A BETTER world

 

Galatians 3:26-29

King James Version

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ 

have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, 

and heirs according to the promise.


We could all use a better world.

A kinder, sweeter, more compassionate, and humane world.

Where there are no corrupt governments.

No abusive officials, and wasteful programs.

Where all have a home, and country, to be safe in.

Where there's love in the family.

Where there's food on the table.

Where there's peace at home.

Where there's worthwhile work.

Where there's love, and respect, for all.

Where all cooperate, for the good of all.

I long, dream, work, and pray for such a time.


All this is possible, if we have GOD.

He set the rules.

All we have to do, is follow them.

JESUS showed us how.

But oftentimes, man deviates, thinking he knows better.

Most of all, CHRIST's enemy corrupts us at every turn.

He always tries to undo, or sabotage, GOD's plans for us.

I said he "tries", for the enemy doesn't necessarily succeed.


We cannot change the world.

But we can change our thinking.

We can change the terrible within.

We can focus on GOD, for a change.

We can be born again, for one.

All I'm able to tell you, comes from being born again.

GOD's SPIRIT teaches me everything I need to know.

Such as the stuff below:


May we never forget GOD created us.

Genesis 1:27

King James Version

27 So God created man in his own image, 

in the image of God created he him; 

male and female created he them.


May we never forget He gave us the breath of life.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.


May we never forget He makes everything possible.

Matthew 19:26

King James Version

26 But Jesus beheld them, 

and said unto them, 

With men this is impossible; 

but with God all things are possible.


May we never forget we are totally reliant on JESUS.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


May we never forget SPIRIT is the Source of TRUTH about JESUS.

John 15:26 

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:


May we never forget JESUS conquered sin, and death, for us.

Hebrews 2:14 

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;


Every day is a chance to do better.

To think better.

To love better.

To know GOD more.

But we can only succeed, if we are CHRIST-like.


Unless we follow JESUS, we will fail.

Unless we are born again, we cannot be taught by SPIRIT.

Unless we love GOD, we kid ourselves.

Unless we are teachable, we will never learn.

Unless we're so tired of how the world is, we would never want change.


We are all like wildflowers.

Swaying with the wind.

Having different breeds.

Having different colors.

Having different lives.

Having different heights.

Having different qualities.

And yet, the GOOD LORD made us all.
