Listen To The Words I Speak

Yesterday I discovered that listening to God is as important to speaking to him, I realised that it is rather rude to speak to someone without letting them respond. So basically all Christians need to pray then wait and listen. I tried doing this today but I didn't hear anything, aparently it takes practice, but I did have a great sense of peace. So even though I didn't get what I wanted from the experience it helped me in another way. Tomorrow I have an exam which is basically my only chance to get into a University course, my grades at school are not good enough to get me in on their own but if I can pass this assessment and interview then I will be getting into a course I really feel God is pulling me towards. This course is fitting with the job I mentioned ago so I would be moving southwards. To my Christian readers I ask you to pray for me, to any non-Christian readers I ask you to pray for me, or at least think about me tomorrow.

Though I Know You Don't Believe

The other day I found out my wife's sister has an exam on the 30th so today I sent her an email saying that I would pray for her that day, though she is unsure what she believes the responce I got was very positive from my point of view. All she said was 'Oh thank you! So sweet' but the fact that she didn't reject the idea felt very important to me, my wife is often worried that her family won't find God and won't see his love so any step towards success means a lot. I am glad that she felt my prayer would be useful to her, even though she perhaps doesn't believe.

Forgiveness

No matter how much we as humans give into our desires and commit sins God still chooses to forgive us. Why? Because he just does. God chooses to forgive our sins no matter how many times we sin, no matter how many sins we commit no matter how many times we do something we can't even forgive ourselves for God still forgives us. He loves us and wants us to be happy and so when we sin he forgives us. The only difference between us as chrisitians and the rest of people is we try to avoid sinning, I will admit that this is still very hard but we try and we can ask God to help us with this. To be honest we are no better than other people because we all sin even if we try not to, I myself often sin, I try so hard and ask God's help but quite often I fall into the same patterns of things like not respecting my mother and telling lies. To be fair God chooses to forgive us because he just wants to, he has no reason to, there is nothing that forces him to but he just does. I think we should all try to take example of this, even the non christians, and try and forgive people when they upset us and hurt us, when they do something they shouldn't and when they do things that offend us, just relax, keep chilled, and forgive them (even if they don't say sorry).
