Forgiveness

Today, I have had plenty of time to think.

We have a hard time letting go of things that have come between us. We hold grudges and we hold onto the wrong things. I want to take you back many years ago, before I was born, before my parents were born. Way back when there were no cars or even phones.

The time I want to take you back is when Jesus walked the earth. When it was time for Him to die, people turned there backs on Him, because they didn't want to acknowledge that they knew Him, they wanted to act like He was not there friend. Even the crowds that once surrounded Him to listen to Him teach was now surrounding Him and spitting on Him, throwing things at Him, calling Him names and do you know what He did? He forgave them all. He didn't call them names, He loved them the very same as the day He spoke to them.

We hold onto things like it will remind us of how the people were, but we are called to forgive, but why don't we? Could you imagine being Jesus? Could you forgive all the people that spit on Him, that hung Him on a cross? He did.

Our lives are filled with hate and lies, we call people names, but isn't it time that we start living in truth, honor and being husbands, wives, kids that when we see Jesus we will be proud of our actions instead of hiding behind all the lies that we spoke. It is time for honesty, forgiveness and truth. No longer living in lies or regrets. Start living today for not ourselves, but someone much greater then us.

I am not perfect, in fact my life has been filled with lies and wrongs, but it is about forgiving myself for them and asking God to forgive me for those actions as well. It is time to step up and see that God has a plan for our lives. If this is hard to hear, it is time to ask why.

Our lives

I have written over a hundred of these blogs. Some of them about my life, some of them about my choices or life choices. I have changed from not mentioning God, to mentioning God. Maybe you might have wondered why, I want to share that with you.

I wanted to reach the ones that may not read it because I mentioned God, who might ask me who has changed me or why I made the change I made. But for the people searching for answers, they aren't as likely to write to me and ask me about the truth of what I talk about. Just the same each day we walk around being who we are, if we don't reach out to the hurting souls, they will not know. They may have not heard, or they may have turned there back on God a long time ago. I sensed that I could make this blog seem generic and cover all the bases of what God is doing in me and through me without mentioning His name, but He need to the glory and the honor to where I find myself today. It is only through Him, He is the only answer. No man can bring you hope and peace that will last, He is the only. It is written He is the way the truth and the light. And then it is written the truth will set us free. So Jesus will set us free. He is the truth you seek, stop looking under rocks and see that He is the answer to your wish/prayers. He is with you and He can be closer then a brother, deeper then a parent and He will help you, but first you need to ask Him.

It is written, believe that Jesus Christ is our savior and Lord and you will be saved. He loves you and you can repent (turn 180 degrees) from your wicked ways and humble ourselves before Him that He will save us from our ways. He will love you like no other and He will be there to be with you. There is no person that has sinned to big for Him to forgive.

Today on my way into work I was reminded that He is the painter of the skies, that the pinks and purples will be splashed around and that He is the only way to the truth that we seek. Turn from your wicked ways and humble yourselves and praise His holy name. He is the only way to eternal life and wholeness.

Lies of Christians: I caution you, these are lies from the pit of hell.

1. If I am a Christian I can keep sinning because I can ask forgiveness for my sins and He will forgive me for them. What is repentance? (turning from our sins and not doing them again.)
2. I don't have to read the bible because it doesn't apply to me these days. The bible is a story of the life of men a long time ago. If you look at Peter, he doubted Jesus, but wanted to serve Him. Look at his life and compare it to yours.

There are more and when they come to me I will add them. But the bottom line is Jesus has made a place for us in heaven. He will come to judge the living and the dead. When that day happens, whether I am living or dead, I want to make sure that my heart is/was serving Him with all that I am, for I can do all things for Christ strengthens me.

What lies have you heard? Or what do you believe that can keep you from being set free? My e-mail address is listed in here, I would like to share the truth with you, please write me.

Are you ready???

If Jesus was coming back tomorrow what would you do differently?

Isn't it time to make a change, don't wait, do you know when He is coming back? I don't, but it could be sooner then we think. Don't give up and think you aren't worth it, because today is a new day and it can start with you giving your life to Jesus Christ. He came to the world once, what makes you think He isn't coming back? Isn't it time to change before it is to late. Our world is falling apart, it is decaying before our eyes. If you look at what is acceptable now, it sure has changed in the last 30 years. Families falling apart, marriages ending, economic state of America is in decay, wars and rumors of wars increasing, earth quakes on a steady rise, floods happening more now then before. Look at the amount of tornadoes in the mid west in the last year it has also increased. We are seeing a change in global weather, but they say global warming and many other reasons. Don't turn a blind eye, isn't it time to get your life right? Don't wait, today is the only day you know for sure you have. Change starts with you.
