Praise God!

[Rhyfelwr]

Last night I remember making a post somewhere here in which I mentioned my frustration at living in a society where sins such as homosexuality are so tolerated and even promoted, while being a Christian makes you an idiot.

And so when I prayed last night I asked God to fill my heart with all the wisdom and goodness of Jesus, and to help me to reach out to sinners and forgive them rather than hope to rid the world of them - it was after I read here somewhere about Jesus dining with sinners. And I really physically felt my heart fill with some kind of energy, like something I have never felt before. And I actually was crying, which is something I tend to not do, as I'm a pretty stoic guy. My heart felt so light afterward, its as if a weight was lifted from off it. I tend to worry about just about anything I can think of and get myself pretty worked up, I felt so much better after my heart had been feeling pretty tight for years. I know Jesus is in my heart and that he purges sin from me. Its like when people say they have a weight lifted from off their shoulders, I feel like that is the case with my heart.

Now that I feel I have really been doing my best to avoid sin for a while now, I can really feel God is coming closer to me, and I am as assured as I was when I first turned to him. Now I really try to live as God would want me to my faith is growing stronger and stronger every day!

So, Praise God! :pp

Amen, Praise God!

It's so amazing when we pray in accordance with His will, when He wants to do something in us. I pray that the Lord will give you opportunity to show His kind and strong love to others.

Thats good news Rhyfelwr I'm praising God with you.
Keep filling your hunger and thirst for Him, with Him, He will use you.

Jesus ate and shared His time with the lost and sinners where they gathered, not because they had something to offer or share with Him, but because He had something to offer and share with them.
Learning about Gods mercy and compassion for/to His creation is transforming and this same mercy is what He requires of us too !

Most people lost or living in sin are ashamed to go to where Gods children gather together because of their own reputation or appearance. Thats why Christ went in among them the (lost and sinful) and He shared with them where they the gathered together.
His children can and are instructed to do the same, we are at 'liberty' to reach out and shine His light with the love and compassion of Gods holy spirit in our presence anywhere, anytime and with anyone, in His name.... not only when they gather or follow after us, but also we are not to hesitate to go where they gather when we are invited, we are to reach out to them there, with what He has shared with us.
