once at bible study we came across a subject of why it is a sin to worry. ask yourself why is it wrong to worry in life. god doesnt want you to worry or be lost. god wants you to have a peace in mind that he will catxh you when you fall. if a little child was trying to learn how to fish would your catch him a fish to eat or would you teach him. if your teach and show that child everything then he will never learn so sometimes in life when we think god doesnt listen to us when really its the opposite. if you want to grow more patient wouldnt he have an annoying person be your roommate. god has an image for you and you have to have faith that he will provide for you if you willl meet him half way then he will come through. so why is it a sin to worry? i cant do this or ill never make it in life or ill never make enough. if you have faith in god then you wont worry. if you worry then your faith in god isnt there. faith is underestamated it can be very strong, and it helps out the most when you have nothing or when your in the darkest place in your life. faiith is truely the light in the darkness. when you have faith sometimes you have no idea how your going to make it through or whats going to happen to you but you dont worry because you have faith. its helped me out so much and it can help out anyone. faith is strong and wonderful that you know your maker is going to take care of you if you have faith in him. he has a plan and there is a reason for everything he will take care of you. when you in the deepest ditch black hole there is a light and a way. so if i fall down and hit my head will i wake up? most likely if i get knocked out ok so what im going to wake up and ill be ok. or if im in debt and i have no money to pay it off. its ok try your best do what you can do. if you cant pay it off whats going to happen ok credit will go down youll go to jail but then what? no matter what your going to be ok dont worry god will take care of you
god is trusting

Mercy and forgiveness
what is mercy? what is the definition of mercy. what about forgiveness? how do you know when it is to stop to forgiven someone. we forgive someone when someone maybe drinks your orange juice or uses the last bit of cream cheese. what about a person who is raped or someone murders your child do you forgive someone then? now the definition of mecy is compassionate treatment of or attitude towards an offender. in this case mercy that jesus shows us is an ocean of forgiveness because as sinners we do not deserve gods love because of how we are as human beings and to show us how to be and to show us how to love by his only son living, dieing and riseing from the cross shows his love in itself. now god is very loving towards us and he forgives us for our sins if we ask for forgivenes and if we are sorry in our hearts he will forgive us. if god can forgive me for my sins then i can forgive others who have sin against me because think about it. god doesnt want none of us to hate each other he wants us to love each other and to be kind to one another. if everyone held a grudge on every sin or wrong weve done to one another then the world wouldnt change. because thats what we do now in days is we hold grudges against each other and some people have hate towards each other. if a person kills my mother, will i be vengeful? would i want that person to pay? yes naturally i would want revenge because thats my mother someone i love? but if i show hatred towards that person then what kind of a person would i be? what kind of an animal would i become no more better then the murderer himself. but i am equal to that person i should show forgiveness towards that person because god forgives me for my sins. god doesnt want me to have hatred in my life or want me to live my life in pain. he wants me to love and forgive my nieghbor who sins against me. matthew 18:21-22Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times
some people cant forgive people and sometimes only god can show forgiveness and mercy.
thats what makes god so great well one of the reasons is that he is merciful. it would be impossible to be perfect but were perfect in gods eyes if we fallow him. he is the only one who will love us more then anyone ever can. he accepts us for who we are because he made us. the thing is we have a choice. we do not have to believe in him we are not forced to love him or forced to believe in him. its our choice that we have to make.
now the next time someone sins against you or does wrong think how can i work with this person god wants me to love this person and not to live with guilt or pain in my life he wants me to love and live in his name. i am a sinner and i do not deserve his mercy but i believe in his son who raised from the dead who is the lamb and who promised everlasting life and he has forgiven me so i should be able to forgive this person. also if you forgive a person then as a person it looks good for you not to brag but if you seen a person being so forgiving it kinda gives motivation to be as loving as that person
God is stronger

Freestyle
So i was thinking of what to write this week and what to say and im just going to freestyle really. i mean so you see someone walk down the street and their a bum or they ask for spare change is usually what they ask now in days on the streets. one time i seen a person who was drunk asking for money and at first i turned my shoulder to him and thought to my self what if that person was jesus in disquise? what if he was testing me because really you have to believe that. you have to think or treat other people as if they were jesus because in the new testament. its talks about how jesus and his disciples were there and jesus comes to them and wipes there feet. ok it may sound dirty and nast but really if jesus kneeled down and wiped my feet i would cry because he is our lord and saviour i should be wiping his feet i should be catering to him. but jesus teaches us that in the bible it says no man is greater then his master nor is the one who sent him which means we are all gods children and we are all equal. im no greater then my boss and my boss in no greater then me. people now in days look at people and see a person drunk or a person without a home and are homeless think oh they are nasty and dirty people which is the wrong thing to do they are just as equal in gods eyes as you and me. and we need to do that. we need to see people as equal and as our "nieghbor" or our brothers/sisters because if we all took care of each other we would all be better. if i have 2 shirts when i only need one and my brother is freezing then why not give him the extra jecket. if jesus walked down the street naked and hungry im sure a plethora of people would feed and cloth him. we need to see people, all people as our own and people we love because thats what god wants us to do and be is to love one another and to love him above all else. we all at first are ignorant and assume of people that are dirty, poor and homeless when we should just view em as gods children and to see them as jesus.
For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40“The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
Matthew 25:35
