If
you are familiar with computers, you know that you can try a
software program before you buy it. Many of us have tried
shareware programs. However, we need to realize that Jesus
is not Shareware!
Many
times we treat Jesus like He is a shareware program. We
have tried everything else and it didn’t seem to work so we
decide to give Jesus a try. May God forgive us! I can tell
you on the Authority of the Word of God that it is never the
fault of Jesus if something goes wrong in our lives.
I
have heard many people say that their prayers were not
answered. We need to search our hearts and see if there is
something we need to repent of and ask Him to forgive us.
We think if we say the right prayers then we are sure of God
answering our prayers.
Sometimes our Mom and Dad say no to things we want because
they are not good for us or they will get us into trouble.
If our earthly parents love us enough to guide us, how much
more our Heavenly Father Loves us and will protect us even
if it means saying no to something we want or think that we
need.
Please don’t treat Jesus like shareware. Open your heart
and make a heart commitment and not just a verbal and head
commitment to Him. Jesus deserves to be treated with
Respect and Honor.
