Keep your eyes on the SON

"Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16) "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28) "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9).

Send me email I love it and I promise you I will return something. I know I havent wrote in a little bit, I tell ya this sista is wooped. But, things are ever so much better. My heart is healing daily, my love for GOD grows every single moment of every single day, and things are looking I might have a light at the end of my tunnel.

Now, guys and gals have you ever thought about this concept...we are forgiven. For everything we ever done wrong, from the smallest of small to the biggest of big we are forgiven. We have a wonderful Savior that forgives us. Sometimes as humans, I know this be true I suffer with it, we want man's (human's) forgiveness, as Christians we are to forgive those whom have hurt us and we should forgive ourselves for hurting them and ourselves. But, have you set there and thought about this. Jesus died on the Christ for each and every one of us and we did not even ask him to HE just did. He died so we could be forgiven. It blows my mind that some of the mistakes I have made and will make he forgives me for.. is he insane, am I insane. WOW! We were forgiven and washed that beautiful blood (I know sounds werid and gross but roll with me) we did not even realize that when he died WE were on his mind. All of us, every single sin every single one of us was on his heart and mind. I cannot tell you how that blows my mind. There are things in my life that I ashamed of and I look in my heart and my life and I am like how can someone forgive me for all the wrong I have done. But you listen to that little voice and it says forgive yourself, I have forgiven you that moment it happend but you gotta go half way dear one, Amen!

Human forgiveness...now you might be asking Lindsey, what did they put in your diet coke, sweetie? But, go with me. Alot of times we want man to forgive us and we think, "Oh if man's forgiven me then I don't need to worry about GOD." Have you lost your marbles? You should go to GOD in forgiveness, not just that but everything. Yes, I tell the people I've done wrong to, I'm sorry. But, to me forgiveness is ever so much more than I am sorry! When I say I am sorry to GOD, you talk about some waterworks. I think alot of times us as humans do not see the BIG picture, its all about love at the end of the day. What does to say about LOVE? Lets see, Matthew 5:44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you....! So, What am I saying in that Bible Verse? Love everyone, yeap even the nosie neighbor across the street love him or her. Pray for those whom persecute you...sometimes we say, "Oh GOD can handle them". Yes, that is true but you pray for them as well. Because, maybe they know not what they do. Luke 23:34: But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

In my life, in my Bible time which has grown to three times a day. Yes, I know that is alot of reading and that is alot of Diet Coke I assure you. I have a notebook I write sermon notes in, notes I've made on my free time, Beth Moore notes ( I love her so much!), and I have a section for prayer request that is why I urge the prayer reqest no prayer reqest is to small or to big send it on. My prayer list is two and half pages long. I pray for my family, my friends, my cat, my ex boyfriends, the couple that moved next door, you get what I am saying everyone. Even if these people do not see the pain they did or do to me I pray for them. I have some on that list that I have only met one time, don't know their names at all. Like, I have a old lady I met at the pharamcy who is having eye surgery that is her name lady at pharamcy having eye surgery. GOD knows who she is and what is going on. So, my challenge to you my wonderful readers, pray for someone today/tonight. Forgive someone. Remember I love you always and Keep Smiling.
