POSTED BY: CHRISTY WILKINS ~~~~~~~~~~~sorry legthy somewhat... just had a lot on my mind to say this morning~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Matthew 7:1-5 “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thy say to thy brother, Let me pull out thy mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” Ephesians 4:32 “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgivin you.” Matthew 6:14 “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” No matter how solid we think/know our spiritual ground is, we are still human, we may still feel an overwhelming desire at times to punish, or get even, with another person. We want revenge…. We want to see the other person hurt the way he/she has hurt us… We want to see life deal that person just rewards… In fact, we would like to help life out… Those are normal feelings, but WE DO NOT HAVE TO ACT ON THEM…. These feelings are a part of our anger but it’s not our job to deal justice… We can allow ourselves to feel the anger… It is helpful to go one step deeper and let ourselves feel the other feelings too… The hurt, the pain, the anguish… But our goal is to release the feelings and be finished with them… Don’t stew on them… We can hold the other person accountable… We can hold the other person responsible… But it is not our responsibility to be judge and jury… Actively seeking revenge will not help us… It will block us and hold us back from growing spiritually… Walk away… Stop playing the game… Unhook… Learn YOUR LESSON… Thank the other person for having taught you something valuable… And be finished with it… Put it behind, with the lesson intact… Acceptance helps… So does forgiveness… Not the kind that invites the other person to use us again, but a forgiveness that releases the other person and sets him/her free to walk a separate path, while releasing our anger and resentments… That sets us free to walk our own path with God… So detach with love and stop living in yesterday… Don’t worry about anything but pray about everything… Because no matter what we MUST MAKE IT TO HEAVEN… Prepare yourself for the coming of the Lord… The time is near… The choice is yours… However, the consequences remain the same, Heaven or Hell…. Where will you go if you were to die right now? Matthew 5:43-45 “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love the neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in Heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” I LOVE YOU FRIENDS AND FAMILY… PLEASE BE WISE AND GET TO KNOW GOD AS YOUR PRSONAL SAVIOR BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE… Todays’ special prayer request:Nathon Wilkins, Jessie Pitts, Jeff Smith, Michael ?, Carolyn Kelly, David Wilkins, Diane Griggs, Barbara & Billy McCarty, Amy Hutchesons Family, Lisa Brown & Family, Destiny & Emily & Charles Hall, Preston Sheffield, Anna Lucas & Family, Danny Spurr, Daniel & Emily Irwin, Krystal & Micheal Mcclain & Stephanie, Corey Mccarty, Diane & Sophia Msyah, Melinda Matteson, Ebony Harris & Family, Jordan Reichman, Kathleen Simmons, Mitzi Woodrow, Steve Crawley, Tammy & Lonnie Pannel, Amy & David Witcher & Family, Sarah & Brookelynn Tyler, Amy & Jason Umfress, Backsliders, The Lost.
