In this day and age, there are many voices raging against the other person who they are judging as to be hateful and evil!! All are angry and blaming everyone else for their unhappy lives.
I have a question. What happens when a child is not raised in the ways of the Lord? What happens when a child's parents are emotionally wounded and unable to give thier children a heathy lifestyle, if wounded parents don't teach them by showing proper behavior themselves? Seed sewn are seeds grown, and sins of Adam --all mankind are passed down from generation to generation. Right?
We know that there are many people who are addicted, due to being wounded by experiences in their life. The end result--people hate who they are, hate what they do and have no hope or the answers to a life free of their anger and hate. We call them criminals. We call them drug addicts, achoholics, dispicable, liars, thieves--and we judge them because we do not know their whole life's story.
Only God knows! That is why God tells us not to judge, but to pray for them, try to see the truth behind their behaviors and understand why they need for us to pray for them from the dept of our own deep hurts! Our own wounded heart can enable us to pray with and understanding and pray with deep compassion for all.
Everything happens for a reason. Seeds that are sown are the seed that grew in everyones life. Good, the bad and the painful events that grew and became feelings and behavior that controls actions of all people everywhere, every moment of each day. This is why we are told to PRAY like never before.
Let us compare our life, their lives with Our Lords own life and Passion. Meditate and reflect on the Stations of the cross in a new way.
When we take up the crosses of our lives and follow in His footsteps---let us see Jesus in others suffering. Let us help them carry their crosses, comfort them, wipe away their tears or the blood from their wounds. Let us relate with them the times they fail, they fall and they carry heavy burdens --so heavy we cannot begin to know their struggles in life. MOST IMPORTANTLY--let us never nail them to their cross by judging them--not knowing or understanding why they do what they do. God give us the grace to take them down off their cross and be given hope and a new resurrected life.
Pray for all, seeking wisdom and understanding of why God we do what we do that we hate, and why people's actions and words appear to be evil.
Forgive us Lord, and forgive them also, for none really know why they do what they do. Why do we sin Lord? Why does our weak wounded human nature lead us to hurting ourselves or others! Help us to see what You see dear God.
Give us wisom and understanding of why so that we can know the Way to God forever. Deliver us all and set us all free from the pains of the past and be healed, allowing us to walk Hand in hand with you dear Lord. Help us Lord to LOVE as You love, so we can live in love and show others Your love.
Start with a smile folks and kind words to all you meet. Sew seeds we want to grow in the lives of all. Peace be with us and peace come with our choice of living God's Way and Words.
Born the youngest of nine children, raised VERY Catholic across the street from Immaculate Heart of Mary church and school—Mom and Dad led by example and word their FAITH in God and saw to it that I was given 12 years of Catholic Education. (Mount St. Mary’s Academy/1965)
But, most importantly, because of my parents’ spiritual renewal after attending Cursillo Weekends, I too went on a retreat at our beloved Subiaco Abbey in Arkansas and there, at age 20, gave my life totally, surrendering all to my Lord and best Friend. This was my “Pentecostal” event that left me, like all the early Christians, on fire with God’s love and forever changed.
My husband Robert and I have been married for 54 this year in a marriage arranged by God. We have 8 children, two in heaven, 24 grandchildren, and 28 great-grandchildren. The story of our life together can be found in a book titled “My Journey, My Cross-As the Journals End,” published by Westbow Press . Our life together has been one awesome up and down roller coaster ride which enriched my heart with so many of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I have found that the only way, Wisdom, Understanding, Words of Knowledge, Discernment, and Healing can be received is first by experiencing in your life the hurts of others. (and you yourself a sword will pierce)* so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.” Luke 2 v 35.
God has blessed me also many other talents and skills--but sometimes, blessings/gifts can and have caused problems or conflict in my life, as I am human and all too quickly that part of me shows up. Thank You God that You also show up!
Because of the many ways that He has rescued me, and taught me through my trials and tribulations and continuous cries for “Help”--- a weekly podcast radio show called “It’s Me, God” can still be found on www.radiotitans.com
