On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

Believing in your chosen truth does not make it truth

Believing in your chosen truth does not make it truth.

An acquaintance at work was talking to me about what she believes. She takes a little bit of this and a little bit of that and the result is what she believes about God and about herself. She'll be reincarnated and continue in reincarnation until she figures out what she needs to know - until she gets it right. Jesus is all right and God is loving.

Mostly I'm speechless. I mean, I did say something to her and try to talk with her but I don't know if I got through. I think one of my first comments was that, what you just said is not what is contained in the Bible or any other religion but it is a mishmash. I tried to be kind but I said something along the lines that you are making up a god and no god would be happy with that. There is but one god and He is written about in the Bible and there are lots of resources where you can learn of Him. I love my church and would love for you to come. I mentioned our Bible study and radio.

She isn't interested. I haven't given up hope but she doesn't really talk to me anymore or look me in the eyes. She is on my list of prayers for people to come to know God. Which brings me to my next subject . . . how in the world to pray for people to come to know God? I keep saying "Let them come to you." Which is stupid on my part. God has done everything so that people can come to Him. I need better wording!

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
  • God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
  • God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
  • God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
  • God please guide the leaders of the world.
  • God please heal my children.
