I See You

 We often see just the sins of people. We see their sins ripple effects of pain and heartache impact others. We shake our heads or cross the street to avoid their presence. 

When we know our own dark thoughts. The chains that bind our dreams in darkness. The weights that burden our hearts. The hurts and pains that plague our lives.

Those are different right? We are different than that other person. At least we don't (fill in the blank) when we hurt or our ripple effects are different. 

Careful lest we say, " ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. ‘I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ (Luke 18:11-12). 

We know not what weaknesses others survive and overcome just to have their feet hit the floor when the sun rises. We know not the burdens and self-talk that plague their lives. We know not what holes are in their hearts that are keeping them from being whole. 

Let us be wise and all say, "‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ (Luke 18:13).

Sin is an outward sign of an inward issue, a heart problem. Sin is a worldly solution to a spiritual sickness. Sin is the flesh's attempt at self-healing. 

We are all the same, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Romans 3:23). Let us embrace the salve of Christ's grace as He has prescribed it to the sin-sick as the Great Physician (Romans 3:22-26; Romans 6:16,17, 23; Luke 5:31-32; Isaiah 53:5). 

May we all take the free gift and rise in newness of life. Living no longer as slaves of the flesh but by faith in the Son of God who has loved us and given Himself for us. May we live no longer to ourselves but let Chris live in us. May we all boldly hold tight to the Lord for the renewing of our spirit, the healing of our inmost man, and the salvation of our souls. (Romans 6:1-7; Galatians 2:20; Psalm 51:10; Romans 6:17-23). 

Let us only judge as far as to see the lack of and the need for Christ. Then give the grace and truth that Jesus brought to that soul so that they, too, may be partakers of eternal life with us. ( John 1:17; 14:6; Acts 4:12; Hebrews 3:12-15; 2 Peter 1:2-4)

I see you as I see myself. I need Christ and so do you. Let us go before Him together, seeking only that which He can give, true spiritual healing and eternal life. Will you go with me?

Faith

         Faith is something that we often have issues with for one simple reason; it’s invisible. The word itself does not mean a tangible object that the five senses can detect. However, it is made up of the hope of eternal life and the evidence of God and His work. 1 I truly think this is the crux of the matter on faith. To many souls believe faith is something else. It is treated like a mythical creature that can only be witnessed by a few. It is presented like a lore that has no real root and no true evidence. It is handled flippantly. It is talked about frequently with no substance. Everyone is an expert on faith, but few truly understand it nor have it.      Faith is made up of someone's hope of eternal life. First, you must believe in the very thing that holds the keys to immortality, God. Christ made it clear that those who believe will be saved. 2 You have to believe God created a plan to save man in Christ from the beginning ...

The Unselfish Heart and Liberal Hands

“Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.” Acts 2:44-45 There was an old woman who lived in a home by herself.   She was able and in her right mind.   She would wake up every morning and pray.   She always prayed for everyone, even her grocery list.   She knew everything she had was a blessing from God.   The kicker here is she lived next to a faithless man. He would wake up every morning and hear this old lady pray. After some time he grew indignant with her mindless praying so he said “I’m going to get her good.”   Knowing she always prayed for her groceries he woke up early one morning and jotted her list down as she prayed. He slipped out the door and bought the best of every item.   He neatly placed them in a basket and set them at her front door. He then rang the door bell and ran. Hiding in the bushes he saw her come out and...
