Greetings My Friend, I recall as a parent attempting to show my children something telling them the outcome of a situation only to have them turn deaf ears to what I was attempting to teach them. One day they walked in the door all excited telling me what I had been trying to tell them for weeks. It is aggravating to say the least. At times I see God teaching and telling us that what we are doing is wrong and showing us a way that works much better only to be surprised when the warnings turn into reality. A while ago I was attempting to guide my son after a divorce and him telling me that he tends to learn the lessons the hard way before he learns the lesson. I was attempting to impart lessons that I learned after a divorce when I attended a Divorce Recovery group I attended and then the Singles program I became involved in. A few years later I see the deep struggle my son is in and I feel for him but I also know he chose this path. We as a nation have thumbed our nose at God for quite sometime now and God has had people warning America. We as a nation are not listening and I sense that we are near the day of correction. It will not be fun or pretty when God finally brings forth the correction we deserve. As I read the Bible I see God warning Israel and finally the day comes where He unleashes His wrath on the nation because they would not listen. We tell ourselves that God would not want...us to deal with an untimely pregnancy so the baby is aborted. The Bible teaches that God is a God of life not death. God is upset with child scracrfices, Jesus teaches us to teach the children and the list goes on showing me that God is a God of life. God says He finds adultery, homosexuality, lying and cheating to be offensive and we excuse our behavior. God loves all of us and He teaches us what He wants in our lives. He shows us as loving as He is He will not tolerate sinning because we can justify it. We are long due for a day of correction and I know it will happen when we least expect it. And still people are not listening. God warns the believers and they begin to prepare for the day of wrath. God warns us because He loves us and if we listen and repent from the depths of our heart God will lessen the severity of wrath and if we do not listen...then the wrath will come. For me I am taking God at His Word and I am attempting to walk away from sin with God's awesome helping hand. May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Jane
