We as Christians and we as children of the Lord have got to do our parts, when concerning our relationship with Christ…the Lord doesn’t ever force himself on us…He always tries to let us know that He is there with us and that He loves us..but as far as our relationship with Christ that always has to do with us and what we so desire for that relationship with Christ to be…in other words we have got to do our parts…we all can do whatever it is that we so desire to do…if we wanna pray we can pray..but as well if we decide not to pray…well we don’t have to pray…and that goes with everything we do…as far as choosing to live right…as far as choosing to talk right…act right…go to church..read our bibles…listen to good Christian music…what we watch…pretty much everything we do…how we treat others…how we treat our families…to how we treat our friends…always falls back in our own laps…we can’t always think that we can do whatever and be however and be where we need to be with the Lord…cause that’s just no so guys…we daily have to get up and do our parts…and stay connected to the Lord….I had read a post that said each day you begin all over again with Jesus as if nothing had yet ever been done…so that means that we do above and beyond..in our walk with the Lord…we should be so on fire for Him…we should be so excited that the Lord loves us and knows our names..1 John 4:19…that He has set us free from the snares of this ole world..John 8:36…that He is engraved us in the palm of His hands..Isaiah 49:16…that Jesus Christ the head of it all cares and loves us…that He calls us His friend..John 15:15…that He cares about every thing that concerns us…that He wants to have fellowship with us…God almighty the maker of heaven and earth…wants us to talk with Him…and love Him…that to me amazes me…so when we choose to do our parts we stay grounded…and I believe that with all of my heart…we stay connected…and we are not so easily drawn away…when trials come…when temptations come….when problems arise…when life as we have been discussing just chooses to happen..and it does…that we know that were alright…because we have done been with the Lord..and daily we are with the Lord…talking to Him..and casting our cares on Him..1 Peter 5:7/Psalm 55:22…and daily we are loving Him…and so desiring Him above anything and everything else in all of this life that we live…for when we know Him..then we know that all is well…when we are faced with whatever may come our way..we know deep down inside that all is well…because Jesus knows and Jesus loves us…so my prayer for us all is that we stay connected to the Lord…that a way when life happens as I said we aren’t as easily drawn away by discouragement…by depression..by fear…and unbelief…that we don’t get so upset by the problems…we don’t get weary from it all…when it all just begins to happen…we kinda just stand there as the word says..Exodus 14:13…knowing that Jesus Christ has our backs so to speak…that we are covered by the blood of the Lamb..and that no weapon formed against us would prosper..Isaiah 54:17..we let go of what we think and what we feel and we go by what we know and we go by whom it is that we serve and whom it is that we believe in…which is Jesus Christ our Lord…for God is for us..and God always and forever loves us…so stay there I pray close to Jesus..for He alone has the answers to every question and every problem…for He is Lord..and He is the Lord over it all…and what a great God He is…so let us love Him guys..and let us love Him at all times…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen…Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
