Ooof, Jesus puts the smackdown on those Scribes and Pharisees. He calls them out for what they are. “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?" Matthew 23:33 Jesus tells us to not be that person. The one who looks all shiny on the outside but are completely selfish on the inside. It reminds me of myself when I was younger. My heart was filled with things that only satisfied me. Most of the time I thought I was doing the right thing. How could I do the right thing when I did not even know what was right? I was led by my own ego. I was trying to play God making all of the decisions in my life. Trying to help others mostly never delivered the results I expected. I was the lost trying to save people. Where was I expecting to take them when I did not even know where I was going? I had no light.
I wanted to be there for people but I did not know what to give them. I had nothing of substance. When people lost a loved one I did not know how to acts. I knew I could not do anything for them at that time. I was not filled with gifts to give. I was filled with my own ideas.
Once I gave my life to Christ fully I was given a light. I could see. My eyes were opened and I cried at what a scumbag I was to everyone I knew. I was not helping anyone back then I was only hurting them. But, it is all different now.
I do not care what the world thinks of me so I will stand for Jesus. I will stand for the truth and pray that God will continually relieve me of my selfish thoughts and put love in my heart. Love is patient, kind, understanding, and does not boast. (1 Corinthians 13) Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you will take our selves out of our hearts and fill us with the truth. Help us to deny hypocrisy and lies that only come from Satan. Keep our focus on you so others may see that our transformation is real. That is was you who changed us and not anything else. I pray this in Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you everyone being here. I love all you guys. WWJD for Life! 🥰
