aanderson 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Hi Sisters and Brothers of Christ,I am forever tested by others at work or within the community.People always ask me what religion I am, if they want to stereotype me I say Christian, Church of England, but I always say I am a follower of Christ. Church is good to retain community spirit, but you might go to church each week, but not be a true follower.I am a flawed sinner who loves Jesus and God and the Angels more than life itself. I am fearless because I have the lord at my side. I would only be FEARFUL if GOD was not with ME. It is hard within contemporary society for everyone and we, TRUE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST NEED TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE VULNERABLE AND LOST INCLUDING EACH OTHER. You can only but try and when it is difficult read the Serenity Prayer or MOST IMPORTANTLY LEAVE IT WITH GOD, JESUS AND THEIR ANGELS TO HANDLE IT. YOU ARE HUMAN, AN IMAGE OF GOD, A SINNER WHO HAS NO INFINITE POWERS. GOD LOVES YOU and DOES NOT CARE WHO YOU ARE (Romans 10:11-13). He does not JUDGE, CONDEMN OR HARM YOU. He will handle such matters. Practice what you preach, this can be very difficult I know, believe me. I am forever tested, people who do not believe are forever trying to get me angry, to react or behave inappropriately. FORGIVE THEM and STAY CALM. HOWEVER, DO NOT STOP PREACHING HIS LOVE. For example, I finish work soon as I am only a temp and some non believer's said to me, what will you do now? I said, I Do not know, but I will leave it in the hands of GOD because he knows what he wants me to do for him and I have immense faith to wait for his calling. He will lead me to where he wants me. I love God and Trust God because he his not materialistic or a sinner. I was in Darkness and my journey has been long, but now I am free to be with God, to be what God wants ME TO BE, not be what Non Believers who constantly test or expect me to be. If people were TRUE BELIEVERS they would NEVER HARM YOU OR TEST YOU. I have been treated appallingly by non-believers and I FORGIVE THEM and LEAVE IT WITH GOD TO HANDLE THEM who am I to judge!!!. It is too much for me to HANDLE ALONE. A Greek Man once said to me whilst I was in Greece, who will care if I die. I said GOD will care. Amen.If you cannot help other people then have self preservation and when the TIME is right GOD will help you through your journey as he always does, but you have FREE WILL so he AWAITS YOUR CALL. STAY CALM, STAY FOCUSED with GOD.DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING (John 6)Always remember how can someone learn if they are illiterate or uneducated or are not aware of the ten commandments (right or wrong) (Exodus 20).GOD BLESS TO YOU ALL, NOW AND ALWAYS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
