When Life Pulls You Down'

When Life Pulls You Down ~

The forces of life can truly pull you down, but I feel with God & being Christ Like, we can all learn to love & care unconditionally for all His children…we cannot shut the lost out without looking within ourselves. For we all have skeletons & sin in our lives . We need to be open to struggles and be there for the lost. We need to remember that the one who matters most has not and will not ever shut us out…yes there will be moments of wanting to give up - but where would we be as followers of Christ…

God doesn't want anyone to be lost, but wants "ALL" people to come to repentance and turn to Him. - Acts 17:30, 2 Peter 3:9

I to feel like giving up - where would that put me…hard and bitter and is that what Our Lord God has wanted for any of us. How can we keep looking at the sin in another when we have sins within us. Yes in Gods Eye a sin is a sin. Harsh words to hear yes. But oh so true..

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
 - Matthew 7:3

Christ suffered because of others' sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all & was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God.

Where does that leave us? Are we being Christ Like? - We are called to be a Vessel of Gods Love & Mercy - ask your self “where would I be if God gave up on me?”

If we say that a person is not going to amount to anything, we are going against God’s Word and speaking the opposite of the Word. When we speak opposite of His Word, we are saying that we have given up on God and given into the god of this world, the producer of hopelessness.

“What is impossible with men is possible with God.” - Luke 18:27

If we give up on them and they have no Faith, God cannot move in their lives because He moves on Faith. Someone has to stand firm on his or her behalf. The one to stand in the gap is you and me, the born again believer.

What we all need, whether we realize it or not, is a trustworthy source of faith - a faith that would only grow over time, not be diminished or disappointed. Jesus stood strong for us. He never gave up. His love for us drove Him to the cross.

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." God loves sinners—He loves them right into His arms. Jesus Christ did not die for His friends, but for His enemies. He died for the unlovable and the unlovely. - Romans 5:8

Tough love & truth comes in many ways, and in this we can only Pray. This world we live in is hard yes…Jesus walked the same paths. And held true to his father…for he even forgave his killers…

'I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me.' - Matthew 25:40
