For the most part I think that we fail to even realize that the Lord is there in those secret so-called conversations were having with others..I think we fail to realize that He sees our heart and motives behind them actions of ours..I think we somehow think we can fool God as we fool others with the way that we truly and honestly are..because we all seem to live out that perfect life..Amen..we all seem to act as if we never say or do anything wrong against anyone..but then somehow we’re able to call and speak out ever so loudly when it comes to others and their shortcomings..Amen..and I see this all the time in my life..and I’ll be the first to say that I have to work on Mandi all the day long..just as you have to and should be working on who you are all the day long..Amen..for once again God sees everything..and God knows it all..so there is no fakeness with the Lord..there is no so called putting on with Him..and I mean for one He is Christ and He is Lord..and for another thing..no one yet once again has to tell you about you..and your heart..and your actions and your motives..because you know you..Amen..and at the end of this life..we are all gonna stand there before the Lord and give an account for our lives..Romans 14:12/2 Corinthians 5:10..and I wonder if the Lord will ask us them secret questions that we think were not seen or heard?..I wonder if He says..paraphrasing here..”Sally why did you spend your whole life mad..angry..and always upset with someone..never to be satisfied with what you had..why did you always seem to see the faults and seem to find them in others..but yet failed to see your own and work on them?..I wonder what our conversations are going to be like at the end of our lives?..because we all are gonna have them with Jesus..we all are gonna be completely who we are as we stand there..there will be nothing hidden..Matthew 10:26/Mark 4:22/Luke 8:17…it all will come forth in the end..and for the most part we just continue day after day looking to please people..and we care more about what people think of us then what we ever do about what Christ thinks and knows of us..I think that each of us need to get serious in our walk with the Lord..and really live for Him..in our actions..in our motives..in our lives..in our hearts..in everything of who we are..Amen..that we just live for the Lord..that we quit all of the murmuring, complaining..and back biting..that we quit constantly finding fault with others..and that we stop living our lives..playing this role of a victim..but that we truly as children of the most high God..get up..get dressed in His armor..and that we do deny ourselves..pick up our crosses and follow Him..Matthew 16:24-26/Mark 8:34/Luke 9:23..and not just putting on the show..but I mean really and truly following Him..with everything of who we are..Amen..because Christ our Lord needs soldiers..and if we live our lives as victims..as back biters..as gossipers..and so forth we can never be that..so know that your life is not your own, you my friend just as I..have been bought with a price..and what a price our Lord paid that we could be free..1 Corinthians 6:20/1 Corinthians 7:23..Amen..that we could live an abundant life..so once again help yourself by helping yourself..quit blaming everyone else for who you are..but look at you and work on you..your heart..your mind..your attitiude..everything..just work on being who the Lord needs for you to be..grow in Him..and learn from Him..for only then can we all be lights shining ever so brightly for our Lord and Savior..but when you live up and down about your life..and you live constantly with something wrong..always having an attitude or problem with someone..then most of the time it’s not them that is the problem but it’s you and yourself that’s the problem..for life is meant to be lived peacefully..and if your not then search and seek out for yourself all of them reasons why that it is not..and then when the Lord shows you and starts revealing them why’s to you..then work on that..and work hard to be free..and to be able to live a joyful and peaceful life..Amen..for life is way to short to constantly be pickering and being unhappy..so ask the Lord to remove the scales from your eyes that you may see..Acts 9:18/Psalm 119:18..and ask the Lord to create in you a clean and pure heart that you will not sin against Him..Psalm 51:10/Proverbs 20:9..for yet once again..everything we do matters and matters greatly..so pay attention to things that you are doing..pay attention to it all..In His name, Jesus’ name, I do 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
