if I reject you, I reject JESUS


I simply spoke and listened to someone I didn't know well.  He then came by the house and stuck around.  My husband and family were not too happy about it and to tell the truth it made me uncomfortable.  So on the next occasion when he came near, I drew back. That was a week ago.
 
Today was very busy and after feeding my grandkids I laid on my bed to get my swollen and hurting leg up and opened my Bible. 
 
Luke 10:16  (JESUS was talking)   anyone who listens to you, listens to ME and anyone who rejects you is rejecting ME and anyone who rejects ME is rejecting GOD who sent ME.
 
As I thought on that verse, I remembered there was a prayer gathering soon to start and asked GOD if I should go?  The pain that had been so intense had ebbed away so I knew I was to go.  Therefore it wasn't long before I was gathered with others singing praise songs with a video.  And the LORD spoke through the words of a song.  It was about HIS love always being there even when we didn't measure up.  Then the next music video had a line about drawing near and I knew the LORD was convicting me.  It was like GOD was saying, why are you asking ME to draw near when you drew away.  For when you do it to the least of these my brothers, you have done it to me.
 
I had to confess to GOD and those joined to pray and am so aware of what those words mean.  How I praise the LORD that HIS mercies fail not and that if I confess, HE will forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.  I John 1:9
 
Yet, I am so sad that I made someone feel rejected.  I want to make it right.  Will you pray for me?  I need wisdom in communicating acceptance.  Isn't it awesome to know that GOD loves to hear and answer prayer and loves it even more when HIS children unite (become one) as they pray for the same concern?
 
Thank you ahead for joining me in prayer for wisdom for me.
hugs
