What If...

Whatever You Do, Do It in Love for the Glory of God!

April 1, 2013

Have you ever wondered why the world is the way it is today? Where did we go wrong? Why do we remember the strangest things from our childhoods that are so vivid to us long into our adult years? Why are we still hurt from things that happened so many years ago? I could go on and on, but then it came to me… it is because things could have been handled differently.

With the passing of Easter, I watched many TV shows about Jesus’ crucifixion. I observed so many things would have happened differently, if the people that were in power would have handled things differently. I know that all things had to come to pass for Jesus to save our souls, but what if things happened differently…

·         What if…Pontus Pilot chose to take charge & heed the warnings from his wife’s dream and had chosen to give Jesus mercy and listen to what he had to say instead of letting corrupt people make the decision for him?

·         What if the Roman soldiers and the Pharisees took the time to give Jesus a fair trial and had a change of heart?

·         What if hardened hearts and stinkin’ thinkin’  were condemned to the cross instead of Jesus?

·         What if Love, Compassion and Forgiveness were worn like medals?

·         What if God was always 1^st Place in our hearts and minds?

·         What if the Bible was the basis of our Government, work force, Medical field, and family?

·         What if schools taught solely from the Bible and prayed for God’s wisdom and guidance?

·         What if road rage was solved by learning that Love is patient, Love is kind?

·         What if murders never happened because we would simply learn to respect and Love one another?

·         What if debts were erased and people paid with cash instead of credit because we owe no man nothing but Love?

·         What if hurting people choose to be set free from bondage and learn to Love the person that hurt them and show them Forgiveness? What if we taught them to Love the person, but not what they do? What if that mercy that was bestowed upon them, changed their life forever?

·         What if Addictions never happened because we learned not to be tempted by evil things?

·         What if there were no more sicknesses or diseases simply by putting faith in God and knowing Jesus died on the cross for our transgressions and by His stripes YOU ARE HEALED!

·         What if we simply give it ALL to GOD knowing His ways are not our ways…He came to give us purpose, a destiny and to prosper us and give us life.

·         What if we buried Unforgiveness in caskets instead of people we love...for Christian’s to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

·         What if Hell was emptied in an instant because Satan chose to bow down before God and Love and Serve others?

·         What if Eve was never tempted in the Garden of Eden, because God’s Word is the FINAL WORD?

·         What if we became the change we wanted to see in others?

·         What if the color of one’s skin or the nationality of a person had nothing to do with anything because God is no respecter of persons?

·         What if the Spiritual Gifts that God gives us became our jobs.

·         What if getting back to the Basics of Listening to God’s Voice, Reading His Word, and Living what He said to do, became the change you wanted to see?

·         What if sin was non-existent because we Love God more than ourselves?

·         What if we stop following people and their actions and Follow God and His Actions?
