Realizing God

image

How do I begin to convince someone of the beauty in a relationship with God? That there is true joy and peace with God? I often struggle with that. The world needs to know God’s existence. The world needs to know God’s love. The world needs to know God’s will. The world needs to know God’s plan. The world needs to NEED God.

Many times as a Christian we get caught up in the holier than thou do-gooder mentality, telling everybody how wrong they are. Telling them how right we think we are. Telling them the bad news.

Perhaps this is wrong.

People don’t want to be told that because they immediately shut down and get offended. Not to say there isn’t a time and place for that approach, but this day and age I start to wonder if people have decided there is no God to begin with.

If you have blessed me with your eyes and your time, I want to tell you the good news. It’s too good to keep to myself. God is a wonderful creator. He is real. You can see it in the beautiful creation. These masterpieces such as trees, planets, nature, came from a brilliant artist! You came from a brilliant artist. He was and He is.

God loves you. He really does. He created you to love Him. We spend a lifetime seeking our purpose in life. We were created to give glory to Him who created us. When we are doing that, our joy is unexplainable– and we bring joy to others.

God understands your struggles. Everybody here has a struggle, a pain, a plight. God wants you to lean on Him. Tell Him your sorrows. Bring Him your burdens. Really! All of them. Let Him help. Literally place them in His hands.

God takes care of His creation. Look at your life. Look around. Look at what you have. Look at all the good things you have, even if it’s simply breathing and walking around. No it hasn’t been always easy, but you’re here. God has taken care of you. Really!

When you come to realize these beautiful facts, this good news, this wonderful need for such a wonderful God, it becomes easy. It becomes easy to crave more knowledge about this creator. I recommend the Holy Bible, His thoughts and His Word preserved for years. It becomes easy to ask yourself if you are bringing glory to your creator in your day to day life. Nobody has to tell you what you’re doing wrong because you judge yourself against what God desires of His creation. And you love Him enough to make changes.

I don’t have to say much. I need only highlight our wonderful God and His wonderful creation and His love for ALL. When you begin to look at God, really look at God, you then begin to look at yourself and the world differently…and for the better. When each person begins to see this way, God’s way, that’s how you change the world.

Love you all. Thank you, God.

Look at it this Way: Judging and Admonishing

It seems that in some way or another everybody has an issue with telling someone that something in their life is not what God agrees with. Saying it’s wrong and doesn’t align with scripture.


I was reading an article on a well known actress
who spoke about Christian roots and how she currently attends a church. In the article she ends up somehow trying to harmonize that with doing a risque sex scene in a movie. I thought quickly to myself- don’t judge. She may be a struggling Christian just like you..plank in the eye, blah blah blah…

Society has begun to get lazy or make excuses through misuse of the scriptures like he without sin cast the first stone.

I’m not perfect either; therefore I shouldn’t say anything.

We are super concerned with hurting feelings, losing friendship or looking “holier than thou”.

The church has misused the “come as you are” philosophy and changed it to “stay as you are”. We’ll accept you.

Concerned about bringing as many people to Christ by turning away none. Ever. No matter what.

And the result is nothing gets said.

Consider…

Galatians 6:1 KJV

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

1 Corinthians 5:3-5 KJV

For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

James 5:19-20 NIV

My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

Have you ever looked at it this way? The way God looked at it? Rather than calling it judging, call it restoring? Restoring one back to the right relationship with God is love. That sounds like something a true loving brother in Christ would want to do. Right?

Ever thought about it as saving their spirit through destruction of flesh? That is their lusts, their ego, etc. Is not helping someone you love live in the Spirit rather than carnally worth it if the consequence is eternal damnation?

Ever thought about it as saving them from death and covering a multitude of sins? They will not undergo spiritual death and they, seeing the error of that sin, will probably try not to do future sins though correction and redirection!

So it doesn’t sound as mean, condescending, self righteous, judgmental or like, “oh you’re just picking on me!”, does it?

Bear in mind some things. God said to use a spirit of meekness and to speak in love. Also, make sure your motive is truly that which we’ve mentioned above. Be sure the one you correct needs correction. Don’t judge blindly. Talk to them rather than accuse.

But don’t take the lazy way out and deny the world and the church that loving act of admonition and restoration. The Word of God has already done the judging. It’s already been bound in heaven. Help others align with that Word.

Look at it this way.
