@KellyMonroeCute We'd keep it casual, starting with a trip to the coffee shop. Take a stroll by the lake, either have a picnic or go to the bar & gril. Catch a movie at the drive-in. You're a pretty one. 🥰
@BoCamaro I have brought shame upon myself, I deserve it after what I've done. I don't know how to lay it at His feet. Please pray for me. My heart & spirit are broken. 😔 😟
Wanna hear some hard truth that will make somepeople VERY MAD that I speak it?????
Jesus didn't say, "Stop drinking and come to me."
He didn't say, "put down the needle and come to me"
He didn't say, "Stop being gay and come to me."
He didn't say, "Stop sleeping around and come to me"
He didn't say, "Stop hurting yourself and come to me"
He didn't say, "Stop hating yourself and come to me."
What did he say then?
In Matthew Chapter 11 he made it clear as day...
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Notice his FIRST WORDS were "COME TO ME".... these rest of it happens after that.
If you are trying to fight your battles to become perfect before coming to Christ, you will never get there. And he knew that.
He is telling you to bring it all to him. All of it. Lay it at his feet and he will help you. He will help you put that needle down. He will help you pour that bottle out. He will help you learn to love yourself and heal that emptiness that you need to fill with whatever vice it may be. He will help you deal with terrible sin from you past. He will help you learn to love yourself.
Modern religion has twisted his words to make it feel as though you have to be perfectly clean to enter his house, and maybe you do to entire THEIR house...
But Jesus spoke those words for you to hear. Plain as day.
Do not fear bringing it to him. He is waiting for you to give but a single ounce of faith. He will take the rest.
I drove a few miles and walked into church without even a dollar store Bible in my dirty hands, and he grabbed ahold of me and took it ALL away. He hasn't let go since. I wake up thinking about him and what has happened. I go to bed thinking about him and what has happened. I took one step, and he took the WORLD off of me. I gave an inch, and he gave me his KINGDOM.
Take that step, if you feel you need it. A better life is on the other foot.
@JustJenRX The Bible says it very clearly: In the last days, deception will ramp up—through false teachers, false signs, and a general turning away from truth.

AND THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHY YOU BETTER NOT STAY HOME ON ELECTION DAY.
Today has been a rough day I was at TJ Maxx today and heard a loud crash and something shattering. Being nosy, I walked towards the sound and saw some people whispering and looking back to the end of the next aisle. When I walked down that aisle, I saw that an older lady had hit a shelf and many things had fallen to the ground and broken. She was kneeling on the floor embarrassed, frantically trying to clean up. I felt so bad for her. Every one was just standing there staring at her. So I went and knelt beside her and told her not to worry and started helping her pick up the broken pieces. After about a minute, the store manager came and knelt beside us and said, “Leave it, we will clean this up.” The lady, totally embarrassed said, “I need to pay for all this.” The manager smiled, helped her to her feet and said, “No ma’am, we have insurance for this, you do not have to pay anything!” If you have read this far, give me another minute.
Wherever you are, close your eyes, and imagine God doing the same for you! Imagine the broken pieces of your mistakes or the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows life has thrown at you all over the floor and you’re there trying to collect all of the pieces and fix them yourself. Now imagine God comes and kneels right down beside you, smiles and says to you, “Leave it all there, I will clean this up for you.”
He loves you that much and wants to put all of those pieces back together if you will let Him! With Him we have this insurance and it’s called GRACE! It’s free! All you have to do is ask Him to forgive you, help you, and to heal you. He’s faithful, I promise!
