Only Jesus Christ is Special!

No one is special, you are not special, I am not special we are all in need of a Savior!!!! No one measures up, only Christ is worthy!!!!

Romans 3:23-24 "…22 And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.…"

We are not special because of our talents or our outward appearance, all that is superficial and worth nothing. It is Jesus Christ Who is special, wonderful and perfect.

We love people because we love Christ. We do not love people because of their talents or appearances, We don't even love them for their good works, we love them because they are human beings that Jesus Christ died for just as He did for us.

What a freedom we have when love is not based on appearance or performance. Hallelujah!!!!!

How Much Do You Love God?

On the internet, over time, I have read many comments and articles written by daughters-in-law who begin their articles with "I Hate My Mother-in-Law."

Sadly I also read the articles by the mothers-in-law who are victims of their daughters-in-law. They are crushed emotionally by the disrespect and ill-treatment from their son's wives over the smallest matters.

This is so common now that after reading many of these articles I could only come across one in which a daughter-in-law stated that she loved her mother-in-law. Only one out of many was very disturbing to me, however, it explained just what is going on in our world today.

When we got married, even when we didn't agree with our mothers-in-law we treated them with respect. We appreciated that they were allowed to have their own personalities and listened with interest to their suggestions and instructions. Never did we ever snap back at them or demean them.

The selfishness of adults in our children's generation remains immature into their forties. When someone remains immature this late in life they don't ever seem to grow up into kind loving adults.

The only solution is for this rebellious and disrespectful generation to become born again. No growth will happen until they are changed in to a new creation by Christ.

Sadly, in the meantime they isolate the grandchildren from their grandparents, they "talk smack" against them to the grandchildren in an attempt to indoctrinate them into hating their grandparents as much as they do.

I am hearing more and more grandparents who are grieving over the loss of their child and grandchildren because of spouses who do not love the parents of their spouse.

This is to the young people; when you marry you take on the love of your in-laws the same as you love your own parents. If they are disagreeable people then you accept and love them just as they are, even respecting them just as they are. More often than not, the spouses parents are not disagreeable people they just think differently, they have that right.

If the parents of your spouse are outspoken, suck it up or better yet learn from them. This oversensitivity to correction or criticism is out of control now, so much so that one cannot even express a disagreement without a young person snapishly fighting back, as if to say; "how dare you disagree."

What do we do with all this knowledge about our generation? Its not quite as simple as one would hope because our emotions get in the way.

However, if our in-laws are evil or destructive to the marriage then you must remove yourself unless they become born again.

If it is merely a matter of disagreeing or difference of opinion we can respectfully love them. Giving them the right to be different from us, just as we expect others to give us that right.

Punishing those who disagree does only one thing, which is to cause unnecessary problems and momentarily elevate self to superiority. Other than that it is less than worthless, it is destructive.

Does anyone else understand where all this mess comes from? Yep, you guessed it, it comes from the devil who is working feverishly to destroy families. To remove the support system of the extended family as well as exclude the wisdom of grandparents from their grandchildren.

There is also jealousy involved, the grown children are so selfish they don't want their children loving anyone but them. They lavish toys on them, praise them continually and negate whatever the grandparents may say or do to prevent bonding.

My suggestion is to become so close to Christ that you do not need the extended family to feel loved or supported. Wonderful if you have it but if you don't God has something in mind for you outside of that family structure.

Christ admonished us to "hate our father and mother" and everyone else compared to our love for Him. In this modern world, we are to withdraw from those who treat us disrespectfully and move on to those who love Christ.

Matthew 10:35-40

35 For I came to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

36 and a person’s enemies will be the members of his household.

37 “The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 The one who has found his life will lose it, and the one who has lost his ]life on My account will find it."

We cannot follow Christ fully unencumbered if we are weighed down by unnecessary extended family drama. We can love our families from afar, pray for them even engage with them at times but they cannot be our constant companions if they do not love Christ.

Do not be dismayed when your children and grandchildren are not around you, Christ is within you, He is everything we need.

It is "co-dependency" to agonize day after day and year after year over the loss of those who do not love us. We need to let go of those who do not love God and who do not love Christ to engage with those who do love Him.

John 13:15 "…34 A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are My disciples if you love one another.”

John 14:15-17

15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."

Those who reject you, love them anyway by prayer for them. Keep as your constant companions those who love Christ, they will encourage you to walk more fully with Him.

