My Family of Women

There is a lot to the story so I am going to focus on God’s main goal and who God is. gen 3:8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” 10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”   Obviously our Lord visited Adam a lot to ask the question “Where are you?”  Showing that God wants relationship. But because of our sin we were separated from Him.  humanity had to pay for this but how?  Jesus, and He was already going to before the foundations of the world.   matt 22:34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with...

It's mind blowing   The production of this destruction is revolutionary As kegs of gunpowder go off in my head I think where am I going I thought I started this journey on a freeway.   It was smooth and fast. I could see what was coming around every turn. Any sinner with their sin could be seen and pointed at with disgust. My daily bible beating was done without fail. But as my hidden sins continue to mount up. The road has seem to have shrunk Unto a highway. The fast track for Hell I swear it was all down hill. Yet at the time my highway was heaven in my eyes.

Full of stoplights and caution flags But in reality this surface street caused me to get passed ...

As I go through my journey with Christ I continue to want to be more like Him.  But what does that mean?  From what I can tell it means I choose the sinner over the sin.  I love the person more than being right.  It means that I am THE sinner that Jesus loved more than the sin(that he hates) that I do.  It means I'm not as judgmental as I used to be because I realized I'd be judging myself.  It means the sin that people do doesn't shock me like it used to because I used to do that same thing.  It means when I read that Jesus hung out with the scum of the earth so He could be their friend and love on them.  He was hanging with me.  I am the scum of the earth(I am made from dirt by the way).  Jesus always shows full Grace and full Truth wherever He went.  He got to know the people He talked to.  He got into their lives so that His "way" was a way to at the very least listen to.  All I know is if someone came to me ...
