Your Father




Being a "Facebook" member, I have noticed so many people posting scriptures from the Bible,
trying to encourage one another by telling them God will take care of them and etc.
 But when you look deeper into their pages. You will see some of those same people half naked...cursing one another out and really not living the life they are quoting in those scriptures


There was this one woman who posted that she "loves God with all her heart and soul but in the same sentence she said she would "F" a "MF" up if they crossed her...

She also listed some of the things hated and she listed her ex as the person she hated
and she hoped he burned in hell

It was obvious to me then that she didn't know God.

Because if she did, she would know that God is a loving God ....

If you think I am lying...Go and read it for for yourself in 1 John 4:7-8 and 1 John 4:20

(Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.)

Obedience by Faith ] If someone says, “I love God,” and hatehis brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

I'm not going to sit here and act as if I am perfect. Because I am not. But I do confess to be a Christian. Being a christian means that I strive live the life that Christ lived when He was here. He came here ( in the flesh) to show us that it could be done.
We can live on this earth and serve God too.
But He knows that we are not perfect.
He knows that we will "mess up", fall into sin.
But we are not to do it  because it "feels good".
If we mess up, we are to get up, repent, walk the walk, talk the talk and live the life God wants us to live.
You cant do one without the other.
If you cant live the life, there is no need in acting or talking like you do.

Because all you are doing is fooling yourself.

For those of you who say that I dont know what I am talking about. I have an ex...a "baby daddy" as some of you would say.
I went through a phase of hating him, wanting him dead...
Oh I will be honest about it.

But that was before I knew God.

Now I pray for my children's father. I cant hate him, because he gave me some of the most precious gift a man can give a woman....my children.

I love him. But I am not in love with him.

And I pity him too, because he missed out on some of the most precious moments in his children's life by not being their for them. But that's something he is going to have to deal with.
I can't say I love God and have hate in my heart for another human being.
I wont lie and say it doesn't hurt when a person wrongs you...
but keep your faith in God and know that if you are truly a child of God, He is going to take care of His. Believe that.
He said in Exodus 23:22 ... will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you.
In short, He is saying, "I got your back..You don't have to worry about a thing"
When your Father is the King of all Kings... He has all the power.
What He tell's you will happen. May not happen when you want it to, but it will happen.
You don't have to do anything. Just take your burdens to your Father God, in Heaven.... Leave them with Him ( because He does not need your help in anything)
And He will work it out for you.
But make sure He is your father. If you aren't living a life pleasing to God, He is not your father, think I am lying. Check this out...1 John 3:9-10
Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
Now go and think about some of the things that were said
You dont have to like it.
You don't even have to agree with me.
But just make sure you know who your Father is.
