I am ashamed

This past week I went to see my mom and grandma. I had a wonderful time. I realized again how blessed I am to have come from these great women. Women of faith , prayer and love, always giving themselves away.......
I have always tried to value people for who they are,Not what they looked like , did or any power they had. I kind of even at times could be prideful about it. Well, I was confronted with how far I have NOT come, I saw someone who, when I was in school was not popular, not pretty ( the world standards,) Many made fun and ignored this person.... But this week, I was faced with myself and it did not look good. God reveled my ugly side . I am ashamed that I still , Even though, if i did not say it, I thought it!! But as I watched and listen to this person, I saw God's love and a person that has Joy beyond, what the world has to offer, someone who is dependable, hard worker, pleasant, sweet spirit, loves God, family and people. In a world where people are angry at everyone and their situations. She had and has some very good reason to be Bitter and she isn't... You can see Jesus all over her .... So as I face Jesus this week. I left a changed person. I pray that when people leave me, they are changed because they see Jesus in me!

The best gift

Tis' the season.. Weddings, Graduations and Babies Oh My!!!. So I go to my favorite stores trying to find the perfect gift... which most time I end up getting a gift card.. what is up with that? Why, when I want to get the perfect gift..Cause what I like, they may not , what I need ,they may not! So letting them choose seems like the best gift....
So what has God given me? The perfect gift, The choice, Jesus or not? To choose Life or death... He brought so much to the hill of Calvary.. He brought, love without boundaries, forgiveness and acceptance, and so much more..
What do I bring? Anything I have is not worthy of Him. What would He like for me to bring?
1 John 1:9- My sins... If we confess our sins, he will forgive our sins, because we can trust God to do what is right.. Trust him? with my bad habits, selfish moods, lies, binges and bigotries, failures and fears, He wants them all.. doesn't seem like a great gift.. but He is such a Great God who does what is right! He says that without Faith (trusting Him) it is impossible to please him.. so trust him today and step out in faith and bring your gift( all of it) to Him. He knows we can't truly live with them!
