WHO LOVES YOU
By Irving Serrano Sr
As children we all grow up learning and immitating grown-ups. In games, and making believe we were workers of some sort. Even if we really was`nt doing things correct, it seemed right. This is also true with followers of Jesus Christ. In our Bibles, we read about the Apostle Paul; many times in his travels, he found himself having to tell certain folks,` No No No, your doin it all wrong". In Colossians 1:9-15, Paul Paul spoke about his prayer to the Colossians;" for this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God, to fill you with the wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him, in every way. Many people know and understand that prayer is needed. They even ask Christian folk to pray for them, because though they may not walk the walk. They still know and believe the power of prayer. Others take it for granted. When Our Lord Jesus, was in the garden of Gethsemane, He sought to submit to the will of the Father. Many of us turn this around. We spend our time pleading with God, that OUR will be done. We want God to give us what WE want. We want Him to see the wisdom of OUR desires, instead of US; seeking His will for us. Some even think that praying" thy will be done", is a weak prayer. The reality is that WE come to understand Gods will as we come to understand God. In our marriage relationships we very often can tell you what our spouse will say to a certain request. How can we do this? We have come to know our mate. We know what they like, and doone who created us. The importance of daily communication through prayer cannot be taken for granted. It is so important that it is mentioned 250 times in scripture. Daily prayer gives us the opportunity to share all aspects of our lives with God. Daily prayer gives us the chance to express our gratitude for the things he provides. Daily prayer provides the platform for confessing our sin, and asking for help in overcoming that sin. Daily prayer is an act of worship and obedience, an acknowledgement of who really is in control of our lives. Life's circumstances change on a daily basis. In fact, they can go from good to bad, to worst in a very short time. God calls us to bring our concerns not like. We develop a knowledge of what their will is. The same is true of God. We understand his plan and purpose in life as we come to know him in the Bible, through prayer and through our obedience. As followers of Jesus Christ, prayer is the best way to communicate with God. Prayer is the vehicle for a daily dialog with the to him for disposition and potential blessing. He calls us to share our joys and triumphs with him. In fact, Jeremiah 33:3, states; "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know". God wants us to call on him so that he can answer our prayers. He also wants to share with us incredible blessings that we might otherwise have missed, had we not reached out to him through prayer. And finally, James 4:8; tells us to " Draw near to God, and he will draw near you", God wants us to be close to him at all times. May God bless you. Love always, Irving Serrano Sr
