For the past week I have really been trying to get closer with my Christan life and share thy wondrous work of the Lord Jesus Christ. I think it's a beautiful thing that I am pushing my self to go through this because, I can look at my self and see the progress I am making and my attitude and willingness to be apart of God's plan.
I want to share with you the weekend i had, the day i was going to church Sunday morning. I woke up, said a prayer and as i was getting ready i turned on the t.v to hear the word of God on channel 49, and i sat there for awhile taken in what the man was saying, but anyway i carried on and i was more happier then ever. Full of enthusiam and excitement, i was just plane hyper and my Grandmother looked at me and said " Jen, you look extreamly happy today, why are you so happy?" and i said "because i was listening to the word of God". She smiled at me and said good and allowed me to carry on. I have to say i felt good saying it was because i was listening to the word of God. Then for the past couple of days in church our message was Love and i connected to that preaching and expanded on it by reading more into the Bible on loving one another and so on. Now, i want to share a couple verses with you.
Matthew 5: 4-12
4. Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5. Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6. Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7. Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8. Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9. Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10. Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11. Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5: 38-48
38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
41. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Now I just want to encourage everybody to Love Thy Neighbor and Love your Enemies. Be humble and holly for you are God's child and he is watching you at all times. Try to be the people that God wants us to be. You may think it's hard and it is but ask for help and he will guide and lead you. We must love our sisters and brothers, for If we don't love the people in this world then how do you expect to get into the gates of heaven. We have come from a Loving God so he expects us to love one another.
