How Grateful Am I?

This past weekend the religious commemorate Christ’s death  on the cross and His resurrection. If they don’t ever go to church in a year, this weekend is the only time they ever consider going.  Its because they “know” that this past weekend is/was for them. For us.  So we go to church because we feel that it’s the least you can do? You go to church because you feel that He deserves our attention today if not on any other day? You go to church because…… its like you feel sorry for Christ for all He had to endure for you? What is this?! You ask yourself or any random Christian why they went to church this weekend or why Easter is so special to them, and their reply would be centered around being grateful for Christ’s death for all sinners. Let me ask you something. How grateful are you? Are you really?? How deep is your desire to show how grateful you are? THIS is the real deal.  Grateful enough to seek Him and DO HIS WILL?

There Is Only One Thing

There is only one thing. He sent them out to preach about the Kingdom and heal the sick He talked of rejection, humiliation and pride He challenged the laws, the leaders, their strife He taught them to pray He warned them of being easily swayed But there is only one thing He says Really there is only one thing He says it all comes down to Seeking His Kingdom, doing His Father's will which will always stand true Nothing more. Nothing less.  You want to come with your philosophies and theories Your experience of what He did for you in the past And what you think you know of Him No, no, no my friend You come to God as you are. No thinking, no status, no religion, no. Nothing See He doesn't want your ideas about this life as if He needed it He is LIFE Himself He. Just. Wants. You. Period.   I do not speak (write) because I fully understand I speak because the bit of the puzzle I do understand, causes me to realize how small I am,...
