THE HALL EXPERIENCE…

By Anita Mondragon
 

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment you judge with, you shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete out, it shall be measured to you again.

And why do you see the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?-Matthew 7:1-3

It’s been said that confession is good for the soul.  So…I guess it’s time for me to come clean on something from my past.  Keep in mind, this event lasted only a few moments…but it revealed the content of my heart. 

 This was years ago, and I was shocked at what I saw in myself then.  Problem is…at times, I still struggle with the same feelings.  You know…when you come face to face with someone who thinks they are superior to everyone else?  Yeah…you all know what I’m talking about! 

So…I sat down and wrote this.  My Office Manager was the worst…I’m sure we’ve all had one!  The following, is an experience I had one day when passing her in the hall-way.  It was a REAL eye-opener for it showed me the state of my heart in regards to her.  

See if you can identify…Betcha can! -anita

Yesterday, I was in the garage, going through some things.  I ran across a huge box of stuff I had written years ago.  Here is one of the things I found.  -anita


EGBERT

Here is a little story I wrote for my grandchildren back in ‘2000.  It’s silly, but has a moral, and although it was written for children, there is a lesson in it that we can all learn.  Enjoy! -anita

YOUR PRESENCE

By Anita Mondragon
Where can I go from Your Spirit?  Or where can I flee from Your  presence?  If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.  If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,…even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.  Psalms 139:7-10 Read more…


THE TENTH…OR, TITHE

By Anita Mondragon

When folks hear the word, ‘Tithe’, they usually turn the volume down.  Why is that?  Because no one wants to give their hard-earned money away…not to anyone, especially to God!

The thing that most Christians fail to realize is that God DOES NOT, I repeat…DOES NOT NEED your money!  He just wants your obedience.  He wants us to depend upon Him for our needs. Read more…


STOP LABELING!!

By Anita Mondragon

Has there ever been a time in your life that you’ve felt you’re “too far gone” for God’s love to reach you?  Perhaps you’ve committed a heinous crime against society…rape, murder, theft, or the like, and now you’re in prison.  Maybe it was a sin against your spouse…an affair.  Perhaps you’re an addict of drugs or alcohol.  Maybe you belong to God, you’re saved, born-again…a Believer, but you’ve strayed far from home, wallowed in the sinful life you lived before you come to know the Savior, and now you wonder if God’s mercy and grace will stoop to hear your prayers asking for forgiveness.

When God looks at us, it’s through eyes of love.  He doesn’t label us.


GOD WILL MAKE A WAY…

By Anita Mondragon
 found something my husband wrote a long time ago.  It was hidden in a drawer…deep within the pages of a note-book.  When I read it…I thought about the following verses in Isaiah.  Take a look—then, take heart!  God WILL make a way…through, and out of whatever predicament you find yourself in! -anita
