Good morning! How are we faithing? Knowing God is not a matter of speaking the right words. Knowing God is not a matter of acting pious. Knowing God is not praying for a certain amount of time or in a certain place. Knowing God is a matter of relationship with him. Knowing God is a matter of loving him because he first loved you as you are. Knowing God is realizing his grace for you is complete and his love for you so huge that in order that he can connect with you he had to send his son for the connection to him. I don't know why it is that way or how this whole spiritual thing with God is designed but I do know what it is. We are searching for truth and genuine love from everything in the world and all we find is heartache and pain. We keep waiting for utopia to appear and are depressed when it doesn't. It's time to face reality and get up off our keesters and enjoy and show that love that would cause a God to send his son so he could be with you. Lets start by letting religion be what it is. A family of like minded believers who's mission is to prop each other up to live as God wants us to, full of joy, peace, and a sense of contentment in the love that transcends time and this world. Do you want this? Jesus the Christ is how this happens.
Rom 3:19-26
Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished- he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
NIV
Rom 5:9-11
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
NIV
Remember Mothers Day Sunday...remember Tiffany Duvall...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for you love that saved someone as lost as me. Forgive my sins and cleans my heart. Speak to me constantly and open my mind to your scriptures. Whatever is true and real, open the eyes of my heart. Let me receive your blessings. Teach me to love as you do. Show me wisdom and courage to walk upright and holy. Bless those people hurting. In Jesus name. amen
