RE: What About Little John? Part Four
Thank you @done for posting part four.
What an intriguing story.......yes if one's thoughts are established and the thought comes to mind to do a certain thing......it is amazing what will result.
Your kind manner toward John and resultant dialogue is sure to put him at ease......his experiences are symptoms not the problem as you have indicated here. When reading previous parts of this series.....the story of Lazarus and the rich man came to mind. And yet it was Lazarus who was the believer in Christ and for that reason he is in heaven today.
God is the answer......yet how to get to there when that is not what is on their mind.....yes.....waiting for the right time...when they bring it up...is best.
If I may add....Christianity is a relationship with God through the work of His Son Christ Jesus. Religion is man seeking God through his own works. Which is why many times a visit to a church seems so very wrong when they are not aligned with the Bible.
Salvation today is the same as it has been through the ages....Faith alone in Christ alone for salvation for eternal life...the reason we are here....to answer the question....What do you think of Christ.....to reject or accept Him determines our eternal future.
Thank you for opportunity to think on these things.
Wishing you and yours all the best. ^__^
Cheers!
I do think on stories I heard while in a private grade school that had religion class on the list with grades next to each. Treating others as you would want them to treat you is one that I have always seen as a good strategy for life.
How can a person who is cold and hungry concentrate on a seemingly unrelated message? Thinking on these things is more a result of sincere people saying those three words to me over and over after I toss a coin in the pot. God has blessed me beyond measure as promised, "... and I will open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing such that you will not be able to contain it." It is only logical to reference the One who can bring riches or calamity upon any living person, when someone says, "God bless you."
Thank you so much for taking the time. Great comment!
Thank you for you kind reply @done.
It is a good strategy indeed and common sense as well.
It is true....when these physical, visual pressing issues are able to be set aside...perhaps then one can hear a word concerning their soul.
Yes.....God blesses the believer who obeys His Word......King David said My cup overfloweth. Good works are the production of the believer.....which God does indeed bless. May you have many more opportunities to demonstrate grace, thoughtfulness, and generosity.
All the best to you and yours.
Cheers!
