What is your nature? Really, WHAT IS YOUR NATURE!?!?!

Good morning everyone!  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
   So, did you think about yesterday's study?  How is your flock?  Hmmm!  Proverbs has a lot to offer if we just take time to stop and read it.  There are 30 chapters in Proverbs, so read 1 a day and then the months that have 31 days take a break for a day.  A good Bible resource is:  biblegateway.com  This is a place you can look up scripture, topics or words.
    What is your nature?  What is the nature of God?  If we look in the old testament, many times, we get the wrong idea of God.  He just liked war, violence, taking over people.  This is so far from God's true nature.  The old testament had laws that governed the land to show the people their sin and their need for God.
    Jesus was the perfect representation of God (Heb. 1:3)   JESUS said if we have seen Him, we have seen the Father (John 14:9).  Jesus did what the Father did and showed us that God is love. (1 John 4:8) It says if you don't know love, you don't know God, for God is love.
    Jesus was constantly accused of breaking the law, which he did not.  Politics was as vicious in Jesus' day as it is today.  (John 8:1-11) Jesus forgave a woman accused of adultery and condemned to death; Jesus sat and dined with publicans and sinners (the Sadducee, and Pharisees would not)(Matt. 9:11); Jesus touched the untouchable, the lepers (Matt. 8:3); Jesus loved the unloveable (Luke 8:1-15).
   Then Jesus spoke in a parable about the sower.  Some seeds fall on rocky ground, some among thorns, some by the wayside, and some on fertile ground. Jesus explains some will see yet not see; some will listen yet not hear. Seeds by the wayside the devil will come and take; on rocky ground will rejoice, yet have no roots and will wither; the ones in the thorns are choked out with the pleasures of life; ¹⁵ But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
 What is your nature?  With love as God is love and ¹¹ Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
   What is your nature?  Can you or will you walk as Jesus did, among sinners showing LOVE and planting seeds?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace,
