Fear not, Forgive lots

Stand strong, and be courageous brothers and sisters who might come to read this. Do not fear when you are in His place of worship or when you have closed the doors and worship him, if it be joy to dance, then dance, if it be joy to surrender with hands up then do it :) God looks right into the heart and He will not see you as a fool, even if the world sees it as foolishness. I tell you He is loving and compassionate an you should come boldly to His throne :).

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He alos justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:28-31

The reason I chose the title I did is because, I believe that we Christians should not fear the world, when God is with us and if we are scorned at for believing, we should forgive. Know this even though we are saved, we are called to be more and more like Jesus, it's not easy but do it never the less, forgive people who scorn at you, enemies that harm you, cloth them and feed them, for vengeance is not for us to take.

On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Romans 12:20

35 "This king did what my heavenly Father will do to you if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart." Matthew 18:35 (read from 23)

We are new creations.. called out from the dead and God has given us a new life, so should we boast and say we are better than others? shall we crown ourselves kings? I believe that only God is able to do that, He has crowned you righteous and by His grace you have been set free, so do not be proud and look down on others, but be humble and look up to others that you would be a servant to a brother or sister. Desire this, to love, to be of service to the body of Christ, to God the almighty... desire his love more, and seek His kingdom, follow the commandments, for they are light and easy, it is not heavy.

Take courage, for the world will start to crumble earth will give way, Everything will vanish, But God's word stands firm. Don't be surprised when you hear of war, or disasters.. It was Christ who said these are the birth pains of the thing to come... Be of light and not Darkness, repentance is not punishment, it is a way and a grace for us to be able to repent now, than not be able to do it at all :)


Be of love, and of kindness... and remember God in all you do, keep Him in your minds always.


love
