Subject: Attitudes or Beattitudes?? |
Bible Note: Good day to you too! I suspect that if we sought out the reason why our "feathers get ruffled" we might obtain some valuable PERSONAL insight that God would provide in order to conform us to the likeness of His Son. To participate or not - yes, THAT is a good question! I find that if my feelings get ahead of my facts, I'd better reign in my words and allow the Holy Spirit to speak to me about the situation. Of course there have been times when I have gotten into the fray - rather than the Spirit of humilty and love. My heart's desire is for us to be growing in our love for the Lord; to know Him as MORE than just Savior, but to know Him as Lord and Friend. At times I find myself becoming frustrated with some of the discussion, and yet part of this is necessary for us to "work out our salvation" - ie; do I really know WHO I believe and WHY? Have I "tested the spirits" and found THE Spirit? Over and over, God not only confirms His love for me, but He affirms His presence and desire to live through me. I am but a vessel, when used in the Hand of the Master, I am a conduit of His love to others. May this encourage you to allow Him to mold and shape you into the vessel that He desires to use for His glory. mommapbs |
