Was That You?

Help me believe without a doubt that you are my Lord & Savior. Let me feel your complete love and help me live my life in your footsteps Jesus. I give my all to you and I open up my heart and mind to your love and knowledge. Don,t ever let me fall back on my faith because it is the most important request that I ask. Please never let me forget that my worries here are just earthly in nature and have no bearings on my confidence in you. 

I know you don't judge me but there are so many times that I judge people and form an opinion on them and take for granted they are not worth my time when I don't even know the least little thing about them and what made them the way that they are today............then I stop and think. What if this person that I am snubbing is Jesus in disguise, testing me? Who are am I or anyone else to say that this could never happen? Jesus may be walking this earth in any form that he wants if he truly wanted to. He might have been that dirty, toothless man standing in front of Walmart begging for money, you never know. Or he might have been that new guy at your work that needed help , but you just walked by him because someone of your  years of seniority can't be seen doing something so not worthy of yourself , you never know.

 Or you might have been that guy who stopped and helped me when my truck was broke down along the road. You gave me a ride to a garage and while they were working on it , you took me out and bought me lunch and wouldn't accept a dime for everything that you've done. I'd like to think that one was you Jesus. 

You never know, any of these people might have been you. We all run into people everyday of our lives that need help in some ways and when we just walk by them, how do you know for sure that it's not Jesus in disguise testing you? You Never Know. 

"Was It You, Lord?"

And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you? And the King will answer them, "Truly, I say to you , as you did it to one of the least of these, my brothers,  you did it to Me." Matt 25:39-40

Stay Sober For the King

Stay Sober For the King

Once again I am outside here enjoying this day of many days that the Lord has given us. It's sort of weird that in my drinking days I never cared for hot days like today , but now, I really don't seem to mind them, in fact I love  them. 

And also, in my drinking days I really hated cold weather as well , but they also are days that I have grown to love as a sober man. Come to think of it, any day I woke up in my drinking days was just another day for me to hate, no matter what the temperature was outside or in.

 It seems nowadays though , every new day that I wake,  I can always find another different  reason why I am grateful to be sober. 

Every day that I can write to people I love & care for is a good reason. Every day I go to work, (and actually like it) is a good reason .

 Every morning I wake up & don't have to worry about when I'm going to get my first drink of the day is a great reason. 

Mostly, every day I can walk in Gods glory and praise his greatness is the best reason for being sober. 

Stay sober for the King ! That is the motivation behind my abstinence. 

Do I really want to be drunk when I stand before the Lord in judgment? What a sad day that   would be, so, "Stay Sober For The King".

Thank you for letting me share with you and try to stay cool,,,,, or hot if you like it.

God bless you.
