It hurts, but it’s more than worth it.

Things to discuss with Danny, Tim &/or Maggie.
- God causing vs. allowing things to happen
- “God equates his grace with his power; power that can be experienced only through human weakness” - what does this mean exactly? Is it saying that God’s power is shown clearly in that when it is shown when a person would otherwise be to weak to accomplish something or something else altogether?
“If the sheep know his voice then tell me what is the choice
For the ones who haven’t heard and have no need to rejoice
Father, help me understand
‘Cause I am just like him and Lord he’s just like me
We came from the same town and the same families
But now he, he just won’t understand
Please Lord open up his eyes
Can You open up these eyes?
And why?
I’m asking you why?”
This is what I ask all the time. I want my family to be saved. I desperately want them to understand and take joy in the fact that Jesus died and rose for us, but they don’t. And I don’t know why and it kills me to think they could die dead and never know the life and kingdom of heaven.
O Lord I am small, the dust of your universe.
Your eyes see all, Lord nothing leaves your sight.
In your wisdom, break my heart again tonight.
Draw me near you to give me your heart again.

I’m there through your heart-ache
I’m there in the storm
My love I will keep you by my power alone
I don’t care where you’ve fallen or where you have been
I’ll never forsake you
My love never ends

“Was Jesus tolerant?
Because if you study the Gospels closely you will see that he was tolerant of sinners, but not of sin. And he wasn’t at all tolerant of hypocrisy.
Those who don’t know Christ are not the enemy. They are victims of the real and invisible enemy. We must love hanging out with them and they should love hanging out with us.”
because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man who he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead. Acts 17:31
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall not thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal live. and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:35-40
