The Mirror

                             The Mirror

This reflects who I am.  My past is my mirror and out of this mirror we can both learn from.  Whatever I share in these blogs I had to experience it myself. Here it is…

I ran from God in my past but no matter how far I ran away from him.  I find that in the end I could not hide. I had to acknowledge my problems before him, even though he knows everything. For my own good I had to confess my faults to go forward. Something similar is taught everywhere in self-improvement books?  Well, it comes from the Bible.

Whenever, someone runs and hide from God they run into problems, severe problems like all kinds of addictions and other sins.  The only answer is to run toward him and be loved by him.
You, who have never been loved.  Like the Beatles’ song: “All you need is Love”.  It is true to a point, but sex is not love.  In a marriage setting, it is an expression of love.  Sex was created by God for marriage as a blessing.  It is not something that is due you for you to take and take advantage of.  It is for you(man) to ‘respect’ it, as you would respect a lady and God.
In Psalm 50:23, it says that God values ‘respect’ above all.  In the whole psalm, it talks about us being happy all along with giving him sacrifices.  Here he is saying (I am paraphrasing).  “Remember all these sacrifices you gave me, I did not need sacrifices because I have all these animals at my disposition (v.10 and 11).  Here in verse 23, he says all I want is to be acknowledged and thanked.  In other words, he wants a relationship with you and with you too.  When you get on your knees he is saying: “All I want is praise and adoration for who I am and what I have done for you at the Cross.  Jesus died on the Cross for your sins.  Ask him forgiveness.  He is the Son of God.
