Helping the Lord

This was a letter to a neighbor who said i was holier then thou. The thing was i was in prayer at the time in writing this. so i guess in a since it is a blessing she said that.

It seems were very different, thanks be to the Lord for creating individuality and free will. For all of our differences the Lord loves each and everyone of us for who and what we can become by His grace which He imparted unto us; freely given.
In the matter of your mom, I pray that by God grace I don’t yet again offend you. I know we or those of us who know the Jesus would exchange our lives for the ones we love if we but could. But in this thought we could help do our part in saving them. For the Lord does call on us to help those in need. To feed the hungry, to cloth the poor, and to give water to those who thirst. This is one of the most blessed things we are called to do by our Lord, the one and true Christ, Jesus; Is to help bless those that He places before us. For through us, He will bless others. Using us as His tool in the helping for the salvation of our brothers and sister, our cousins and friends, and even the neighbor who we may not know; and even those most dear to us, our husbands and wife’s, our sons and daughters, and our dads and mothers. We don’t go through this walk alone, for He is willing and able to walk with us, to lead the way; show us our steps to take. To call us to walk with Him, to show us His burdens, that of His children, He places these on our heart also; In doing so we sometimes feel the want to exchange our lives in place of those in pain. But this He has already done, for He bore the sins of this world on Himself, and placed it at the cross. We in our very nature could not accomplish such and act. We can no longer take the pain that sin causes; then we can live another’s life. Only our Lord and Savior can and has done this. But our lot in this sharing of one another’s grief it to point out to other’s our Savior. To help those that sin has and is destroying. To remind them and uplift them that what they feel our Lord is feeling also. Nothing touches His children that He is not experiencing also. For nothing comes to the Father unless by the way of His Son, as nothing comes to us, unless by way of the Son. He shares in our grief’s our sorrows and our pain as well in our joy. If we but allow Him in our hearts, in our minds. So in this time of need of your mother, remind her that our Lord is standing right there beside her, And is sharing with her what she is going through. That she is not alone, for there is a God in heaven. One who’s love is unceasing and boundless; and He is walking with Her and will even carry Her in those times ……….. she is not alone, for all of us, all the of God’s children know the causes of sin in this world. My heart goes out to your mother, so say my prayers and to yourself, that you may also be strength in time of need. May the Lord bless you both and bestow upon you His peace.

but she never took the time to get to know me. for those who read this, take the time to know others, before you judge them. just becuz there different, does not make them a child of God. they just may see things in a different light.

What does the Cross mean to you?

In talking with a few friends, and sharing with each other the ups and downs of life in this world. I come to realize the cross means so much more then Jesus dieing for our sins. There is a far greater meaning then the pain and suffering our Lord went though, because of the "WHY" speaks of the heart of God. The depth of "WHY" is beyond comprehension, beyond all understanding. That thought alone covers such a vast amount of ideas and meaning. And to those who have thought about it, meditated on it. allowed its meaning to be apart of them. So share "WHY" u came to the came to the cross. I haven't read all of Mrs White wittings, or other men and women of God, but I'm not asking of them what they think, I'm ask YOU dear reader "WHAT" it means to you. Please don't copy and past their words but put yours down. And what you say may bring understanding and some relief to those search for an answers to life's problems. To help them see the cross in a different light. Of my own experience, anger was an issue. I do allot of driving and seeing others drive the way they do irritates me, gets me upset. I have done some stupid moves because of allowing that beast "anger" control my actions. And it was brought to my attention, didn't our Lord Jesus die because of anger. Wasn't that one of the emotions which drove men (ME) crazy to do harm to others? And allowing that thought, that emotion, "Anger" rule my life, is saying, "Jesus what you did on the cross does not cover this anger issue that I have." And that is so wrong, isn't it? He died because of it; to remove that sin from our lives. And to hang on to any sin is telling God that His Son's death meant nothing. And we as adventist, as children of God, we know that the death of Jesus was not in vain. But in a since thats what i was saying when i gave into "Anger". So please share why you came to the cross and what has it done in your life.

You ever lost a friend and felt you would never see them again?

Lord what do you feel when one of your friends is no longer around? What will you do to see them again? What does loneliness feel like to you? Can you as a God feel despair, is there a time when You become depressed? Hmmmm Lord ……………my King…………… how do you deal with that? Whom do you share with, Your thoughts, your feelings, Your happiness with? Were does Your comfort come from, when Your down? Do You need comfort? Who do you share Your laughter with? Is there anyone there to give you that touch we as humans need? Or do You need that Yahweh ………my Father? Did you not create us for Your pleasure? To share with You, Your thoughts, Your heart, Your will? Like wise for us to share with You?

my Father, I meet a friend today. Through them I know I have received a wonderful blessing from you; a blessing of unconditional friendship. Even though we didn’t see eye to eye, we did agree; even though we got irritated at times, we over came, and when we didn’t understand, we became patient and figured it out. We shared ourselves, our thoughts, our emotions, our heart, and our minds with out condemning or criticizing on another. We over looked each others faulted charter and seen You standing there looking back at us.

Lord, were you my friend? Was my friend ……………You? Was it You who I was sharing my thoughts with, my heart, my mind? Was I listening to Your heart, Your mind? Were You whom that talked with me? Lord, my God, my King, my Best friend it was You who I meet today. It was You in the eyes of my friend. You are apart of my friend, and my friend is You Lord.

I thought I was going to loose you my friend, but friend as you are apart of my Lord and if I abide in Him, I will always have you as my friend, and my sister, my brother.
