In Matthew 6:25-34 it reads:
Do Not Worry
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Notice how it says You Father... You may think He's not my Father! My Father is -----! But that person is your earthly father. Your true father is in Heaven. Sitting on the throne of grace. HE is your father!! God is your Father!! He knew you while you were in your mother's womb. He knew you before you were even conceived!! Talk about crazy! He knew what you were conceived for. He had plans for you. He still does if you would quit worrying about your hair, clothes, looks, etc!!! God has the supplies!!!! Open your ears and LISTEN!!!!! My therapist says "Some people have the ability to do great evil or do great good."
Now my question is What ability do YOU have? Before I was REALLY led to Christ, I knew that if I kept my rebellious, angry, lustful life that I was going to do great evil! Instead I am following Christ so I can do great good!!! Don't we have a awesome God? How many of you worry alot? I'm not much of a worrier. (Anymore!) I decided to be a warrior instead. There is quote that is sooo true!!!
"Sorrow and regret look down, worry looks around, but faith and a good attitude looks up."
When you are sorrowful or you are regretting something it just is bringing you down! It won't let you rest. But you can make a choice to stay sorrowful or regretful or you can make a choice to say "NO! I rebuke you! You have NO power over me! I won't let you bring me down!"
Worry looks around... When you are cheating, or you are worried about your looks... you are looking around to see if anyone is watching you. It's true! Think about it!
Faith and a good attitude can lift you up. So when you are happy if you really think about it your spirit is lighter. So it lifts you up! Who are you gonna be? Sorrow, Regret, Worry, Faith and a good attitude?
Then there's another quote:
"You can't be a smart cookie with a crummy attitude!"
Which means you can't be happy and show others how happy you are if you got a bad attitude. Those just don't go together! Example: I can't talk to about this stuff if I am doing what I was doing a month ago!
To make this post less boring I HAVE to tell you another God experience!!
I was talking to God the other night. Sitting in my bed crying actually. I don't know why I was so sad. I felt alone and unloved. So I asked God "God, if you really love me; show me. And I will believe." He did show me! The second I asked that question a song came up. I Need You To Love Me by Barlow-Girl. It is on YouTube. (click for view) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QaM8l4Pn8c I cried some more when I heard it. It is an awesome song! I read the comments on it. One girl said "This song is retarded. It talks about god." Others said "I love it!"
We have all sinned. What we need is God's love. We want Him. Some of us just don't know how to get it. I'll tell you one thing. When you get ready to confess and follow Him. I will be there to help you. Yes, you will have struggles and temptations but you have to stand strong. Here's several verses about it:
Matthew 5:1-12
The Beatitudes
1 Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them saying:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
If you decided to become one of Jesus's followers today, I congratulate you. You have made a very good choice. But you have to mean it in your heart. It is a commitment. You have to stay with Him. He's your Shepherd. Your a sheep. Satan is a wolf and his demons are his followers. You must keep your ears and eyes open. Stay away from violence and pornography. Hate and anger. Idols and drugs. That also means NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE!!!! Through those 7 things demons enter you. God loves you too much to see you go to hell. He does not want ANYBODY to go to hell. Hell was actually made for Satan and his angels.
2 Peter 2:4
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;
If Satan had it his way everybody would be in hell. Me and you! EVERYBODY!!!!! Maybe we oughta thank God for being there for us to get to know Him so we can go to Heaven.
I will tell you the verse that talks about the 7 things God hates:
Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things the LORD HATES, seven that are DETESTABLE to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
I think I've done enough preachin. You might be hearing this kind of stuff for a while. But I hope I am changing lives. I don't want to be boring. I want to change people's lives. So PLEASE show other people! If this dosen't mean anything to you, it will to someone else. Well, I think I am done!
Bye for now!
