The joy and blessings of mending

We all had something that broke at one time or another. Our precious toys, our car, the house plumbing, our friendships... There is nothing that does not brake.

I remember seeing my father giving a lot of his energy and time at repairing all kind of things that did not work anymore. As a young kid, i always wondered why he spent so much time around broken stuff trying to make them work again. I was young and for me anything that did not work as it should was only good to be thrown away, without giving it a second look or a second chance. It is funny how my father was somehow successful in making these broken things work like new.

Many years have passed now. I acquired some wisdom and realized a few things.
The first of these things is that we are all broken and all separated from God by our sins. The second phase is that Christ took our punishment on the cross and mended our relationship with God. Imagine,for a moment only, that God is like my father trying in some way to fix things. Other than getting rid of the broken stuff, He sacrificed his only Son, Jesus Christ, to repair us, to make us worthy, so that whoever accepts his Son in his heart as his savior and repents of his sins will have everlasting life.

Let's rejoice in mending every little broken thing, relationships, health or hearts even if it takes time, energy or resources that we do not have or think we have.. The Lord will bless us every time we repair something. Lets praise the Lord, for he repaired us. Amen

GUILTY!!

Guilt : the fact of having committed a breach of conduct especially violating law and involving a penalty or feelings of culpability especially for imagined offenses or from a sense of inadequacy. (Merriam-Webster)

Whoever lives, is guilty. What to do in an ever growing atheist or/and agnostic world but to deny it, hide it, harden the heart until it is like cement; create a set of principles to help make believable rationalizations for the dark deeds done. This leads simply to self destruction.

The empty shell of our being filled with our wrongful acts, sinful fantasies, infested with guilt, which like a seed is growing slowly, like a cancer taking over all of what you are.Meanwhile the self, the ego is putting in place every possible mechanisms to give the illusion of a respectful image, but it can be broken like porcelain. You grow unable to love, feel or sense another being because of the filthy putrid prison built in you by guilt. Caught in between desires, obsessions, compulsions, narcissism and sociopathic behaviors.

No one outgrows their guilt alone. It will stick to you like a parasite.

John 10:11, 15:13, "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep... Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."


Luke 15:10, "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth."


Tell your sins to all. Repent to the one who created you, was always beside you, waiting for you to take his hand. He will forgive you and wash these sins away. No one else will cleanse you but Jesus through his blood. You will be able to respect yourself and love other people and stop the nightmares.

Psalms 103:2-4, "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies;"
