Thoughts just for you….

Father’s Day was last month. Mother’s Day is in May. As fathers and mothers what is our responsibility?

When we first got married we didn’t think of what it might be like to have children. We enjoyed our marriage and went on with life. Then a wonderful thing happened. A little one came into our lives.

What a change! This little bundle of joy had more impact our our lives than anything else would ever do. We had to adjust our daily routine to fit the needs of our child. We had to earn enough to provide for them. We had to make sure we planned for their future.

What sort of plans did you have for you children? Was it tough love time and they had to learn on their own, and you went about your own business? I think not.

My point is, we as parents have a tremendous impact on our children either positive or negative.

Proverbs tells us that how the tree is grown will be the final outcome. That is certainly a vague interpretation, but it means that how we teach our children will be how they will be many years from now. What we say and do will have an affect on them.

I am so blessed with the children I have. I made sure they went to church with me every Sunday, and tried to be a good example for them.

I can now say that all three of my adult children are Christians, and they all married Christians spouses. They all have Christian children. Not because I am something special, and need to boast. It is because of consistent love and guidance through the years, that has brought each of them to their own level of trying to be good parents as well.

Think about what kind of example you are for your children? If you aren’t comfortable with the way things are going, change it. God allows U-turns in your life. It is never too late!

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And Above all…never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you…

As Christians, we are told we need to share our beliefs with others. We may do that amongst our friends, and acquaintances, but what about our own family?

Do you have a brother, or sister, that isn’t a believer? Does your parents scoff at you about your faith? What about your grandparents. Think ever further about you Uncles, Aunts, or even your nieces and nephews?

How sad it would be if you didn’t do your part in telling those who are close to you, and they lost their souls.

I know, it is much harder to talk to our loved ones. It is much harder to think of the right things to say, because if the fear that they will reject you, and cause a wall between you and them.

However, if we use that excuse for ever, we may lose some loved ones who never were challenged and were lost.

We don’t need to release fire and hail on our loved ones. We can share what a change it made for us to turn our lives over to God, and that we want them to feel the same love.

Then we need to pray. We need to pray daily that the seed we just planted will grow into a new soul. believe me they will remember the little you said each time they see you. You never have to “hound,” them about it ever again.

Prayer takes over. Pray without ceasing, and the outcome will be a blessed event of that love one eventually submitting themselves to God.

I am not an authority on this except that too have some close loved ones who are not willing to accept the Christian life as yet. I will not stop my quest to keep praying daily for them. My reward is eternal life for those who eventually give their hearts to God.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

And above all…never, ever, give up!

Thoughts just for you….

There is a difference committing a sin and contributing to sin. Even the most faithful believers commit sins, but they do not cherish a particular sin and choose to commit it. A believer who commits a sin repents, confesses, and finds forgiveness. A person who continues to sin, by contrast, is not sorry for what he or she is doing. So the person never confesses and never receives forgiveness. Such a person is in opposition to God., not matter what religious claims he or she has.

As Christians we have areas where temptation is strong and habits are hard to conquer. Those weaknesses give Satan a foothold, so we must deal with our areas of vulnerability.

If we are struggling with a particular sins, we need to keep faithful to God, and ask for His help in overcoming them.

Three steps are need to win a victory over prevailing sin:

Seek the power of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word.
Stay away from tempting situations.
Seek help from the body of Christ, the church, and be open to their willingness to hold you accountable and pray for you.

Remember:

You are never alone.

You are never forsaken.

You are never unloved.

Above all…..never, ever, give up!
