I believe in these times we as children on Christ need to hold fast to our faith. There is so much evil that has been done to us, that surrounds us it is a wonder at times how some hold on. You can pick up any news paper, magazine, or turn on any channel and see sin all around us. Funny how when we walked in darkness I know for me I could care less who shot who. I must admit I really did not have much regard for people unless it affected me personally. Its obvious how the devil blinds you to others peoples hurt. As long as you are blind you will never see the light of Jesus. Many times there is a total disregard for others feelings. I have to admit I was a mess. I ask God forgiveness for those I hurt. Now that God is the head of my life I see myself bringing much more Joy to peoples lives. I pray that I may up lift millions more than I chopped down. I take responsibility for my actions But, some of it was a learned behavior from "the church folks" that's right I said it. I am by No means trying to point the finger but the truth is the light and I would rather tell the truth than cover it up with a lie. Which brings me to the topic of children. Children are so innocent when they are young they have know clue to certain hate, prejudice, murder in essence Sin. I remember when my older brother did something that was not so nice and my little boy said" Mommy why don't uncle Bobby just stop" he said it with such a innocence in his little heart he really thought that it was that simple just to tell a grown man to just stop his behavior. How I wish life was just that simple. How I wish I could tell my heavenly father " okay lord enough playing around send my Lexus heaven mobile and come get me". Okay it does not have to be a Lexus I would settle for a 2006 Honda accord! Okay I would rather just have you Now please hurry up I am tired o f living down here. Which brings me to the scripture St. Luke 18:17 Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. To top it off I will end with Patience we as children Of God have to wait on our savior. We are not the savior he is and it is in his time not ours. Our faith and Patience in the lord Our god will save us hold fast to your patience, and hold faster to your faith.
