people let us down

hey y`all!
today was the best day everrr. i loved it. i went to chruch this morning & pastor chad preached a great sermon which ima talk about in a few minutes. and then i went out to eat with a bunch of people from the church & then we went to brads && watched movies until time to go up to the church for VBS. all of the adults & students that put so much time into VBS did a GREAT job. and all the kids did wonderful at the performance! and pastor chad said 10-12 people accepted Christ?! thats amazing.

pastor chad preached on how people let us down this morning. it was a really good sermon so ima tell y`all the key points from it. the verse he used this morning was Isaiah 53:3, "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not" So anyway, pastor chad told us we should be able to take the persecution with help from Jesus because he could take it. he told us as Christians we need to live with thicker skin, to not let all the bad things bother us and get in the way of Gods plan for us. we shouldnt get caught up in what others say about us or do to us, we need to keep doing what God is leading us to do no matter what. the second thing pastor chad said was that we need to live with a soft heart. when we're saved we get a new heart, a heart of flesh and we need to be kind and compassionate to others. when others persecute us we need to treat them better than they are treating us. so the truth is, yes, people will ALWAYS let us down. but Jesus? he'll never let us down. and we always need to depend on him because he is the only one that can meet all of our needs perfectly
i love y`all!
God Bless!
