Through my Heavenly Daddy, I continue to take on small increments of what He has to offer me of His love.
Starting with accepting kindness and sincerity from others and then being able to reciprocate. Accepting others, as well as myself, for who "we are" flaws and all, just as our Heavenly Daddy does with each of us. Loving us no matter what. And a sure way to keep the devil in line.
"All of us make mistakes. All of us have weaknesses. God didn’t call us to point out those weaknesses to the person (or worse, to someone else), but He did call us to care—to show Christ’s love in any way we can. The Bible tells us to be tenderhearted, understanding, and forgiving. That’s how we can win over satanic attacks." - Joyce Meyer
So true JBR...oh ye who is w/out sin cast the first stone...I"M NOT HOLDING IN STONES IN MY HANDS ... I'm the leader of the pack when it comes to making "an oops" of the day ....Have a wonderful weekend JBR
ReplyDeleteJBR if you could see my face. I'm grinning from ear to ear with your progress. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteIn this hurtful place where we live, I'm so glad His gift of love came down to heal, to overflow in our hearts and enable us to do what we can't possibly do on our own. To God be the glory!
ReplyDelete"No one can seize out of the hand of my Father", John 10: 29.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to you, coz my childhood was just pain, rejection, poverty and you name it. But God turned my life into a life worth living. He is really good.
ReplyDeletePerfectly said! And remember to look at yourself thru God's eyes. Then you will see how special you ore
ReplyDeleteWonderful steps to take! It isn't easy.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! God wants us to choose mercy over judgement for others and be able to receive that for ourselves too!
ReplyDeleteJust as we are is such a wonderful acceptance.
ReplyDeleteTo be deeply known and so amazingly loved by the One who sees every part of us, even the flaws, brings such wonderful peace.
ReplyDelete"Just as I am I ran to Him and mercy took me in" . . . the words to a beautiful song.
ReplyDeleteCARING. THE BODY OF CHRIST COULD BE IN DANGER IF THIS WORD LOSES ITS MEANING. THE WORLD IS QUICK TO JUDGE POINT FINGERS AND BRING THERE NEIGHBOR TO TRIAL OVER THE DUMBEST THING FOR MONEY. GOOD POST JBR.
ReplyDeleteI love that God loves us just as we are, yet he wants us to grow and become more like him. It is like loving your child, who of course needs help all the time. God bless.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thoughts. I love Joyce Meyer's quote, especially that last sentence.
ReplyDeleteLove and peace,
Pam
It has taken me most of my life to accept kindness from others. Watched a wonderful video today.