The Dream I Had This Morning

I had a dream this morning! This dream did not tell me of events to come, rather it gave me a principle about modern-day events and why we see the destruction of families in our day.

In the dream my husband and I were in a man's house, we had come for a visit. The man and his wife knew my husband and I were coming. Because of the contempt of the wife for us, she left before we arrived.

The man we came to visit didn't offer us any refreshments or fondly greet us. I asked him where his wife was and he refused an answer by saying; "she left for the day."

While we were visiting their home I saw that the ceilings were falling down, the stairs were in serious disrepair and the walls were being torn apart. This didn't make sense to me because only a few years ago this home was brand new. In the house when it was built there were elegant high-quality fixtures. Special cupboards and beautiful flooring everywhere. And, yet the house, only a few years later was in terrible disrepair as though something devastating had happened to it.

"Was there an earthquake, a flood, a tornado that came through and did all this damage?" I thought.

Because of the disrespect, I felt from the man in the house, the lack of hospitality, and the contentiousness I decided I was going to leave and never return.

In my dream I was thinking to myself; "how could such a wonderful house be in such wreckage in just a few years. How could a woman expecting guests just leave knowing we were coming and how could the man endorse what she did as well as act in a similar disrespectful manner?"

In the dream, I left the house feeling a strong bitterness and hatred on the part of the man and his wife without the ability to figure out why!

In the dream there was no sense of the man desiring to talk things through or work things out, it was clear his hatred and the hatred of his wife would not allow for the resolving of a problem, they were enjoying their contempt toward us.

Upon awakening, I was left with a pit in my stomach and a sense of spiritual ugliness. I asked the Lord if the dream had any message for me, it was clear His answer was "yes", it is full of meaning.

The dream was not about events that have happened or were to come, the dream was a message of the spiritual state of our world today.

Women have left the home to engage in selfish pursuits and the men do not care that they have left. The wreckage of the house represented how the family and the home is deteriorating to such a degree that no one can live in this broken-down mess without serious reconstruction, but the reconstruction of the family never comes, it just gets worse.

The dream was showing us the degradation of not only the family but all relationships. There are few people left who understand kindness, love, gentleness and all the rest of the fruit of the Spirit of God.

Galatians 5:22-23

"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."

The present generation has been so indoctrinated to think of self almost exclusively that they are angry at any suggestion that they are in need of learning manners or respect. They rage at any suggestion that they might need instruction.

There are few people in our children's generation who know what respect and honor look like. They react with snappishness when they are corrected and because they think they are right they are not ashamed when they treat someone disrespectfully.

Here is the problem: We are living in a world of "Christians" who have never been born again but think they are saved.

1 John 4:8

Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"

These false Christians will think their good works (that is not robbing or killing) will save them but do not concern themselves with respect for God or others. As long as they believe in their own mind they are good, they do not bother with prayer, reading of His Word, and humble repentance.

May those who have been living a cultural Christianity become ashamed and repentant so that they can become born again. May they realize they do not have a walk with Christ and must repent and trust in Him to be born again. The person who does this will have a completely changed attitude with conspicuous actions that show a turn about has happened.

They did not turn themselves around, they repented, trusted Christ and it was Christ Who changed them when they become born again.

2 Corinthians 5:16-18 "…16 So from now on we regard no one according to the flesh. Although we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:…"

When someone has been changed by Christ all those who knew them before they were changed can see a dramatic difference in the way they think thus in the way they act. They don't have to try to act kind, because their soul is kind without having to try.

When someone is acting a role to be accepted that role is easily discarded when a little controversy arises. A kind person is kind all the time to everyone, they do not play favorites, treating some people better than others. Kindness is in every part of their being all the time, they act this way just as they breathe without thinking because it is who they are inside.

Kindness is such a part of the born-again believer that it doesn't even enter their mind to be mean or snappish, it is not who they are through and through. If the thought arises through the temptation of the devil or the flesh to be unkind, it is quickly dismissed because it is rejected as being an interloper in a body that dwells in kindness.

When snappishness and rudeness come out at the slightest disagreement we have seen the real person emerging. A selfish and self-righteous individual who has a very high opinion of themselves acts in this way, lacking respect and honor.

May we as believers seek Christ to "BE" kind on the inside rather than just "ACTING" kind on the outside.

The Nature of Love!

1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
"4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant.
5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered,
6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
