I see at my new work place by
just taking a listen at break time, lunch, etc that many are so quick to judge
others, make assumptions without really knowing someone. How can you know someone else’s life if you
just met them? And to then turn yourself
away from them because of these assumptions?
Pushing them away, dismissing them yet you really have no idea what is
in that person.
This week I am adjusting to all
things new; job, co-workers, schedules and well just Life is a new again. Some things change and some stay the
same. I have been praying much on this
new direction my life is taking. All the
while reading my Bible daily with my church as well as the 1 John Study with my
Facebook group (for more information go to goodmorningirls.org)
On this day I am reading and reflecting on 1 John 1:5-7 then
vs. 8-9
Walking in the Light
This is the
message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and
in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while
we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if
we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
Wednesday~ 1
John 1:8-9
If we say we
have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
And all this~~ God brought me

When you throw your
stone
Aim it at the heart
Where every crime comes from
Where every stumble starts
And save the next for me
Muster all your skill
‘Cause sin in secrecy
Is the hardest kind to kill
CHORUS:
Lay me down with the liars
Brawlers, thieves and backbiters
Lay me down with the others
‘Cause I’m no better
There’s no justice here
It’s just as well you know
We’ve all got hell to pay
And grace pays all we owe
CHORUS
CHORUS 2:
Lay me down with the takers
Politicians, cheats and heart breakers
Lay me down with the others
‘Cause I’m no better
Aim it at the heart
Where every crime comes from
Where every stumble starts
And save the next for me
Muster all your skill
‘Cause sin in secrecy
Is the hardest kind to kill
CHORUS:
Lay me down with the liars
Brawlers, thieves and backbiters
Lay me down with the others
‘Cause I’m no better
There’s no justice here
It’s just as well you know
We’ve all got hell to pay
And grace pays all we owe
CHORUS
CHORUS 2:
Lay me down with the takers
Politicians, cheats and heart breakers
Lay me down with the others
‘Cause I’m no better
And a Prayer to Share…
Heavenly Father, I pray for forgiveness for all my sin, Lord
even the ones I think you may have forgot, for you know all Lord, you know my heart and my mind. I long to see the
world as you see it; help me to treat others as you have taught me in your
Word. Help me to be the reflection of you and for others to see you through me.
Help me to have the words and the way to walk in the light and to share this
with others.
In Jesus name I pray. Amen

I have never done the GMG bible study, but it seems like it is really good. I need to think about doing it next time around.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for linking up to Thankful Tuesdays :)
I've been there and it's hard...being in a new workplace trying to find my place without conforming to the world in order to fit in.
ReplyDeletePraying for you as you adjust to the changes in your life and that your light will shine brightly in your new workplace.
I love your prayer and have made it mine as well.
I pray God blesses you in your new job and uses you as his light to those around. May you be found faultless and blameless in the midst of those who do not follow him.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, this totally happened to me this weekend. I was talking with someone who totally judged a complete stranger on the basis they had dated their boyfriend for 10 years prior to marriage. My heart was pierced as I realized how ugly that sounded. Lord, help me guard my heart and words!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new job. I will also be praying for God's direction. I know how hared it it when you start a new job and what many people think of christians, as i work in a factory.I hear all the time if i happen to do something wrong ("Oh it will be ok on Sunday") Just goes to show you what people realy think about you sometimes.
