Mr Kim 11-4-08

Well im like really copying Mr Kim lesson today and adding some stuff. But after today it really applied to Ally and me so i decided to write about it. So give props to Mr Kim for this devo/lesson:

Themeverse:
"Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."
James 5:16

"Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies."
Psalm 36:5

A thousand times you try and try but you cant do it! You keep trying to push yourself to the limit to shoot that basketball in. You want a ratio of 5 shots 1 miss. But right now its 2 shots 5 miss. You play day by day and day and night. You want to get better but you just cant do it. You skip dinner just to play.
You want help from someone but you just dont know how to ask. Because you say to yourself i can do it i can do it!

Sounds like some of us doesnt it. In our spiritual lives we always fail God over and over again. A thousand times i failed. To listen to God to be obident! But instead fail. Thats how much we sin just like when we shoot basketballs. Failing over and over again. Yet God is always there ready to help us. What do we decide to do is that we just run away from it. Going our own ways trying to deal wit hthe temptation ourselves. What ends up happening is failure.

God, is calling us day by day. Thousand of times by your friends, messages, songs, and stuff that is happening to you. But yet we get to consumed by our daily things. School, music, tv, friends, and anything. These things arnt wrong of course we can enjoy them. But when it starts cutting into your daily time wtih God then theres a problem. God needs to be first in your life. If you choose God He will help you get through all this and plus not only that He will bless you. Because with all that happening and you quiet down and work with Him your relationship wtih Him improves alot.

Friends are there for you to. Confess to each other waht you done wrong. One thing i learn is that if you dont and keep it to yourself. Seems more likely that you are going to sin. Why? No one to keep you accountable no one is help you. You have God but God gave you friends for a reason didnt He? If you confess to each other it heals you makes you feel better and not as a guilty person. Of course you are still guilty till God pleads you free. But Jesus died for us so we are free.

Doesnt mean you can abuse His love. Still feel bad but dont make it like i feel so bad im so bad! Because you are not there are trials in your life were you going to fail and say why didnt i listen.

Challenge:
1. Hows your relationship?
2. Are you answering God's Calling?
3. Confessing with one another?
4. Are you abusing His Love
