JOURNAL/THE WILL OF GOD

LOVE isn't always easy-IN FACT-it almost NEVER is

"Jesus said-'BUT I say to you-love our enemies and PRAY for those who persecute you.....'"
Matthew 5:44

FEW teaching of Jesus is as hard as this one-and yet we are called on to BE OBEDIENT to the WILL OF GOD in our lives

Dear Lord-we pray to HELP US love our enemies as you love them-I HAVE found that the ONLY WAY to do this is to SEPARATE the person from the action

CONDEMN the actions-but PRAY that God will HELP the person to change

It is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in God'S LOVE for us and to TRY and be obedient to THE WILL OF GOD IN AND FOR our lives

THE WILL OF GOD










How do you know
If you are doing
The will of God


Something is troubling you
And you are suffering
And you know
Not what to do


It may be health related
Praying for a miracle


It may be financial
Maybe you just lost your job


It may be
A broken relationship
That no matter how hard that you try
You just can’t seem to restore it


How do you know


If your suffering is God’s will
I don’t know
Can’t answer that


But I can tell you this


In 1 Peter 4, it says,
“If you suffer
It should not be
As a murderer or thief
Or any other kind of criminal
Or even as a meddler


However
If you suffer as a Christian
Do NOT be ashamed
But PRAISE GOD
That you bear his name” 1 Peter 4:15 & 16


You may NOT even see it
How it helps anyone
But it just may be
For the GREATER GOOD


The will of God---
How do we know
---If we are abiding in it


One thing I do know
Is that
If you are trying
To live by the standards of this world


Sexual lust---materialism---violence
That that Is NOT
THE WILL OF GOD


“Do not conform
Any longer to the pattern
Of this world
But be transformed
By the renewing of the mind


Then you will be able
To test and approve
What GOD’S WILL IS-------------
HIS GOOD, PERFECT AND PLEASING WILL” Romans 12:2


So HOW do we know
Really know
That we are really doing
The will of God


I do know this
If it is the right choice
If it is the right decision
It---your life---your decisions
Will stand the test of tine


“The world and its desires pass away
But the man who does the will of God---LIVES FOREVER” 1 John 2:!7


THE WORD OF GOD
THE WILL OF GOD


STANDS FOREVER
