Rambelings of a Broken Heart

God's been challenging me so Much lately and if you've ever been challenged by God you knwo in your head it's a good thing but you almost never like it...same goes for me.

I've been going to this Bible study and the teacher Roger has talked about Shame so much and the differnce between Shame and Guilt. but first what causes shame....

wellll we all have hurts...little hurts that consume our hearts. our hurst are caused by a mean word or something done to us be it when we are young or older and it's like a grain of sand that's caught in a clams' mouth. The poor clam cannot spit it out or pull it out or get ride of it, therefor the clam puts up a thin layer of hardness around it over and over and over and over again over MANY years it becomes a pearl. we see a Pearl as something so precious but it's really a hurt masked over and over so many times... Jesus talks about our pearls

Matthew 7:6

"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces."

God is saying take care of your hurts. if you are stil dealing with the shame that is wrapped up in your hurts becareful with whom your share them. He also says...

James 5:16

"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."

so God is not saying that we have to concore the world alone or that we have to heal alone just to be careful of whom we share our pearls.

The difference between Shame and Guilt:

Shame-->hatred of whom I am

Guilt--->hatred of what I have done

Please pray that I would be released from my shame....and I pray you shall too if you trust me and or wanna chat feel free to comment or message me I'm here for there is joy

John 8:36

"So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

And He is freeing us from that shame :) Love you guys

Thoughts at 4am :D

I've been thinking a ton lately about life,

How it passes so quickly,

How precious and fradgile it is...

and yet we all, Myself inculded, treat it so worthlessly

we worry about so much and ignore that which truly matters...

we worry about money or clothes or reputation or this or that when really it doesn't matter.

All that matter is God, God and His people and the love He has for them.

And by 'God's people' I dont mean some chosen breed of people who are called and holier then thou

I mean all beings, each and everyone who was MADE IN HIS IMAGE

Gen. 1:27 says

"So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God he created him;

male and female he created them."

Have you ever really thought about that?

God chose to make us in HIS image, not that of a monkey or a whale or a tiger or a tree but in the IMAGE OF THE ONE TRUE GOD!! that Blow my mind.

God has called us and asked us to love Him, to love and serve Him with all we are.

He has asked us to open up our hearts and be transformed by His love and His being, to be closer to Him.

To hold NOTHING back,

not our addictions,

our hate,

our loneliness, 

our inner words of self hatred,

not what we do when we are alone,

or the actions that result from lies from satan,

God asks-no He doesn't even ask, He demands us to give Him EVERYTHING

and I mean How can we not?!?!

I mean He gave His life,

He is not asking for us to do anything that He has not already done

think about it if you were hanging out wiht your BFF and suddenly a guy came up to you and pointed a gun to your head and your friend jumped infront of you,

without thinking or caring about their life

they gave it all right away,

well Jesus did this except He did one better,

He DID think about it,

All His life,

At any moment He could have said no I'm done and called a bazillion Angels to come down and give up their lives,

but He didn't,

He CHOSE to stick it out,

He CHOSE to give it all,

He CHOSE to give up a family on this earth for His Heavenly family

He CHOSE to give up the fast fading 'fun' for the eturnal fun

He CHOSE to litterally DIE, stop exhisting here on earth for YOU and ME!

this makes me rethink what really matters...

Clothes?

Cars?

Ipods?

Marriage?

Money?

Fame?

is it eturnal or is it earthly?

Does it really matter?

Matthew 16:15-16

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

 

wanna know what mattered most to Him? read about it, read about Him, His word was not made for someone elseat some other time but it was written for you, for NOW
