Wives

God has given my wife to me to instill in me a bigger heart for others and to give myself constantly to help others and beleive that life and things in life can change people.

Just the other day my wife called me as I was about to meet her somewhere and told me to meet her at the store, mind you we were running a little late but I always try to please her, so when I got there she had a basket with a pile of stuff in it. 

"What the heck are you doing!"

 

She softly replied that she saw a man on the street corner holding a sign saying "HUNGRY!", and that God had told her to feed this man.  I, being the Christian raised person that I am helped her get some things together. Trying not to say that he needed to get out and get a job or he's a bum. God convicted me Right there in that Dollar Tree in Hattiesburg, Ms. I didn't have any compassion for his people, my brother in Christ and that is not what God called us here to do.

So I piled up the shopping basket and prayed over everything that was put in that cart.

I want to say thank you to my wife for pushing me to have a heart of giving compassion for peoples needs even if you don't even know them.

My challenge, to those that read this, is to help someone less fortunate, needy, elderly, homeless, stranded... you never know how much and in what way it will bless you. God has a way of revealing his blessings and you will be surprised everytime.

7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7

Forgiveness

Colossians 3:13 NLT

13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

This has to be the hardest thing for anyone to over come.  I mean to let go and forgive the most deadly sin. Because, a sin is a sin no matter how big or evil it may seem.
But with sin comes grief, hurt, and consequences. Forgiving some is not that easy because you still have that feeling that you have been betrayed, and why should I let go because they are just gonna hurt me again, and then it becomes a trust issue, why should you trust them again.

But, in Colossians 3:12, is says;
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Forgiving is not forgetting!  As hard as it is to accept someone's apology think about the other side, what if you the one needing forgiveness. You're the one dealing with the grief and you can't live with yourself, because you have hurt someone you care aboyt. This is why God says to be kind and gentle in the  sight of humility.

First Post

I do believe I am tired of reading everyone's blogs and I think that I want to vent my opinions on the net just like every blogger out there.

I have a lot of random thoughts moving in and out of my complex and diverse mind, so if you think that you can handle the boredom  subscribe and hang on.  This might be alittle fun
