Forgiveness

Have you ever had someone that hurt your feelings by spreading rumors about you or went online and said cruel things about you that weren't true and it just broke your heart and you didn't know what to do? If your response is yes then don't worry because you're not alone. When I was in the eighth grade, there was a girl named Lauren, now keep in mind that we were friends before all of this chaos. What Lauren did to me was she went around spreading rumors about me and made all of my friends turn against me. So now, I would walk in the hallways without anyone to talk too me or to hang out with. In my heart, I wanted to get revenge on her for what she did to me but I realized that it wasn't worth it at all. I realized this because in the bible it says that Jesus was whipped, they put crowns of thorns in his head, which made his head bleed, and had bruises all over his body. But when they finally nailed him on the cross, right before he gaved up his ghost, he asked his heavenly father to forgive those people who nailed him on the cross because they didn't know what they were doing. Isn't that amazing! So think about it, if Jesus can forgive those people who bruised him and pierced his side while he was still hanging on the cross, can't we forgive those who has hurt us deeply?
I know that forgiveness is really hard and I'm with you on that, but if Jesus can forgive sins, can't we forgive those who have hurt us?  And one more thing. If you need someone to pray about it with you because it's really hard for you, you can go too your parents, friends, or a teacher that you have a close relationship with and ask them if they are willing to pray about it with you so that you can be forgiven of your sins because you have forgiven those people who have hurt you.

His blood poured out for us so that we may be where he is and the stripes on his back so that we can be healed of any sickness.
There is no question that Jesus doesn't love his children!!!!

What Does It Mean To Be a Christ Follower

To start of, I grew up in a Christian home and was raised by my parents who taught me to always put god first in my life because without him my life is meaningless. When I was a child my mom bought me a kids Bible with pictures on the other side of the page so that I can imagine what was happening through the pictures. The day that I truly understood what Christ did for me on the cross was the day that I truly surrendered my life to Christ because I wanted to be a part of his family and I wanted to live for him until the day that he calls me home. Being a Christ follower taught me to always put god first in my life no matter what because He's the only one who can save me and make all my problems go away. After I had finished my freshmen year of high school, I decided that I wanted to get baptized. Getting baptized was my decision because when my pastor announced it to the church I decided that I wanted to sign up to get baptized. Before getting baptized, my pastor approached me and

What If Your Blessings Come Through Tears

Hi sweet people:) As you all may already know I am a college student at Mississippi State University so I haven't had the time to blog but today I am so glad that I do  because I want to share with you guys today what God has been doing in my life lately. As you may see the title for this post is called, "What if Your Blessing Comes Through Tears" and I got this title from one of my favorite songs that I like to listen to. In this life that we're living we tend to go through some hard times that we tend to question God love towards us his own children. Some of the questions that we tend to ask him is, "why can't you may all of the pain go away"? "Why are you letting me suffer like this if you truly love me"? These questions are one of the most hardest things that we want God to answer but I know that if something happens it's because God wants to show us something to open our eyes clearly or he just wants to test our faith towards him.

A Christmas Post

Don't Forget Jesus Christmas is a special time To reflect on Jesus Christ, The wonder of His lowly birth Brings meaning to our lives There really is no other reason, We celebrate this day, The birth of God's precious son And the life, He willingly gave But so much seems to distract us In the busyness of our lives, We lose our focus in all the happenings, Not knowing, we leave out Christ We lose sight of the true meaning As we endlessly rush about, Trying to find that perfect gift, Seems to cloud our Saviour out We need to stop and reflect awhile, Remembering our precious Lord, His birth, His life and sacrifice And all that He stands for For though the world may celebrate, It seems, though, for other reasons, Let's keep in mind that Jesus Christ Is the true meaning of the season.
