Tell the truth!
Habakkuk chapter 2 verses 16-20.
"What profit was there in worshiping all your man-made idols? What a foolish lie that they could help! What fools you were to trust what you yourselves had made. Woe to those who command their lifeless wooden idols to arise and save them, who call out to the speechless stone to tell them what to do. Can images speak for God? They are overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath inside! But the Lord is in His Holy Temple; let all the earth be silent before Him."
What were you like the first moment you felt the peace of God touch you? Was it not such an amazing love, and joy?
God, our heavenly Father is waiting for people to stop their foolish struggles, with solving the issues that burdened them. God, through Jesus has welcomed us to come and live with the gift of His Holy Spirit.
The curtain was torn and the Holiest of Holy's. The place where God lives, is now open for all to come to. Now, we become the temple where God can reside, inside us. It is life with God and it all happens because of Jesus. When Jesus was alive, His whole purpose, was to tell everyone of the plans God has for all people.
Jeremiah said they are plans to give you a future and a hope. That is just what people need. Not to rely upon themselves but to rely upon Jesus to give them what God wants us all to have. Are you able to put aside your own doubtful feelings and accept the truth about God and who Jesus is?
God rubs against everything we have been living up to now. Jesus was mocked and even persecuted for the things He said. God is not asking us to commit a crime or hurt others intentionally. All He wants is for people to know He exists and to believe in His sovereignty and to honor Him as being our Creator and heavenly Father.
God has put aside His anger and has given Jesus as our Savior. It is through Jesus that our lives can change. To those who do not want to believe or even give God the opportunity to prove Himself, then they will be forever relying upon themselves and following whatever paths they take. They will deal with life's issues as they see fit.
When you come to know Jesus, you will be coming into the family of God. And there will be wisdom and peace and contentment. There will be an everlasting thankfulness for no longer relying upon yourself, but for God's love, for Jesus and His Holy Spirit filling you with praise. There are no obligations or heavy laden responsibilities, there is only your love and gratitude to God for Jesus.
It is that love and joy and success that others will see and want to be around. People who are lost from God and fight against Him are missing out on the most beautiful life a person could ever have. I was there for about 40 years of my life. I wish I had come sooner. I am here now. That was 20 years ago.
Thank you father for Jesus and you welcoming open arms ready to take in anyone who comes to You. 😊
Hebrews chapter 10 verses 19 and 20.
"And so, dear brothers, now we may walk right into the very Holy of Holies, where God is, because of the blood of Jesus. This is the fresh, new, life giving way which Christ has opened up for us by tearing the curtain---His human body---to let us into the Holy presence of God."
Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11.
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Mark chapter 7 verses 6-9.
Jesus replied, "You bunch of hypocrites! Isaiah the prophet described you very well when he said, 'These people speak very prettily about the Lord but they have no love for Him at all. Their worship is a farce, for they claim that God commands the people to obey their petty rules.' How right Isaiah was! For you ignore God's specific orders and substitute your own traditions. You are simply rejecting God's laws and trampling them under your feet for the sake of tradition."
