Walking In His Shoes.......

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

[Be] kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.


SOMETIMES MY FEET GET TIRED WALKING IN LOVE..... DOES YOURS?
THANK GOODNESS FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD....... cause there are some days that I want to put on my old grubby flesh shoes and just not mess with some people... Does that make me bad.... NOPE... makes me human............
Thank you Lord for rising up in me and reminding me when dealing with people that hate me that I am called to love...........

Enjoy your Friday girls .................

Be Still --- He is Still In Control

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.

HE is the good Shepherd

Hiding in The Garden

Why do we do that? Why did they do that? It is not like HE does not know, or did not know. Of course HE did. The word of God tells us that Christ was crucified from the Foundations of the Earth........ 1 Peter 1 "18-20 God had a plan way back there...... HE knew they would sin. But they were foolish enough to think they could hide anything from HIM.
HE came to visit, but instead HE had to seek them out and then offer up the first sacrifice for their sin.
We still do that today, we still hide in our gardens of our busy lives going here and there and hiding among the jobs and the kids and the cleaning and the stuff, and when HE comes just to visit HE finds unrepentant sin that we think we have well hid.
Why do we think that because we are born again that we do not have the ability to sin, of course we do. If he took away the ability to hate, then there goes the ability to love. HE did not create us to control us like a marionette, HE created us with a choice. We choose to love and show mercy and be kind, BUT we have the ability to hate and treat others unkind, or have hateful thoughts or envy, jealousy, pride and the list goes on.
The ability is there and we sin everyday. It is attitude and the heart. So just because we are Christians does not mean that there is not going to be sin. We cannot hide from those feeling and when they rear their ugly heads we repent!
There is a situation in my life that some days the hate in me rises to the top and I struggle with the anger that it brings. Do I feel these things, yes I do.
When I feel anger rising I stop  where I stand and ask the Father God to PLEASE heal whatever it is that is within me that causes the anger and hatred to rise. I did not just want relief for the moment, I wanted healing for the reason.
HE knew, HE saw the hate and the anger, I did not hide in the garden, I faced HIM and asked for HIS help. HE is able, I am not. HE is GOD and I am fallible flesh.
I am born-again, spirit filled, on fire for God and I SIN..........
So I pray next time, which will most likely be today, when sin rises up in me for whatever reason I will not hide in the garden, I will repent so that when HE comes to walk and talk in the cool of the evening, there will be no unrepentant sin to hinder our fellowship.

Thought For Today

God's providence is not in baskets lowered from the sky, but through the hands and hearts of those who love him. The lad without food and without shoes made the proper answer to the cruel-minded woman who asked, "But if God loved you wouldn't he send you food and shoes?" The boy replied, "God told someone, but he forgot."
