It has been quite some time since I took the time to blog anything but it has been on my heart to do so for the past couple of days. I am hoping to make this a much better habit. If you have been so sweet to follow this blog I want to say thank you and I apologize for being so quiet.
I have been so blessed lately to be spending a majority of my time with fellow Christians and we are all so frustrated with the direction of our Country and our Elected Officials. While this frustration is quite justified we almost have ourselves to blame. The verse that sticks out to me regarding this is:
2 Chronicles 7:14 "if My people who are call by My name will humble themselves, pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
We American Christians have been so tolerant of so much, that we have forgotten who we are living to please. We get beat down regularly being called, phobic of blah blah blah, and phobic of this and that, closed minded, racist and whatever else our label is today, all the while, we are losing our land's favor with God. It is our duty as God's chosen to stand up for our Father, and what he says is right. The next time a judge wants to take the Ten Commandments down in any state, or someone wants to stop a high school football team from having prayer prior to their football game, I would hope that the Christians and Jews in those communities would stand up and say ENOUGH, and fight for their Freedom of Religion!!
People ask "How Can a God who supposedly loves us so much allow bad things to happen?" To this I say "How could you allow yourself to be so complacent regarding our Father?" We as a nation need to get down on our knees and beg our Heavenly Father for Forgiveness and take the Commission that we have been given to spread His love, truth and Gospel. I still love my little girl when I tell her what she is doing is wrong, and I can do the same thing to someone else whom I see breaking God's rules. We need to be loving but stern in our handlings of the world, do not be lax in your principles, hold on to our Father and know that if our God is for us then who can stand against us?
Harmel's Helping Hands is my business and it allows me to be relentless in purusing my passions which are God, my family, equine massage, energy healing, and animal welfare. This is just a place for me to do my brain dumps and updates. This won't always be about my job, it could just be a rant about my day.
