first post
Not to be intentionally misleading, but obviously this is not the first post I've ever made. But it is the first one my new Chinese baby! She is so sweeeet! (to be said with Josiah's voice intonations). This post is brought to you free of charge by GloverNet. :o)
Moving on ... there's a lot to be learning. I have ask Father to create stronger relationships with me in a couple of different areas in my life. My prayers were whole-hearted and I really want these relationships to grow deeper and be more fruitful. I just wish I had known when I asked that He was going to start by changing me. So maybe that's obvious to everyone else, but rest assured, now it is painfully obvious to me. I'm learning that I'm not the great leader that the Ldrs Studies Dept pumps out. I have learned that I need to curb my "enabling", especially enabling people to use me. I have learned that sometimes it comes down to choosing not to care, and that is my choice. Love covers a multitude of sins, right?
Really it's all about choice. Our choices lead to obedience. Choose to abide in light or choose darkness; choose live life or choose death; choose walk in blessings or choose cursings. Not making a choice defaults my decisions as the latter. But it really is my choice. God is only interested in a real love, that means one has the option to not love. He has established His kingdom now. I can choose to participate now. Participating is not as hard as I think or as hard as I make it out to be. Engaging with God is being open to talk with Him when He has something to say. It's asking what's on His mind as opposing to rambling off what's on mine. It's asking for the Holy Spirit to be empowered and walking the empowerment as He opens opportunities. It's thinking the same as God; aligning our thought patterns with His.
I know this much to be true: He is the God who keeps all His promises. He will never leave me or forsake me. He has promised to never let me walk off without bringing me back. He thinks I'm beautiful. I am His. He has called me by name. He has given me the tongue of the learned. He likes me.
