Somethings in life I can not change and neither can you. We don't always have do overs or another chance at certain things. There is a choice daily you can make serving God and allowing him to guide your today. As I grow in God, it all began when I gave my heart to him. Looking at things different and one day at time changing.
John 3:16-20 New Living Translation (NLT)“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. 19 And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. 20 All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.
JUDGEMENT ~ Last night in our growth group, we began to talk about judgement. The difference between the Catholic Church and our church. Going into a booth to confess your sins and knowing that Jesus took our sin on the cross. The Bible speaks of confessing your sins one to another but I have found that is where judgement of people come in. Not everyone who says they are a christian, is a christian. Not everybody wants to help you, but hold things against. This is not the way of God, but the way of man. I have faced terrible situations of judgement and the people where wrong. I found myself fighting for my character and I knew that Jesus knew the truth. I'm just sharing a bit of this today because it's important if you have been judged wrong, know that God knows.
John 3:16 became so real in my life. Jesus came for me and he uses my life today. I had someone else me that they were glad I went through the hard stuff because you can feel realness when I speak. I speak from a place of brokenness and I allow God to speak through me. It's not easy at times for me. Just like last night, I spoke with confidence but then cried when I left the group. Facing the past brings back thoughts and yet freedom.
This is a new day and I want you to share a relationship with Jesus. A real friend and he cares about our today. Let today is good and stir up some hope inside of you. Share a smile and watch how life gets better as you get closer to Jesus. Throughout time there are people who shine and people who are mean. It continues on into a new generation and sometimes we can see things replay in our lives. Let us replay the confidence of Jesus and keep pressing forward. One day we will enter heaven and this race will be over on earth. While we are here, let us do our best daily to live in peace, love, faith and all good things.
My prayers continues for you, your family and friends.
