Seeing Past Our Mistakes

Seeing Past Our Mistakes
Every day I make mistakes.
No matter what I do, when I look back, I will see some kind of mistake.
Am I going to stop growing in Christ?
No.
Am I always going to see my past mistakes?
Yes.
Should I stop doing what I do?
Absolutely not.
What should we do then?
We must keep doing our best, and know that we are not perfect.
As we grow in Him we will see more of our mistakes.
It is funny how we look into our pasts and recognize our mistakes
and then somehow believe what we are doing now is not a mistake.
We think we know what to do now.
As we grow in Him, we will see that our current actions
are not as perfect and right as we thought they would be.
Why am I telling you this?
I want us to see that we all make mistakes,
and what we do is never going to be perfect.
The closer we get to Christ’s perfection,
the more what we do will seem imperfect.
God is not concerned about your perfection.
Do your best, attach yourself to Him and His perfection,
and know you will never do any perfect act on your own.
Walk toward Him and don’t be embarrassed
by your past decisions and mistakes,
and don’t be so proud of your present decisions and actions.
It is normal for our past to seem full of mistakes as we walk toward Him.
We are growing in God and every day our eyes will be more open
and our pasts will seem more imperfect.
We want to stop seeing our past mistakes and start seeing past our mistakes.
Just keep moving.
He loves you so much.
Keep looking into His beautiful eyes of love and acceptance.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
