2 corenthins 1:12


2corenthins 1:12

Now this is our boast: our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and Godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on god’s grace.  

I long for integrity and godly sincerity what does that truly mean. Integrity is one thing that I strive for daily because I want to be surrounded by people that have great integrity so who am I not to be trustworthy or have integrity. Sincerity is one thing that you want your friends and piers to have but are we truly sincere. We have all gave empty compliments such as “your hair looks nice today” this is the farthest thing from sincere. Sincerity is only found truly in Christ he truly and sincerely loves us through and through. Through being sincere with each other Galatians 6:2 says, “carry each other’s burdens ” we have to be sincere in everything we do or it does not mean a single thing and in prayer to help each other carry are burdens of life, but only through god can we be gain integrity by showing our sincerity in all the things we do. God only wants sincere people that follow without truth we are worthless. He also only wants sincere followers that seek his face and if you truly seek his face you are sincere and have integrity with others.

Tell two guys how much I sincerely enjoy there company here.

luke 8: 22-25

Luke 8: 22-25 – “One day Jesus said to his disciples, Let us go over to the other side of the lake so they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying “Master, Master, we’re going to drown! He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided and all was calm Where is your faith? He asked his disciples, in fear and amazement they asked one another “Who is this?” He commands even the winds and the water and they obey Him.” This verse makes me think about how we can’t fathom the power Jesus has. Calming a raging lake is not even able to be understood because no earthly thing can control weather. Jesus says where is your faith this made me think of what kind of faith I would have in that situation. I believe I would say exactly what they said because that is so unreal. Where is your faith, I had that line repeating in my head as I was doing this

mark 10: 47-49

Mark 10: 47-49 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout,” Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more,” Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “call him.” So, they called the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet. He’s calling you.   A simple blind man that had the courage to cry out to Jesus should show us how to stay strong today. The blind man Was shouting have mercy on me then many people rebuked him and told him to be quit.   But most of all he shouted even more, this made me think. This is how we should live are life when people are rebuking and trying to quit us. You must make a point to be louder with your faith by loving even more because those are the people that need us most. You must so be courage’s knowing full well you could be standing alone. We don’t have to spread the word but we must spread love and must care for others. people will automatically want your

mark 1:15

mark 1:15 and saying, “the time is fulfilled and the Kingdome of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel this verse is so beautiful I love the way the lord put it. The verse is very simple you can’t misinterpret it. it begins “the time is fulfilled” he is talking about Jesus' death on the cross for our sins and how he fulfilled the task the lord god put before him. Then it says, “the Kingdome of God is at hand” this is the lord opening the gates of heaven to all who are righteous. The last part is “believe in the gospel” I love the way it is said because it shows how simple the lord puts it. Have you ever got direction from a boss that was not clear and made you do something wrong? I have and is extremely painful to have to do something over because of miscommunication. This verse is the lord not enabling us to miss interpret his word and what he wants from us. His task for us is to just “believe in the gospel” which is the lord in himself. So, I can only leave
