It's the smaller things in life.

Hello there,
How are you?
I hope that your week in isolation is going ok.
I was talking to my friend, ands she feared that it will be like this till september.

I'm certian it won't come to that, but we must be prepared.

And accept people as they are.

Yesterday I was upset, about something said to me, and I just was so stuck.
It hurt, it really hurt.
I just couldn't love again, and going to this person and giving them a hug, was so painful. That I couldn't do it.

The person appolized this morning, and said that they were sorry.

And would we take the appology.
Of course we did and we are now here together.

And that is what it's like with Christ, he takes us back when we are less than perfect.

And he gives us hugs, and love that we need, even in the painful situations.

And sometimes we have to come to him with heart of repentence, not just for our family, but also for him. to be really sorry for what was done.

But it doesn't stop with family, being nice to them when there's hurt, is only putting a band aid on the solution.

We can't always fix the other person, we can't always go to them and tell them fix that attitude?

Even thought sometimes out of love we need to do so.

Take no delight in doing wrong, it says in the bible.

Wrong attidudes only let to self righteous and pride.

Jesus doesn't make lives hard, for a reason he doesn't delight in making it hard, or give you trials just to overcome them.

He's not out there to get you, or to make it harder than it is.

He loves you, he's not like a strict parent, with rules and regulations, and pulling your own weight.

Jesus comes to you freely.

Like a good parent, who loves their kids.
Take note of that, he really loves you so much that all he wants you to do is sit on his lap and just be held.


It's taken me a little while to get this, because it's the smaller things in life, that matter.

See if we give up now, and throw in the towel, what does that say about us?

We have no back bone, and we're not prepared to do the hard yards.

When we come to Jesus,  and we come to him with unbelieve hurt, he comes and just hugs us.

Because he really does see the tears, and knows the pain we go through.
He doesn't take delight, in a strict hand. and refuses to lift it.

First of all that's not his nature, and it would be impossible for him to do so.

I'm not a parent, but I have 2 girls that I give money to, now I'd be a pretty bad person if I just pulled out all stops, and stoped it without acutally telling them why.
I would never do that, I love my girls so much. and the lord gave me a dream vision that they lacked nothing and no disease will get my girls.

I'd be a pretty poor giver, if I just covered the bare essentials.

When in fact the Lord is wanting me to go deeper into him and supply all our needs.

The fact is, going deeper into Christ means, we're going to come up against it.
And it might be in our own families.

Most often it is.

Jesus is our councilor, when times are hard.
 he comes to us, when we need him and he holds us in hands.

Now when you're in hurt the last thing is that you want to be held, if you haven't been held for a while. and just pause and stop.

Being tough doesn't really cut the mustard.

It only makes us less want Christ, because we think we are strong by ourselves.

Jesus is the best parent around, because he does
