God is the only one who can judge us! It's it important to read the Bible for yourself!!!

Accepting God!!!

ImageAs a child I was abused mentally and physically. Many years I would go about being angry, fighting my peers, and trusting no one. At age 16 I was offered to go to church and from that day on I haven’t been the same. God showed me that even though I’ve been through a lot I can lay my burdens upon Him. Whoa wait? I’ve done so many wrong things and You’re willing to forgive me and continue to love me unconditionally? I was amazed by God’s grace and mercy. I’ve changed for the better. I am no longer angry and bitter.  It’s good to know that our Loving Father is willing to forgive and care for us even when we don’t love and forgive ourselves. He is amazing.

Jesus Knew that the Pharisees were trying to kill Him

Reblogged from Why Not Believe?:

So from that day on they plotted to take his life.

54 Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples. (John 11:53-54)

Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. He knew that they were plotting to kill Him.

What I get from this passage is basically GOD IS IN CONTROL. Human can try to do whatever but we're only able to do it because of Him!

Take Courage!

Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.

Often the act of waiting is anything but simple.
Many people hate to wait because they are waiting to do something,
get something, or go somewhere.

Waiting doesn't seem like an act, but the lack of action;  however,
