SO WHAT LOVE? WILL WE THROW AWAY THE HARD TO LOVE PEOPLE?
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
Seems I often find myself FEELING A SERMON I COULD NEVER TEACH OR PREACH...
I look into people's faces an read a history of WOE, pain, grief, SIN SCARS...
And I know there is GOOD NEWS --- RESURRECTION NEWS...
I FEEL A SERMON I CAN NEVER PREACH OF AMAZING GRACE...
AS I WAS WALKING YESTERDAY --- I WAS PRAYING FOR SOME REALLY MESSED
UP PEOPLE AND FAMILIES... I FELT SOMETHING REAL IN MY SPIRIT---
DO YOU REALLY CARRY ABOUT THOSE --- THEY CAN NEVER CHANGE?
Luke 6:32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that
love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners
also do even the same.
I love to pray.
When I walk in the Mall and listen to Bible.
When I am walking outside on the road, I pray, I think I might now hear an approaching car?
Today I was praying for every cousin on both sides of my family.
MY AUNT LOUISE TOLD ME THERE WAS ONLY ONE REASON SHE DREADED DYING.
I asked: WHY?
She said: There will be no one to pray for my sons...
May one could have been labeled "THROW AWAY."
I never throw any person away.
Then I focused intense prayer for what many would call "throw away" people.
People very scarred from all the wrong choices.
I have learned scarred hands reach scarred people.
God does not "throw away" any one.
God can recycle people.
I have always loved "throw away" people, I dream of change in Jesus name.
Never give up on yourself or on other people.
IF I ERR, MAY I ERR TO THE SIDE OF MERCY...
Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
I WAS SITTING IN A VERY SMALL ROOM, WITH A WINDOW RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
AT MIDNIGHT THE CURTAIN IN FRONT OF ME WOULD BE DRAWN...
A MAN WOULD DIE BY LETHAL INJECTION TWO FEET AWAY FROM ME.
I WOULD BE STANDING AT HIS RIGHT HAND...
The offended family of the boy that was slain at 16 years of age would be standing at his
feet.
There were approximately 15 people straight across from me as state witnesses and news
reporters.
ALL OF A SUDDEN A PANIC CAME OVER ME...
As I was representing his mother and family, I THOUGHT I AM BEING ASSOCIATED WITH
A CRIMINAL --- I AM IN THE WRONG ROOM...
ALMOST INSTANTLY A GREAT INNER PEACE CAME OVER ME ---
I CLEARLY FELT WITH THIS PEACE: JESUS SAID ---
I AM IN THIS ROOM WITH YOU!
I immediately took off my gold cross and necklace and was holding it in my right hand.
When the curtain was drawn up, I LIFTED THE CROSS BEFORE THE MAN'S EYES.
HE GLANCED AT ME AND FOCUSED ON THE CROSS.
That man in prison, on death row, is some mother's son, she cries herself to sleep praying
for him.
Thank God, the Potter does not throw away the clay.
MY PRECIOUS FRIEND --- HARD TO LOVE PEOPLE ARE REAL...
HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE...
BUT KNOW THIS: MARRED CLAY IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY ---
GOD NEVER THROWS AWAY THE CLAY...
MARRED:messed up, hurt, damaged, TO RUIN THE BEAUTY ---
Jeremiah 18:3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another
vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the
potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
GOD'S PLAN IS CLEAR--- SURE CLAY GETS MARRED
REMEMBER ME? JESUS DIED WITH A SINNER...
ONE DIED IN SIN; ONE DIED TO SIN; ONE DIED FOR SIN...
Luke 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
THE RELIGIOUS CROWD CONDEMNED THJE SON OF GOD BECAUSE HE LOVED THE
HARD TO LOVE THROW AWAY PEOPLE.
Matthew 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man
gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified
of her children.
WHY? WHY? HARD TO LOVE PEOPE? THROW AWAY PEOPLE?
