Aren't you glad Jesus isn't that way.

Dear Diary,

 I went to church today. This morning I was standing out in the main lobby visiting
with my church family when all of a sudden I looked up and saw a familiar face entering.
And all of a sudden I wanted to hide; and actually I looked at my friend and said hide me she
new exactly what I meant because she saw this person to. Don't get me wrong I like this
person well enough just not today. Aren't you glad Jesus isn't that way.
    
            Anyway realizing what a but head I was being I stepped out from behind my friend
and went over and greeted her. Asked her how she was doing and she says to me I need to
talk to you so we went off to the side and she told me her brother had passed away a month
ago and had no money to bury him think I felt bad before I really felt like a heel then in my
defense I haven't been feeling well. So trying to shake off my lack of compassion at that
moment, inwardly thanking God for not treating me this way.
       
     What is it that paul says in,  Romans 7:15-16
I don't understand myself at all, for I really want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do the very thing I hate.
I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong, and my bad conscience shows that I agree that the law is good.
 
And then to Top it off we had a meeting down stair for candy festival today, so I invited this friend to join
us if she would like and she did. I found a place to sit so did she but it was in the back where no one else was sitting. Someone brought in Pizza I got a piece didn't even offer her a piece, aren't you glad Jesus isn't this way Jerrie .
  I know she is a big girl but still it isn't easy being the new kid on the block. Oh it gets better. I realized the time, and decided I needed to head back home to Longview so I get up and say good bye to everyone except Yep you guessed it i totally forgot about my friend, half way to where i was going the Lord said Jerrie did you forget something and I said oh *%#! and turned around went back to the Church. I was praying she was still there, so I hurried down stairs and there she sat, as I entered my really good friend said did you forget something  didn't even respond went straight to my other friend not caring who heard what I said to her. I told that I was so sorry I forgot about you; (Aren't you glad Jesus isn't like that Jerrie)
   
I asked her if she would like a ride home she said no but I will walk you out. We visited a moment
and she went on her way and I went on mine. About two blocks away the Lord spoke to me and said did anyone pray for her today and I said I don't think so He instructed me to turn around and get her, I said really I just want to go home, It's not about what you want Jerrie it is about what she needs and she needs prayer so I turn around again and got her and asked her if anyone had offered to pray with her and she said no. I told her i needed to make quick stop to pick up something from my friend on my way out of town and that we would pray for her and that is how my day ended in Vancouver Wa.

 Praise you Jesus for Loving my friend enough to send a sinner like myself to pray for her and I blieve showing her that We are imperfect creatures and also showing her your Love.

             Aren't you glad Jesus Isn't like that.
