Thanks for THEM???? Really? All of THEM? YEP ALL OF THEM!

1 Timothy 2:1
[ Instructions about Worship ] I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.

THEM WHO?  Simply put: ALL PEOPLE.   Yes, Shelby Dasher (the mom who killed her 18mos son.)   For Gary Pinkel, Mizzou coach for driving under the influence (praise GOD NO ONE WAS HURT), for the young men in Jackson, MS that thought it was ok to beat a random black man, then get in their pick up trucks with their girlfiriend and run him over, killing him.    For your boss/co-worker who you think has it out for you.   For you spouse who you had an argument with, or haven't talked to all week, or that you have been openly or secretly considering divorce.   For your neighbors who you know are haivng a rough time.  For your alcoholic or drug abusing___________________.   For our President, for our cities, or our SOLDIERS in dangerous places, for the sexual predators that you realize live 4 doors down, for the people in corrupt authority OVER US.  For the racist and bigots in our world.   For the depressed & lonely.   For the sane, and insane.  For the saints & sinners.   For the hungry and homeless.   For the homsexuals & heterosexuals.   For the lay people and staff people in our places of worship.  For those wandering through life without a clue.   For the pregant moms (teenaged, single, married, divorced) that are in need.  For the disabled, and those wrestling with difficult diagnosis.   For the orphans, and discarded babies & children in the world.

And I could go on.....but not just pray...but it also says intercede.....cross paths with these people and HELP THEM IN ANYWAY YOU CAN, and give THANKS FOR THEM?  WHY?  BECAUSE THIS PLEASES THE FATHER, and you are truly worshipping then cause you are following the greatest commandments: LOVE GOD, and LOVING PEOPLE! (LGLP) BE BLESSED!
