Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
 Chose a scripture verse to write about. Psalms 1:1 Psalms 1:1 KJV: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Why did I choose this verse? It was one of the first to pop into my head. There are so many great verses to write about. I have so many favored verses. I enjoy studying the Bible. You are blessed when you don't act upon the advice of the ungodly. Why? Because it's ungodly and will not please God. You are blessed when you don't stand in the way of sinners. Why? Sin is in their hearts. What is in the heart comes out the mouth and through their actions. I personally don't want to be on the receiving end of that. If actions aren't motivated by love, then the motivations are not good. You are blessed when you don't sit in the scorner's seat. Why? It's not really any fun if you are scorning someone or someone else is scorning you. Where's the blessing in all the negativity? |
Do you have a hard time admitting your wrong doings? To God? To Others? To Yourself? Would there be something you would feel ashamed of if you were to meet Jesus face to face today? Sometimes. It's never easy to admit your wrong doing to others. I desire to be good, and don't always want to admit when I am wrong to myself or anyone else. However, if we are always judging one another so harshly, How can we confess our faults to one another and pray for one another? This is a difficult subject for me. I grew up as a preacher's kid. Everything I did wrong quote unquote reflected on my dad, the preacher. I was a preacher's kid and therefore the expectations were higher. It's kind of not fair when you are in that position. You might be a normal kid, but it's like your wrongs are magnified into something more than they should be.  |
Is there someone in your life who doesn’t respect your relationship with God? How do you handle that? There is always someone who doesn't like it. However, respect is a 2-way street. I have to respect other people's right to have relationships with other gods or no god at all. It is possible to care about their soul and not shove my own beliefs down their throat. If someone doesn't respect my relationship with God, then I pray for them and move on. If I have to be around them on a regular basis, I try to stay on mutual ground. If God gives me the opportunity to respectfully share my faith with them, then I will do so. It has to be Spirit led and not forced. I think a lot of people either forget this or they don't realize it at all. |
How would you like to be remembered most in life? What steps do you need to take to get there? I want to be remembered for my love of others. I try to imitate Christ's love for others, but I know I fail often. It isn't always easy to love like Christ. I have to work on this every day. I try not to react out of anger. That's the biggie for me. I try not to wish a curse or any bad upon people who wrong me. I try to forgive as quickly as possible. I try to treat others the way I want to be treated and sometimes even better. |
If you could talk to Jesus face to face today, What would you ask him? How do you think he would answer you? When I think about it, I don't know that it would be any different than it is now. There was a time in my life that i didn't feel that way. Of course communication and perception is clearer than in person than in a mirror. So it makes me understand 1 Cor. 13 a little more where it says I see through a glass darkly but then face to face. . .I will know even as I am known. I listen to the still small voice and we speak back and forth all the time. |
