WHAT WILL GOD SAY

“And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3:16,17 KJV

What will God say to us when we get to Heaven?  What is He saying to us right now?  Is He pleased with the words we say and the things we do?  I wonder if we will be able to look Him in the eye or will we have to hang our head in shame because of the way we live.  We should do all we can do to make Him happy.

If God has given us a mission, we need to ask Him to help us if we get discouraged and feel like giving up.  Jesus fulfilled the mission His Father had given Him when He allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for your sins and for my sins.  What a precious loving Saviour we are privileged to know and have.

Years ago, I read an article about a lady in the newspaper.  The article reported that the lady was over eighty years old.  I don’t remember how old she was.  What touched my heart was several people who were giving tributes about the lady said “I never heard her say one unkind word to anybody.”

That tribute not only touched my heart it also convicted me and made me ashamed because before I was saved and walking with Jesus I said some things that were not very nice to people when I lost my temper.  I had a terrible temper before I was saved but Jesus gave me a new heart and I don’t lose my temper now.

Heavenly Father, I pray that You will help us to be kind and loving to one another.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
