Prayer for 6/6/16
When you live away from urban areas, and reside at a higher elevation, the sky is an incredible blue. White, cotton ball clouds float lazily across this azure sea. It wraps you into its beauty, and you feel as though you could soar over hill and dale just like the hawks who glide up and down across the sky. The trees are such a vibrant green, everything is so alive, so in tune with each other. Dear Lord, that is how we should be - in tune with one and other.
Someday, Lord, someday we will look at each other and see a brother. "Politically Correct" will be a 'Pile of Compost.' What a glorious day that will be. There will be no more night, the Bible says so. When you live in the Light of the Lord, how can anything be dark? We will listen to the haunting music of the heavenly choirs. We will have new bodies, no more sickness, no more pain. I needed You, Lord, You heard my spirit cry out. What a blessing!
The next time you feel angry or upset, sit down and begin to pray. Soon, the dark spirit hovering over you will have to give way to the light, and you will smile and feel the joy of His presence. It is a new day, enjoy the life you have been blessed with, be grateful for the fact that you are a child of the God, the Holy One. Thank You, Lord, in Jesus name I pray. Amen

Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven – for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” –Luke 7:47, ESV
How do you explain to a child that’s never been to the ocean what waves are like? You might fill a bathtub with water and splash it back and forth. That could teach action of waves – but what about the look? You might take the child to a nearby river with a few rapids, and show them how the foam collects at the bottom of a fall “like on top of a wave.” You might show them a 4x6 inch photograph. You might try to show them what waves sound like with a conch shell. But what about their vast dimensions along the shore? What about their unending nature? What about the undercurrent of a wave going back to sea?
No substitute can convey the scale and true nature of waves continually breaking on the shore. No analogies or to-scale models prepare children for their first trip to the beach. They can’t grasp the greatness until they’ve seen it for themselves.
Have you seen the greatness of God’s forgiveness yet?
No measure of teaching, preaching, and analogizing can make us really grasp what God’s forgiveness means. Even after we reach adulthood, we’re still creatures of experience. It takes a firsthand experience – recognition of how vast our sins really are – before we can appreciate how vast God’s mercy is to cover them.
Jesus gave Simon the Pharisee the example of two men who owed another money – one owed him five hundred days’ wages, one owing him fifty. The moneylender forgives both debts, but, as Simon empathizes, the one forgiven the larger sum has a greater reason to love the one who cancelled his debt. But all Simon heard were the Jesus’s words. He failed to realize what a vast stretch of sand he stood on, and what a great tide it would take to overtake all of those grains of sand. As a result, it’s the woman Jesus recognizes for her great love of her Savior.
Intersecting Faith & Life: Is it possible that we can extend love and forgiveness if we don’t understand how much Christ has shown us? Take your own “beach trip” and survey the vastness of God’s incredible forgiveness that covers incredible sin.

If any of us particularly me, were to be judged only on what we have done, hell for ever would be our "just reward" Our God is forgiving, something we should try harder to do with each other for those who ask to be forgiven, and those who don't, as long as we try to not repeat the sin. for those who ask forgiveness but have no intention of changing their ways, even God will not forgive, thus Soddem and Gamorah.

When it comes to sin, not one of us deserved our Savior dying, and such a horrible death to boot. When He can love us so much, and forgive us - who are we to not forgive our brother?
