Lessons of the Little Children
It's one of the first lessons we learn in life--you make a mess, you clean it up. We tend to forget that, but it's still a lesson we need as adults. When Zacchaeus came to salvation, he didn't say, praise God I am saved-- I ripped off people and it doesn't matter because I am saved. No, he said, "I'm going back because I sinned against others, I'm going to make it right. If I have wronged them, I'm going to pay back four times." Grace isn't to make you irresponsible, it's to make you responsible to the Lord and to others. The sign of an adult is to fix, redeem. Did you make a mess in your life, hurt someone, gossip? Go back and clean it up. Make good and lift up that person. Do you have enemies? Do good, bless them. God will bless you. Until you clean them up, in some way you'll be living it. Whatever good you can do, do it. God will bless you. If you made a mess, clean it up. It's that simple.

Today's Mission
Make amends with anyone you have wronged inrnany way before you enter into the Lord's presence today. Keep a clean slate and walk humbly before God.

Matthew 5:44
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
“You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the supple moves of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that. If you simply say hello to those who greet you, do you expect a medal? Any run-of-the-mill sinner does that.

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach bless you,
Love, Lizzy
