So I was just reading a blog that was posted as a ‘hawt’ blog regarding atheism and Hitler. I gotta say it makes me thankful that I am a believer in the one true God. I cannot imagine being without the hope that our heavenly Father gave us when he gave up his one and only son to become our sin and to take the punishment for our sins. How depressed would our society be if we had no hope for a future after death? Can you imagine what it would be like if this world was the best we had to hope for? I am so thankful for my relationship with God and so appreciative of the sacrifice He made for us. I cannot imagine the pain He must have endured while His child was beaten, ridiculed and crucified. Think about how you feel when you see your child’s feelings hurt or you hear of how someone made fun of them or said cruel things to them. It hurts my heart to think that my kids might be rejected by others simply because they love as He loves us.
Thank you Lord for the sacrifice you made to atone for my sins. Thank you for being willing to forgive my sins. Thank you for your compassionate loving son. Thank you for the chance to reach out to others in your name. Thank you for surrounding me with friends who love you and for putting them in my path no matter how much I may have veered from your original plan for me. Thank you for giving me children who recognize you and love you. Thank you for giving me a husband who is willing to obey you especially when he doesn’t want to. Thank you for giving me the Holy Spirit who places conviction in my heart when I am making choices that do not bring glory to you. I ask that those who do not know you will cross the paths of others that do know you, that you will soften their hearts and that they will answer when they feel that tug in their heart. I pray for Mark who does not believe you exist, I ask that you put him in the path of Christian after Christian who will show him through their actions who you are and what following you means, I pray that you do not allow his heart to be hardened to you anymore than it is already and that he will come to know you and begin a relationship with you so that he may reap the rewards that you have promised your children. I praise you and ask these things in your sweet son Jesus’ name. AMEN.
