Friday by men. This Romans chapter eight and going to read verses twenty six to twenty eight is being twenty six to thirty Romans chapter eight of a couple of different versions here. I'll I'll read from the whatever version. This is an indie music and IV, and then I'll read from the message Bible. Later Romans chapter eight versus twenty six thirty in the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express and he searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according with God 's will, and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God for nude. He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and those he predestined he also called and those he called he also justified those he justified he also glorified. It is you don't even think well what does that have to do with Mother's Day. Well, did you ever in In re they are raising children. Did you ever find a place for you didn't know what to do it know which way to turn you did know OL I heard the story about eight euros, two young boys. he was talking about how that video, Ernie younger, they were always they were always fighting and so the mother got a Nerf ball. Instead, I want you to go out and play your guitar playing with football and I know no one can get hurt because it's inert ball and in all and no one will get hurt and your brothers is slope. The Nerf ball and water for about a week and then you put it in freezer and it will play with your brother why I I love that was funny, but I was always the younger one now. Now is already on his left leg my wife riding out whether those little situations layout with children and mythology. Ever wonder what you're supposed to do next were you turn it off. How do you solve this problem. Well, when the Scripture Socko also talks to us and speaks to us about wisdom, and about understanding in how that God can help us. Sometimes we forget what it was like to be a child. Sometimes we forget it. We don't remember the situations and circumstances that we grew up in is different than our children no matter how many years it was just a few years are as many years as a lot of differences between when we were a child and when our kids were growing up, and when our kids are growing up. It's it's a matter of change and transition. It's a matter of the society, and no, we just think about the Internet than on how they be accessed. Information and access to people in it. All the things that we can go on one of his throat. We haven't set up, she can take a picture and remotely send it to our return have the print have the picture printed immediately. I never heard of such a thing. Okay, maybe you get, but if you put the ideas that these things are changes in the video used to listen to reach cordage on KQED radio when I was a kid in the bar and him and him and I was wonderful man radio, you know then and I believe that TV that was black and white, and no kids look at TVs and they say what they think they cannot back a picture to an agreement wasn't always flatscreen TVs, so things have changed information access all things are going on as all the Scriptures is a God new verse twenty nine and thirty in the message Bible says God knew what he was doing from the very beginning, he decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same thing. As a life of his son. So no matter how much change and transition goes on in our society, no matter how much is their God still hasn't out my according to the spiritual principle that were given was through Jesus Christ the son stands first in the line of humanity that he restored. We see the original and intended shape of our lives in him. We see the original intended shape of our lives no matter what and how our society changes, it is still a matter of wisdom on law of wisdom of forgiveness letting go of the past. Embracing what God is doing in the present to give us the future after a decision. What these children should be like. He allowed he followed up by calling people by name and after he called them by name. He sent them on a solid base assumptions out and then after getting them establish a state within the end gloriously completing what he had begun so the idea that God has begun to work in us by calling baby wonders how it however, Leslie was calling about having to say that in the other Scriptures and James chapter one verses to do a by brethren, count it all joy when you follow the various trials and children are not trials. But knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing in any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God gives to all liberally and with and without reproach, and he will and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. We have to and our life. This is my first is my first Mother's Day without without my mother. And I'll and and me on. I will miss her phone calls asking Rhonda will want to David for John today as she always calls and wants to know why speak on, but she doesn't talk to me. She was always document level to my wife. And, of course, and in preparation for today, she would probably yesterday and she would solely about the sermon, she heard when she was growing about up growing up about a mother of mine and she she even had with printed in a booklet and she gave me that in a couple of occasions asked me to preach on it because she thought it was a good sermon, I don't have it today's on this, but but if you can think of one cat like to think of one characteristic that would dominate front for my mother, it would be a carrot to get patients. My mother was very patient. She would pray she will wait patiently on God. My brothers were. I was probably the easiest one to raise, but my brothers were not so there, my brothers know whenever they were younger, always with the church, but as they went, the military, and so on college, they may stop growing, and it wasn't that they didn't believe it's just that they know what to say. My one brother was very philosophical and is in his attempt and one brother was totally rebellious and when he wasn't going to do anything about what you said, and now it is gone about more of a good guy now just one of the all round good people, but my mother. She she would pray and she would pray patiently for individuals and I said a number of a