| i am going to cry. i dont know if i can really stand this anymore. if Jesus wasn't with me, I would surely have taken my own path... and that would have ended in destruction. Thank you Jesus! You have won yet again! I am thankful!!! | | |
| O man, I was reading a buddies email and sorta (sorry buddy) daydreaming about something else (I suppose though, it shouldn't be classified as a "daydream" because I know it came from God :) so I was having a revelation).
WE MUST PRAY!!! There is NOOO way anything will ever get accomplished without it. I mean, there's no way any scenario can turn Heaven-bound without prayer.
Look at us.
Are we people who can make things happen by our own strength?
Whenever we see a problem, if we even attempt to try to fix it without first bringing it before the Lord, doesn't that sort of bring all the attention and glory to ourselves?
I believe we need to realize what God's kingdom culture really looks like.
I'm mainly aiming this to myself because I realize how often I read in the Bible and I don't really take everything Jesus did upon myself. Amazing concept isn't it, that we have authority to do even greater things Jesus did while on the earth? But, don't even for a second think that it means we have the authority in us but it is JESUS IN US THAT HAS THAT AUTHORITY and we are the vessels that carry His Spirit. We've gotta lift Him up! I've gotta lift Him up! I'm gonna lift Him up! God, please do help me!
I realize that the Lord puts a lot of things on my heart (I'm sure many people's hearts) but I am shy to walk this road that's alien to human eyes. Every time I have this kind of edification in my spirit, I think to myself "Oh, TODAY is the day that I will step it up and I'm gona go for it. I'm gona live for the Lord and I'm gona make Him known no matter what people think! No matter what the enemy throws at me! No matter if I feel owned or not! I'm gona do it for Jesus. I'm ready to look like a stranger to this world!" and then, next thing I know, I'm looking back at the days that pass after that "motivational speech" and realize nothing has changed. How frustrating it is in my soul when I see the weakness of my flesh. Is it possible that one day there will be a breakthrough? (O! I believe it's true! But it just seems so unbelievable by my own understanding)
Isn't it amazing how Jesus loves us?!! I was just thinking about Jesus' disciples. Did they ever struggle with following Jesus? and Peter came to mind. ... I am so floored at what happened when Jesus was being taken away that night, and Peter denied knowing Jesus (denied loving Him, denied being His best friend, denied all the things Jesus gave him, denied the fact that it was by grace in the first place that he was chosen to be one of Jesus' 12 disciples. Peter denied his Savior.) But, from what I remember, Jesus didn't really hold this against Peter did He? ... Why does Jesus have to be soooo perfect in Love? How does His love cover over a multitude of sins? Why would Jesus be so self-less? Of course Jesus was torn apart because His loved friend, whom He spent so much of His time with, so much effort with, so much Love on, turned a cold shoulder at Him when the going went tough.
O Jesus, how all human beings do this to You!! It's just so NOT FAIR to You!! WHY do You love us so much!!? We are sick sick sick people. We've used You. We've abused You. We've taken You're love for granted! We've slapped You. We've all played a part in Your death. O Jesus, You are just too wonderful!
We always gripe about fairness. O, God isn't fair. God, why this or why that! ......... AFTER HAVING A LOOK AT JESUS' LOVE FOR US, PLEASE, SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS FAIR?!!!? Jesus dying on the cross for us; Jesus loving us; Jesus spending any amount of effort on teaching us about His Father; Jesus patience on us.....THIS IS ALL NOT FAIR!!!!
O God, humble us. Open up our eyes to see Your faithfulness. May gratefulness and love for You fill the core of our lives - and may our lives be so radically changed by the understanding of WHO YOU ARE that we do nothing but thank You all the days of our lives! Not only that, but tell people about You, that they can thank You also!
Jesus, You've done something that absolutely boggles my mind. And THAT is why, You are sooo worthy to be praised! And you did it with a perfect attitude!
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Teach us O Jesus. Holy Spirit counsel us in this way Jesus lived!! | | |
| I'm sitting around my room right now, waiting for my turn to use the TV. ... weird? No, actually I have to use it because my laptop doesn't allow me to watch DVD's on it anymore (and, listen to CDs for that matter, but that's a glitch of a different kind). Apparently, Apple has this thing with region codes ... I don't even wanna waste the time to explain. Anyways, result: can't watch movies with region codes anywhere other than Asia. Ok... anyways, back to using the TV. I've gotta make up discussion questions about this movie that we're watch for Friday Evening English class. The Ultimate Gift is it's name. Its a pretty good movie. I'm just really sick of it right now cuz I've watched it about 3 times already making these questions each week. We watch about a 1/2 hour of it each week. Anyways, I'm pretty anxious ... I wish she'd get off the TV so I can do this already ......... If I don't get it sent out earlier, then the other leader won't have a chance to look over it before the class. and since english is their second language anyway, it's pretty tough for them. Sometimes I think they could be one of the students. But bless their hearts for their willingness to help teach! ... ... AHH i need to go do this!!!!
Praise the Lord! I can't get on Facebook!!
(I'm kinda being sarcastic, kinda not)
.... baaaaaaah. I feel like I need more than 24 hrs in this day! ... gotta run. fun fun. ok, I'm done. | | |
