I believe in you now just shut the heck up. I am so tired of listening to you underestimate yourself all the time. If you dont have the faith in God like he does you I dont know what to tell you. I have the faith in God I just dont have the faith in myself. How am I suppose to get your opinion if you keep telling me to shut up? Maybe if you spoke sense I wouldnt get so dang aggravated at you. All you do is complain how bad your life is. I know but my life sucks. I have No J.O.B., no boyfriend, and I am so freaking tired of people trying to bring me down. Will you go to church with me this weekend? No Way!!! They all just look at me like I am some pity case anyway. When was the last time you went to church? Like...I dont know...maybe 2 no 5 no wait a minute it was a few years ago when I went to Aunt Macys wedding. No, I said Church. That was Church!!!! No that is a wedding held in Gods grace, there is a big difference between watching two people ask God to put two people together for life in the name of Jesus and attend church to learn about God under his roof. There is no difference! I sat in a pew with crosses everywhere and they said a sermon or a prayer or whatever you call them. See this is why I get so dang ticked off at times. Patience is a virtue an I am trying to have some with you. You certianly try my patience let me tell you. Tell you what, you come to church with me Sunday morning service and Sunday evening service an I wont Ever ask again if you dont like it. Just keep an I dont want to go to church. Just keep an open mind and come with me is all I am asking. Why? Because you love me. lol (Eyes rolling big time here) Okay but dont get mad if I pop in my ear phones. If you come you Cannot bring them. You have to give it 100% and just listen is all I am asking. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 nights later _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey, What am I suppose to wear? Can I just wear my jeans and tank top? I dont want to get up at 8 and get all dressed up to just sit there. You can wear whatever you would like. Cool cause I think it is dumb to dress up for sitting in a building doing nothing but listening to someone. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sunday Morning 7:30 am before church ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Ring Ring) I am on my way are you ready for me to pick you up I cant believe you talked me into this. Why would I let you talk me into getting up this early? Cant God wait? I mean seriously!?! You promised, besides I will be there in 10 to get you. Bye. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ at church at 7:45 am __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (everyone greets them as they come, welcomes them to a wonderful morning and they take their seats in the middle pews) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- Church has started ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Who is that guy in the front beside all those other guys and those 3 women? That is the preachers brother. Why is he sitting so close? Because he wants to make sure he doesnt miss anything said. He wants to give his family support and let God know he is there and because he wants to sit there I guess. You dont know do you? No I honestly do not know, I am not here to ask, I am here to listen. Everyone here is like my family and we all gather to listen under one roof to the words of God. UHGGggggg I am going to fall asleep I just know I am!!!! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Power of God Spoken: 2 Thessalonians 2 King James Version (KJV) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Silence During the morning service from them both at they sit and listen, then the ride home... _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I had no idea I could be stunned and speechless and not fall asleep. Why didnt you take me with you sooner? I mean, that was amazing I feel free!!! It isnt I havent offered it was you werent ready. What do you mean not ready, Gods words are so beautiful an inspirational! I just wish I knew how to accept Jesus in my heart. I want to learn so much more. Come tonight, you wont regret it. Why do I need to go twice in one day? Isnt once a week enough? Isnt that excessive, I mean I really enjoyed church and listening to to the preachers and singing the Lords praise but twice is a bit much. How do you handle going all the time???? You said you would trust me. Come againt tonight. If you want God to come into your heart, listen or talk to the preacher. I will think about it, but I will come mainly because I promised. That is good enough for me, see you at 6 sigh...okay. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Church that evening 2 Corinthians 12:9 New International Version (NIV)... ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you are new to here to our Church I would like to open you with open arms as God welcomes you with his heart. Our Church is Gods home where we gather to celebrate his life, the death of his only son to forgive our sins and for over powering love he holds in his heart for all of us. He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. I think the best thing to do is look to the story of Jesus and know what he did. He died for all of your sins, the big ones and the small ones. And when he went to the cross, he took your sins on it and shed his blood so that you might be forgiven. It is not pointless to want forgiveness, and it doesnt have to be fruitless to ask God for forgiveness. You cant outsin God. No sin is too big for God. Humans have a great capacity to sin. But no sin you do surprises God. He knew you would that is why he asked his only son to die on the cross for you. If in your heart you want God to come into your heart, you can sit in your seat and pray to yourself, you speak out loud or shout to the roof, you can come to the front and we will help you through it, we will help you pray all you need to do is bare your soul to God. If God is knocking on your door open your heart to him. Dont wait because now or later is never gaurenteed but Gods love is. Believe in Him. Ask Him to come in to your heart by faith, and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Open the Bible to the Gospel of John and read what God says about Jesus, about you, and about being born again. God will help you. He loves you. Jesus, I want to know You. I want You to come into my life. Im sorry for the things Ive done that have broken my relationship with God. Thank You for dying on the cross so that this relationship could be made right. I believe You are the only One who can do this. Only You can give me the power to change and become the person You created me to be. Thank You for forgiving my past mistakes and for giving me eternal life with God. I give my life to You. Please do with it as You wish. Amen. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Praising God is one of lifes precious moments. It shouldnt take a story or someone pressuring you into church to pick up a bible and read to celebrate in the name of Jesus. God is around us at all times. God is there to guide you through whatever is in your heart, to help you pick up broken pieces or to help you help someone else. There is no end to this short story because God doesnt need an ending, he needs a beginning in your life.