number of occasions that and if the latter, her latter years. She couldn't see, but she had a prior less than the least- twenty five people and she would go through them every night, individually and recite their name and pray for them individually in many of you were on that list because she would want to know who was in church and in our and what their needs are and she would pray for the and every night she would go through the last and she didn't have a written down. Chatted in her mind and she remembered everything she remembered everything she remember things when she was a cat. She remembered things, you know, recently she remembered what I mean, she would tell me what I pray since you would tell me what Joel Siegfried somewhat how he prayed certain things that I should use them, but my mom was very patient and she was a very patient individual and I'll do lived on the farm and grew up in. She was a very hard worker. She would get up and go to the wine in the morning and help milk cows and she would haul the milk from the cows back into the milk house, and poured into the big tank, and she would there have, she would know me she was marrying very hard worker and to carry the family got. I mean, when you talk about a person who did lots of things she was. She was there and rated the top of the list, but she was patience as I said it was the characteristics and pages and patients means to wait without becoming annoyed or upset, and she was very much a patient person. While I would have came across the thing is that patients with others. His love patients without this hope patients with God as they so as we think about waiting without becoming annoyed and upset patience with others is your love for them. Patients with self, but you don't get upset and annoyed with yourself is hope in patients with God 's faith. So the week whenever we think of what is involved in this patient's I would think of it in the context of prey and praying the Scriptures, you know, we read the Scriptures and help. I often hear no families and things you nodded your out with the in in stores and around them, and you hear people talk to their children and talk to yell it out amongst themselves, and so on, and how much of it is derogatory how much of it is, is putting people down when you know you're your stupid your dumb God foolish that you know. those words don't belong in our vocabulary. Because if you are patient person. This scripture talks about how that God will give us these the all that his virtues and patience is without becoming annoyed or upset. So as we pray for people. We can actually pray for our children and pray the Scriptures for a big would be given wisdom and guidance. And how can we pray for wisdom and that is demonstrated in ourselves that we are not fully sure what we say, you know, we don't want our children to it. I want your help, we don't want your children to fail. You don't yell you want your children to succeed. I wrote a story about a scientist and they any said you can't remember who would scientist was so please forgive me, not my mother. She remembered everything like my wife, but but the scientist 's annual. What makes you such a great brilliant scientists in these and all my mother and a double what you mean your mother said when I was a little child, I race I was getting out of the refrigerator of a glass jar. Now, and I dropped it and it smashed on the floor and my mother said wow while wanted when updating Matthew may. What a great opportunity. We'll see what works to clean it up. Now we have to look at how we clean this up because it's glass and it went through this whole process of exploring ways to clean up the mess and then she took a glass jar outside in and in the in the yard and sat down with the job instead. Let's see how little hands can hold a big glass jar and felt what she did was anything and was always an exploration. It was always a way of exploring things and how to handle things and how to deal with think it was always an exploration not have frustration patients with others. His love patients with self is hope. Patients with God a thing can we be patient with ourselves and not derogatory to ourselves and as we read the Scriptures we find that God has a purpose for our life and we wake with as for ourselves and for God. We see that God in first Corinthians thirteen love suffers long and if trying love does not envy, love does not parade itself. Love is not. Love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Water quality of life that we would want to have what are qualities of life that we would like to pass on, we must first we pray that God would help us bring these qualities into our own lives and then pass them onto others. Loves to the twisted things of life loves to the tragedies of life loves to secure things the insecure the therapy unfair love is in line at the child. That's good because what if it speak of it speaks of hope. It speaks of patients love finds a way to see things more clearly, love finds a way to see things and Aussie opportunities, and what life has because were not irritated by life should learn those things were. I may get irritated with life. Okay, so now I get what you believe your daily life stand on one foot and raised both hands feel that we get irritated. I mean I can I get irritated when I because I'm not Asian. I'm not like my mother love what do what, why and what is and how they can be molded into the future. Anything that is where prayer and faith and hope in all these things come into play in the wildlife that is part of who we are it is interesting if weight. If we develop OER and as an developer we are as a person. It enables us to share that with our children were not high, and it's time to future is a reality of life in the present that gives us hope for the future. It's a reality of love that embraces anything where we were the most secure children on earth. The most secure children on earth on the children who feel love and we had Christians should be the most secure children on earth because we are the child of God, and there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God, so that security and that hope inside of us does not give us a fear of failing to get Social Security in trying family is not a problem. It's living on after the mistake failure. If you know there if there is someone who is perfect nihilist and sickly standup comedy would stand by now so that I can like that but it was perfect for you is without sin, let him cast the first stone useful to sit down, not get up on interracial birthday, but the idea is that the always sticky of who is perfect. No one is perfect, who is without sin Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. So were not dealing with perfect imperfection were dealing with flaws and how do we overcome these difficulties, Sigma three ways of seeing what was and what is teaching to make choices were taken, how to make choices. How do you reason things out. Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord that your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as wool and figure this out. We normally can't do it on her own because we don't have the ability to embrace our leaders, but God by his grace and his mercy has redeemed us purchased us fund our failures purchased us back from our failures. He has redeemed us and given us all that is that is not only present but it is eternal. It is a hole that he loves us enough he has loved us from before the foundation of the earth. God loved us and called us and had a purpose for life as we noticed that the love of God, how much it is, how great it is for us all that the value that God has for us, as in the giving of needs out we had value in what we give to others spiritual dynamic here, the spiritual principle God 's gave himself for us finding out the value of our relationship with God is based on the value of forgiveness and that relationship coming into our life. Then he tells us, forgive as you have been forgiven of value of life that we pass on doesn't say there's not consequences, or there's not doubt discipline nor timeouts and things like that is saying that we are learning how to give of ourselves in the wisdom and guidance as we are flawed in our character. We make mistakes if we pretend to our children, then we are flawless. We are teaching them wrong, but they know that we are flopping yet we don't see about that. We have failed and we don't quit. We know that God has a way of working together. So how do I work this in my life by the love of God, Peter Lane Manson yell that he wanted for something repeaters in theory, I wanted on through Peter Peterson, Silver and gold have I not know what I have I give you that which is within the topic the past man, and he was healed. God is highly confident of his own plans for each of us. Jeremiah twenty nine eleven. I know what I'm doing in the message Bible. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out plans to take care of you not abandon the plan is to give you the future, you hope for you see, God is still the installation of whole in a home that life cannot take away whether we live or whether we die, we belong to God. My mother is not alive here in this world, but she is alive, and I will see her again because Jesus Christ is alive she is alive. That's the whole of the resurrection. Jesus, the firstfruits of them that slap of those that were he is risen from the data because he lives I shall live also in the same spirit, the raised Christ from the dead dwell in you, he will quicken your mortal bodies. It is it is that life-giving spirit is alive and each of us and it is that whole that is born from that spirit inside the spirit of God, Ezekiel last week, the dry bones. They might even playing with the golf balls yeah, I thought that was funny. Lastly, I love that when you know the less adults, well-qualified Americans on the second is also his prayers as the Dems won't destroy a large and the ideas that we send it out. Gravity citizens got to come back right while the present spiritual principles that we have with God are such that we send them up, God answers our prayers, we can send it up without it coming back trouble is that remember what we did sometimes were praying was a God. I wanted this way that God did answer our prayers. Then he but we have to focus that we focus on God. We focus on his promise, and we watch God answer our prayers was back with the wisdom, guidance, understanding easy guilt because they think he'll ASAP prophesied to these goals. He told Ezekiel prophesied to these vile Ezekiel says the bounds. The same thing. God told him will we say to ourselves what God is speaking to us in his Scripture will we say to our children what God is saying to us in our spirit will we say what God is saying what we say that he loves us with an chain unchallenging love what we say that we forgive the way that God forgives us what we pray about situations that we don't understand the way that God has taught us to pray what we recognize that God is our father and we are in a relationship with God that will last for an eternity. Are we. Are we seeing so what we are going in our prayers and getting in the raising of our children and joy in our lives. We are just reflecting what God has given us why does God tell us that I have to like the anymore net when it's gone, saying he had enough of us. What does it say the riches of his grace is not enough never. So he wants us to understand what that braces. He wants us understand what that mercy is he wants us to have it. This is coming into our lives. Why solutions give it and teach it, and allow his grace and mercy, his love, his forgiveness to reach our children to reach our families got understands what we do not say he understands the frustration in our spirit. The groanings are size are thoughts that we directed him, even God knows what your thoughts are now. It feels what your heart fields. He feels what you don't say to anyone else. He knows those lots, and he understands the because he knows us better than we know ourselves and with all of that in place. He never turns aside with all of that in place. He never pushes us aside. He always brings us he he always brings us closer patients with non- nurses love patients. This whole patients with God 's faith today. Today I can complain about my health, or I can celebrate being alive today, I can moan that it is raining or be joyful that all the girls from the I regress all that I don't have or I can rejoice in everything I do today. I can mourn everything I have lost, or eagerly anticipate what is to come. Today I can complain that I have to work or celebrate having a job today. I can resent the messages and made her give thanks that I have a family. Today I can whine about the housework or celebrate having a whole. Today I can cry over the people who don't care for me or be happy, loving and being loved by those who do the days of choice. I choose I choose what I will be. I choose what I will see I choose what I will do you see, God has a purpose. