The Potter

We know the difference between right and wrong but sometimes we are good at convincing ourselves that the wrong we may be doing is alright. 

When we start off a sentence with I shouldn't say this or a thought with I shouldn't do that, it's a good indication that we shouldn't but we are really good at coming up with reasons why it would be okay.  If we do this enough, after awhile it just becomes a habit. I Timothy 4:2 tells us that we can have a dead conscience. 

Let us give God permission to mold us into the people He planned for us to be.

You are in My hands just like clay in the potter's hands (Jeremiah 18:6).  But You are our Father, Lord.  We are like clay, and You are like the potter (Isaiah 64:8).

                                                    


                                                      


Simply Put:

  Forgiveness Our biggest deterrent to forgiving someone could be that we think if we forgive them we are saying that what they did was alright. I googled forgiveness and this is what I found:  Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.  Forgiveness does not mean condoning or excusing offences. This is what the Bible says:  If you forgive others the wrongs they have done to you, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive the wrongs you have done (Matthew 6:14,15).                                                 Simply Put: Forgiveness frees the forgiver.

  Rejection One of the most painful human experiences is that of rejection. If you are feeling the sting of rejection and are thinking that no one understands, know that Jesus does.  John 1:11 tells us that He came to His own country and His own people did not receive Him.  On the night before His crucifixion, when He was arrested, His friends all ran away and left Him (Matthew 26:56). So let the one who has been there hold and comfort you and He will give you the assurance that when you open your eyes everything will be all right.  You will be assured that on the other side of the door acceptance is waiting.                                                                                  Sim ply Put: There is acceptance after rejection.

  Bell Let's Talk Now in it's 12th year Bell Let's Talk Day, which was held on Jan 26th this year, hopes to raise both awareness and money for mental health, with the goal of eliminating the stigma around mental illness, supporting organizations across Canada to help improve mental health care access, and funding research that could one day offer promising treatments.                                                         I shared the following on Facebook during Bell Let's Talk Day last year.  January 28-2021 I wrote the following poem awhile ago but never shared it because...well just because. I am sharing it now because...well just because.                                                         Go...
