It's the little things in life that truly bring us joy. |
Many ask why does God "allow" bad things happen to good people. But maybe the question should really be why are there bad people?
That is a question that we can answer. We were all born as sinners, some of us have been fortunate in our life to have not only heard, but to have received the message of salvation, and accepting Christ into our lives. For those that who have not heard or accepted the truth, they are the ones that struggle with darkness, they are the ones who are not saved, they have hardened there hearts and have not allowed the saving grace of our savior, to fill them with the His Holy Spirit. These are the people we need to pray for. Praying for the saved who are sick, the financially broken, emotionally struggling and the list goes on is definitely something we should do. We should lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ, that is what the Christian family is suppose to do.
Matthew 5:44 .."love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you..."
Now not to sound cynical, but like my husbands doctor just told him, you can eat healthy, exercise do all the "right things", but in the end none of us get out of here alive. WOW, how true is that, so yes live your life with intent and purpose, but that purpose should ultimately be having that peaceful relationship with Christ that no earthly possession or person can fulfill.
By living in a constant walk with Christ, our mission field is all around us. We will be the light of the world, so be happy, smile, His saving grace is all we need. He will reveal to us what true happiness. Recently joy came to me seeing my first sunflower bloom, next was seeing the sunset on the way home from work. I share those things with co-workers and some say, "who has time to stop and look up at the sky?" I'm like who doesn't have time, our creator is sharing His most beautiful work of art, enjoy the gifts He has freely given us.
Those who's hearts are hardened who do not know the love of Christ, THAT IS WHO WE TRULY NEED TO PRAY FOR. They are lost and going to hell, so why would they care if they hurt others? They do not see the beauty in life. They have no faith in a living God. Yes, we pray for all of those suffering, but when we are sick and know Christ we are blessed with the peace of eternity, despite any turmoil our lives our in.
Luke 6:32.."if you love those who love you what credit do you have?....35 "but love your enemies, do good to them expecting nothing in return..."
Those filled with hate, those are the ones we really need to pray for, their minds have been brainwashed, their humanity stolen, the joy of a sunset none existent. Their lives are true tragedies, and will suffer for eternity, because they do not know the truth. Pray for the lost. Stand United in Faith. Love those around you and Hug all those you can, you never know if you will be the first and only glimmer of hope in someone life.
In Christ Precious Name I Pray.
Peace be with you all,
May we see His reflection despite the traffic in our lives |
