Do Not Worry, Have Peace

Regardless of what it is, from something small to the biggest thing you could imagine doing, we are sometimes afraid, and we wonder what's going to happen.  It may be something from taking a test, to having a baby, to meeting the President of the US.  We think to ourselves, will we remember the right answers, will we say the right things, because you definitely don't want to say the wrong thing especially when it comes to someone of importance.  Than those who have the babies sometimes wonder will the health of my baby be good.  Than after everything is completed, everything is done, the test is over, and you pass, the meeting with that person of importance, goes better than you thought it would.  The health of the baby is better than the doctor's told you it would be.  I mention this today, because I went to my old high school, where I spent fifteen years, not that I spent fifteen years in high school but I went their from Pre-K through twelfth grade.  I had a meeting with the President and CEO of the organization over their to see if I could speak at a meeting or graduation, and thank God, the meeting went better than I thought it would.  So when your in a nervous situation, or your concerned about something coming up in your life, no matter what it is, remember this, do not be anxious about anything, but in EVERYTHING, by prayer, and petition, present your requests to God, and let the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.  Remember that when you prayer, regardless of what it is, He will give you Peace, in what it is that you are going through, and going to deal with in your life.

Forgiving Ourselves For Our Sins.

We all sin, and we all fall short of God's glory, each and every day of our lives, so why beat our selves up over it, we know that God has forgiven us for that sin.  How by sending his Son to die for our sins.  John, 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son for whosoever believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  We forget that God sent Jesus to come and die on that cross for our sins, so instead of asking for forgiveness, we condemn ourselves and beat ourselves up over it.  Though one thing we forget is, that we sin each and every day, whether it be by lying, stealing,  thinking, doing, or watching things we shouldn't be.  Yet we label the sins that we do or know we shouldn't from not so bad to the worst sin imaginable.  Why do we do that isn't every sin that we do, condemnable by death, and by dying on the Cross, which Christ did for us?  Yet we forget that Romans 8:1, says Therefore their is now no condemnation for those of us in Christ Jesus, 2. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.  Romans 3:23, says all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God.  Let us remember, that no matter what sin we do, maybe don't remember or forget that we did, God LOVES us, and will still forgive us for that sin.
