Truth? OK, I will give you the honest truth about myself. I know, I know. It just may be a total shock! Because, well people do know just how Godly Sam is. Lol yeah right! I am totally messing with you guys!
Sam acts Godly? Yeah, maybe on some occasions. Like, perhaps times at church, on church days, when I go to church. And, I'm with different people. Well, I haven't really been going to church lately because of the pandemic.
So, I haven't been able to see people at church. More like (And people at church have not been able to watch how I would be acting. Yeah, I think that would be more the concern for most people. Am I right?
I'm sure there are other times too. Or, no. Whatever. Remember I am not perfect.
Anyway, where am I even going with this? Do I even remember? Wait for it. I am going somewhere. Meaning I am eventually getting to share a point to what I am even talking about. I better be after having such my big build up in my intro/first paragraph.
So, yeah back to what I was saying about the truth about myself. Wait a minute! It just dawned on me! If I continue with what I am planning to read about? It will be as if I am calling myself out. Do I wanna do that?
I am kind of thinking this. Perhaps, this is exactly why the Lord wanted me to start my blog. I really have some Deep Thoughts I want to share. And, it just may be helpful to you a reader or listener.
Today I want to talk about second chances. God is all about the giving of 2nd chances. What about you guys?
What about Sam? I will say sometimes. I know it should be all the time. I am working on that.
God does it all the time! Are you a child of God? You sin. Then ask for forgiveness. You know the dealio! Then, what does God say? The word says He will forgive you.
So, I guess well with God? Forgiveness is a breeze for him. For some people? For Sam. Not that easy.
There was an incident when there was this one girl that hurt me bad. My other friend needed to tell me what God needed me to hear. I needed to forgive my other friend in my heart. And, so that's what I did. Did it make me feel better? Yes, well kind of. Well, most of the time. That is all I wanna say about that.
Another point I wanted to share was this. Now, I was told by someone this. The next time I get into an argument with someone. I should choose to stay quiet. Then, pay attention to what happens.
What happens is this. I hear how I sound. I hear how crazy I sound! I hear how mean I sound! Wow that was such a good idea Because it made me hear myself!
I hear how loud I sound! I'm sorry. Did I say crazy? Because I really mean that.
Really. So, what is coming to mind now? Well, 1st of all I suggest you read In The Bibler so u you can see for yourselves what God says about anger. I knew God says something in the bible about not. letting the sun go down without fixing the anger. Or, make a plan to fix it. Try to resolve it before you go to sleep
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Matthew 18:21-22
Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven
Ephesians 4:26
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
James 1:20
For the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Ephesians 4:26-27
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.
Proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Psalm 37:8
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil
