Love your enemies

This passage is so hard to digest, so hard for people to understand whetherless manifest it in their lives. These words are not just any words but words that come directly from the mouth of Jesus. He lived this example for us when He carried His cross and died. Not once did He get angry, not once did he try to stop what was being done even though at any second He could have. Instead He endured to the end and in His last words He asked the Lord to forgive the soldiers for what they were doing. He not only showed us how to love our enemies but He showed us how to pray for them too.

On the contrast society endorses hate. Constantly trying to keep people divided based on pigment color or even ethnicity, but that divide breeds so much anger, hatred which is the very opposite of what this scriptures says we are to manifest. Can't you see there is an enemy at work? His desire is to destroy lives, marriages, friendships, relationships- wanting to see a Son stand against the teaching of his father and mother, a daughter stand against anything that is pure and righteous. The battle is on!

We all must decided where we will stand,whether it be on the side of the Word of God or on the side of the enemy.

Just remember that in the end we will all stand before the throne of God!

My hope is that we will walk to see the glory of our Lord together. Singing praises to Him because this life is not the end just the beginning!

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
