and now the News from NI
So Northern Ireland really is getting all the headlines this week. Monday seen a historic coming together of two bitter enemies as Mr Paisley and Mr Adams came together publicly for the first time – united in bringing a future and a hope to the people of Northern Ireland, ok there was no handshake but it was the step in the right direction – God says in His word, Blessed are the Peace makers – Not the Peace Keepers so I truly believe this is not only a good thing, but also a God thing, and I would endorse You to continue to pray for the leaders in our own wee government in the months ahead as they setup a New Local government, Pray for the safety and protection of all the local politicians, and let them know you are praying for them, I was talking to someone yesterday who was telling me of a friend who had given a tract to Mr Adams recently, Mr Adams response was ‘Please pray for me’ – These guys need prayer because they know it works – so lets cover them all in prayer – Just a few minutes every day!
No Matter what your religious viewpoint may be, no human needs to be making enemies and keeping enemies, this division in any walk of life causes a deep and bitter pain. As Believers we really need to be leading the way in our community, Loving people from every nation coming into our towns, Loving people from every religion coming into our towns and so on. The Greatest Gift talked about in Corinthians in the Gift of love. The fact of the matter is that they to are Gods creation, they to are Loved by God, they to have a destiny. Every life has a label on it, Work Done or Work in Progress, another words as Bill Hybels would say Saved or Seeking. Never Rule Anyone out of Salvation, only God has the right to do that!
Remember we are called to Love people, and not their Sin! – There is a big difference.
A Big Congrats to the Super Leeds United Star Mr Healy, Scoring both goals last night in Northern Irelands Mighty Home Win over Sweden, Nice to See northern Ireland Top of the Group! Come on the Lads!
been thinking about this myself recently how we can just not bother with it and just let what goes on in this country take care of itself but we should be praying for these politicians and leaders who have an influence in northern ireland and its future, its our wee country and we have to live in it. lets continue to pray daily for them.
Also thanks for giving Leeds a mention mate its the only time they get mentioned these days, ill give you that tenner at the weekend..
