Well here it is the day before Valentines.... I love Valentines working at a school and watching the kids get so excited about those crazy little cards, candy and just something out of the ordinary. I have to admit I also secretly look forward to Valentines Day. I know that Vince and I exchange cards and he always spends time to find the right card. A few years back he gave me some rose bushes and said "there I'm done" since then I have only gotten flowers once (for anniversary). I have to admit I love those rose bushes. They are alot like relationships. You have to work at them all the time. Watering, pruning, fertilizing and sometimes they hurt you. The good part is that you get to enjoy them when they are blooming they are pleasing to the eye and smell soo good. They don't bloom all the time. Can you see the simularities??? I think that in all our relationships we expect them to be "in bloom" all the time. That is just not going to happen you have to take care of every relationship and enjoy the good with the bad... They are alot of work. I have found that this is very true with my relationship with God. It is not always easy in fact this morning I wanted to take the day off. I am so thankful that I have this crazy bible study to keep me where I need to be. Thanks to you all and I hope you have a wonderful Valentines!! If nothing else celebrate it with the One who loves you more than anything... After all He sent His Son to show how much He loves YOU!!
Chapter 10
9"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." sounds easy enough???
14"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" We all need to be telling others and how beautiful are the feet??? SERIOUSLY??? WHAT IS UP WITH THIS STATEMENT??
19Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says,
"I will make you envious by those who are not a nation;
I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding."[j] 20And Isaiah boldly says,
"I was found by those who did not seek me;
I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me."[k] 21But concerning Israel he says,
"All day long I have held out my hands
to a disobedient and obstinate people." THESE LAST FEW STATEMENTS GIVE ME HOPE FOR ALL I KNOW THAT DON'T KNOW!!
