Horrible or Human?

A question that came to me today, one that we may not actually come across very often knowingly, but also one we come across very frequently. On a daily basis we see "horrible" people, maybe its someone on the news who's committed a murder or led a robbery.Now your probably thinking, "wow what a horrible person to have done that." Are they really horrible people though? Or rather horrible actions? All humans were created in Gods image, then when the first act of sin occurred, the original product so to speak got tainted. Even after that however, we were all created in Gods image so to say that people are "horrible" is like saying God made a mistake somewhere... God doesn't make mistakes, he does however give us a choice. Our choices as human beings can be horrible and our actions that result from those choices can be horrible. So when you really think about it, theirs no such thing as a horrible person but rather horrible choices and actions. No one is truly horrible, some of us may be lost or searching, some of us haven't found God. Some of us have done some horrible things but that doesn't have to be the end, there's a chance for redemption, a chance for salvation to still occur. Are we going to be a people that call others of our kind, other creations of our God "horrible". Or are we going to be a people that sees someone who may have gone wrong somewhere and tries to help them, be the light among the dark in there life. If we love God, then we should love all he has created. If we don't love all he has created , then how can we truly love him? Instead of immediately calling someone horrible, lets remember that just like us, they are human. They might have made some mistakes along the way or done some horrible things but no person is "horrible". Lets make it our duty as followers of Christ to love all he has created and therefore not only strengthen our love in him but maybe be blessed enough to have the opportunity to show others his love as well.

The fire

  A thought came to me today as I stumbled upon some inspirational posts. Why are we often so eager to escape our troubling circumstances. We get trapped in the fire and get so focused on getting out that perhaps we miss the most important question of all, what refining needs to be completed in the fire? Just as a welder uses the fire to shape and refine metal, so God uses our circumstances, "fires" to shape and refine us. If he simply swooped in and saved the day, we would lack the knowledge he hopes us to gain, we wouldn't grow in character or wisdom. In the fire we think he abandom us, left us to our own devices, but in reality he is more present in the fire even then in the calm. It's when we feel abandoned that he's calling to us the loudest, beckoning us to just open our ears to listen to his voice. Take the fires in stride, don't immediately reach for the extinguisher. Allow the flames to surround you with the confident knowledge that the one whom the...

Be-You-Tiful

Hey Ladies<3 This post is specifically for all my ladies out there, we often hear the word "beautiful" in many ways. Its often used when we see someone we find prettier than ourselves in our eyes. We feel like we don't measure up because we aren't the "perfect or ideal" weight, or maybe we aren't using the super expensive makeup that someone else is. People in general are self conscious but we as woman get the brunt of it. We constantly try to be the "ideal" for someone else, its like a constant battle to be someones idea of beautiful. So much so that we forget to focus on our own idea of beautiful. We wear uncomfortable cloths, go on massive diets, and try to learn the impossible eye liner tutorials so that we feel like we measure up. We get so caught up in the worlds idea of beauty that we loose track of what we think is beautiful and what is spiritually beautiful. Some think that beauty comes from how much you spend on your appearance ,b...

Identity

I must first apologize to all of you , my readers for the long gap in between blogs. This summer has been insane and while I am not one to share my own personal life, I believe there were lessons learned and wisdom gained this past summer in which I would like to share with all of you. So all my teens and even parents out there, this ones for you.     Growing up is hard, especially in today's world with so many constant influences trying to tell us who we are and who we should become. It's a struggle among these influences to find out who you are now and who God wants you to be in the future, it's a constant question of if you made the right choice, if your going the right direction, and sometimes it feels as if there is purely no direction in any way you look. It can feel as if God is no longer leading you, and if your like me, that feeling is scary. I want to give you wisdom tonight that God is with you, I know for a fact because he stayed with me even when I couldn'...
