Compassion without Compromise

I woke up today and again realized there are so many people in this world.  Each of them has a story and for each of them there story means something to them.  How can we start to see people the same way we see ourselves.  Now, I know this is hard because of the history of the world.  These people don’t like those people and those people don’t like them people and them people don’t like no people.  It becomes frustrating and upsetting as we live in this world and attempt to make Christ our center.  In all we must respect the beliefs of people and search their hearts for truth. We must know and understand we give compassion through Christ and our Faith without compromise in our foundation. We are all broken, whether we want to admit or Not! However, we are All also Worth God’s Healing and Grace!

One Love, One King, All Christ!

Cherished

Daily we live but  it’s more of a journey
Darkness  sneaks in to overwhelm
Whispers and lies telling us we are phony
That we are not worthy of the heavenly realm

Jesus says we are his most cherished
That he is the one true and only Christ
Yet we feel that our dreams have perished
Then our flesh and sin are much more enticed

The days may not be in our favor
Sometimes more dark days than light
We must choose to never let our faith waiver
For in our weakness our strength comes from God’s Might

He is always watching and protecting, Always!

Good evening friends, I know it has been a while since I last posted.  Well a lot has been going on and I have traveled some as well.  I want to write to you about where I have been spiritually for a while now.  I am thankful that God has watched over me and those who are under my watch.  The truth is when we first come to Christ, we are in the darkness, then we accept him and end up in the light.  Satan does not like that but he knows we do not want to be in the darkness any more.  What does he do?  well he changes the light switch from and on and off switch to a dimmer.  He sabotages our walks, placing traps everywhere.  These traps effect us physically, spiritually and emotionally.  However, he knows just turning off the lights leads us immediately to Christ.  He starts to dim the room, slowly the room becomes darker in a subtle way, in a way that we don’t realize.  Its a lot like the old metaphor of the frog in boiling water. Throw him in when its boiling he will jump out, but put him in their when its cold and turn the heat on and he will just sit there til he cooks.  Well I am tired of being that frog and I have realized I allowed myself back into darkness.  Thankfully it never became pitch black because the light of Christ is always shining.  I can remember my days of wanting to do my own thing and it got me nowhere and fast.  I want to turn the time back to when I knew and lived liked I was in Love with Jesus.  I am tired of the excuses I make for everything when God gives me examples everywhere.  Especially with my dear friend and brother Brett!  He is living life to the full because it was almost taken from him, but He is rejoicing in what God has done.  I sit here and complain or make excuses for this and that.  The time has come to move forward with Christ.  No more taking myself out of the game to sin and do what I want, I want to be a first team player and more so I want Jesus to call my name when its time to make a play.  Through Christ I am the play maker and through His Strength I can overcome any and all obstacles and only need to look at Brett.  My heart and soul desire Christ, but it must be a full surrender. Amen

One Love, One King, All Christ!
