THE WOE IS ME CHRISTIAN
Do you know any woe is me Christians?
They wake up in the morning oh my back hurts.
I just can't get my legs to work any more.
I have this head ache that just won't go away.
The kids won't help me at all.
I can't pay the bills there just isn't enough money.
When someone asks how they are doing they hear it all.
Why would anyone want to be a Christian if this is an example of a
Christians life?
They say the enemy has been attacking me.
But the enemy doesn't have to attack them because they are doing a
fine job pushing the lost away from the Lord.
They don't even realize that the reason they are in the situation is
because of their own choices.
They claim ailments that they should be giving to the Lord.
There is a big difference between asking for prayer and this woe is me
attitude.
Just what are the things the woe is me Christian missing?
For one thing faith.
They are showing no faith that the Lord is with us and will provide all
of our needs and will heal us when we are sick or hurt.
For another there is no joy.
They are not happy only complaining about what they don't have.
The other thing is hope.
There is no sign that there is hope in their life when all they do is
moan and groan
They show no signs that God is everything and there is none that can
knock God down or defeat Him.
But they do give the enemy more power than he has.
Always saying the enemy did this or that.
As Christians we should be giving God all the glory in everthing good in
our lives.
To be thankful for what we do have.
To wake up in the morning, no matter what hurts, and say , good
morning Lord this is a great day because you are allowing me to be
in Your presence again.
If you only have food for one meal praise the Lord for the food that
filled you that day.
If your car won't run praise the Lord for those who will give you a ride.
If they shut off your power praise the Lord for the candles and
lanterns you have in the house.
When I go to bed and know that the Lord is with me no fear enters
into the darkness for He is watching over me.
In the light of day the beauty around me shows me how much the
Lord loves all of His children.
Let it rain, snow, sunshine, falling leaves brightly colored in the fall,
God made a beautiful place for His children to live.
So if you see some of the woe is me in you get rid of it.
Pity parties are for the lost because they don't know how much the
Lord loves them or that there is a God at all.
Christians we are living in the light.
Let that light shine through you.
Smile a lot so the joy of the Lord that He put in your heart shows on
your face and in your eyes.
If someone knows financially you are struggeling just blow it off and
say the Lord will provide.
Don't just say it, mean it, know that God will help you in all situations.
Sometimes God uses man to help you.
But don't go crying on mans shoulder depending on them to help.
Man will let you down.
Seek the Lord in all your needs and wait for the answer.
You see when the lost souls see you depending on God and then sees
how God blesses those who trust, love, and have faith in Him it
will draw the lost to the light to see what you have and if it is
possible for them to have the same thing.
We are human so pity parties are something we do all of us.
I have been there and when I can't shake it I lock myself away so I
won't discourage a lost soul thinking there is nothing to
Christianity because of my behavior.
If you catch yourself doing the pity party thing stop and think how
much God loves you and how many blessings you have received
and you will find yourself smiling.
My prayer is that who ever reads these words, the Lord gave me, will
see that in order to draw the lost souls into the light the light
has to shine through us. There is no light in the gloom and doom
only darkness. The lost are already in the dark. Let the Lord
shine through us.
God bless you and your family, may the Lord keep you close to Him.
PRAISE GOD THE FATHER, JESUS OUR SAVIOR, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
THAT LIVES WITHIN ALL CHRISTIANS.
