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.
