Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.

Want to make the world a better place?

Act like Jesus.

It's seriously as simple as that.

Jesus is actually so awesome.
Check him out sometime.

You Won't Relent.

So I was listening to a song tonight on Youtube, called "I Exhalt Thee" by Jesus Culture. As I was scrolling down through the comments I read a line, and all it said was "You are loved by the most high God."

It came as a bit of a revelation to me, like, I knew that Jesus loves me, and all that. But the fact that God, who has everything, made everything, and knows everything still loves little old(young) me.

It really blows my mind that God, our most high God brought Himself to earth, to suffer like we do.
I've had many comments thrown at me, like "If God really loves me, then why did my father/mother/sister/brother die, He has no idea what I've gone through."

You know what?
God.Actually.Has.


He knows exactly what you feel. He knows the pain in your heart, he knows what you're going through, and knows what you will go through.
And you know why?

He watched His very own son sacrifice Himself on a cross. The pain you're feeling, God has felt it too.

I guess what the point is that I'm trying to get across is that God actually fully 100% totally and utterly understands anything that you're going through.

Remember,
God loves you.
He always has, and He always will.


God bless.

Miles.

Send us out.

I was thinking, just then about the fire and brimstone preachers around the world, saying that Tsunamis and Earthquakes and other natural disasters is God's punishment for our wrong doings.

I see it as an opportunity. An opportunity to reach out into the world and show people the love of Jesus by giving them the necessities to live... Shelter, food, and water. God provides for us, so why can't we provide for others? Is this not our duty as The Body Of Christ?

It baffles me why these guys are yelling at everyone saying that the 'end is nigh' and that 'God is punishing us for our sins' by sending a tsunami or making a earthquake.
They're not doing any good by telling the families of these people, that God killed their parents, siblings, sons, and daughters. They should be going to these places and saying to these people "Hey man, Jesus loves you. What can I do for you?" Just show them that Jesus is there for them and that He loves them endlessly.

It's just all about love.
Love over comes all.
Show people God's love and they will overcome all.

So I ask you, are you showing people God's love in every area of your life?

Love.

Unwarranted anger.

Why am I so quick to anger?

Sometimes I find my self in situations where I just get so angry and serious over things that really don't even matter.

I'm driving the people I love away from me.

I don't understand why I get wound up over such small things.

I've been asked many-a-time to try and stop being so quick with my tongue and my body language, but It's so hard to stop something that is so ingrained in my soul...

So how do I fix this?
I've got no flipping idea.

But I'm relying on God to get me through.

Grace: the freely given, unmerited favor and love of god.

As I sit here in my chair, after a long day of work, I'm contemplating all of the things that I've done in my life; things I'm not very proud of.
They run through my head like credits on a blockbuster screen, one by one. Almost never ending.

But then I stop and think: "Why am I worrying about all of these things? These wrongs that I've done?"
I will never have to worry about that long list ever again.
Jesus wiped that slate clean and I am declared free.

God's love and grace is amazing and everlasting.
I sometimes think of it like this:
If I was to hit you in the face, unwarranted, and unprovoked. But then I apologised you would probably accept my apology. Yes?
But here's the catch, I keep doing it.
Hitting, and then apologising over and over again. It'd get annoying hey?

And here's why God's grace is so amazing.

We replace God with you. My hitting is my sin.

Over and over again, I ask for God's grace over my life, and he gives it freely. No fine print, just free. He just keeps giving and giving, with no hesitations.


I continually sin, we all do. We offend God by sinning, but His love is so deep and his grace so wide that we can just ask for forgiveness at anytime and it is instantly given. None of this 'falling to your knees and begging for forgiveness' junk. All It takes is: "God, I know I've stuffed up, but I just ask for your grace in my life, and that you free me from sin."

It's so simple...
It's amazing.
I love the fact that we can just say that and every thing is gone. Our slate is wiped clean, and we are made holy.

We don't deserve God's grace, but he still gives it because he loves us.
The small effort we make to say that one sentence makes all of the difference in the world.
God is our friend, not our enemy; so why wrong him?

On another note:

People seem to think that being a christian is just "Ugh I'm a sinner, I better go and repent or something" It's so much more than that; It's about loving God because He loves us. It's about the fact the God sent his own son to die for us. It's about this amazing fulfilling relationship we can have with our creator. But one of the biggest things in my opinion is loving others. How can people see God's love if we cannot even love our selves?

Have a think about it.

It's 1am, so I apologise for my erratic and unstructured writing style.

God bless, and I hope you're all having a wonderful sleep.

A change of seasons.

I started this blog for a reason.

I want to journal my walk with Jesus and show people that God is not a God of hate or spitefulness, but He is a God of love a compassion of the highest order. I go to THE best church in the world. The people are amazing, and their hearts for worship are unmatched.

Love you all.

I got a word form God this week, saying that a new season in my life is coming; and boy do I need it. A new season is probably the most welcome thing at this point in my life.

So I'm going to try and update this as much as I possibly can as my life progresses.

God bless.
