What will you be doing on judgement day? Who are you thinking will be judging you?
What will you do, if your neighbor judges you?
Will you stop doing what you do?
Whatever that may be?
What if you do the will of God, and people judge you for it?
Will that make you quit?
What if you love and get hated for it?
Will you not love, for personal acceptance?
What if putting God first makes people in your life angry at you? Or call you names? Or tell you that you're wrong? Or tell you that you're crazy?
Will you stop serving God then?
Would you rather make human beings happy and be like them (people pleasing - self-gratifying- respectors of persons) or would you SERVE the LORD no matter what ?
Will you serve the LORD no matter what?
What if it means jepordizing your social status? What if it meant losing your job? what if it meant showing people your true self? what if it meant changing things you don't wanna change about your self and life?
God is not a half-way kindof God.
He is either ALL or NOTHING.
I mean if you're serious about LIVING FOR HIM.
I am speaking to myself in this... there are a few things I need to clean out of MY life to live a life that is WELL PLEASING to HIM.
And I see that now... and I repent.
I will henceforth strive with my righteousness to do what I know pleases my LORD and my GOD~in Jesus CHRIST"S NAME.

Love Changes Things *_has been edited_*
I see something in people's lives (sometimes) that i think we all need to understand and get free from.
I will use myself as an example, though I have tried to be the best I can in these types of situations, I have "felt" the way I am about to write about, though I think (and hope!) I've conquered this prety well...Lord give grace....
And what I want to write about, is not giving to someone for fear of them having something that I do not. AKA fear of loss. Fear of missing out. (envy)
It could be like if you are praying for somebody, and you pray for them but you hold back from actually really believing completely (with them) for thier blessing, because if they get blessed, maybe they will be happier than you, or maybe they will be getting something that maybe you want, too, but since they are asking for it or getting it, you are "upset" or angry about it. And what that comes from is a spirit of ungratefulness, a spirit of competition, of comparision and envy, and ultimatley unbelief. The Bible says in James that the spirit within man lusts to envy. And I think it is because (man, some women too) don't appreciate what they have. And maybe they have appreciated what they have, but then got tired of it, because maybe they were trying to fill a need use something other than god to make themselves have peace or be happy.
But that is God's place, and we have heard that He is a jealous God. Is He not?
If you ask and if you believe, then you will have what you ask for.
It is as simple as that.. Jesus even said it. But then there are things we can ask for that aren't what God wants us to have... but He will give it to us, to show us that is not what He wants us to have. Because, see, He wants us to learn to TRUST HIM. To TRUST HIS judgment(this isn't good for you, this is what I want for you).. because it's a RELATIONSHIP, a REAL relationship with God Almighty.
_edit_ we need to leard to LISTEN to the LORD, and then OBEY Him.... trusting that He has our BEST intrest in mind
So it's gotta be true. (we have to learn to be honest... and question our motives, sometimes, too..."why do i want, this or this?" and is it good for the long run? )
I think people, we have to learn to not judge each other. We have learned how TO judge each other, but we have to unlearn that, and learn how to love people. _We need to start paying attention to what our inner voice is saying. some people reading this would have even said "inner critic" where I said voice. We need to start supporting people we love and even sometimes the unlovable, because it's hard enough in this world to fit in and feel loved for who we are, individually and in community. WE all should appreciate each other_
Every body does things that are wrong sometimes, but should you stop loving them?
No. Keep loving them, because hopefully one day, they will see the results and the evidence of sin in thier lives. And they will have to face the fact that they are responsible (as we aLL are) for our own selves.
The bible says that by God's mercy and grace His people turn from sin. Meaning, we repent because we know He will forgive us... He won't throw us in a lion's den or into a wolf- pack for confessing to Him we make a mistake. In fact, He wants us to come to Him, because He understands, and wants to help us out of our (sinful) ways so that we can lead lives that Honor Him and fulfill our hearts. Because that's the kind of LORD He is... He wants His creation to be happy.
The Major difference in people who have Jesus as thier Savior vs. those who don't, is that believers(in Jesus Christ) have SomeOne they can call on to make things right in thier life.
Maybe you think that is pretentious, and maybe you say, what about people who abuse grace, by saying it's ok to sin because I can just ask Jesus to forgive me and it will be alright.
Forgiveness isn't the point here, because according to the WORD we ARE forgiven, the point is, are you doing the Will of God for YOUR life?
Is what you're doing getting you to where you want to go in life?
Is who you're with helping your life become a Glory to God, or are you hanging around people who bring you down?
Are there things in your life holding you back from who you want to be?
these are questions only you can find the answers to.
And if you come to find that there are things that you wish were different, then you have to accept responsibility for yourself, and make the changes neccessary to have the life you want.
'Cause we only get One. But we do get it, and if we need to change, there is still time. Life may be short, but it ain't over til it's over.
There was a message on a church sign close to where I live that said,
"We must become the change we want to see"
that was said by Mahatma Ghandi, an Indian Peacemaker....
But the statement is true.. instead of looking around judging everybody else, hating them, be a better person... love them, love them anyway, love them for who they are... because love is what people want... and need.
Love is all people really want and need.
And who can they get it from? How can they find it inside?
We have to show them that there is love inside ....
Love comes from the heart.... Love is free.... Love is alive, Love changes things. Big things.... Love changes lives.
Love y'all.
In Jesus' Name.

FAITH
I am so thankful for the rain we have been getting that I wanna say "Thank you Jesus!" So, Thank YA JESUS! I Love ya LORD!
I wanna encourage everybody, too, to remember that Jesus tells us to "Be a light" in this dark world. I know it's so easy to get ticked at people- driving, or at the grocery, or in the gov't buildings - anywhere really... But we are called to be PEACEMAKERS and CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH ... so, instead of expecting OTHERS to be perfect, let US be perfect and they will see and it (the SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST) will "rub off" on them... I BELIEVE!
.... So many people wanna "pray" for this wanna "pray" for that.. Jesus said, "ONLY BELIEVE" Maybe what they really mean, is "help me believe for this, and believe for that" (Lord Jesus help them!)
It doesn't get much simpler than that, My Friends. "Only Believe". Like when we were children and all we did was believe... we didn't say "oh pray for this, pray for that " about every single little thing.. all we had to do was believe... and if we did, we had what we asked... and that is the same principle Jeuss has given us for THIS DAY!
So, My Precious Ones, Be Encouraged to Believe for what God has for you, and do Just THAT, BELIEVE!~
U can do it... I believe in you!
LOVE, iANGEL

High Salvation
It's my time to ponder life's paths
To seek what Way He would have me to travel
It's High Time to wander this road
And cast up the stones on our way to Zion~
There's no time to wonder why
No time to look back, no time to cry-
Have simple faith, like a mustard seed
small and plain and easy to see
~
Sometimes it's different, the ways that we see
It's always about you, or is it all about me?
What was it like for you growing up?
Were your parents around? Did you have enough?
What have you done to deserve your Salvation?
Was it something you earned or a planned destination?
For me it's been a Celebration and to God All the the Glory ~
For This Revelation~ of Salvation~ and this Hopeful Destination~
~i found this from what i wrote sometime in the past year... thought I should post it for ya's~ <3 & peace
