Hola familia, I pray this hump day goes by quick so we can get busy for the weekend. I love the weekends!
Examining our lives is not every easy and can suck, because it causes us to look deep within ourself, and today not many want to do that. Instead they drown themselves with whatever they can to numb the pain inside of them. I know because that was I. And i did whatever i could not to face the real me, even if that meant to die.
But I thank God that I had my sisters who really were the only ones that noticed and spoke up to help me realizes what I was doing was wrong. And those that knew maybe something was wrong just couldn’t say anything cause maybe they felt that that was my business and didn’t want to engage because many of them were doing the same, maybe? Today if your having difficulties after examining yourself, your life, GET HELP, ASAP!
There are many of us that pray for the opportunity to be able to reach out to a soul that WANTS to be changed. I know many women and men waiting to encourage and pray for you, and don’t worry about what your friends think, do you really think they care? Its time to be real, time is short, and maybe shorter then i think. God bless you guys always.
I’m gonna challenge you, if God puts it in your heart to reach out to someone don’t ignore Him. You can either be blessed and He’ll use someone else to bless, but His Word will go out.
Examine Yourself
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
– 1 Corinthians 11:28
Paul had just rebuked those in the church of Corinth for the way many were coming to the Lords table and partaking of communion. He warned them that by doing it in a care less, unworthy manner, they became guilty of the body and the blood of Jesus. And so he said, “Let a man examine himself.”
This is good advice for all of us. It is difficult, but important. You can’t deal with an issue until you have first identified and acknowledged it. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
Once we examine ourselves and acknowledge arson, we can then bring it to Jesus.
Perhaps there is something in your life that God wants to deal with, some issue you’ve been trying to hide from Him. Whether you realize it or not, that Sin is hindering full fellowship with God. He wants to fix that today. If you will judge yourself, you won’t be judged of Him. Let the Holy Spirit search your heart and reveal the truth He knows, and then be sure you respond and react by confessing your sins and react by confessing your sins and receiving His forgiveness.
As David said, “Search me, O Lord, and know my heart. Try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me”. It is not what you think about yourself that matters it is what God thinks.
Father, thank you for your love and mercy towards us. Lord, As a spirit reveals the truth to us, help us to knowledge and repent.
In Jesus’ Name We Pray, Amen.
