Denise's Story
If ever I mentioned a Denise before, this is not the same person. I've actually never met this lady. But her story intrigued me so much that I had to make sense of it. Or at least try to figure it all out.
I was thinking about another blog, but I'm putting that on the back burner today, so that we can all know about this lady and the consequences of some peoples' actions.
The only reason I know these intimate details is because the lady I work for is dealing with this issue because it's about her old friend, and I am hearing things, family stories and phone calls that no one usually hears.
And this is where I write my thoughts so, here I am.
So, the lady died.
And the phone calls began. Family members crying their eyes out, saying things that a person shouldn't have to say. You see the problem here is they were not people who followed Jesus. They would drop the token words, GOD... prayer... hope. Sadly, there are some people in the world who ever so often says these words, but they are lacking the spirit. And lacking the spirit, you lack special knowledge that only comes from the spirit. When the chips are down, they say the words, but they don't even know how to use them. Sad, so sad.
Like the simple message... LOVE ONE ANOTHER... they say they love, but actually they hate each other and fight all the time... they do drugs... and one daughter hadn't spoken to her mother for 6 years!
Can you believe that!?!?
So, this lady had 3 daughters and one son,,, and it makes me think of my own kids.
I could never imagine life without their LOVE, it makes my stomach hurt to even think about it! I just find it so hard to wrap my mind around why people do that! Can't even understand a motive.
Here's the deal. In our world there has been a war since... uh well forever... it's the war of good against evil. LOVE against hate, joy against anger. I could go on and on and I am sure y'all can add to this list. Well, lots of folks go with the angels against demons... SO we have to have the wisdom to know the difference. And we must choose our way carefully.
We are easily led to all good things through following Jesus. And following Jesus doesn't include hate or anger among people. Jesus stands for LOVE and TRUTH and JOY and WISDOM!
And so, all these people that I'm talking about today, chose not to follow Jesus. They allowed hate and anger to control their emotions. They never took the time to study the words of Jesus! Here's the kicker! His words are free! Do a web search choose a reliable source and go for it!
I promise it will change your life!
If Denise's family had known Jesus none would be having emotional breakdowns. I am telling you... whew... I have heard the phone calls... felt their tears all in silence.
What were the first words out of my mouth?
"I don't think they knew Jesus." They don't know the words that could have saved them. Had they loved each other like GOD tells us to do, none would be fighting today in that funeral home.
This command must be taken to heart, LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
Now, for the rest of their lives they have to live with the pain of hate and anger. They can never go back and change it. Forever knowing they screwed up so bad, that they will never know true peace. Always remembering the price they paid for choosing hate and anger. Now blaming each other yet knowing the part they played.
I really feel sad for them. At a time when they should have come together with love strong enough to carry them through this horrible event. They can never again tell their mother they loved her, showing the love that is shown through the blood of Jesus! Can never be. Forever remembering how badly they treated each other, and no mothers love to comfort them.
I heard today she died of stress-induced cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo syndrome. Do you know what that is? The lady died of a broken heart. She had no love, no joy from her kids they had been fighting for years. It makes me feel so very sad.
Jesus says, Love one another. Do good to one another... help each other out!
Let's learn the words that can teach us to do better!
GOD Bless US, Everyone! IJCNA
