He Changed Me

We all as Christians have duties Jesus calls upon us to do. I want to share with you all some heavy burdens I have had recently. Please consider yourselves throughout your readings here.

 

Easter Sunday, I have been looking forward to worshiping my savior on this day. The reason… this is the day He arose! An amazing revealing to us all! However, my heart was very saddened. The devil will try his best to get too each one of us when he can and when we notice that he is trying to get us down we need to pray for strength.

 

So, service started and I have been wondering recently if I am where God wants my family and I to be. There have been some issues in the past that really have me thinking and praying a lot. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to sing praise to my Lord because I feel that is the time I have to give Him glory. Singing praise to my Lord is very personal to me. I like to just close my eyes and focus on Him.

 

Recently I have been feeling really uncomfortable when I am upfront. I feel as if others are talking about me and judging me. Why do I think this… I have no idea but it was a strong enough feeling that on Easter I let it be known to the entire church. I knew that this was something the Lord wanted me to share. I am so glad I did because after that He gave me the strength to close my eyes and sing to Him without acknowledging anyone else was there. After service I went and prayed at the altar that Jesus would continue to show me what He wants me to do, guide me, and give me the strength to follow through. That is My Desire!

 

I feel that this is a much larger problem than known so I wanted to share it with all you. We as Christians should not judge one another. Next time we find ourselves talking about our brothers or sisters in Christ and if what they are doing is for God remember these scriptures and think those thoughts through… because I bet you’ll figure out later down the road that this was just another way the devil was getting your attention away from serving Jesus.

 

Matthew 7: 1-5

 

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

 

Lets all try from now on to spend more energy on praising God instead of trying to figure out who is doing it for what reason. If someone is doing it for the wrong reason then they will have to answer to God for it.

 

Here is a song which helps explain exactly how I feel when praising Jesus through songs, testimonies, and more.
