I wish something nice would happen to me. :(
Ever. :(
St. Jude took an interest in your finances!
Very cool!
Something nice has happened to you. Jesus died for you. I must admit that I had not been living the way I needed too until about a month ago. I was a Christian, but had fallen into thinking I was in control. I repented, prayed, got into the Bible and it has been amazing. God has shown me a handful of these little miracles in a months time and has reassured me that he is in control of everything....even something as seemingly small as $20 worth of barbeque.
..as you sow, so shall you reap...
Do good & it always comes back 10 times over!!
Jesus hates me.
I did good and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Nope, Jesus died for us all. He doesn’t hate you - he didn’t come to judge you...he came to save you.
“And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” (John 12:47-48)
Who could blame Him ;)
I came up short $20 at the bank and now I know who has it.
But if you send the $20 to me now we’ll just forget the whole thing!
Wonderful happening for you! Some seem not to realize that there are times when $20 is all the difference in the world!
So glad your life has been touched.
It really has little to do with good works. All fell short of the glory of God, even those whose spirit is good and have done many good deeds. The only way to Heaven and to God is through Jesus.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:23-24)
Dude, you don't understand. I got a direct call, from Jesus Himself, on my cell phone.
Larry: Hello?
Jesus: Hello. Is this Larry?
Larry: Yeah.
Jesus: Hi, It's Jesus.
Larry: Jesus who?
Jesus: (annoyed) Jesus CHRIST.... you know, the one who died for your sins.
Larry: Oh! Hey! That was cool. I appreciate ya, dawg.
Jesus: Yeah, well, I didn't die for yours.
Larry: Huh?
Jesus: Yeah. I think you suck.
Larry: Whoa!
Jesus: You suck, you smell funny, and you have a bunch of obnoxious habits. I ***ing hate your guts.
Larry: Wow!
Jesus: So I didn't die for your sins.
Larry: This sucks!
Jesus: Look, I gotta go. Stop calling me, okay?
Larry: You called me!
Jesus: Oh yeah.
Yeah, but Jesus hates me.
So I'm screwed.
...dude, turn yerself in to the ad mod...
Ad Mod hates me too.
Indeed. God is both Good and Awesome.

LOL - I'm sorry I shouldn't laugh; but seriously, there's times I feel the same way. (Like when I got deployed to Iraq.) The truth is that Satan WANTS you to doubt, and disbelieve, and spend your time worrying and miserable.
Read the sermon on the mount (around Mat 6: 28-29), Jesus talks about something similar, the flowers in a field don't sew or toil and yet they're beyond even Solomon's greatness.
You're smart, you'll see the connection.
