I need to have talks with my Father so I can grow. I need to learn from Him daily.

Talk To Father

Father we need to talk.

I stumbled in my walk.

What shall I do.

I need to talk to You.

Father I am at odds with my Christian kin.

I want to do them right. I don't want sin to enter in.

What shall I do.

I need to talk to You.

Your have taught me to come to You.

I know there's nothing I can't get through.

As long as I come and talk with You.

 Yes I must listen that is true.

So I can hear You will tell me what I shall do.

What A Child You Are

I'm hot, I'm tired, I'm hungry just as if  I were a child who just came in from playing hard. I am sweating, panting, and know if I drink a ton of  water right now I will ruin my dinner. Sometimes when I am hot, tired, and hungry I get cranky too. My husband comes home and he's hot, tired, and hungry and yes sometimes cranky too. It's almost at that moment like two children who are out of  sorts stepping into the same sandbox. We try to play nice together but because we are grumpy we both end up having to take a time out. Sometimes In my Christian walk I see me and my brothers and sisters in Jesus like a bunch of  children playing in a big sandbox. The world is the sandbox we are playing in and sometimes when we come together we are out of sorts and end up needing to take a time out. Sometimes we all get along so well together that you just know our Father (God) is pleased. When we are not getting along the Spirit is grieved and many of us feel hurt. But time out doesn't mean time to leave. My husband and I don't leave each other when we are grumpy. We just go off  a little ways and pray and wait for God to help us get a right attitude then we come back together and God helps us work it out. I don't leave my brothers and sisters in Jesus when I don't see things the same way. I  wait until I get home I pray and wait for God to help me get the right attitude. Then I go back and prayerfully wait, watch, and listen for the Holy Spirit to help me work it out. I want to do what's right and live at peace with all my brothers and sisters as much as it is possible. Anyway children run, stomp, or walk off when they are angry threatening never to play with so and so again. Thanks be to God I am growing up. I wait and talk to my Father and He helps me. Another thing I learned is never go to Father and blame some one or say I would never do that or be like that. For one thing it grieves the Spirit. For another thing it helps no one and it delays working it out. Father has taught me it's not what someone has done to me that matters it's what I am going to do about it that matters. How will I respond. Hopefully not like a child but more like Jesus. 

Love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12, And be kind to one another, tenderhearted , forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you. Ephesians 4:32
