I am wondering what kind of person God accepts in His kingdom...... do you know?
Is it the loud and rude person who "Puts people in their place"?
Or is it the person who lets the powerful person trash him and then runs to the Father and says..."Did you see what that person did to me?"
You have maybe done something wrong, BUT the other person does NOT want to hear your explanation NOR your apology.
What do YOU do from a professional and ethical viewpoint?
More importantly if you have tried to explain yourself AND apologize.....
How do you think God sees the other person if they will not listen to you?
Are you supposed to fret about it? Are you supposed to loose sleep over it?
Do you wonder what is going to become of the person who does NOT forgive.......? More than likely, God will have His way with the person who does NOT forgive, just to emphasize to them what is the right thing to do (and maybe awaken their conscience).
If the person does NOT listen to God when He comes gently knocking on the door of their heart...what will happen to them if they continue to live like that......believing THEY are always in the right and they don't HAVE to forgive people, even when those people come to them and ask. (See this kind of person thinks THEY have a corner on wisdom and insight...and THEY need to teach everyone around them a lesson when they are wronged)
They may go their merry way and confess to be His child even.......but God knows everything.......EVERYTHING...
He knows our hearts, minds, motives and what we cherish the most....... if someone offended YOU.... would YOU forgive if they came to you and were trying to apologize??
Or would you stand on the podium of your heart and bash the person trying to apologize........ leaving the person to cry out to God in tears of sorrow and frustration after you have abruptly finished your bashing and sent the person away..........
That person who was trashed and was like a child would NOT get all frustrated and keep it all inside.......
they would immediately go to God who is their father in heaven and tell Him..............
"Why did that person do that to me when I was trying to explain myself and apologize......
This brings to mind a verse that Jesus Himself said....If your brother comes to you and says,"Forgive me, I will not do that again."
You are to forgive him....even if it happens 70 times 7 times (that is 490 times for the arithmetically challenged ~~~~hehehehe)
I wonder what Jesus would do when a person like that came to Him at the end of their life and told him,
"We taught people Your lessons, listened to sermons and helped lots of people......we did LOTS of good things......."
And then He would ask....."When you were wronged and people tried to apologize to you.... Why did you turn them away without accepting their apology?"
I am so scared for people like that (I also feel sorry for them)....... what will happen to them?
So..........does God accept the child..........or the person out to "Teach Everyone Something"? What ever happened to the teaching of Jesus about who gets into the kingdom of God.......
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
Little children have things to learn...they ARE NOT perfect and never would say they were.....
Life is a continuing classroom for me....... how about you? =-D
======================================================================
If we do not keep learning things, how will we ever grow our businesses...or live life to the fullest.....?
======================================================================
I for one will choose to STAY childlike......
I WANT to be accepted into Gods kingdom and grow my business..... =-D
Learning things is Sooooo important in life........ we should NEVER stop learning.........never......... =-D
