Really it will be very
Hard as it is the first time
Over in our own family that is
Moving away from the state of
Tennessee and that over in the two
Getting married and having their honeymoon
While making their home over some few hours away
Zeroing in on how it will affect over in
Our family...
Moving away to a city that is
Bigger than the one we live in East TN
Really will be a culture shock
Still as long as they have in
God in their lives and knowing
Just how that both she and her
Soon to be new husband will be
Having to deal with in moving as
In also herself being a teacher for the...
My niece that is 26-years old
Will be getting married as this is
Being written on Saturday May 23rd.
Knowing that she is marrying a
Man that God had chosen as the man
Who is or will be 34-years old
In being a former Army Ranger turned
Federal law enforcement agent as can't say the
Name over in...
In the prayers over in the
Pharisee and in the prayers over in the tax
Collector are like night and day
One that is grandstanding and wants
Both praise and attention while the
Other that prayers over for repentence
Forgiveness and redemption and knowing the
Latter in doing so many people wrong...
Just remember the prayers that
You and I need to pray should be
About over in the tax collector
Who felt ashamed and felt really
Needing to come clean and admit
He was a sinner and did so not to
Seek attention but to seek both
Forgiveness and repentance as well as
Over in seeking on redemption...
Not like the Pharisee who
Only prayed just to get himself
Attention and praise and that
It is seen as arrogant and attention
Seeking and that God doesn't want
Us to pray and use our prayers to
Target people who we think is
Beneath us like that over in the
Pharisee just did like that and
Really...
We should never at all
Allow others to know what we are
Praying for and only to God as
It should be between God and you
You and I need to be only talk to and
With God even and that only we
Need to not let like in the lessons
Over in the right hand not knowing
As the left hand is doing and
Vice...
Zeroing in on prayers and in the
Lots over in how we need to not
Let your right hand from our left
Hand and how that praying over in
Quiet yet effective prayers that should
Only be between God and us and only
The two of us should be praying and
Not at all do it for attention but to
Do so as...
Really two prayers and one
Who had or wanted attention and
The other who was washed with guilt
He finally got redemption and hopefully he
Ended up in the righting a wrong and
Apologizing over on his sins but sadly the
Pharisee didn't get on only putting attention to
Himself and not pray a humble...
Sadly the Pharisee much less the
Tax collector as in the prayers
Are suppose to be heard only
By God and only to God and
How that when the former did the
Praying and how he got his
Just rewards on the earth and
When we pray to others and acting
Like we want attention it is bad and
Really...
Remember that prayers are
Suppose to be secret and that
Only God and the person that is praying
Are in the need to not be
Known as really it should be
For in the tax collector as he
Was really humbled and it seems
God got a huge hold on him
It may have been done with being
Washed with guilt and...
It is how the tax collector
As you and I can only hope that
Really turned his life around and
Knowing that he made amends with
Others he had wronged and how
He paid back over on those that he
Ended up robbing and hoping that they had
Forgiven him as maybe he was moved and
Changed inside out and...
Now it didn't say what happened
To both the Pharisee and the tax
Collector in the story after they
Prayed but that it is sadly to say
How the Pharisee got his reward on the
Earth that the rewards here over on the earth
Just are temporary and how that he
Shows his arrogance and self-entitlement...
You see that is where
Over in such a loud prayer
From the arrogant and very much
Attention seeking Pharisee and to
Get a job well done or a pat on the
Back but for the tax collector that
Didn't want anybody at all to see him
Praying and to keep that between him &
Just God and how it is where...
The tax collector hopefully had a
Change of heart and that he finally
Got his life straightened out and really
Began the process over in healing in those
He did wrong while the Pharisee sadly got his
So-called "reward" over in heaven and
Jesus doesn't like grandstanders as He
Really prefers...
