Dear Lord…We all fall short of you. Every one of us is sinful and undeserving of your grace, yet you have washed us in the blood of your son. Thank you a million times over Lord. Again and again we fail you…what love you have for us. A love no one can comprehend. Alright, well I am very sorry that I haven’t written much on here, but I think I will be writing a post or two in the next days. I will be mostly writing on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday because of my schedule. So last post I explain my view on how to obtain a righteous life. From here I will be explain how this leads to having a righteous heart and actions. Well this will probably be pretty short because this is pretty simple. I mean what is in your heart will be shown on the outside. So therefore if you have a righteous heart it will be seen by others. The heart of a servant shows by actions. Not words. So the heart of the righteous is shown by actions and not words…I mean come on people!!! Its so simple and so easy!!! We know what to do…why can’t we just do it? I’ll tell you why. Cause we are human. Now I want you to be sure to know that I am not saying that as an excuse but as a simple reminder why we fail. Thankfully we have Christ to be complete us perfectly. WELP….moving onto what was on my heart today…I’ll be coming back to “Truth in Love” later….these last couple days have been the heaviest days of my life. My heart feels like someone has just tied it too an anchor and dropped it in the sea. I can’t explain the things going through my head and my heart. They are far too deep and complex and hurt to explain. BUT….(this is where the rubber meets the road) THIS is where I get to choose what I’m going to do with the pain. What should I do? Where should my heart be? What does Christ want from this? What I should do…IS simple yet so challenging and so hard. I need to trust in Christ. Which I have every intention of fully doing. Where should my heart be……..my heart should be where Christ’s heart is. What does Christ want from this? The same thing he wants from every trial he puts me through, trust, faith, a humble heart, and most of all a heart ready to learn for God’s glory. Now I’m not trying to say I’m some great person who can do all this perfectly…because I’m not and I can’t. But I’m going to try. I’m praying and hoping in Christ seeking his will with my whole heart which is the only thing I can do when all the walls around me seem to crumble. I think that we as people…as humans live so much of our lives thinking about us. I know that’s something that everyone says and you hear daily. BUUUUUT think about this! God doesn’t only care about us. PLEASE…people whoever is reading this. HE DOES NOT JUST CARE ABOUT YOU AND HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE. He cares how you live your life with others too…he cares you be putting yourself in other people’s shoes too. I don’t mean to be like UP IN YO GRILL YO….but what the HECK are we doing? I mean when someone does something that is completely stupid and unworthy….mean…we get mad…we get frustrated…we get hurt…we get upset….well I know this sounds crazy but we shouldn’t be. Right now you’re saying to yourself…Steven…we can be frustrated that’s okay…but no we shouldn’t be!!!! WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jezz I’m so convinced and convicted right now that we need to be aware that others may be going through something hard. Maybe they are confused. Maybe they are having something so private and painful in their life that its SOOO hard that they are acting in a rude/cruel/whatever you want to call it manner. Its okay! You don’t need to worry about it. Be aware that you can show them love. YOU might totally completely change their lives by just a little love…think what a lot of love can do? How are you showing love to everyone? I guarantee there are so many people that we have no idea that are hurting or in pain that we are mean too. Please put yourself in their position. Please have that sense of awareness that their loved ones…or their lives are hurting. I know a close person too me…his mom has a duel life…its like skitsofrania… I don’t know how to spell it right…she just tried to kill herself a week ago…she has three children…his dad left him for years and just recently returned…his girlfriend cheated on him and then left him…then she is just starting to see a new guy…NOW….my HEART is BREAKING for this person…and you know what? No one knows what he is going through. I am the only person. No one knows…so what’s happening? NOTHING because no one knows…everyone treats him normal…people give him crap about little things…now WHAT ON EARTH do you think he feels like? Don’t you think someone being there for him would make the difference? I KNOW it would. Please you have no idea what people are going through. We should always show love even when we know the people who don’t deserve love….that’s when we most need to show them love. Christ loved. Christ IS love. Be love.
