Things In Common: People of God, Remember God

Things In Common: People of God, Remember God

I've heard it all, now they want guns in the schools? Come on! really?

People of  the most High God, your hearts maybe broken/hurting even over this tragedy and the others that came before, so am I. However, don't close your eyes to what is going on. Teachers and administrators carrying guns in the schools. What?

Why would we want to support more guns on the streets, in our homes,  and now in our schools, God forbid.

Don't make the gun organization richer by purchasing their guns. The very thing that have us hurting and grieving today.

I don't know what the answer is. Something must be done, yes, I agree, but it's not more guns, but more prayer.  In 2Chronicles 7:14 - 15 - If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.  Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place (ESV).

Let's bombard Heaven with our concerns through fasting and prayer. After all, God is watching and waiting to hear from us.

Grace and Peace,

Jessie

Things In Common - Rejections

Today’s Moments of Hope: Rejection is God’s protection

If you’ve lived any number of years on this earth, you’ve most likely been rejected. Therefore, when (not if) it happens, here are some things to remember about rejection:
Rejection is God’s protection. You are probably being guarded from something very evil. Therefore, thank God for the rejection!
Rejection is wrong direction. It’s a way to put you on the right path in life. Therefore, it’s something to be celebrated.
Rejection is just perception. The person who rejected me doesn’t really know me. It’s just a perception they had of me.
Rejection is no more dejection. That chapter in my life has been written. It’s time to write a new one. It’s time to move on.
Rejection is not the end of my life. Indeed, if I really trust God, it’s a new opportunity in life for me! There’s something and someone even better in life waiting for me.
