One Child's Junk Another Child's Treasure

My husband loves junk, on the other hand, I don't. I have a scenario that if I haven't used it in a while or if it hasn't been used in a while it is considered junk. Even if I do consider it junk that doesn't mean it still can't be of use to someone else. Something that I can't seem to get any use out of, someone else can. I have been able to use things that other people considered their junk but in turn served a purpose for me.

The other day as my husband was making one of his trips to the landfill, he came across a couple of things that he brought home. One was a trash can for outdoors. I already have a trash can and I like my trash can because I know it's my trash that is put in there and no one elses. He wanted to switch my trash can with the one he found at the landfill, that didn't set too well on my stomach, so I fussed until he switched it back. Now he uses the one he found at the landfill to put cans in. I can deal with that.

The other item he found ended up being a treasure to my little boy. After a good washing and pumping up the tires it practically looks like a new bike. My little boy calls it his new bike. He already has a bike but he still takes pride in this one. So, some good things can be found at the landfill, even if I don't like junk.



When looking at others who have messed up in life we sometimes will judge them in the same manner as we judge our junk. We want to throw them away and have nothing else to do with them. I am so thankful that God isn't like that. When he saved me, He took me out of the landfill so to speak and gave me a bath in the blood of Jesus. Now I am no longer junk, I am His treasure! He can do the same for you!

The Only Way!!!!!

I realize this video has been around for a while and some of you have probably already seen it, but I felt within my spirit the need to share these words. Please do not buy into the lies of the enemy!! Please read these words before you watch this video and then read them again after you watch it!! Let it sink deep into your spirit that JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!

Jesus is the Way .... The Only Way!
John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME."

Being a good person is not the way, showing love and kindness to others will not save you, giving all you have to the poor will not grant you access into heaven .... there is nothing you can do on your own to earn salvation....JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN... Only by receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour can you enter into the kingdom of God.

Don't let the devil deceive you by believing there is some other way, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY!!! John 8:44b For he (the devil) is a liar and the father of it.

Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye, and believe the gospel."

To believe the gospel , is to believe "...that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:3b-4)

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him." John 3:36

The Blood

One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.

It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son. The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting.

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak. He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this: "My fiancée's past is not what is on trial here.. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"

The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely.. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.

What can wash away my sins?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!
