AS IT IS=OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES

 

 

 

 

 

AS IT IS=OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES

 

Jesus came to RESCUE people=

Who=at times=were there own

WORST ENEMIES=

Like all of us

 

We all have had MOMENTS=

Like the Sanhedrin=who were

ATTACKING someone good and kind

 

Stephen=whose FACE shown like and ANGEL=

We all have HURT=at one time or another=have HURT someone

Who was TRYING to help us

 

At times=we CAN BE

Our own worst enemies

 

“Remove from me

The WAY of falsehood

 

And favor me

With your law”                                                                                                                                         Psalm 119:29

 

We can get stuck

In self-deceit=ONLY

By the INTERVENTION

Of God=can we see

THE WORLD as it is

 

I don’t know about you

But I NEVER want to

Harm anyone=but I can THINK

Of a few instances=where by accident

I have HURT someone CLOSE

 

We are sometimes=our own

WORST ENEMIES=we are the enemies

WHOM Jesus calls us to LOVE

 

“Do not touch

My anointed ones

 

Do my prophets

NO HARM”                                                                                                                                 Psalm 105:15

 

“Do not plot harm

Against your neighbor

 

Who lives TRUSTFULLY

Near you”                                                                                                                     Proverbs 3:29

 

“Love does NO HARM

To a neighbor

 

Therefore=love IS

The FULFILLMENT of the law”                                                                                            Romans 13:10

 

I NEVER want to harm anyone

I=ONLY want to love them=

Want what is BEST for them

 

The SAME as Jesus

 

Jesus is everything that we NEED

He is our HOME at heart

He is our mercy=and

He is our patience

 

He is MY LIFE=he is

Even more REAL than

The life we are LIVING

 

“For my flesh

Is REAL food=and my blood

Is REAL drink”                                                                                                                            John 6:55

 

LIVE your life the BEST

That you can=AS IT IS

 

And if you HURT someone=

You CARE about=even if it

Is yourself=FORGIVE YOURSELF=

And forgive OTHERS

 

For NONE OF US ARE PERFECT=and

SOMETIMES we are OWN

Worst enemy

 

In Jesus’ name
