YESTERDAY'S COLUMN

Yesterday's column brought this to mind and I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you and as I share my thoughts, we want you to share yours with us.

It touched my heart and brought back all the pain and agony He had to go thru for us. It is my opinion that when we doubt or don't claim all that He has for us, we are putting Him right back on that cross. I am guilty of the doubts that come to mind and then I think, Oh no, get down, get down, I am so sorry. I can't even begin to think of the pain of having the flesh cut right off you and just hangin on by a thread. Then to think He did that for me. We have to become "as children" to enter into the Gates of Heaven. I can't help but wonder, and now think about this, you know the struggle you have with our M and I can remember them with my children, then when we don't do what He has told us to do, think how He feels about our fighting against Him. Oh, we do that some many times during the seconds of each day. But, then think about His forgiveness. Just like when our children tell us they are sorry, we tell them it is alright, we forgive them, BUT can we, like Jesus, truly forget? No, I don't think we do, not completely. We have to strive to become acceptable and how hard it is sometimes. Especially, when we are tired of it all. Think also, about the whinnying we have heard and still hear sometimes for our loved ones. Don't it work on our last nerve? What and how on earth or in Heaven can He stand it? We are His whinnying children and He loves, forgets, forgives and accepts us in ways that we can never comprehend. That is why I keep proclaiming HE IS THE GREATEST. He is my first love. I know there are people who don't believe me, but they can't see or know what is my heart. All they can see are my faults. He doesn't feel or see that things that way. That is why I am so looking forward to the study of Romans. It will show us just some of the ways of His Greatness and ability to take care of us.

I wrote this piece while sitting here one day talking to Jesus and He showed me, Yes, I really was a man in the flesh. I sat there thinking just how painful that beating had to be and the words flowed out of me onto paper. God truly did love us so much to give his son and Jesus loved us to have taken that beating and then step into hell for us to have eternal life.

God can speak and things happen. He wants us to realize just how much He does love us and the choice is ours. rECj

Jesus was a man.

True, He was placed within his mama thru the Holy Ghost. He did have more love within Him than we will ever have. But, I fully believe that He felt the pain of what He was going thru and it did hurt Him. Not only His physcial body but His precious heart as well. Even tho He knew that was His lot in life, I do wonder if He really knew just how bad it all was going to hurt. Think of the disappointment to Him when those 12 weren't even able to stay awake and pray with Him. At the end, didn't He pray, If it be thou will, let this cup pass from me? Human? You bet. There is no doubt in my mind that He is the GREATEST man who has ever walked and lived on this earth, EVER.

God's blessing to each of you,
