Who Made You God

    I find a lot of times, we have to ask ourselves, who made you God? I've been on both ends of the issue. Lives are taken daily by people, who feel it's their right. God is the only one that should make those decision. I have a major pet-peeve when folks say, "well it's their time." No their time has ran out because of the stupid choices some people have made. Someone dates your old girlfriend/boyfriend, you don't go and shoot them. I'm a wrong to voice my opinion because wrong is wrong. Sin is sin, there are no levels, it just is.

      I feel, I've never killed a person so I have a right to voice my opinion. Hold on but I've dated the dope man. A man who pushed tiny little killers on the street. Folks kill for it, rob for it, leave their children hungry for it, and do some ugly things once they get it. So I'm not guiltless but the grace and mercy God. I could think of a million things to talk about but why not talk about situations that I've been through. I find it is easy to cry the blues about what folks have done to you but what have you done to folks. I once didn't have any type of relationship with my dad. I was so angry at my dads drug addictions, an addiction is an addiction, point blank.

     It's easy for us to judge and point fingers at others who we feel fall short but what about our short comings. I was addicted to alcohol, that was my selected poison. That's why when people turn their nose up because they feel, "I think I'm better then them" when I say I don't go out. I could go wherever I please. I believe God gives us wisdom and if he delivered me from drinking, why would I be in a club or bar. People need to realize, we have to know ourselves because the devil knows our weaknesses. So in all, after The Lord delivered me, I could understand the fight and the hell my dad goes through every time he makes a effort to be clean. I can also see where he goes wrong but instead of fussing and pushing him away, I listen and pray for him. I told him, once GOD delivers you, you will be free and your not going to care what any of us think. When family throw your past up, you won't run back out and buy no drugs, you will smile and say but God. We run from our faults, retreat when our past is brought up but God.

     How is it so easy for the church family to forget, our father is one so we are all linked. More love, less bickering and yes less bickering. There is a group of saint right now, ranting and raving over sinners sinning right now. Less talking, more praying. The sinners will sin. Let's be honest, EVERYONE sins daily that's why you pray for forgiveness when you wake up and you pray for forgiveness when you go to sleep. I'm always telling people to be kind and to love. Be kind because you and me, we are all fighting something. Our mouths can push folks away from God just with our attitudes alone.

     You are NOT God, you can't sit around and pick whose flaws are forgivable or whose soul is worthy of being reached out to. Stop playing God saints, our job is to reach out to everyone, near, far, high, and low. I find it humorous that when damage is done, folks rather remain blameless. People ride around on their "high horse" putting down sinners and other church folks. They wouldn't dare clean their mirror off because then they would see what we all see. Your not on no horse, your standing there just like all of us, trying to get this thing right and make heaven your home. That's why I thank God for being in a church where I know he sits upon the pastor. I remember going through all types of hell and I remember being invited to church by about five people.lol. I have hundreds of Christians on my Facebook page, well correction "people that go to church". I'm okay with that now because I'm where I need to be. No, I'm not discrediting anyone that's in church but the Bible states you will be known for your fruit.ijs.

     People will beat you with the Bible, turn their nose up at you, all while sending your soul to hell before you die, shame on you. We are NOT God but in some people lives, we might be the only God they see. How do you want people to view our savior? What we as a church family have to realize is some people have a bad taste in their mouth because of some of us. It's not up to us to say, well it wasn't me or I didn't do it but we are a family. So ALL of the body of God needs to band together and get to fixing things and showing love. God wasn't nasty or fussing among his disciples so why are we. The way the world is going now, less judging, more fasting and praying. Why do folks in church have to be asked to pray and fast now days. You mean y'all don't feel it in the air, when your driving, sometimes when you sleep.

     That yawning for souls that are lost and dying daily. Before you can have a revival, your connection with God must be revived. Reach out to someone today. I'm always so emotional when I talk about God because I'm so grateful, that he hand-picked me. I didn't even talk about God or much less listen to people talk about him. He saved me, now I serve him. He loves me, so I love all of you. He has shown mercy and grace to me daily, why would I not show mercy and forgive you. He forgave us ALL first. Now, let's share his word, let's love, and allow God to be God. Through him ALL things are possible don't discount anyone because their sin is different from yours. He died for them too.

Sidebar: There is a thine line between Opinions and Judging- are you speaking life with your opinions or killing with judgement.

I thank all of you for taking the time to read my thoughts, my prayers are that we all make heaven our home. Blessings and love you all of you
