" RECONCILED TO GOD "

Well here we are again, another week has come and
gone and I'm very excited to be with you. It is my
intention to give my Lord and my God the Worship and
Praise that He deserves. When I look at what others are
going through around the world, I say a prayer for them
then I thank the Lord for blessing all in my sphere of
influence. Being reconciled to God is essential in life.

In my opinion we must be vigilant about the things
of God. Please understand that ruptured relationships
can truly impede our relationship with the Father.
Also take note, if and when you have a problem or
complaint with a friend, we should resolve the problem
as soon as possible. We are being fraudulent if we
claim to love God while we have unforgivingness and
hate for others. Just so you know, our attitudes
towards others reflect our relationship with the
Father. (23) " Therefore if you are presenting
your offering at the altar, and then remember
that your brother has something against you
(24) Leave your offering there before the altar
and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and
then come and present your offering
(Matt 5: 23-24).

Be reconciled to God, and all in which he stands
for. Are you connected, I mean truly sold out to
Christ? GOD BRINGS US BACK TO HIMSELF
(Reconciles Us ) BY BLOTTING OUT OUR
SINS AND MAKING US RIGHTEOUS.
Because we have been reconciled to God, we have
the privilege of encouraging others to do the same,
and thus we are those who have the " Word Of
Reconciliation". If someone says " I love God,"
and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one
who does not love his brother when he has
seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Reconciliation means reestablishing relationship.
Christ has reconciled us to God and to others. Many
barriers come between people-race, social status, sex,
personality differences-but Christ can break down
these barriers. Jesus Christ can transform our most
hopeless relationships into deep and loving friendships.

We should be receptive to those who want to make
peace with us. When God's influence in our lives
attract people-even enemies-we must take the
opportunity to reach out to them with God's love.
Always be open to Reconciliation.

Until Next Time...
