Not Wishing Anyone Should Perish,

Rather that all should come to Him through repentance. That
really illustrates the love and mercy of God. We should always
remain steadfast in clinging to what Jesus showed us. Where
there is sin, there needs to be repentance, forgiveness and
reconciliation. That is a reinstatement in the knowledge that He
has actually forgiven us. Our part of that is that after the total
acceptance of His forgiveness we should strive to not sin again.
Scripture says none of is perfect, that means that we will sin as
we will never be perfect here. Always we will struggle to follow
Jesus and never abandon His ways. When we start to skip out
on our own, we will surely fail. With all that we have within us,
we need to pour ourselves out to Him. We need to say to Him
without equivocation; speak Lord I'm listening, let your words
down deep in me.

When I was a child , not more than four years old, a group of neighborhood boys took me, put me on my dog's house and tied a rope around my neck. The threw the other end of the rope over a limbe of the avocado tree in our back yard, then pushed me off the roof of the dog house. Happily for me the rope was a cotton rope, not too whide a guage, and it broke, but not without having given me one dilly of a ropeburn on the side of my neck.

I was frightened but not angry at the boys who did it, rather I ran into the house to my Mom to tell her. I do not kowwhat happened after that but the point here is how children are and how perhaps, adults are. I went rght to my Mom, not angry just wanting her to knowand dowhatever was needed. Had my Dad beenhome I am certain I would have gone to him……..

Look back at your attitudes as a child, and now, take all to the Father for we do not knowwhat action should be taken if any….

Never understand why perish is defined as burning in a scolding hot fire for a week, year Hell ten billion then the fun is just a beginning.🤔
