5.2- Kindness is a magnet.

 5.2-

Kindness is a magnet. When we look at how God has drawn his children to himself it not his brutal force, but his kindness.
Major holidays from Christmas to Easter are filled with stories of forgiveness and reconciliation. After Peter had cussed and denied he knew the teacher, he chose him to be a key leader.
Paul a killer of Christians was chosen to be the writer of the most books in the New Testament. God's kindness overwhelms our stubborn hearts.
The God who designed the garden of eden pursued the couple,Adam and Eve for conversation. Why? His kindness. Reflect on his kindness with me today. Lord help me to be kind.

Romans 2.
2 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

7.22- Secrets are tiring and destructive.

 7.22- Secrets are tiring and destructive. We go to such extents to hide our deepest issues.  It pushes us to play games and not be genuine.  King David was not a good example of how to live.  He did many things wrong, outrageous.  But he did the right thing to make it right with honesty with God and HIs fellowman.  It cost him dearly.  The consequences had to be faced, but he asked God to examine him and then wrote of the relief and joy. Psalm 139 Psalm 139 New International Version Psalm 139 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. 1  You have searched me,  Lord ,      and you know me. 2  You know when I sit and when I rise;      you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3  You discern my going out and my lying down;      you are familiar with all my ways. 4  Before a word is on my tongue      you,  Lord , know it completely. 5...

 8.26- God expects His children to forgive people who say they have repented and to do so over and over. He certainly is a forgiving God. He has great love and patience with His children. He is compassionate. He is gracious. he is slow to anger.  He is abounding in love. He is abounding in faithfulness.  Exodus 34 4  So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the  Lord  had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.   5  Then the  Lord  came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the  Lord .   6  And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The  Lord , the  Lord , the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness,   7  maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave ...

4.25- Have you had a Doctor of nurse that changed you life?

 4.25- Have you had a Doctor of nurse that changed you life.  I have.  I broke my ankle on this date twenty years ago.  I went to a specialist who did not have a very good bedside manner, but he helped to adjust to my new reality.  He said, "I have some good news for you and some bad news for you. The bad news is that you will never run and play sports like you have in the past after this event.  I am going to get you connected with a good man who will fix you a perfect orthodic for your ankle and fit you with braces and you will not have great pain and you will be able to walk effectively. By being blunt and honest with me and not giving me false hope he actually helped me.  He did that and I have been able to walk ever since and for is help as well as his nursing staff.   I should mention teachers and coaches and principals who helped us rear our children. These were angels from God. Mark 1 29  And immediately after they left the ...
