God's love

      God's love for us is greater than we can ever imagine. He gave up his son to die on a cross for all our sins. Even His love showed through Jesus.

      In Luke 23:34 Jesus said, " Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. "

      Later in Luke one of the criminals hanging beside him asks, " Lord remember me when you come into your kingdom. " Even nearing death Jesus said to him, " Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise. "

      God loved the world so much He made a new covenant with man through Jesus where if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved. It's that easy for God to love everyone, and now it's our turn to show his love through us.

Control

     Does God have control of your life, or do you try to drive life in the direction you want it to go? Some of us like to say He is in control, but we still like having our hands on the wheel. To have God in control, we have to stay in the back seat. Here is a great way to picture Him in control of your life: Think of a two-person bike. The one in front steers and both of you pedal. With God in control, He steers where you need to go and you help by doing the work.

     When God has control of our lives, there is no need to worry about todays problems when we are looking forward to life ever lasting. He knows what we can do and will never give us too much to handle. W must have faith and He will provide for us. He is always watching over us with a kind and loving heart. All we need to do is say," ok Lord you have full control," and live life the way he would want us to.

Brothers Keeper

Are we or do we need to be our brothers keeper? Yes we are and need to be because God wants us to look out for one another. We should help with staying strong in faith. We need to be there when someone needs to be shown love, compassion, strength, and just to pray with or for someone. I'm not saying we should or need to push Christianity all over people and down their throats. Just show them love and give help when its needed. We should be there for our brothers and sisters to show them they're not alone. By showing them they're not alone will give them strength to move on day by day.
