Sinners

I am alive, I promise. We (like always) have been very busy this week. It seems like every time I catch my breath, there is something else to do. I do want to thank God for his many blessings on my life. He has done so many things for me, that many go unnoticed. I feel guilty sometimes because of his blessings. Just being able to hear, see, feel, eat, smell, and walk are somethings I take for granted. I thank God for his mercy on my life also. I deserve HELL but he gave me HEAVEN! I feel unworthy just to be able to serve him. Sometimes we get in a rut and "do the things we are supposed to" but our heart is far from God. I am thankful that God chastises me when I do wrong. There is nothing like the Love of God. I am ashamed that I don't share his love more often with others. We as Christians can be so selfish! I know sometimes I am. I want to enjoy all the blessings of being saved and the peace, but because of my wicked self, I don't always share it with others. I think Satan would love for us to stay defeated, while all the while people are going to hell. God help us!
I heard a story one time about a missionary that was in China. He was on the boat about to reach the shore, when God touched his heart about talking to a man on board. He began to witness to the man, and the man said that he wasn't ready to accept the Lord. As they approached the shore the man fell overboard. He couldn't swim. So the Missionary went to the shore to some fisherman asking if he could borrow their net. They wouldn't let him because they were too busy fishing and didn't want to loose their money (that was their occupation). The missionary even promised to give them some money. So in the mean time the man was drowning. They finally got to the man, but it was too late. God showed the preacher that all the while we are "fishing" (living our busy lives) that people all around us are drowning, going to hell and we are too busy to even care. God smote my heart! We need a burden for sinners!
