His family

If you are broken, you are in the right place. If you feel like you are too damaged, then here is right where you need to be. Jesus is the Father of the fatherless, and takes care of the abandoned. Know this: he is not like your earthly father, you don’t have to earn His approval. You already have it. He is gentle and kind, He is there to teach His son’s how to become men when their father’s have not taught them how, and He is there to speak into the lives. He is there to share wisdom with His daughter’s, to protect them from the wrong type of men, and to tell her how precious she is in God’s eyes. 
If you are seeking approval from an abuser or a gang, you need to learn to become a God pleaser rather than a people pleaser. You can’t please everyone, there will come a day where you will have to disappoint someone to make what is a good decision for yourself. First off your abuser is just that an abuser. Just because they apologize does not make them your friend. There is a difference between remorse and true repentance. If you see no change in them, they obviously are not willingly to stop the abuse. So get out of the relationship! A gang is just a bigger version of an abuser, only this time it’s a family of abusers. They manipulate you into thinking they are your family so they take advantage of you to get you to do their biding. Yes they will do things for you, but that is all part of the package of their lies, only to get you hooked to do what they want. They do this so they can have someone to blame a crime on. In so doing they go free while you take the rap. Do you call that family, I don’t. They call it taking care of one’s own. That is their excuse, but I never see it happen where they do the same for the other person. 

God will never do that, in fact He took the rap for our crimes and and took our death penalty. So in a sense He went to death row for us, so we would not have to. If we come to Him we can escape our sentence and be adopted into His home where He will be the Father that you’ve always wanted.

Change my heart

-
To follow You is not a service, but a pleasure. Lord let me breathe Your fresh air. You have cloaked me with Your Grace; search me and know me. Leave no stone unturned, I expose all my darkest of thoughts unto you, and ask that You might renew my mind. Your gentleness is patient with me, and I thank you for your belief in me. I’m ready to start making some changes in my heart. Take the chisel and the hammer and start chipping away at my imperfections. I give You the story of my life. With tears flooding down my cheeks, I weep for this world, if only they could know the You I know! There is no anger in Your eyes only sorrow that this world has chosen to forget about You. He wants so much to be your Father and friend, yet you push Him away and say, “I don’t need God.” And so you go on with your empty life trying to fill it with things and achievements, but after your filled your empty again and need to be refilled again. Nothing you get or achieve sustains you forever, but Christ can.

True fulfillment

-
True fulfillment Fulfillment is not a feeling, nor is it purchased with money. Some say success comes by way of a job and a paycheck. Still others say it comes by the way of a family or material things. Some say their passion is what brings them fulfillment. First off fulfillment comes from God and God alone. Money can not purchase salvation, nor can it achieve true success. True success comes from the Lord. All the material things are just a by product of the joy found in Jesus Christ. Our true satisfaction is found in Christ alone. It is Him who placed a vacuum shaped hole inside of us, to please the Lord. That is what true success is. All that other stuff is only add on’s. The worship of money is idolatry and a sin. Many today care more about their passions then about their relationship with the creator. And so their focus is on their ministry, rather than the gentle beckoning of the Holy Spirit. Non Christians care more about what they can achieve on their own, whether it

The old tavern

-
As far as the eye could see, there were many wooden shelves, all carved from the old oak that used to be out back in the garden. The shelves held many boxes, all made from priceless pearls. You could hear the thumping coming from each box, that of a heart beat in one’s chest.  There was an old man, disgruntled yet somehow he seemed to have been there before. He admired the wood work in the old tavern, and when he came to the boxes; he made an astonishing discovery. Opening one of them, he found a tablet with a name etched in the stone. He blew off the dust of one of the tablets, as the name inscribed started to shimmer. Words jumped off the stone saying, “My beloved son in whom I am well pleased, enter in.” The name on the tablet started to transform into a bod. In the twinkling of an eye he saw the future in his hands. (the rapture) Afraid he dropped the box and it closed. The tablet and the hologram of the rapture with the name and words spoken were drawn back inside the box, an
