                         This is a children's story that I presented two months ago that I just felt convicted to share. This blog is not by any means going to become my flagship blog but rather will be to bless those who should be given the wonderful opportunity to speak to children and adults alike. It is my prayer that the lessons presented in this in-particular blog will be a blessing to some. That said the blog wherein the "meat" is to be found will be Bible Studies (Jesus is coming soon!) http://jesuswilldeliverhischildren.blogspot.com/

please check that out. 

Thank you and may you be blessed

Now this week I have a story I have wanted to share, it is the story of Joseph and Tim;

Joseph was raised Adventist and knew the truth from young age, Tim was his best friend. Joseph knew all about eating vegan because he had been given light in the spirit of prophecy; but he never told Tim about it because he didn’t want to hurt Tim’s feelings or anything...

Joseph knew all about the state of the dead and he knew what the bible said, but he never shared it with Tim, so Tim did not know but always wondered what was going to happen and why Jesus needed to return if people went to Heaven right away anyway…

Joseph kept all the Ten Commandments, but even though Tim loved Jesus he didn’t really know what that meant and he was always looking for ways to please God but just never felt like he quite could, and Joseph never wanted to make Tim feel bad so he did not share the truth with Tim.

Finally they grow up, Tim has a friend named Dale who is an atheist; and he tells his friend all about what he knows about Jesus, Joseph grows up and just hopes the best for both Tim and Dale, but he has no desire to share his light with either one…

                When Jesus comes back to bring us all home who do you suppose He is going to want in Heaven, Tim, or Joseph?

                 Jesus loves them both, but Joseph was ashamed of Jesus wasn’t he? Joseph was too scared, and he valued what he thought of his relationship with Tim more than he valued Tim’s soul. Jesus says in Luke 9:26 that “Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the son of man will be ashamed of...”

Now I think that this is a promise to us, if we share our love of Jesus, and share what He has done for us, and the light He has shared with us, than He will not be ashamed of us, and He will give us strength all the day, He will never abandon those who love Him. So go and tell the world the things that Jesus has taught you.
