Only God could take a murderous
instrument of torture and make it
a beautiful emblem of hope, love,
and peace.
He did not despise the cross
that ushered Him into this
#SilentSaturday
It helps my state of mind to release a circumstance to the will of God if it doesn’t necessarily tickle my fancy.
When I wake up & pray for God’s will to be done it is then up to me to believe & behave accordingly.
Letting go and letting God is a solid safeguard for one’s sanity.
There is relevance to repentance…
Mark 1:14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
If Jesus has taught me anything it is to be merciful to those who wrong me.
“Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34 CSB)
The LORD says, “I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help. I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am!’ to a nation that did not call on my name. Isaiah 65:1 (NLT)
Softly & tenderly Jesus is calling…Come Home.
If the truth of God, the Holy Spirit, indwelling
your heart and the hope of heaven for
eternity does not give you a good attitude
mixed with contentment, plus a positive
outlook on life, well…your requirements for
personal peace and happiness are
going to be burdensome.
