~A Thought On My Heart

I like to listen to christian music while I do my work in our little kitchen.  This is one of my favorite songs sung by my favorite christian family, Sounds like Reign.  I was just thinking this morning how people will hurt us so deeply, even those we would not think could do so.  The only one who will never hurt us is Jesus.  

When my spirit is wounded by a loved one, I think of how I myself have wounded those that I love in my past.  I think of the great mercy that Jesus has given me and His unconditional love even when I sin now.  I of course try my hardest not to sin, but we are all human and we have a sin nature.  I am reminded to forgive as Jesus forgave me.  To show love and mercy to our loved ones when they have hurt us and not return evil with evil.  As followers of Christ Jesus, we must learn from His example on how to treat others.  

So it is my prayer to anyone who reads this post, that we lay anything that is an idol (including any relationship) at God's feet and trust in Him.  We should know that Jesus will be with us through any storm we must walk through on this Earth.  

So the next time someone lets you down, remember to show the same mercy that Jesus has shown us so clearly.  

This was just a thought on my heart this morning.  I thought I would share in case it may help someone reading my blog.  God bless you and keep you in His loving care.  Hugs to you.  ~Juli
