WE ALL FALL DOWN

WE ALL FALL DOWN



I Was in Church today and saw a guy i went to the Men retreat with
He was one of the guys who was in the car with with me as we drove to
the event.

I saw him a few times in church but i never had a chance to really
face him
face to face ,He is also on the worship team but for some reason he
has not been up front to play his instrument
If i remember he plays the key boards
I remembered in the car he said he had three kids
one boy who is about 16 and the girls are from 6 to 8 lets say
He himself is about 41 years of age.

He also mention in the car on the way in at the men retreat that him
and his wife is having problems but says he sure it will all work out.


Its been about more then a month since that event and the lord finally
let me run into him.

Before church he ask me how i am and i said i was still struggling
with issues then again who isnt . We all have some kind of battle.

He said i will talk to you after church because church was starting
and he had to
sit with his kids.

For me it was good to see this guy because you seem to have a bond
after a event like that and i was carious what he wanted to see me for
Was it just to catch up or to see how iam doing with my struggles or
was it something elese.


When church was over he ask me your still having your struggles and i
said yes
and he mention his wife filed for a devorce and i can see the emotion and sadness
in his face

we as bro's embraced and we both needed a Godly hug
as we hug it felt like a heavy load was taken off from me and im sure
he felt the same way.


I felt bad because i know a few people who are christians who are a
victim of devorced and i care for them very much.

My heart went out to this bro When he said im worried about the kids
and so on
and i told him it has to be difficult.

After we departed sometimes after i kept thinking about how we all
are in some
kind of battle and the truth is Jesus loves us regardless of our falls
and mistakes.

I RECALL A SCRIPTURE

Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify
(strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11

My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not
allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not
slumber. Psalm 121:2-3


Sometimes it seems were is God in our issues and problems?
He said it wont be easy but he will walk with us and that he will
never leave us nor forsake us.
He also said nothing can separate us from his love no matter what
I think it helps to to know we all need a savior and he alone is holy
but on the other hand he did say if we say we have no sin we call him
a liar
but if we confess our sins he is faithful to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all sin. 1 john 1:9

Most of the bible prophets failed God .....paul said he was the chief
of sinners.

God does not say its ok to sin but he is saying i love you and to keep
up the fight
but even soldiers lose battles and pick themselves back up.
Iam reminded by a scripture

Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, all
your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you
affectionately and cares about you watchfully. 1 Peter 5: 7

we all need to pick up are cross daily and come to the cross
and you can find peace and mercy .




AMEN
