so much to work on. My tongue my faith and love for one another. I know one thing when I read God's word I am accountable for what I read. I am also judged for my works. So if I read about love and faith and doing nothing, everything I have read and striving for is dead. Wow take a second to think about that. God wants us to bring others into his kingdom that they will give their hearts to God. But as I read alot of the scriptures he is talking to us christians to do what is right in his eyes. I was reading this week that God was talking to the sheep and the goats. Sheep on one side and the goats on the other side. He told the sheep they could enter. The goats could not they would burn. They had no works to go along with their faith. Faith without works is dead. Jesus means so much to me. LOVE is what JESUS MEANS TO ME.

Lord let me see others hurt and needs. And to pray and love them. To put the flesh out of the way. And let the spirit of God take control.

Lord forgive me help me to be open to you.
In Jesus name Amen

Jesus is our Goal

I belong to a bible study group on Wednesdays. And I absolutely love it. We are studying on James. Wow if you think you have it down pat. Do this study, you will find out you don't. There has been a subject that I felt like we didn't touch and that was politics. Well it came out today at Bible study. Not only about that but about homosexuality. One person thought this way, and another person told what the bible said about it. Well that really trickered things off in away. One person was hurt cause she had an opinion that was the truth, and she thought she made the other person upset with her. And so on. But the neat thing about it all. Is that God stayed in control. Sometimes when we open the bible up and start studying God's word. And it hurts or goes against how we feel about something, we don't count the cost on that issue. I said in the group today, wait there is one thing we have in common and that is JESUS. We have to remember that. Without Jesus in our heart we have nothing. And the only place were going is to hell.

God Bless
