Father God, let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
Let’s just say you wake up to a baby crying. You have to get up and take care of that baby because the baby cannot do what you do to take care of it.
Say you have dogs with 4 running paws, and they want to get you up to let them out because they cannot reach the door handle. All this time in doing so it’s like God why do I have to get woke up? This is a gift from God to you. All the stuff we do in this life is like I need 4 feet. So, what about those people who don’t have hands or feet. God is with us all good or bad. God is our hands and feet and when we don’t have these. God guides others in our lives to help us and encourage us. I have heard others say: Well, my friends do more for me than my own family. God don’t expect us to be Him. God don’t expect us to do it all. Man wants others to do it all while man complains wrongfully. God gave us all a mind to do what is right and giving. He didn’t give us this mind to take advantage of others goodness.
God knows everything about you, and he always sees.
Notice that many names for God include “El.” El typically refers to God. But Roi brings another attribute of our Lord to the equation. El Roi means “The God who sees me.”Ro’iy in the original Hebrew can be translated as shepherd, or as seeing, looking, or gazing. In other words, when we feel most invisible and forgotten by everyone else, we can remember that God does see us.
In Genesis 16 an Egyptian servant named Hagar encounters hard times and learns an invaluable lesson that God is the God who sees. He knows our situation, and He is in control and trustworthy. Sheep are a prey animal. When they are faced with danger, their natural instinct is to flee not fight. We should be like sheep and flee from sin.
It reads in Jeremiah 16:17-18 “I see everything they do. They cannot hide from me the things they do; their sin is not hidden from my eyes. I will pay back the people of Judah twice for every one of their sins, because they have made my land unclean.
I was in the hospital in 2002. I felt like I had no hands or feet or voice. I felt God was punishing me for turning someone into the police for hurting someone else. I had no one I felt cared but God and the nurses and staff. When I came to it was not the day that this episode happened. It was a day unknown to me. But I felt that the person I was screaming at because he felt that what I did was not justified. By turning that person in. He had to take matters in his own hands and tell a lie that he saw the person that hurt someone else and say in court that that person didn’t hurt no one. When I was the one that saw everything happen.
It reads in Titus 1:16, ~ They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Fake Christians sin on purpose saying, “I’ll just repent later” and disobey God’s teachings.
This was very hard for me to forgive these persons. As time went on this same criminal beat on his own father and the person who stopped the beating 4 times, and his father didn’t turn him in to the police. years later I heard this same guy on the phone beat up his own wife and I couldn’t stop it. I messaged my friend on Facebook. Told him what was happening and to call the police for them to go to this woman’s house. This guy ended up in jail finally. By the grace of God. Justice was served. But was it? God knows and He deals with people accordingly in due time.
It reads in Matthew 12:31-32, ~ And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age
Thing is I didn’t realize I had four feet and 2 minds working in my favor. What I really needed was to connect with the mind of Christ in this situation. God gave me this powerful mind as a gift. I should have let go and let God instead of overworking myself. I forgot that God had been right in the center of it all. That I didn’t have to be worried and get upset and I made the choice to get upset without confronting God first. I can’t take getting upset back at this point and changing the clock back. What was done was done. I had to forgive for my sake.
Here is an idea! If you are feeling crafty or you just want something worthwhile to do, try making a flower pen! Flower pens can be used at a baby or bridal showers, birthday parties or give them away as gifts. Just saying! You can give your regular writing techniques a spirit booster. You can take them and bring joy to others’ lives. You can use fake flowers or duct tape; flower pens are a great way to let your creativity blossom. I know cause when I was in the hospital my sister Rae was making me a bouquet of flowers so I could be creative as she was creative in making them. Think about this for a minute. You see this flower pen? It is 20 years old and has many times been used by my hands and used many ways. I write with it. Fake flowers are temporary. If you take and do this to a living cut flower it will die, because it is only temporarily alive. It can stay strong under the pressure of the tape, but the air flow is cut off. It has to be natural and live its life without stress. If the live flowers are living outside in the ground, they can have the old flowers snipped off and watch new ones grow. When you snip off the old flowers there are dried up seeds that can grow more. God takes our sins and snips them at the dead bud, and we can grow beautiful with Him. The old is buried with Christ and the new has come alive.
God creates us by molding us and letting us be His children. Think about this for a minute. These fake pens have been dusted off, moved to different locations in our home. put in different vases at different times to look good in different surroundings. They have visited funeral sessions, baby showers and just in other hands but always have made their way back in the vase. I have written many things, grocery lists, important things like doctor appointments etc. See these flowers was made by my sister. She picked long lasting pens. She didn’t know they would last these 20 years and still write for me. God knew! But when the pens finally die the flowers still look pretty washed or dusted off but won’t last forever.
(Let’s Pray)
Father God, I thank You and praise You for walking with us in all things that matter most to You, that is Your children. Assist us in giving up our fears, stress’ and anxieties and give ourselves fully to You in all we say and do. Let us forgive quick as You have forgiven us. If there is anyone out there with doubts, denial or just don’t know You and want to get to know You better. Let them pray this prayer with me. Lord, it is my desire to be forgiven of my sins. come into my heart and guide me Your way. I make You my Lord and savior in Jesus Name Amen, if you prayed this prayer Jesus came into your heart. Ask God to guide you to church family who are all taking the same path.
“Power verses”
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans 10:9-10
