FORGIVENESS

 Forgiveness,  One of the most widely misunderstood doctrines of Scripture. It is not to be confused with humans forgiveness that merely remits a penalty or charge. Divine forgiveness is one of the most complicated and costly undertakings, demanding complete satisfaction to meet the demands of God's  outraged holiness.

I have a situaton in my life where I am having a hard time forgiving someone, my flesh tells me oh if you forgive him, it will be like you are letting him get away with all the nasty, uncaring, things he has done. But it was brought to my attention that that person didn't do all that stuff to my family he did it to God, and if God can forgive him, who am I not too. You see he doesn't care or even know how it effects me, he is going on about life with out a worry in the world. So right now I am forgiving him, and myself for holding on to this for so long. Because I need forgiveness  too.

Psalm 51 is all about forgiveness.  My favorite verse is 10-13

10:   Create in me a pure (clean) heart, God, and make my spirit right again ( renew a right/steadfast spirit in me)

11: Do not send me away from you or take your  Holy Spirit  away from me.

12: Give me back  (restore to me) the joy of your salvation (rescue). Keep me strong by giving (Sustain in) me a willing spirit. 

13: Then I will teach your ways to those who do wrong ongoing  (transgressions ), and sinners will turn back to you.

Eph. 4:32 Be kind and loving (compassionate, tender hearted ) to each other, and forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ.

In 1 John 1: 5-10, we receive  God's forgiveness  for our sins.

Thank you Lord for the forgiveness  of my sins, thank you that your Grace and Mercy is new every morning.

Lord I forgive everyone of everything, and I forgive myself.

I pray abundant blessings over you and yours today.

Remember  Jesus is just a whisper away.

And Jesus loves!

Shalom to your home

Till next time,

ANGER

 Welcome  back  I want to start today by apologizing for putting christians in the same think tank as me. "Be angry and do not sin" do not let the sun go done on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:31 Do any of you have issues with anger ? I DO, But I go to God in prayer with repentance  in my heart, ask for forgiveness, and strive to do better. My husband and I sometimes can't get over ourselves and go to bed with out resolving our issues. Then complain the next morning how lousy we slept. Our heavenly Father says in plain words don't go to bed angry!  Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, so speak to each other in love and kindness. It is amazing how simple a small gesture of kindness can change the course of someone's  day. Just like a smile or a good morning. In a world where there is so much hate, and discord, let's try spreading kindness. Remember the best vitamin for friendship is B1 God is so simple in His love for us.He just w

RECEIVING GOD'S LOVE

 I have learned that pain has purpose, which at the peak of excruciating discomfort, brings me little consolation.  Hindsight, though, has often proven pain's value. In fact, I have found pain to be one of life'so most effective teachers. It gains one's  full attention. It takes lessons down to the bottom line. ( Patsy Clairmont ) Our hearts respond to God's  love and mercy in individual  ways. God's  love may be changeless. , but our love for Him changes and deepens as we grow. Read Luke 7: 40-47. Take the time to consider just how long you have been loved. God knew you when you were small. He knew you before you were born. He knew  you before He'd  even created the first man and woman. He knew you before time had begun. And all that time He Loved You! Thank God for His love, that your life might reflect that love. DOUGHNUT: doughnuts are delicious, hot fresh right from the source. God is love, the source of love. Our love has limits, but, God's  love is pe

The Power of Prayer

 What is the Power of Prayer? "True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that--it is a spiritual transacton with the Creator of Heaven and Earth" (Charles Spurgeon). Just what is the Power of prayer? How does prayer comfort, heal, restore? Why do we pray for our spouses, children for protection. How can praying make an impact? How can it change lives of those who don't know Jesus? The answer is simple, In Matthew 18:18-20, Jesus tells us about the power of prayer. "Truly, I say to you whatever you  bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say to you,  if two or three of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or more are gathered in my name there I am among them." I think if we realized just how much power we have when we pray we would do it more often. It is our fiercest weapon ag
