I think sometimes in life we all get to this place as to where we come to fully understand who we honestly are..and I mean not who we may pretend to be..and not whom others think that we are..but who we really are..and for some we get discouraged because change really hasn’t happened in our lives since following the Lord..considering the way we act, considering the way we treat and talk about others is yet still the same..that part of us remains..and for some we get down casted and down hearted on ourselves..because we place them so called put together lives in motion from the moment our eyes awaken in the morning..and so we go about our day with this togetherness and we move and go forward..all the while deep within our hearts and deep within our minds we know who we are..Amen..and the point of me saying this all is that why do we still yet remain the same?..after years and years of supposedly walking and following hard after the Lord Jesus..after years of church service gatherings..we still yet somehow remain in that ole sinful nature…and that old man yet is there relevant within our life..and we recognize it..for some they become use to it..and for others they say things such as this is just who I am..but really guys it’s not who we are..yes we all were born into sin..Psalm 51:5..and we all have been bought with that precious blood of Jesus..Galatians 3:13-15..for whosoever will…Amen..but to willfully remain in sin..and stay that selfish and fleshly man, that old man that we were before Christ isn’t at all where God our Father desires for any of us to be at in our lives…Amen..so why we do place these mask upon our faces when it comes to people?..but with Jesus we’re that old sinful person living there before Him..for you see God knows us..He knows our thoughts..Psalm 139:2..He knows our words were going to speak before we ever even say them..Psalm 139:4..He knows everything about us..and yet still we remain the same before Him..I guess the question is why do we feel within ourselves okay with that?..why is it that we think that God is pleased with that?..how can we go and stand before our Father in whom is in heaven and not change?..for I know that when we truly repent before the Lord and we truly hungry and thirst for more of Him and His presence we will not stay the same..for scripture says,.”Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”..Matthew 5:6…for you see we will change and we will grow and grow ever so mightily for our Lord..so we should recognize the Lords presence always in our lives..for then I think we wouldn’t feel so comfortable to sit in conversations saying things and not at all question the fact that God is present, and that God is there with us as were speaking and as were saying and doing certain things in our lives…for I believe that it is honestly time for us all to work on our homes..our lives..our relationship first and foremost with our Lord..it’s time to get serious about who we are..and what we do..there is no time to just do whatever or time to just live however…you know there are many lives out there that is in need of God and is in need of salvation like never before..there’s many that’s sick and not at all whole in their minds, their bodies or that spirit filled man of theirs…and here we go living for us..and living in a way that is not pleasing to the Lord..for guys I read this statement this morning and it says..”You will never rise above your conversations!”…now think about that for just a moment..and think about you and think about what your doing for the Kingdom of God..right now is the time to change..and the time to cry out to the Lord to help you to change and be better and do better..let the Lord know that you need His help..for God knows who we are..but as well God knows what were able to do and have been created to do for Him in which case is many marvelous things…Amen!..but the thing of it all is that our Lord lets us chose whatever it is that we want to do in life..whatever we do is our choice..God deals with us, each of us..but the outcome of it all is based on what we ourselves decide to do…so let us chose wisely and let us change and grow ourselves up in the Lord..for then we all can honestly make such an impact and such a difference for not only our life that we live but as well the lives of others and that life that they live…for once again this life isn’t about me or you..but it’s all about Jesus Christ and Him crucified..and who He is and what He alone desires and needs from each of us..so let us grow and grow ever so wisely and fierce for our Lord and for our Savior…In His name, 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
