Messages in my life this week, all interesting and meaningful, all messages from God.

I am responsible only for what I say and not for what you understand.

Romans 1:29-32

New International Version (NIV)

²⁹ They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹ they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. ³² Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.



All of the above sayings were sent to me this week and I am sure, without a doubt, from God.  Sometimes life is about the little things and sometimes it is about the big things. So many people in our lives are a vital loving part of our lives and some people are not meant to be in our lives.  Life is about how you handle the good, the bad and the ugly in your life and still look yourself in the mirror and say I handled them the way God asked me too. God doesn't require that all the people we meet in this life stay or are welcome in our lives, he just asks us to conduct ourselves with him in mind.  We are not required to be a victim, or to victimize.  We are often the subject of gossip but that is a trial and trials are easily victories in the making. Life is about the way you conduct yourself not the way people try to make you conduct yourself.  Life, your life, is what you answer for when you meet the Lord face to face, faith and love of God can help us rise above the games and pettiness of life. We all sin each and everyday, God's forgiveness and is not about being perfect, God knows none of us are, as humans.  God sees us through the blood of Jesus and he sees us as perfect.  We only need try to work toward being better each day.  God knows what we endure and God wields the hand of justice to all in the end. God only remembers the sins not cleansed by the blood of his lamb.  So, those who torment us, slander us, gossip about us and hurt us in this life are God's responsibility not ours and through prayer we can reach that as our answer to our prayers.  God has a plan for our lives we just have to have the patients and acceptance to know that God always loves us and gives us his best, no matter who tries to do evil to us..... tomorrow.
