APOLOGIZE

I remember during those times working in the school system, I use to work with children in various age groups from toddler to elementary age. So often you may see the elementary kids get into a squabble over a toy or a position they may have played in a game. As an adult I can see the shoving, name calling and then the throwing of the fists.Well, before it gets out of hand, you do your best to step in and say, "stop it"!.Mary apologize to Johnny or vice versa. All in all I would  step in and reprimand the students for their actions and say their behavior is unacceptable. I would inform the students to express words of regret on how they treated their fellow classmate.The children returned their response with such defiance  and refuse to apologize for their behavior. I would ask  them again to apolgize, but to change their attitude on how they spoke to their classmate. Finally, both students apologize and wanted to be friends. At the end I would offer my punishment, because their behavior was unacceptable. Their punishment may have been no recess the next day or maybe sit out a particular game. The lesson is to think about what you have done and not to repeat the same behavior over and over again. It was to let them know that certain things will be withheld from them.

I so  often think about our Heavenly Father.We are His children. We are a family. People of God the story above depicts the Body of Christ. "If my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land" 2Chron.7:14. People of God we as a people must begin to humble ourselves and begin to fast and pray like never before.We are in a very critical time. God is looking for His people to return back to Him. He's looking for an apology.We must begin to change our thinking.God has great things waiting for His people.But we must return back to Him. Maybe you have slipped or went backward in your walk with the Lord, maybe you have offended someone with your words or maybe you're angry with God.? All in all find that quiet place in your home, apartment or place of business and talk with the Father. Tell Him you're sorry.Let the Father know you're repenting and you're going to return back to Him.Begin to ask the Father for His help and Holy Spirit for His assistance.
People of God, I serve and awesome God. He's a good God. His desire is to shower you with His presence and flood you with His joy and give you His peace.Without God, I wouldn't have made it thus far. On a daily basis, I make repentance a part of my communication with God. I don't want to get so complacent in this Christian walk that I don't feel a need to repent.
Take time get in His word and seek His face and let Him speak to you.
God Loves You Very Much......................
