Key words
to live by Love, Understanding, Forgiveness; everyone is
different, everyone is not flawless, everyone is human. Our
Lord Jesus understands that, so why have not some of the
human race figured that out. Well, because I think that all
humans have the compassion and love needed for one another,
until Satan plants bad seeds. This intervenes and disrupts
the goodness God had place in His children with thoughts of
the world’s way and wickedness. If one is going to church
and thinks that Satan can’t enter those surrounding, please
think again. I truly believe that Satan himself does not
pass the thresholds of God’s Holy Houses, but he does plant
evil thoughts and ways into honest to goodness faithful
Christians. I feel this is done by trickery on Satan behalf.
One really does have to stay alert when walking along their
Christian Journey. I truly believe that Satan plants seeds
of treachery in Christians so he can filtrate beyond the
walls of Holiness. The good part of that is that God is wise
to Satan placing the bad thoughts in good Christian minds.
And if we stay in tune to God every minute of every hour;
God will let us know of Satan’s trickery. Then our Heavenly
Father will instruct us how to obliterate the bad to evil
thoughts and ways; allowing the goodness of our souls to
shine through. Our natural love, understanding, and
forgiveness will once again take over.
But
staying in tune to God 100% of the time while we are here on
earth is quite difficult. If a person thinks that they are
beyond the reach of Satan because they follow Jesus step by
step; they are being fooled by Satan with that thought. God
knows we are very vulnerable while here on earth and we are
weakened by Satan’s crafty ways on earth. A Christian needs
to keep that thought in their main focus daily. We are mere
humans and we all are going to make a mistake continually;
that is why love, understanding, and forgiveness are key
words to live by. People are going to hurt others in ways we
are not going to believe; and think how on earth they/I
could have done that. But if you think about what I just
said “how on earth could they/I have done that”; well it is
the earth part of that statement that gives us the answer
why and how. Satan can reach every section of the earth one
way or another. Even in the Holy Places that have been set
aside for worship. Best part of Holy Places is; we seem to
allow ourselves to be more in-tune to God and His ways when
we visit them. That is why Church and meditation or pray are
so important for us. They are allowing us to be more aware
in what God is saying. Stay in-tune and focusing on God
surly does help lead us to a correct path and lets us see
the tricky and bad seeds Satan is putting into place.
Sometimes it may take a while for us to realize we are being
tricked by Satan, but God will intervene if one allows Him
too. Life my dear Christian friends is not easy as you all
well know, but if we apply these key words of love,
understanding, and forgiveness to one another like Jesus
does; we will get through our Christian journey here on
earth much easier.
Mark
4:1-20
Again
Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered
around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in
it out on the lake, while all the people were along the
shore at the water’s edge. He taught them many things by
parables, and in his teaching said: “Listen! A farmer went
out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some
fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some
fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It
sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when
the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered
because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns,
which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not
bear grain. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up,
grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some
sixty, some a hundred times.” Then Jesus said, “Whoever has
ears to hear, let them hear.”
When he
was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him
about the parables. He told them, “The secret of the
kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the
outside everything is said in parables so that,
“‘they
may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing
but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be
forgiven!" Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand
this parable? How then will you understand any parable? The
farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the
path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan
comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and
at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root,
they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution
comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still
others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the
worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the
desires for other things come in and choke the word, making
it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear
the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some
sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

Thessalonians 4:8-10
Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not
reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his
Holy Spirit.
Now about
your love for one another we do not need to write to you,
for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each
other. 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family
throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters,
to do so more and more,
“Each
And Every”
Each morning I rush,
Each moment of rest,
Each night I check,
Every chance I get.
I look for a message,
From You our Lord,
To reassure me and others,
There is love & understanding.
A message from our God,
A direction to be followed,
A blessing to behold,
The path I am searching for.
Forgiveness from our Father,
Understanding from our Lord,
Love is what will help us get thru,
In this fallen world which we live.