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. God 's purpose for you and I am far short, it was not an afterthought. God 's purpose for your life and my life was not something he had to come up with on the spare of a moment before the foundation of the earth. He knew they would be here at this moment in time facing the optical to the difficulties and everything that is around us. He knew all of that one would think that is so surprising to me is he not only knows all of my failures. He knows all my failures in the future and he comes back to this moment and still says I love you. I forget we knew all of the hurt that someone would bring into our life would be at this moment love them. You see, that's why it's so important for us to deal with our past. The gives us hope in the presence that gives us the future to look forward to why God tells us to forgive what what judgment being with God. Don't take it on ourselves. The judge was a child I said, refusing, though not at the cross my smug decisions that I have done. I understand that others have done to me are nailed to the cross. Sometimes we put ours sits on the cross, say, God forgive me, but the sins that other people have done for us to us with a hard time forgiving those in letting them go. But you see the cross covers all sins. What I have done to God and to others and what others have done to me. I forgive them and let them go because in that attitude of forgiveness. I can now take away the failures of my life, the obstacles that I feel other people have put in front of me and I can remove them from who I am and who I will be, and I have a future with God. I have hope for the future. Now there's one other thing. In Romans chapter eight the last verse and I need I need I need a tiny baby who clings the mother to have a baby who cleans the mother back there. She's on the floor can you bring her here bring her up here. It would if if she enough and I had that don't make her cry just yet say that for me. Yes, yes, yes, of course. All you okay Iran, the salvation hopefully will work and I would have to have or not. I night so and hopefully shall be strange for this moment would you like to come to you. I thank you published to that. Anyhow, here's a usually my lap by our little grandson Jackson. You reach for him. He does the design of Apple Vermont. I forget I cannot get between me and my mother family how he got that I it says in Romans chapter eight. It says I'm absolutely convinced that nothing, nothing, living or dead angelic and demonic today or tomorrow higher low thinkable or unthinkable. Absolutely nothing to get between us and God 's love and when I read that I thought my grandson Jackson how that she likely it is wow. I guess this is clearly illustrated without the food that nothing can get between when somebody was too late to start over and over that they have not thinking get between God 's love and in us like that but you get the illustration when your child hangs on your neck won't let you go. That's the idea that nothing can get between you and God as God is holding on to you and your holding on and nothing can ever separate you from thank you very that that that that that so when you recognize Scripture nothing can separate you from God. You're just hanging on God 's neck, and God is hanging on you and nothing can ever get between you. Nothing can ever separate you from God life nor death angelic or demonic today or tomorrow high or low thinkable unthinkable. Absolutely nothing can get between us and God 's love, because all the way that Jesus is our master embraces us because of the way Jesus embraces us. Nothing can getFriday by men. This Romans chapter eight and going to read verses twenty six to twenty eight is being twenty six to thirty Romans chapter eight of a couple of different versions here. I'll I'll read from the whatever version. This is an indie music and IV, and then I'll read from the message Bible. Later Romans chapter eight versus twenty six thirty in the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express and he searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according with God 's will, and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God for nude. He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and those he predestined he also called and those he called he also justified those he justified he also glorified. It is you don't even think well what does that have to do with Mother's Day. Well, did you ever in In re they are raising children. Did you ever find a place for you didn't know what to do it know which way to turn you did know OL I heard the story about eight euros, two young boys. he was talking about how that video, Ernie younger, they were always they were always fighting and so the mother got a Nerf ball. Instead, I want you to go out and play your guitar playing with football and I know no one can get hurt because it's inert ball and in all and no one will get hurt and your brothers is slope. The Nerf ball and water for about a week and then you put it in freezer and it will play with your brother why I I love that was funny, but I was always the younger one now.

Sometimes we put ours sits on the cross, say, God forgive me, but the sins that other people have done for us to us with a hard time forgiving those in letting them go. But you see the cross covers all sins. What I have done to God and to others and what others have done to me. I forgive them and let them go because in that attitude of forgiveness. I can now take away the failures of my life, the obstacles that I feel other people have put in front of me and I can remove them from who I am and who I will be, and I have a future with God. I have hope for the future. Now there's one other thing.
